Butler’s three-point basket clinches it

Jimmy Butler made a threepoint basket with 0.4 seconds to play, giving the Philadelphia 76ers a 127-125 victory over the host Brooklyn Nets on Sunday.

“He kept taking his time and I am like, ‘Are you going to freaking shoot the ball?’ ” Joel Embiid said. “You know, big-time play. He got to his spot and he made a big-time shot.”

Butler’s winner from the right wing capped Philadelphia’s rally from 20 points down in a game the Nets led nearly all the way.

Butler finished with 34 points and 12 rebounds, and Embiid had 32 points and 12 boards for the 76ers.

D’Angelo Russell had 38 points, his highest total with the Nets, eight assists and eight rebounds. Spencer Dinwiddie scored 31 points off the bench.

The Nets shot 57% from the field to head into the half with a 68-54 lead before the 76ers rallied.
