The Philadelphia 76ers managed to defeat the Brooklyn Nets in the regular season finale 107-86 on Sunday to finish the season with eight straight wins and finish at 47-35. It was a solid performance for a Sixers team that needed a win considering the East playoff standings.
That being said, Philadelphia is headed to the play-in. The Sixers lost to a three-way tie between themselves, the Orlando Magic and the Indiana Pacers. The Magic won fifth place, the Pacers sixth and the Sixers seventh.
Philadelphia will host the No. 8 seed Miami Heat in the play-in game on Wednesday.
Tyrese Maxey had 26 points for the Sixers while Tobias Harris had 21 points and eight rebounds, and Buddy Hield had 19 points, seven rebounds and five assists. Paul Reed added 13 and 12 rebounds.
