THINGS GOT HEATED 😳 KD CLASHES with Brown, Coach EJECTED as Rockets RAIN THREES

The Houston Rockets came into Denver looking for payback, and from the jump this one felt different 😤 After losing a tight overtime game earlier in the week, Houston responded with urgency, physicality, and elite shot-making to snap the Nuggets’ six-game win streak. Kevin Durant led the way with 31 points, shooting lights out from deep and setting the tone offensively, especially with Denver missing Peyton Watson to guard him. Things got chippy as the game went on — KD and Bruce Brown had words, the physicality ramped up, and Denver head coach David Adelman was eventually ejected after arguing calls involving Nikola Jokic. The turning point came late in the third quarter when rookie Reed Sheppard absolutely blew the game open. Sheppard scored the final 11 points of the quarter, burying three after three and completely short-circuiting Denver’s momentum. Houston finished the night hitting 19 threes at a 54% clip, while Denver struggled to find any offensive rhythm. Nikola Jokic finished with 25 points and Jamal Murray had 16, but the Nuggets never looked comfortable as Houston’s defense forced tough shots and contested possessions all night. Even when Denver’s bench made a late push, the Rockets slammed the door shut with a steal and dunk to seal it. This one had everything — revenge, elite shooting, tension, trash talk, and a clear statement win from Houston.
