Nemanja Bjelica stuns Rockets with deep buzzer-beater after Russell Westbrook calls 'game over'

The Kings are on a roll.

With Marvin Bagley and De'Aaron Fox both still sidelined with injuries, Sacramento is leaving Texas with an unlikely two-game win streak over a pair of the West’s best.

After beating the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday, the Kings stunned the Rockets on Monday with a 33-foot Nemanja Bjelica buzzer-beater to secure a 119-118 victory in Houston.

Westbrook forced to eat his own words

Bjelica’s deep game-winner was an emphatic answer to Russell Westbrook, who moments earlier called game for the Rockets with a go-ahead bucket.

With time winding down and the game tied at 116, Westbrook dribbled the length of the floor and finished in traffic at the rim with a layup to give Houston a 118-116 lead with one second remaining.
