Houston played a solid game today, beating Denver 94-79. Denver players and fans were expecting the game to be a bit closer, but everything went well for Houston today. "It was really frustrating," said Denver star White. "I thought we were going to be ready for this game, but we just couldn't do anything against them." Coach Bob seemed perplexed early on, but made a few adjustments late in the game that were too little, too late in this game but may help his side out next time these two teams meet.

Houston was led by Lewis (30 points, 5 boards, 1 assists), Battle (21 points), White (13 points, 0 assists). Denver was led by White (20 points, 7 boards, 0 assists, a steal), Ferguson (19 points, 5 boards, 0 assists), Beachum (7 points, 2 steals, a block).
