Brooklyn races by Sixers squad without Embiid, Maxey
Wendell Cruz-USA TODAY Sports



 The Nets bounced back in a big way from a miserable loss to the Grizzlies on Monday night with an impressive win over a shorthanded Sixers squad.

Without Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey, Brooklyn still found itself down by double digits. The Nets did not quit and kept fighting back when they could have easily folded and saw their play-in chances sink further into oblivion. 

Five nets reached double figures including Dorian Finney-Smith and Dennis Schroeder with 20 apiece. 

The Nets, which they seldomly do, out rebounded their opponent- in this case the sixers- 44 to 38. 

Ollie went deep into his bench due to the team playing its second game in two nights. Ten players saw the floor with each of them getting in the scoring column and making their presence felt. 

Brooklyn will have an off night after the back-to-back and we'll take on a reeling Detroit Pistons squad on Thursday night.
