"Brooklyn's reserves stormed back from a huge hole in the fourth quarter before falling 104-97 to Philadelphia in front of 18,418 at Xfinity Mobile Arena. The Nets trailed by 28 and by 21 after three. The bench went on a 31-9 run to briefly take the lead against the Sixers."
"Brooklyn - which played without Michael Porter Jr., Egor Demin and Day'Ron Sharpe - gave up the next six straight Sixers points and never recovered. Josh Minott led the way with 14 points for the Nets off the bench."
"The Nets are starting to show similar commitment. They trailed the Sixers 29-16 after one and 53-31 at intermission, their lowest-scoring first half of the season. It got even uglier in the second, down 67-39 after a VJ Edgecombe midrange with 7:39 left in the third."
The Brooklyn Nets lost to the Philadelphia 76ers 104-97 despite a dramatic fourth-quarter comeback led by their bench players. Brooklyn trailed by 28 points and 21 after three quarters, but reserves mounted a 31-9 run to briefly take the lead. The Nets' starters were unavailable due to injuries and absences, forcing reliance on bench players like Josh Minott (14 points), Danny Wolf, and two-way player E.J. Liddell. Philadelphia scored six straight points to regain control. Brooklyn's record improved to 17-50, tying Washington for third in the lottery race. The Nets are increasingly showing commitment to tanking through lineup decisions.
