Brooklyn Nets at Philadelphia 76ers
· NBA Cup - Group PlayMcCain and Maxey help the 76ers rally to beat the Nets 113-98 and snap 5-game losing streak
Playing without Joel Embiid (left knee swelling) and Paul George (left knee bone bruise), Philadelphia's young backcourt took over in the fourth quarter with an extended scoring burst that helped the Sixers rally from a nine-point deficit.
Both Embiid and George are expected to miss Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers before being re-evaluated early next week.
Kelly Oubre Jr. added 11 points and nine rebounds for the Sixers (3-12, 1-2 NBA Cup), who won just their third game of the season and for the first time in regulation. Philadelphia's other wins came against Indiana (Oct. 27) and Charlotte (Nov. 10).
Brooklyn was led by Cameron Johnson, who scored 37 points. Keon Johnson added 18 points for the Nets (6-10, 1-2 NBA Cup), who have lost four of their last five games.
76ers: With Embiid and George out, the growth of McCain — the club’s first-round pick out of Duke — has been one of the few bright spots.
