Brooklyn Nets End 11-Game Home Losing Streak with Dramatic Win Over Rockets

Late 3-pointers by Keon Johnson and D'Angelo Russell secure a 99-97 victory after a last-minute rally.

The Brooklyn Nets defeated the Houston Rockets 99-97, marking their first home victory since December 4, 2024.
Keon Johnson and D'Angelo Russell hit crucial 3-pointers in the final 10 seconds to complete the comeback.
Tosan Evbuomwan's critical steal set up Russell's game-winning shot with 3.4 seconds left on the clock.
Alperen Sengun led the Rockets with 24 points and 20 rebounds, but Houston suffered its fourth consecutive loss.
The Nets, motivated by Rockets coach Ime Udoka's earlier comments dismissing them as a 'lower-level team,' swept the season series against Houston for the first time since 2022-23.
