The Brooklyn Nets put up more than a good fight against the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday. After falling behind 20-4 in the first quarter, the Nets went on a ridiculous 40-8 run.
But that still wasn’t enough to get past the Sixers. Philly forced overtime, and the Nets weren’t able to keep up, only scoring one point to Philly’s nine. Brooklyn fell 112-104 to the Sixers.
Both Caris LeVert and Spencer Dinwiddie finished with 20-plus points.
LeVert led the Nets with 25 on 9-for-29 shooting (3-for-8 from 3-point territory). He also went 4-for-5 at the free-throw line, grabbed six rebounds and dished out five assists.
