Mac McClung scored a career-high 20 points as the Philadelphia 76ers led most of the way and overcame a 46-point performance by Cam Thomas to defeat the Brooklyn Nets 134-105 on Sunday afternoon in New York during a regular-season finale without playoff implications for both teams. The 76ers (54-28) finished as the Eastern Conference's third seed and will start the playoffs next weekend at home against sixth-seeded Brooklyn (45-37). The Nets reached the playoffs for the fifth straight season in a year when they traded stars Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant at the trade deadline and used 25 players.
