MVP frontrunner James Harden was spectacular with 41 points (55% FG, 60% on 3s, 81% FT) to go with 8 rebounds and 7 assists as the Rockets (46-13) extended their winning streak to 12 games with a 119-114 triumph at Denver on Sunday night. The Rockets are now 3-0 vs. the likely playoff-bound Nuggets (33-27) this season.Chris Paul (23/6/5) was solid in a supporting role behind Harden, while newcomer Brandan Wright flashed in his Houston debut — posting a plus/minus of +9 in 15 minutes in his first outing as Houston's backup center (Nene rested on night one of a road back-to-back).Sunday's postgame show explores those storylines and more, including the importance of taking care of business against another potential playoff opponent and why Houston's newfound rotation depth is helping unlock the best versions of veteran role players such as Ryan Anderson (8 points, 5 rebounds, +10), Trevor Ariza (14 points, 5-of-7 FG), Luc Mbah a Moute (team-best +12 in 23 minutes) and P.J. Tucker (9 points, 3-of-5 three-point FG).The recap episode also discusses the increased usage of Joe Johnson (7 points, 29 minutes) and why the temporary absence of Eric Gordon (illness) may be artificially increasing his minutes over the short-term.#Rockets #NBA #Nuggets Learn more about your ad choices.
