Views from the Game: Rockets defeat Nuggets 110-100; TDS speaks with Kevin Durant, Alperen Sengun

The Houston Rockets snapped their two-game losing streak with a 110-100 victory over the Denver Nuggets on Monday night. Kevin Durant set the tone early by scoring 11 points in the first quarter, helping Houston build a halftime lead of 54-40. Despite Denver tying the game in the third quarter behind Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray, Alperen Sengun took charge late to seal the win.

Houston played with Sengun as their sole active center due to injuries to Steven Adams and Clint Capela, as well as an illness sidelining Oscar Tshiebwe. Head coach Ime Udoka noted that Adams and Capela could return during the upcoming road trip to Washington or Miami. Postgame, Udoka praised Houston's ball distribution, which finished with 29 total assists.
