Rockets finish strong to beat Nets

Published November 20, 2014

The Nets' Gerald Green inadvertently tipped the 106 win.

New Jersey held a 106-105 lead when Green, who finished with a season-high 26 points, tipped a Courtney Lee miss into the basket. Louis Scola was credited with the bucket and the Rockets scored the game's final seven points to halt a season-long five-game losing streak.

Goran Dragic had 23 points and eight assists in place of Houston's starting point guard Kyle Lowry, who checked into a hospital Thursday due to illness. Lee added 17 points and Chandler Parsons finished with 16 points, six assists and five rebounds.

The Nets were also without their starting point guard, Deron Williams. He was out with a sore right calf. MarShon Brooks had 23 points, a career-high seven assists and five rebounds in the setback, which halted a two-game win streak.
