"The Nets rallied late, briefly took a fourth-quarter lead and watched their two-way group inject real life into a 104-97 loss to the 76ers at Xfinity Mobile Arena. The Nets dropped to 17-50 and lost their third straight. But for a team in evaluation mode, the closing stretch showed why these minutes matter, even when the final score doesn't cooperate."
"Danny Wolf led Brooklyn with 15 points and 10 rebounds. Josh Minott added 14 points on 4-for-12 shooting, while Ben Saraf finished with 12 points, four rebounds and five assists as the Nets shot 36% for the game. Quentin Grimes scored a game-high 28 points for Philadelphia, Justin Edwards added 19 and VJ Edgecombe had 16 points, four rebounds and seven assists."
"Brooklyn was missing a long list of regulars. Michael Porter Jr. was out with a right ankle sprain. Nic Claxton sat for rest. Drake Powell was out with left knee injury management. Day'Ron Sharpe, out for the season, missed the game with a left thumb sprain. That left the Nets starting Wolf, Nolan Traoré, Terance Mann, Ziaire Williams and Noah Clowney."
