Nets 130, 76ers 94: Joe Johnson scored a season-high 37 points, including a career-best 10 3-pointers, and Brooklyn set a franchise record with 21 3-pointers in a rout over visiting Philadelphia.
Andray Blatche totaled 20 points and Paul Pierce collected 14 for the Nets, who won for the fourth time in their last five games. Deron Williams finished with 13 points and 13 assists and Alan Anderson added 13 points for Brooklyn, which shot 60.3 percent from the field and made 21-of-35 from beyond the arc.
James Anderson had 17 points to lead the way for the 76ers, who have dropped seven games in a row and 11 of their last 12. Thaddeus Young had 14 points and Tony Wroten chipped in with 13 for Philadelphia, which suffered its second largest margin of defeat this season and allowed an opponent to eclipse the 100-point mark for the 13th time in its last 14 games.
Brooklyn got off to a hot start and really never looked back in this one, leading 23-9 midway through the first quarter and riding eight points from Johnson to a 32-22 lead as the first frame came to a close. 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.
