Nikola Jokic blocked Jae'Sean Tate's drive to the basket as time ran out and the short-handed Nuggets escaped with a 95-94 victory over the Rockets.
Jokic finished with 28 points and 14 rebounds in the absence of forward Michael Porter Jr.
Aaron Gordon had nine points, including a pair of corner 3-pointers, his last one with 51.4 seconds left that gave Denver the lead. Jokic also had a block in the final seconds at Minnesota to preserve a win against the Timberwolves on Oct. 30.
