The Rockets never looked as overwhelmed and outmanned this season as they were in...
Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray is pressured by Houston Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr. during the second quarter of an NBA basketball game Wednesday, Nov. 30, 2022, in Denver. For two of the four halves of basketball in Denver this week, the Rockets played the Nuggets evenly. They could take little satisfaction from that. They still could not come close to the Nuggets.
Nikola Jokic had 17 points with 12 assists, including 10 in the first half. Jamal Murray followed the season-high 31 he scored Monday with 26 on Wednesday. Aaron Gordon added 20 with Bruce Brown, who is starting with Michael Porter Jr. out, scoring 18.But from the start, the Nuggets played as if to assure there would be no repeat of Monday’s half a shootout, stomping the Rockets from the tip.
That gave the Nuggets a 30-point lead. They would lead by as much as 33 in the first half with Jokic taking just two shots.
