Kevin Durant had 23 points, 12 rebounds and 8 assists (10 of 10 at the line) and Alperen Sengun 20 points, 12 rebounds and 8 assists as Houston beat Denver 110-100 to end a two-game skid. Jamal Murray scored 38 on 14-of-23, and Nikola Jokić had 25 points, 16 rebounds and 9 assists, one assist short of another triple-double. The Rockets (8-3) played again without centers Steven Adams (right soleus strain) and Clint Capela (right ankle sprain).
