If you are playing defense, and gain possession of the ball (not in the air) in your front court (the opponents back court), you need to stay there. There is no momentum rule on this. If you secure possession of a ball while in the air, you are allowed to make a normal landing anywhere. You could jump from your front court, intercept the pass, and land in your back court and that is legal.

However, if your team is on offense and your teammate is in back court and passes you the ball, you may NOT jump from your front court, catch the ball and land in back court. That is a violation.

I hope this clears it up for you.
