Nets Snap Losing Streak with Narrow Win Over Wizards but Lose Two Starters to Injury

Drew Timme's decisive basket in his second NBA game secures Brooklyn's 115-112 victory, though injuries to Cam Johnson and Noah Clowney cloud the win.

The Brooklyn Nets ended a six-game losing streak with a 115-112 victory over the Washington Wizards, improving their record to 24-51.
Drew Timme, in his second NBA game, scored the game-winning layup with 7.7 seconds remaining and finished with 19 points, six rebounds, and three assists.
Cam Johnson and Noah Clowney both exited the game in the final minutes due to injuries, raising concerns about the Nets' depth moving forward.
The Wizards, holding the league's worst record at 16-58, squandered a 17-point second-quarter lead and have now lost seven of their last eight games.
The victory impacted the Nets' draft lottery positioning, dropping them behind the Philadelphia 76ers in the standings.
