Nets Fall Short, Porter’s Future in Focus | Houston Rockets News

The Brooklyn Nets’ Summer League dreams ended in a gritty loss to the Houston Rockets, falling behind by 21 but rallying to cut it to 10 with 3 minutes left — ultimately falling short.

With the championship out of reach, the Nets still have one consolation game left — details pending.
