The Denver Nuggets ( 5 - 4 ) defeated the Houston Rockets ( 4 - 5 ) 107 - 98 on Friday . The Rockets did nothing to assuage the concerns Head Coach Kevin McHale had expressed less than 48 hours ago , failing to reach 100 points for the second consecutive game while suffering a second straight loss . Houston had endured a similar scoring drought over the season 's first three contests before breaking out of their offensive slump by averaging 113 points over the next four outings , all victories . A lack of support for James Harden ( 28 points ) seems to have played a large part in dooming the Rockets ' quest for victory Friday , with backcourt mate Ty Lawson somehow failing to score over 34 minutes on the floor . The Rockets did enjoy a resurgent performance from Terrence Jones , who had himself been shut out over 16 minutes in his return Thursday folowing a five - game absence prompted by a facial laceration . Jones came off the bench Friday to post a highly - efficient 23 - point , seven - rebound , four - block performance over just 21 minutes of court time . Trevor Ariza also contributed 13 points , while Dwight Howard tallied a fourth consecutive double - double with 12 points and 10 boards . The Rockets ' record fell to 4 - 5 and now reside in third place in the Western Conference 's Southwest Division . They head home for a Saturday night showdown with the Mavericks . Danilo Gallinari continues to reap the benefits of full health , a rarity for the talented but oft - injured forward . He led the Nuggets with 27 points on outstanding 78 percent shooting . Kenneth Faried pitched in with a 14 - point , 11 - rebound double - double against a Rockets frontcourt surrendering the second - highest points per night to opposing power forwards , while Will Barton exploded off the bench to amass a season - high 26 points in just 31 minutes . J.J. Hickson and Jameer Nelson also tallied double - digit scoring contributions in starting and reserve roles , respectively . Denver improved their record to 5 - 4 and are currently in second place in the Pacific Division 's Northwest Division . They now head to Phoenix for a Saturday tilt of their own versus the Suns .
