On Saturday afternoon at 1 P.M. Eastern, the 53-28 Philadelphia 76ers, the no. 3 seed in the East will host the 45-36 Brooklyn Nets. Mikal Bridges and co. finished as the Conference’s no. 6 seed.
The Sixers wrapped up their year with the third best net rating in the NBA with a +4.4. Brooklyn grades out 14th overall with a +1.1 net rating. But the Nets started the year with the likes of Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. At one point earlier in the year, when KD and Kyrie were still there, the Nets won a franchise best 18 of 20 games.
