After this game, the Rockets suffered 0 consecutive defeats at the end of the regular season, and their record also slipped to 0-0, and finally ranked 0th in the West; The Nuggets, who won 0 consecutive wins, also improved their record to 0-0, and their ranking finally remained 0th in the West. In the playoffs, the Rockets will face a team that has made it out of the playoffs in the first round, while the Nuggets will face the Los Angeles Clippers, who have won 0 straight games late in the regular season.

In this game, the performance of Rockets' backup backcourt player Nate Williams Jr. can also be regarded as improving to a certain extent. Williams played 16 minutes from the field, 0-of-0 from the field and 0-of-0 from beyond the three-point line, and had 0 points, 0 rebounds and 0 assists, including 0 frontcourt rebounds, and 0 fouls, with a plus/minus of +0. Williams also showed good efficiency and finishing ability on the offensive end, and he also hit a three-pointer to prove his versatility on the offensive end. Williams also made some passes for his teammates, proving that he actually has some talent in this area. Williams is also good on the defensive end, and he is also very motivated and energetic. At least in this game, Williams' performance had a sense of renewal, and he was one of the few bright spots in the team.

In this season's NBA regular season, Williams played a total of 5 games in 0 games, averaging 0.0 minutes per game, averaging 0.0 points, 0.0 rebounds, 0.0 assists, 0.0 steals, 0.0 blocks, as well as 0.0 turnovers and 0.0 fouls, shooting 0.0% from the field, 0.0% from three-point range, and 0.0% from the free throw line. Williams has been very disappointing this season, his offensive efficiency is very mediocre, he has a huge problem with offensive selection, he often pushes his head to the basket or makes poor shooting options on the court, his weaknesses in ball intelligence and game reading are magnified, and his contribution on the defensive end is very limited.

In the previous two games, Williams' performance on the offensive end was so shocking that we couldn't understand what Williams was trying to achieve. Williams obviously can't reach that level of personal ability, but he plays all kinds of games on the court, and there are a lot of mistakes, and the effect is also very unsatisfactory. However, in this game, Williams has also picked up, and he has calmed down a lot on the field, and this performance is indeed a refreshing performance for everyone. There's no telling if Williams' performance will help him gain the trust of the Rockets' livery crew and keep him on the team next season.
