The six-game road trip from hell continues tonight. It’s “from hell” because it involved a game thrust onto the Houston Rockets at the list minute as a result of the NBA Cup schedule fixes (at Denver), followed by a flight back east to take on (and lose to) the New Orleans Pelicans. Then it’s a flight right back to Denver for today’s contest. And then finally, the three-game California road trip has not been kind to Ime Udoka and his Rockets during his tenure.
We just saw this game, so there isn’t much more to say. With a win, the Nuggets wrap up the tiebreaker over Houston. Nikola Jokic is still amazing. Jamal Murray is having a great early season and will probably make his first All-Star team. A random Nugget player will have a career night. And if the Nuggets desperately need a point late, Tim Hardaway Jr. can just trip over himself again.
