Basketball Nets' Thrilling Last-Second Comeback Against Rockets

Introduction

The Brooklyn Nets pulled off a stunning last-second comeback to defeat the Houston Rockets 99-97 on Tuesday night. The victory ended an 11-game home losing streak and marked their third consecutive win. Despite being down by four points with just 9.5 seconds remaining, the Nets executed back-to-back clutch plays to secure the win.

Keon Johnson hit a crucial 3-pointer to bring the Nets within one point. Then, Tosan Evbuomwan stole the inbounds pass, setting up D’Angelo Russell for a game-winning 3-pointer with 3.4 seconds left. The Rockets had a final attempt to win, but Jalen Green’s deep three-point attempt missed as time expired.

Even though Alperen Sengun dominated with 24 points and 20 rebounds, the Rockets couldn’t close out the game. This win revives the Nets’ season, showing resilience and clutch execution under pressure.
