The Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Brooklyn Nets, 117-111, at Barclays Center on Monday afternoon.

The 76ers (29-16) extended their winning run to four games here, a solid production considering they have been without Joel Embiid for the last few games, as they had to come from behind to get past a resilient Nets (18-24) team. Brooklyn entered this game having lost 10 of their last 12 contests, but they grabbed an early 32-29 lead in the first quarter, and they extended it with a 36-35 score in the second quarter. However, Brooklyn would see their four-point lead evaporate after the half-time break. Philly cut the deficit to one point following a 26-23 score in the third quarter, and they would complete their comeback in the final 12 minutes of action where they registered a 27-20 advantage. Aside from extending their winning run, Philly moved to 9-14 on the road with the win, while the Nets continue to crumble and are now 11-11 at home.

Ben Simmons carried Philadelphia offensively since he finished with 34 points, 12 rebounds, 12 assists and five steals while shooting 12-14 from the field and 10-14 from the charity stripe. Al Horford had 19 points and six boards, while both Tobias Harris and Josh Richardson chipped in with 15 points. Furkan Korkmaz contributed off the bench with 10 points, three assists and two boards in 24 minutes.

Spencer Dinwiddie led the way for the Nets with 22 points and five rebounds, while Jarrett Allen chipped in with a 13-point, 13-rebound double-double.

Caris LeVert (16 points, six assists), Nicolas Claxton (15 points, four rebounds) and Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot (12 points) all delivered strong performances while coming off the bench.
