By halftime, paced by 11 points from Mirza Teletovic, 10 from Anderson and nine apiece from Williams and Blatche, the Nets had established a 58-48 lead.

Philadelphia was in for more of the same after the break, as Brooklyn opened the second half on a 17-3 run sparked by 11 points, including three 3-pointers, from Johnson, who finished with 29 points in the third quarter alone. The Nets would enter the final stanza up 100-73 and put things on cruise control down the stretch, wrapping up their third straight win on their home court.
