Tonight’s NBA matchup took center court inside Barclays Center where the Brooklyn Nets (16-19) hosted the Philadelphia 76ers (5-28). Tonight’s game was a must win for the Nets who came in on a 3-game losing streak. With Deron Williams out and Brooklyn calling back their reserves from the NBA D-league, it was time to see what Brooklyn would produce. Let’s get to the action.

The 76ers would manage to cut the lead to 2, 40-38 following 4 fast break points. But both teams would struggle to get easy buckets, including missed dunks. The 76ers continued to pound away at the lead until they were down by just 1 at halftime. The Nets would shoot 31.6% in the quarter while the 76ers outscored the Nets 22-14 in the same period. Nets lead 46-45 at the half.
After the break the 76ers would tie the game at 46 on a made free throw. Brooklyn would bounce back and build a 6 point cushion following a Jack-Plumlee Alley-Oop. The Nets lead would balloon to 11 then lose air at only a 5 point lead, 58-53. Mason Plumlee would reach another double-double in the quarter with 15 points and career high, 15 rebounds.
