The Sixers pulled off their first sweep of a seven-game series since 1985, and earned time for Embiid to rest his injured knee.
Another Tobias Harris corner three-pointer went splash, prompting Doc Rivers to raise both arms to high-five the 76ers’ standout forward as he came off the floor for a timeout.In a game played without MVP frontrunner Joel Embiid because of a sprained right knee, Harris’ 25 points and 12 rebounds lifted the Sixers to a 96-88 victory over the Brooklyn Nets at Barclays Center to close out their first first-round series, 4-0.
Harris’ 11-of-19 shooting effort capped off a consistently strong series, when he scored at least 20 points in three of the Sixers’ four victories. Tyrese Maxey added 16 points on 6-of-20 shooting and eight rebounds. James Harden flirted with a triple-double despite shooting 4-of-18 from the floor as his struggles to finish at the rim resurfaced.
His jump hook cut the Nets’ lead to 53-52, before a finish off a feed from Harden gave the Sixers a three-point advantage. He also pulled down a one-handed rebound, and swiped a steal that led to Maxey’s timeout-prompting three-pointer. Reed later fielded another nifty pass from Harden and laid the ball in to give the Sixers a 78-72 lead with less than seven minutes to play.Behind Reed, Montrezl Harrell got his first real playing time of this series with five first-half minutes.
