The Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Brooklyn Nets, 107-86, at Wells Fargo Center on Sunday afternoon.

The 76ers (47-35) came into the finale knowing they'd need to take care of business on their end in the hopes of still climbing out of the play-in level, but the non-contending Nets (32-50) got the better of them in the first quarter by forging a 23-22 lead. However, that served as a wake-up call, with Philadelphia going on to outscore Brooklyn by a 59-41 margin in the middle quarters to take control of the game for good.

Cam Thomas led the Nets with 18 points, adding three rebounds and two assists. Noah Clowney furnished 16 points, four boards, two assists, one steal and one block. Trendon Watford delivered 14 points, eight rebounds, five assists, one steal and one block. Lonnie Walker managed 12 points, six rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal.

Tyrese Maxey paced the 76ers with 26 points, complementing them with three rebounds, three assists and one steal. Tobias Harris supplied 21 points, eight boards, two assists, one steal and one block. Buddy Hield registered 19 ponits, seven rebounds, five assists and one steal. Paul Reed generated a 13-point, 12-rebound double-double that included three assists, two steals and two blocks. Cameron Payne recorded 10 points, three assists, two rebounds and one steal.

The Nets' season is now over, while the 76ers now will head into the postseason while still awaiting their final placing.
