The Brooklyn Nets snapped a five-game losing streak by beating Oklahoma City, 94-92, on Friday night after the Thunder’s Reggie Jackson missed what would have been a game-winning three-pointer at the buzzer at home.

Jarrett Jack scored 23 points off the bench to help the Nets.

It was the Thunder’s fifth straight loss, the league’s second-longest losing streak.

Joe Johnson scored 17 points, Brook Lopez had 16 points and 10 rebounds and Mirza Teletovic added 13 points for the Nets.

The Thunder, besieged by injuries all season and at times limited to eight active players, finally got some depth as Andre Roberson returned.
