Rockets Beat Nuggets 110-100 as Durant Scores 23 and Sengun Posts Near Triple-Double
The Houston Rockets beat the Denver Nuggets 110-100 at home on the night of November 9, with Kevin Durant scoring 23 points and Alperen Sengun adding a near triple-double of 20 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists. Houston led throughout the first half, by as many as 19 points, before Denver — led by Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray — fought back to tie the game, but the Rockets steadied in the closing stretch and pulled away again. Murray scored 38 points, 13 of them in the fourth quarter, and Jokic had 25 points, 16 rebounds and 9 assists, but it was not enough on the road. For Houston, Bogdan Bogdanovic and Reed Sheppard hit key three-pointers in the fourth quarter to seal the win. The Rockets’ season has swung up and down — blowout wins over Oklahoma City and Boston, losses to Minnesota and Phoenix — and this victory put the team back on track. Houston next plays on Wednesday, November 11, at home against the Golden State Warriors, who have just won eight straight.
