Despite expectations that the 2024-25 Nets would be vying for a high lottery pick, the team has shown unexpected competitiveness on the court with a roster that seems outmatched. Under the guidance of rookie head coach Jordi Fernández, the Nets have secured three straight wins, including consecutive victories against one of the top teams in the Western Conference, the Houston Rockets.
A dramatic finish marked Tuesday night’s game at the Barclays Center. Trailing the Rockets 97–93 with only 9.5 seconds remaining, Nets guard Keon Johnson sank a three-pointer to narrow the gap to a single point. Brooklyn then intensified their defense on the Rockets’ subsequent inbounds pass, resulting in a mistake that Tosan Evbuomwan capitalized on by deflecting the ball to D’Angelo Russell. Russell, in his second tenure with the Nets, clinched the game with a game-winning three-pointer shortly after Johnson’s vital shot.
