The Rockets beat the Nets 114-104 to win seven straight.
The Rockets became the first team in the four major North American professional leagues (NBA/MLB/NFL/NHL) to win seven straight after 15 straight losses (a record was set when they won six straight).
Meanwhile, the Rockets are the first team in NBA history to have won 15 straight losses and seven straight games in the same season.
The last time the Rockets had a longer than seven-game winning streak was in February 2019, when Harden led the team to an eight-game winning streak and averaged 42.1 points per game.

But Tucker's life is better than that[fig]](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP///wAAACwAAAAAAQABAAACAkQBADs=)
