Nets clinch playoff berth but have bigger goals in mind
Team Gets Record 14th Straight Home Win
By the time the buzzer sounded on the red-hot Nets’ 105-96 victory over the Houston Rockets in front of a sellout crowd of 17,732 at the Barclays Center on Tuesday night, the only question remaining was what Brooklyn would choose to celebrate first.
There was a franchise-record 14-game home-winning streak that had just been completed, snapping the mark set during the franchise’s halcyon days in New Jersey back in 2002.
The Nets had also beaten the visiting Rockets for the first time in 15 meetings, dating to March 2006.
