The first half of the Brooklyn Nets-Houston Rockets game on Tuesday night ended in chaotic and comedic fashion.
Sometimes, things do not go as planned, especially when playing a professional sport. Look no further than Tuesday night’s game between the Brooklyn Nets and Houston Rockets.
With under 35-seconds remaining in the first half, the Rockets and Nets had multiple shot attempts to put some points on the board before entering their respective locker rooms. Instead, a rather comedic series of events took place, as both teams struggled to make a basket.
Watch Nets, Rockets bungle shot attempts
This is bound for SportsCenter’s “Not Top 10 list” or on the latest edition of Inside the NBA’s “Shaqtin’ a Fool.”
With none of those shot attempts being successful, the first half ended with Brooklyn leading Houston 64-47.
Entering Tuesday night, Brooklyn had four games remaining on their regular season schedule, and sat in 10th-place in the Eastern Conference. To gain better seeding, they had to pick up wins. Facing the last-place Houston in the Western Conference stood as a good chance to pick up a win for them.
Houston walked into the Barclays Center on a four-game losing streak, looking to bring an end to it with a huge win over the Nets.
