DENVER NUGGETS? LOSS AT THE HANDS OF HOUSTON ROCKETS

Posted by John Elia on January 8th, 2019

The Nuggets apparently came face to face with their toughest opponent so far in 2019. Nuggets had won five games consecutively and were well aware of the potential dangers of facing Houston Rockets. However, the plans failed miserably when Rockets broke their winning streak on Monday night with a striking 125-113 win. Denver’s record dropped to 26-12 while Rockets achieved their 12th win in 14 games. For Cheap Denver Nuggets Tickets log on to tix2games.com.

Despite that Nuggets tried their utmost to contain Harden he still managed the highest score in the game that aided Rockets to win. With his 332 points and 14 assists, Nuggets were already overwhelmed but the game didn’t stop. And Harden’s miraculous efforts at scoring despite being contained give air to his teammates who then buried 22-47 3-pointers. They also held the most advantage on free throws and managed 34 free-throw attempts. The gap was too much to fathom for Nuggets.

Anyhow, there were some that made notable attempts at gaining scores like Nikola Jokic leading 24 points and 13 rebounds, and Monte Morris’s 21 points. Get Your Denver Nuggets Tickets from Tix2games.com for handsome discounts.

By the fourth quarter, the Nuggets finally got a little closer with 96-89, but the Rockets never let them cross over with their consistent 3 pointers with six triples. The Nuggets had a plan they were going to attack the paint and somehow survive through Rockets’ 3-pointers bombarding. Denver Nuggets Tickets at Tix2games are much affordable than any other online ticketing website.

Their plan gave them help at least for a while with 60-32. But then Houston’s 3-point bombarding, P.J. Tucker’s seven triples, and Gerald Green’s six didn’t spare any more chances.

After making major advances in their recovery from injuries, Paul Millsap and Gary Harris came up to be a part of the line in the Monday’s lineup. The only starter left with injuries still to be healed is Will Barton, who is expected to return within a few weeks according to Coach Malone.

The recent injuries include Harris with an injured Hamstring inflicted in the third quarter and was unable to return. Cheap Tickets for Denver Nuggets are on sale at Tix2games.com, you can get them at much cheaper prices if you choose us.

The Nuggets successfully had contained Harden for the first half after which he started his 3-pointers attack which left an awakening effect on his teammates and Murray continued his job afterward. Even though Nuggets were trying their utmost in holding up Harden, by the halftime he had made 18 points with 7 assists and 9 free throws resulting in Rockets’ 70-60 lead. Rockets also furthered with a 27-11 advantage in free throw attempts.

The plan was blocking Harden and let others try and beat them but unfortunately, the plan didn’t yield out any good results as Clint Capela and P.J. Tucker together made 34 points by the two quarters. The best offense was played by Denver was Jokic’s 15 points finishing and 9 boards.
