The Denver Nuggets ( 10 - 14 ) defeated the Houston Rockets ( 12 - 13 ) 114 - 108 for the third - straight time on Monday night . Denver appears to have the Rockets number this year , as they have scored over 107 points in all three wins . There were some eye - popping stats here , as the Nuggets outrebounded the Rockets 52 - 26 in the victory . Denver also shot 51 percent from the field to Houston 's 47 percent . The three - point shooting would indicate that the Rockets won this game , as Houston went 18 - for - 40 from long range , while Denver just went 8 - for - 25 . Houston actually ended the game on a big run and nearly made a huge comeback , but fell just short . The Rockets use the three - ball as their life source , but that was n't the difference tonight . They shot fantastic from long distance , but could n't rebound and could n't defend . The defense has been terrible all year and they really ca n't stop this Nuggets team for some reason . James Harden led the team with 24 points , three rebounds , six assists and three steals . Donte Montijunas , who has missed the majority of the season , scored a season - high 19 points in a promising performance . The worrisome part of this game as that there were times that Houston was just standing around and effort simply should never be an issue for an NBA team . They 'll have to travel to Sacramento on Tuesday to take on the Kings in the second half of a back - to - back set , in what should be an extremely high - scoring game . The Nuggets played a fantastic third and fourth quarter to run away with a big win . They set a season - high with 62 points in the paint and doubled the rebounding total of the Rockets . All five starters for Denver scored in double - figures , but their best player tonight was sixth - man Will Barton . He led the team with 23 points scored and also provided nine rebounds , three assists and three steals in the win . Danilo Gallinari also had a nice all - around game , as he contributed 15 points , five rebounds and seven assists . Gary Harris also scored a career - high 21 points and continues to grow while playing elite defense night in and night out . Denver will look to keep this momentum going against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday .
