Thrusday night featured some very interesting NBA match-ups.

The Houston Rockets managed to beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 117-113 mostly due to heroic efforts by James Harden and Clint Capela.

“The Beard” had a triple double (35 p. 11 r. 13 a.) but it was Clint Capela who came up big just when his team needed him the most.

The Swiss big-man scored the teams final 6 points and came up with some crucial blocks on defense. He finished with 19 points, 13 boards, 1 assists and 3 blocks.

Nikola Jokic led the Denver Nuggets past the OKC Thunder (102-94). He had a double-double, 15 points to go along with 11 boards, 3 assists and a steal.
