Tobias Harris scored 14 of his 25 points in the second half as the Philadelphia 76ers completed an Eastern Conference first-round sweep of the host Brooklyn Nets with a 96-88 victory Saturday afternoon in New York.
The 76ers survived the absence of Joel Embiid after soreness was discovered in his knee following Game 3 on Thursday. They will face either the Boston Celtics or Atlanta Hawks in the next round.
Harris made 11 of 19 shots and also grabbed 12 rebounds as the 76ers dominated the boards by a 54-38 margin. James Harden collected 17 points, 11 assists and eight rebounds while Tyrese Maxey contributed 16 points and eight boards. Spencer Dinwiddie scored 20 points for the Nets, who were swept in the first round for the third time in four seasons and saw their postseason losing streak reach 10 games. Nic Claxton collected 19 points and 12 rebounds but Mikal Bridges made 6 of 18 shots and was held to 17 points.
