It was a contentious home game for the Denver Nuggets that ended up in some Houston Rockets revenge on Saturday. Kevin Durant dominated, Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray struggled, and the Nuggets dropped another home game. Is there cause for concern? Not really. Is it annoying? Absolutely.
Nuggets fans know that Denver has more to give, but they might be running out of steam without some of their important rotation players healthy.
On the latest episode of Pickaxe and Roll, Ryan Blackburn and Danny Bailey react to the Denver Nuggets loss to the Houston Rockets on Saturday afternoon. Durant and Sheppard led the way for Houston, and Denver’s inability to get into a shooting rhythm proved costly. The Nuggets are now 8-5 at Ball Arena this season.
