Jamal Murray had a rough shooting night (4-14 FGM), but I'm confident he'll get his swag back eventually. It's his first game back from injury. Sometimes it take time to develop a rhythm when you're coming off an injury.
Denver did a nice job of taking care of the rock. They only had four TOs. That's whassup.
Denver outscored Houston in the paint 54-44. That was the difference in the game.
W boy jokic, strikes again.
Doubt Denver coaches will be happy with tonight's performance. Sure, they got the win because they were hitting 3PT shots, but man bad decisions, many forced plays, low percentage shots & not creating proper offense. MPJ hail Mary at 7:07.
Meanwhile, Jokic apologizing to the coach for settling on taking a wide open 3 PT shot, which he hit at 4:51
His second dunk of the season is wild 😂
Jokić's pass at 7:50 was mental.
Braun is playing so good, dude just attacks the rim with no fear and does a hell of a job. Also that jokic poster
Jokic is too good. His boys are too good. One of my favorite teams to watch in the history of sports.
Point God MPJ with them 5 assist 🔥🔥🔥
0:15 Dude, Jokic turn Sengun into a traffic cone on this play.
Also its good to see Murray back, he was certainly missed (against everyone but the Clippers who are tragically the Clippers)
Clippers were so lucky that Nicola Jokic didn’t play them
Jokic probably apologized to Sengun for that.
This game really highlights how important Van Fleet is for the Rockets. Jalen Green can handle some of the playmaking duties but most of it needs to run through Van so Sengun and he can truly shine.
Bro this was a little backbreaking… I thought we played incredibly well, but the nuggs had control the entire game, never a doubt. Just suffocating to watch as a rockets fan lol
Bae Murray is back 🔥
Denver is showing multiple ways to score getting the TEAM involved. No opponent can think to try shut a player down when everyone is very capable to score and pass to allow the other to score.
Rockets&Denver nice game.
Nuggets offense is a beauty to watch. So unselfish, team oriented plays.
That's one Denver victory over Houston taken care of, and one more to go on Sunday.
Terrible game from Michael "The Possesion Ends Here" Porter Jr. I mean 5 assists!?! Disgraceful.
Foreign players have some of the most unorthodox styles , but they be effective
