Rockets Extend Homecourt Winning Streak to Eight with Victory over Nuggets

Jalen Green and Alperen Sengun shine as Houston improves to 2-1 in NBA’s In-Season Tournament

Jalen Green scored a team-high 25 points while Alperen Sengun added a double-double as the Houston Rockets extended their homecourt winning streak to eight consecutive contests with a 105-86 victory over the Denver Nuggets.
Nikola Jokic paced the Nuggets with 38 points, 19 rebounds and eight assists, but Denver was bereft on offense elsewhere.
Starters Reggie Jackson and Aaron Gordon combined for four points on 1-for-20 shooting.
The Rockets have won three in a row over the Nuggets, including both meetings this season, after dropping the previous 10.
Houston improved to 2-1 in the NBA’s In-Season Tournament with a game left next week at Dallas, while Denver completed group play 2-2.
