Nets lose 117-106 vs. Sixers in second game of back-to-back

In addition to losing DeAndre Jordan on Wednesday, the Brooklyn Nets also lost their game against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Brooklyn’s first loss on Tuesday came when DeAndre Jordan exited the game against the Philadelphia 76ers early and did not return due to a dislocated right middle finger. The Nets’ second loss of the night was their actual game. They came up short in Philadelphia, losing 117-106 to the Sixers.

After back-to-back strong shooting performances following his return from a right shoulder impingement, Kyrie Irving went cold on Wednesday. He finished with 14 points on 6-for-21 shooting (1-for-2 from 3-point territory). Irving had six rebounds, four assists and two steals in his 37 minutes of action, but he also finished with a team-worst plus-minus — which was a whopping -29. The next-lowest plus-minus for Brooklyn on Wednesday was -10 (Taurean Prince).

Despite Prince having one of the Nets’ worst plus-minuses in the loss, he had a strong shooting performance. He scored 15 points on 5-for-9 shooting (3-for-4 from deep). Prince also had seven rebounds and three steals.

Dinwiddie led the Nets with 26 points. He was 7-for-10 at the line and 8-for-16 from the floor (3-for-8 from long-range).

Jarrett Allen had another double-double (17 points and 10 boards).

Caris LeVert scored 12 points off the bench and Wilson Chandler had 10.
