The Nets showcased a commanding performance against the Rockets, clinching a 110-98 victory. Key player Day'Ron Sharpe made a significant impact despite limited playtime due to a hamstring issue. His vigorous play energized the team and inspired aggressive defensive efforts, leading the Nets to secure a comfortable halftime lead. The Rockets struggled to keep pace, with only Jalen Green managing to score in the double digits early on. This victory marked a crucial rebound for Brooklyn, emphasizing their physical style of play against a team previously riding a winning streak.
Sharpe was just outworking guys. After checking in for Nic Claxton with under five to play in the first quarter, his activity was unmatched.
The Nets had to be the more physical team to have any chance in Houston and Sharpe set the tone - and his effort was contagious.
Brooklyn came to play, and the Rockets looked lost. The Nets remained the aggressors in the third quarter, and it was an 83-64 game entering the final frame.
It was the Nets' third-largest halftime margin of the season, but arguably their best considering the opponent.
