Game 56 Recap: Rockets 106, Nets 96. The One Where Carlos Delfino and James Harden Stole The Show

Game 56 Recap: Rockets 106, Nets 96. The One Where Carlos Delfino and James Harden Stole The Show
Carlos Delfino is a member of the not-so-selective fraternity of decent-but-not-great NBA players who happen to always kill the Nets, along with co-members Mike Dunleavy, Kyle Lowry, and Brandon Jennings. Delfino scored 22 points last night
 

The Nets lost their 13th-straight game to the Houston Rockets, falling last night at Barclays Center by a score of 106-96. Carlos Delfino, proven Net-killer, and James harden each scored 22 points for Houston, who certainly benefitted from both Joe Johnson not playing (due to an ankle problem) and the Nets' lackluster perimter defense, as they hit 16 threes on the evening on just 30 attempts. Brooklyn led early on but the Rockets took the lead for good at the end of the first quarter and they never looked back. Brook Lopez led the  way for the Nets with 27 points.

Looking Ahead

The Nets try to start a new winning streak tomorrow night vs the Grizzlies in Brooklyn, a game that will be shown on ESPN.
