Joe Johnson bags late Brooklyn Nets winner

Johnson bags late Brooklyn winner

Joe Johnson produced a match-winning jumper at the buzzer to hand the Brooklyn Nets a surprise 95-93 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder at the Chesapeake Energy Arena.

The Thunder were ahead by as many as 16 at one point in the game, but their season-low scoring of 34 points in the second half allowed the Nets to carve a route back into the game.

Alongside Johnson, the Nets had Deron Williams to thank as he pulled off a season-high 29 points, five steals and four assists, while Paul Pierce added 18 and Alan Anderson came off the bench to notch 13 points for the visitors.

Following the result, the Nets are sitting in fourth position in the Atlantic Division, with a record of 11-21 for the campaign.
