Daily News | Sixers blow past Brooklyn Nets in regular-season finale ahead of playoff matchup
“I’m just trying to get to see the end of the Masters,” the coach said during his pregame media availability.
Shake Milton and Paul Reed , two players expected to be in the rotation for at least part of the postseason, anchored the Sixers Sunday. But it was a big afternoon for both two-way players. Mac McClung, the NBA Slam Dunk champion and two-way guard, narrowly missed a triple-double with 20 points , nine assists and nine rebounds. Louis King, meanwhile, had 20 points in his Sixers debut.
That collective effort from the Sixers countered the impressive individual performance from the Nets’ Cam Thomas, who scored 46 points on 16-of-29 shooting including 6-of-8 from long range. But the Sixers turned up the defense late, doubling Thomas and pick him up full-court to prevent him from reaching 50.The Sixers led by as many as 20 points in the first half, when Milton converted a layup that made the score 43-23 less than two minutes into the second period.
That was because of the unconventional personnel on the floor for both teams. But there also was not much incentive to show or work on any plays or schemes, given the looming playoff matchup.
