What were the highlights of the Nuggets' dominant win over the Rockets?
I needed this one tonight. We are live from the Toyota winner's lounge. Driven by a front-range sort of sort of the official vehicle of DMV are coming to you right after a Nuggets dominant Masterclass win 129 93 over the Houston Rockets It's a wonder it was an awesome performance. All the Nuggets are good and And we might be back, fellas. We're going to break it all down. We got a great show coming up. I'm Harrison Wood. I got Brendan Vogt in the house.
What is up, gang? It's been a minute, at least for me, I feel like, since I've been in the winner's lounge. I feel like I'm only around when they lose. This is great. This is awesome. They should do this more often, in my opinion.
Also joined by the guy who predicted a dominant performance by the Denver Nuggets, it's D-Line. Guys... the nuggets were dominant tonight you know i'll go through the fast breakdown now but you know this was a all-encompassing complete effort from the denver nuggets tonight 129 93 over the rockets
How did Cam Johnson perform in the game?
My first note of the game told the story, Nuggets playing with energy.
Correct.
It was very apparent from the opening tip that the Nuggets just had a focus, had an intensity, had an energy about them tonight that was going to put them in position to win this game. And it was on both ends. It was on the offensive end.
What impact did Nikola Jokic have on the game?
It was on the defensive end. The Nuggets looked locked in on both ends of the floor to start. My next note, Jamal Murray, nine points in the first quarter.
Why is Jamal Murray's performance crucial for the Nuggets?
Woo! He got going early, and he got going, I thought, to another level when the Rockets put Reed Shepard on him.
What role did Christian Braun play in the game?
He took that matchup personally, and I don't blame him. What is Houston really even doing?
And then they tried to get Reed Shepard off of him, and he was like, no, no, no, no. Come right back here. Come back here.
What is the best first-round matchup for the Nuggets?
I would like that. And Jamal Murray was locked in. My next note, Cam Johnson hustle plays? Tons of them. First note of Cam Johnson of the night. We'll come back to that a lot. He was getting loose balls.
How did the team chemistry look after this game?
He was rebounding. Nuggets up 24-20 after the first quarter. Not a great bench stint to start the second quarter. Really the only negative moment of the game. That... First half of the second quarter, Nuggets lost the four-point lead that they had. Not great big Val minutes versus Shingun. You think, okay, maybe the Rockets are a team you can play big Val against because they have Shingun, Capella.
What are the implications of this win for the Nuggets' playoff chances?
Didn't work in the first half tonight, but Tim Hardaway was very hot. Again, very aggressive. Two threes in that quarter. Yoke racking up steals. He had five steals in the first half. Nicole Yoke at halftime, 6.7 rebounds, nine assists, five steals. Then right before the halftime buzzer, I'm not going to call it a buzzer beater because it wasn't. Christian Brown, a three. Do you remember that play?
Yes.
Oh, yeah. He's five seconds left. Pulled up from 35 feet. Yeah, from downtown Browntown.
Oh, man.
Nuggets up just six at the half. But, man, it looked like they should be up more. They were playing the right way. And you felt maybe the Rockets were going to let go of the rope. And they did. Nuggets come out beginning of the third quarter with that same intensity. And Houston just had no answer. All of a sudden, up 19. And the story of the third quarter was Cam freaking Johnson.
Atta boy.
He went to an entirely different level than we've seen him recently. He just had this look about him tonight that... I don't know if we've ever seen that intensity from Cam Johnson all season. He was hitting threes. He was... Taking guys to the rim, setting screens.
We assume he was smack talking. We didn't actually see it, but it just felt like he was.
Confident Cam came out. Confident Cam loved it. And the fourth quarter was pretty much garbage time. Nicole Yoke did not have to play the fourth quarter. 129-93. The Nuggets get a huge, much-needed, complete win over the Houston Rockets. Let's go to our Red Hawk Roofing Big Takeaways, D-Line.
Guys, my Red Hawk roofing big takeaway. Bro, we're back. We're so back.
Listen, I would have bet a thousand dollars.
And honestly, I'm looking at the I'm looking at the box score and scientifically in this game, all of the nuggets are good.
