With less than 10 seconds remaining, the Nets trailed by four at 97-93 and were taking the ball out on the sideline. After a bit of an issue getting the ball inbounds, Tosan Evbuomwan found Keon Johnson on the opposite wing for a quick 3-pointer that hit nothing but net and cut the deficit to one at 97-96.

The Brooklyn Nets will be facing the Houston Rockets, this time at home, for the second time in three days and they are more motivated since then.

The Nets, coming off one of their better victories of the season, were greeted at practice Monday by the postgame remarks of Houston head coach Ime Udoka, who slammed his own team’s effort and said that was the reason for the loss.
