    I want to be more proud of our first road win. But that was absolutely pathetic in the fourth quarter.

  5. willymoose8

    last 5 minutes lasted an hour and gave me a heart attack…

    but on the other hand WE MAY NEVER LOSE AGAIN

  7. MilesMidnight

    We won a road game bitches everybody get in here

  9. elskiepo

    First road win at arguably the hardest arena to play in. I’ll take it.

  12. GNESmail

    I’m so sick of playing the nuggets. Good win

  14. StrawHatRetro

    The Nuggets going try to duck us in the playoffs again come April

  15. CalgaryCheekClapper

    Great win. Finally benefit from the refs and win on the road

  17. ROTOH

    Ok it got fuking stupid affff at the end but holy shitttt we above 500 again with a road win!!!!! Nothimg will upset me!!!!!

  18. MugiMartin

    3-1 against the defending champs. Hey, we’ll take it.

  21. teshlik

    SO! MANY! EMOTIONS!

    I might pass out.

    Love this Rockets team! 🤘🔥

  23. timmysp

    Shout outs r/rockets for wanting to trade Jalen Green in our first road win.

  24. ptcgoalex

    Now we can afford to lose every other road game this season if we can just win our home games and be at .500

  25. Right-Worth-6327

    In the words of Will Hardy, a dog shit fourth quarter, but I’ll take it 🚀

  28. gstratton27

    Excellent Jalen game on the road. Big time. Hope it’s a part of a trend.

  29. KDs_FakeAccount

    Haters need to give Jalen his credit tonight, played a good game on the Road. 3rd Quarter Jalen is becoming 3rd Quarter Curry ish

  30. Anibunnymilli

    Messy win but you gotta remember that we’re a young team.

    Road Nintendo is nice!

  32. AlertPound9343

    Winning the season series on defending Champs ✅️
    First road win ✅️
    Back to having a winning record ✅️

    Boys had me SWEATING at the end there, but gutted it out. This win feels big.

  33. m3rckury

    Great energy and effort tonight from pretty much everyone.

  34. AngryLurkerDude

    Without FVV composure and ball handling we legit would have never won this game.

    FVV has been an amazing Rocket. Deserves every penny we gave him.

  35. AdmirableRise3758

    The fourth quarter took a couple years out of my life i cant lie

  38. baby_yoda_hunta

    3-1 this year against the champs and first win in Denver since the 18-19 season. 🤘🏽

  39. TVjunkie15

    I think having to fight for their first road win will do more for them in the long run than a blowout would have. A blowout can easily be chalked up to a fluke. They had to earn this one.

  40. BigTonyEnergy

    That was invaluable experience those last 7 minutes. Need to gain all the clutch time XP before the playoffs.

  41. opg_gameboy91

    First road win and against the defending champs 😈

  42. WuziMuzik

    Finally a road win! Also thanks refs! also damn the nuggets started hacking early, that took forever!

  44. lachdanan13

    It’s been some bitter taste at the closing part but still a great game for both earning some unique experience for the late game situation and giving some message to other good teams on the road, this team is learning,

    And the Rockets urgently needs Amen to be ready as the second point guard, we really need that boy to adapt quickly for the team to level up!

  45. SubstantialCategory6

    Won by the backcourt for a change?

    Alpi was rolling in the first half. I know he rolled his ankle in the 3rd and was limping, but I think Ime iced him too long and let Jokic get hot.

  47. pham_nguyen

    First road win is against the toughest home court in the league. Wow.

  48. Main-Performer-2607

    This is the Jalen I want to see. Use that athleticism to create for yourself in the midrange.

  49. wgel1000

    This game was clear evidence of how young and inexperienced this team still is.

    The way the Nuggets closed the gap, the pressure they gave us, combined with our difficulty in scoring shows how much this team needs to mature to deal with adversity in future seasons.

    Games like this are great for learning / development and it’s good that we also came out with a win.

    3-1 against the Champions!
