After swallowing six consecutive defeats, the Houston Rockets sat at home and faced the Nuggets back-to-back challenge during their two-game winning streak.
On the Rockets side, Eric Gordon is absent, Theis replaces Wood in the starting lineup, and whether the team can defend the home court, Jaylen Green + Kevin Porter Jr. undoubtedly needs to come forward.
On the Nuggets side, Aaron Gordon ushered in a comeback, trying to provide more help to Jokic, who led the team alone, leading the Nuggets to do a big job on the road and take 3 consecutive wins!
Finally, after four quarters of competition, with the excellent play of Jokic + Campazo + Aaron Gordon, the nuggets, who were mainly anti-away, quickly suppressed the Rockets in the first half, and achieved a huge advantage of as many as 22 points.
Coupled with the return of the second half, the Nuggets played steadily in the third quarter, taking advantage of the winning chase to continuously play a scoring climax, and firmly grasped the initiative of the game.
And when it came to the final final battle, in the face of a huge score gap, the Rockets, who saw no hope of chasing points, also took the initiative to surrender, and the game also entered garbage time early.
In the end, the Nuggets also won 124-111 on the road to the Rockets, which was worth the trip to win 3 consecutive wins at the same time, but also gave the opponent Rockets 7 consecutive losses!
In this game away from home, the Nuggets can be described as all soldiers, playing a team performance of 7 people scoring in double figures and multi-point blossoming.
In the case of Aaron Gordon + Barton + Chantal and other main players, continuing to perform steadily, the core of the team Jokic, as well as the play of the demon guard Campazzo, are particularly critical!
In this game, Jokic turned the tide on the inside, starting 23 minutes, shooting nearly 70% of the 8-of-12 shooting, scoring a team-high 24 points, plus a double-double performance of 11 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block.
In the face of the combination of Theis + Wood's interior line, Jokic not only played his own advantage, but also became a difficult existence for the Rockets to solve!
Of course, the Nuggets were able to win a big victory in this game, and the performance of the demon guard Campazo also played a crucial role.
Campazzo was very efficient, shooting three three-pointers and contributing 22 points, 4 rebounds, 12 assists, 5 steals and 2 blocks on 7-of-11 shooting.
While making achievements on the defensive end, it has to be said that the role and influence of Campazzo in the offensive end + organizational end of this game has indeed made a great contribution to the Nuggets to win the game!
More crucially, after winning three consecutive wins over the Rockets in this game, the Nuggets also stabilized the Los Angeles Clippers and Lakers with a regular season record of 18 wins and 16 losses, firmly occupying the fifth place in the West.
Judging from the current momentum of the team, it has to be said that this season under the leadership of Jokic + Campazzo + Aaron Gordon, this remnant Nuggets team is finally on the right track!
On the other hand, on the Rockets side, the team's offensive and defensive ends were comprehensively crushed in this game, and finally swallowed a 13-point rout + 7 consecutive losses, which obviously made it difficult for home fans to accept.
And jaylen Green played well, shooting 5 three-pointers, bombing a game-high 29 points, plus 1 rebound and 1 assist of the individual performance, the overall competitiveness of the team in this campaign is indeed yet to be examined!
After all, as a potential young player that the team management focuses on cultivating, Kevin Porter Jr. broke out in a fierce conflict with the team's assistant coach at halftime and left the Rockets home in the second half.
At the same time, Wood, who came off the bench, also broke out infighting in the midfield team, telling the coaching staff that he was reluctant to play in the second half, which really made the chemistry and unity within the team have a big problem!
Obviously, for the Rockets, who have lost 7 consecutive games and are worried about internal and external troubles, in the next schedule, this young team will undoubtedly face more challenges and tests!
