Led by a massive night from Clint Capela (23 points, 25 rebounds) and a casual 28/11 showing from MVP frontrunner James Harden in only 27 minutes, the Rockets cruised past the Denver Nuggets (29-26) on Friday with a 130-104 victory at Toyota Center. - The victory is the seventh straight and 11th in 12 games for the Rockets (41-13), who remain tied in the loss column with the Warriors (42-13) for the league’s best record and home-court advantage throughout the NBA playoffs. Houston holds the tiebreaker. - Saturday’s postgame show examines those angles and more, including the successful return of Eric Gordon (12 points in 27 minutes, +24) from a back injury and a curious decision by Mike D’Antoni to start P.J. Tucker over Ryan Anderson at the four spot. - Other topics on the show include the news of veteran big man Brandan Wright agreeing to a deal with the Rockets (17:36 on the show) after reaching a buyout with Memphis, and an early look at where the LeBron James derby for this summer likely stands (33:08) after Thursday’s massive wave of trades in Cleveland. - #Rockets #NBA #Nuggets - Learn more about your ad choices.
