HOUSTON – The Houston Rockets lost their team-record 20th straight game, falling to the Oklahoma City Thunder 114-112 Sunday when John Wall missed two shots in the final 10 seconds.
The Rockets’ skid is tied for the ninth-worst in NBA history and the longest since Philadelphia’s record-setting 28-game losing streak across the 2014-15 and 2015-16 seasons.
Houston took a 110-109 lead with less than three minutes remaining. After the Rockets went ahead, Lu Dort blocked Wall's layup from behind to protect a 113-112 edge.
Wall then missed a deep 3-pointer at the buzzer. Dort scored 23 points and Isaiah Roby had 18 for the Thunder, who led by as many as 13 points.
