The Big Story: Rockets vs. Nuggets
In a highly anticipated rematch, the Houston Rockets and Denver Nuggets face off once again. Last time, Nikola Jokić and Alperen Sengun both recorded triple-doubles, but the Nuggets came out on top in overtime. Now, the Rockets are seeking revenge, and they've got a hot-shooting Kevin Durant leading the way. Durant dropped a game-high 31 points, including five 3-pointers, as the Rockets rolled to a 115-101 victory. But here's where it gets controversial... Durant's performance was overshadowed by the incredible 11-0 run led by Reed Sheppard in the third quarter. Sheppard's three 3-pointers in the final 1:15 of the quarter ignited the Rockets and put them in control.
Other Key Takeaways:
- The Mavericks and 76ers put on a show, with Tyrese Maxey, Dominick Barlow, and VJ Edgecombe leading the way for Philly.
- New Orleans dominated Indiana in the first quarter, with Zion Williamson and Trey Murphy III leading the charge.
