It was a statistical down night for superstar James Harden, though matching his typical stat line is quite a high bar. Harden followed an impressive triple - double against the Warriors on Thursday with 20 points, six rebounds, and seven assists in Denver. Forwards Ryan Anderson and Trevor Ariza complemented Harden's offensive output by combining for 34 points and eight three - pointers. Bench players Eric Gordon and Sam Dekker combined for an additional 35. Overall, the Rockets' three - heavy offense was on full display, as the team shot over 50 percent and had 17 three - pointers. The Nuggets, meanwhile, characteristically won the rebounding battle, 52 - 42. However, the team struggled from three - point range, hitting just nine three - pointers. The team also turned the ball over 16 times, while forcing only 11 from the Rockets. Forward Wilson Chandler led the team in scoring off the bench with 24, while guard Will Barton slid into a starting role to provide 17 points, seven rebounds, and five assists.
