GAME STORY: Nikola Jokic, streaking Nuggets rout Rockets for fourth consecutive win by msinger
And with an emphasis on protecting their home court, the Nuggets dominated from the outset. The 120-100 pummeling yielded Denver’s fourth consecutive win and second straight over the reeling Rockets.
At times during his 17-point, 12-assist, nine-rebound performance, Jokic hardly looked like he was trying. Armed with more help than he’s ever had, Jokic probably wasn’t. After dissecting the Rockets with his passing, Jokic took a decidedly more aggressive approach in the third quarter when the Nuggets tried to land the knockout punch. After they’d pulled within 20 a few minutes into the quarter, Jokic stepped confidently into a 3-pointer from the wing and buried it. He hit a couple more around the rim before exiting, as the possibility of a short night’s work presented itself. Denver headed to the fourth quarter with a commanding 96-75 edge.
