Nets Secure Back-to-Back Wins with Stunning 110-98 Victory Over Rockets
Brooklyn ends a two-month drought of consecutive wins by defeating a top-tier Houston team missing key players.
- The Brooklyn Nets defeated the Houston Rockets 110-98, marking their first consecutive wins since November.
- Ziaire Williams led the Nets with 21 points, 8 rebounds, and a key late-game three-pointer, while D’Angelo Russell added 18 points.
- Brooklyn capitalized on Houston’s struggles, as the Rockets played without All-Star Alperen Sengun and lost Fred VanVleet to an ankle injury mid-game.
- The Nets maintained a double-digit lead for the final 25 minutes of the game, with a strong defensive effort holding Houston to 40% shooting from the field.
- Jalen Green scored a game-high 29 points for Houston, but the Rockets’ offensive woes were compounded by poor shooting from Amen Thompson and Dillon Brooks.
