After a free throw from Dillon Brooks, Houston was four in Brooklyn with 9.5 seconds – just defend a little, don’t turn the ball around and it should be a rockets winning again.
Then Keon Johnson and D’Angelo Russell happened.
For Houston that is the young Amen Thompson who learns a hard lesson about getting the ball. Jalen Green missed a deep 3 with the buzzer who tried to win the game for the rockets.
Johnson led the nets with 22 points in a low scoring competition and hit three 3-PINTERS en route.
Alperen Sengun returned to action with 24 points and 20 rebounds-on search for the All-Star-Voor Houston. If the rockets want to watch when they lost the game, it was less the last seconds and more the 14-0 Brooklyn-Run in the third quarter that everything changed. On the other hand for Houston Rookie Reed had Sheppard 16 from the couch.
