LOS ANGELES, United States, Dec 21, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - Kevin Durant scored 31 points as the Houston Rockets bounced back from a controversial overtime loss to beat the Denver Nuggets 115-101 on Saturday. Houston coach Ime Udoka was fined $25,000 by the NBA earlier this week after lambasting the officiating in the Rockets' 128-125 defeat to Denver on Monday. But the Rockets avenged that loss with a hard-fought victory as the Western Conference rivals faced off again in Denver on Saturday. Durant was involved in an angry exchange with Denver's Bruce Brown late in the third quarter which saw both players separated by team-mates. Durant appeared nonplussed by the spat, while admitting that he had deliberately taken a combative approach into the game.
