Murray scores 38 as Denver loses to Rockets

The Denver Nuggets could not find consistent offensive production outside Jamal Murray, resulting in an 110-100 loss to the Houston Rockets on Monday. Although the team had previously shown resilience against fully healthy opponents like the Thunder, their shooting struggled and they fell behind by a significant margin early in the game. Murray was the only source of offense for Denver, recording 38 points on 14-of-23 shooting while leading his team to victory over teams with losing records. Kevin Durant led Houston with 23 points, 12 rebounds, eight assists, one block, and a three-pointer in a performance that saw him attempt at least 14 shots across the Rockets' recent games.
