Stay connected for news and updates

The Nets still have time to avoid finishing with the worst record in NBA history, but they will end the season without a road win against the Western Conference. The 0-15 mark came to fruition amongst a barrage of short Luis Scola jumpers in Houston on Saturday night. The game was close through the first three quarters, but the Rockets pulled away with a 7-0 run in the fourth after Devin Harris missed an opportunity to tie it. Scola led all scorers with a career-high 44 points on 20-25 shooting. The Nets shot 54 percent from the field and 9-15 from 3-point range, but made just 17 of their 26 free throw attempts and were outrebounded by the Rockets 43-31. Courtney Lee led the Nets with 24 points on 10-14 shooting. Brook Lopez added 22 points and 10 rebounds, but turned the ball over seven times. Devin Harris (19 points and seven assists), Jarvis Hayes (16 points, 4-5 from 3-point range) and Terrence Williams (14 points and four assists) also had strong offensive games.
