Live broadcast on December 1st News the Nuggets beat the Rockets again 120-100 today. The Nuggets were in the lead in the whole game, leading 20 points in the first quarter, with a maximum score difference of nearly 30 points.
However, the Nuggets coach Mike Malone was not satisfied with the performance of the team in the second half: “I told the coaching staff at half-time that no matter how much we lead, I am more nervous now than before the game. I know this team, and I have witnessed it again and again (the team is not as good as the first half in the second half), which is very frustrating.”
In fact, the Rockets were 24-44 behind the Nuggets in the first quarter, and 47-74 behind at the end of the half. The Rockets are only slightly superior in the third and fourth quarters 25-22 and 28-24.
Speaking of the team’s 14 wins and 7 losses, ranking second in the West, Mike Malone continued: “When the schedule of the new season in August was arranged, I knew that the match between October and November was a challenge for us. And it is in our complete health situation, but in fact, we are not all available. Therefore, the current record is really great for us.”
