Sloppy 76ers remain winless on the road

BROOKLYN 122 PHILADELPHIA 97

D’Angelo Russell snapped out of a slump with 13 of his 21 points in the second half, and the Brooklyn Nets kept the Philadelphia 76ers winless on the road with a 122-97 victory Sunday.

The 76ers had 28 turnovers, most in the NBA, leading to 39 points for the Nets.

“That is not who we are,” coach Brett Brown said. “And I give credit to Brooklyn, but that is an unacceptable performance.”

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson scored 21 points and Caris LeVert had 20 for the Nets. They took a small lead into halftime thanks to 17 turnovers by the 76ers, then blew it open with a 41-point third quarter. They kept pouring it on in the fourth and Brown removed Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons with a 24-point deficit.

“It’s not Golden State. We shouldn’t lose a game to Brooklyn by that many points,” Embiid said.
