They fall to the Houston Rockets in a game that, this game sucked, man. It sucked. Really rough offensive game from the Nuggets. A really physical game where tempers kind of flared a little bit. And we definitely have a lot to discuss. I'm Harrison Wind. I got Superstar Dev with me.
There was like a argument earlier about if this was a matinee or not. And you know what I'm thinking? That was a matinee. It was for sure a matinee. They played like it was a matinee.
What was the significance of the physicality in this game?
In my head, the Nuggets are 0 for on matinees when they play matinees. I don't have that data.
What did Bruce Brown say about Kevin Durant's trash talk?
I don't have those stats, but it feels like these games are always tough.
What sparked the heated moment between Bruce Brown and Kevin Durant?
And this was absolutely a tough game. 115-101. The Nuggets lose third time playing Houston so far this year. They're now two and one against the Rockets. And the Nuggets fall to 20 and seven overall, eight and five at home, another loss at home. And we will break it all down from you. We've got Brennan Vogt a little later from Ball Arena. Really curious to hear what he says, actually, because I'm sure there were some interesting postgame comments. David Adelman got tossed in this game. Bruce Brown, Kevin Durant went at it. We'll talk about all of that first, though. Let's give a little fast breakdown and talk about how this game went. First note of the game. Doesn't really tell the whole story, but it was an interesting note.
Spencer Jones balling in the first quarter? He had nine in the first quarter in this game. Played the whole quarter. Shot four, six, hit a three, two assists and a steal.
What were the main issues with Jokic and Jamal's games?
He was balling out. It was the Spencer Jones quarter. But you know who else got going in that first was Reed Shepard. Three triples from Reed Shepard and the Nuggets just... Their defense wasn't up to par on him, just did not stay attached to him enough on the perimeter today, and he burned them a lot. That was a sign of things to come. That probably could have been the first note.
I mean, I just was looking at his stats. It feels like he destroys the Nuggets every single time.
How did the Nuggets' shooting struggles affect the game's outcome?
That's what it seems like. I wonder if he does this to every other team. Well, he doesn't. He doesn't do that to every single team. It is the Nuggets and how they allow him to do it.
He was unconscious in this game. He finished with... 28, six and nine from three. Kevin Durant got going in that second quarter, but you know, the Nuggets were being really physical. I liked how they were playing defense in this game and the refs let this be a physical game. Mark Davis was the official. You usually get a physical game with him and that's definitely what we got today.
How did the Nuggets perform against the Rockets?
There was also, I'm not even gonna call it a hard foul because it wasn't. Remember the picket foul on Durant on the fast break? He kind of just like hip checked him a little. went in hard with the body and Durant didn't like it. He was jawing with picking at the free throw line. That also was a sign of things to come. Nuggets went double big midway through the second quarter. Not against, you know, Shangoon and Adams, but it was against Shangoon and Durant with Smith out there too. So still a big front line. Didn't work that well.
What insights were shared about the Rockets' strategy against the Nuggets?
And then Josh Akogi hit back-to-back three-pointers. You got to pick your poison, you know, in this league and against the Rockets. Nuggets left Akogi wide open. Not a good shooter, but shooting 47% from three this year. And he had a couple big ones today. Um, Nuggets were only down eight, though, at halftime after playing not a great first half. Yoke got going a little bit in that second quarter at the rim. He also picked up three fouls in the first half, too. Got out of it, got out of the first half with four fouls, though, or with just three fouls, luckily.
