James Harden pulled up from the left wing, sunk one of his devastating 3-pointers and sent the Nuggets on their way to their fourth consecutive loss. The Nuggets, now 9-5 after Tuesday’s 109-99 defeat at the Pepsi Center, didn’t suffer a four-game losing streak last season. Harden scored 22 points and tallied 11 assists, including several of the no-look variety that kept the Nuggets’ defense off balance and paced the Rockets’ 55 percent shooting effort.
