HOUSTON, Nov. 7 (UPI) -- A 21-point effort from Ty Lawson Wednesday boosted Denver to a 10-point lead midway through the fourth period and the Nuggets held on to down Houston 93-87.

Lawson made 3-of-4 of his 3-point attempts and added eight assists. Denver won on the road for the first time in four tries this season.

Kenneth Faried added 16 points and 16 rebounds for Denver while Corey Brewer delivered 14 off the bench.
