NBA Twitter reacts to Mac McClung, Sixers knocking off Nets in finale
The Philadelphia 76ers were able to finish off the 2022-23 season with a 134-105 win over the Brooklyn Nets. It was one of those season finales where neither team played their main players and considering these two teams will meet in the playoffs on April 15, it makes sense as to why neither team wanted to play their main guys.
The Sixers were led by a trio of players score 20 points each. Shake Milton had 20 points and eight assists, Louis King had 20 points, and Mac McClung had 20, nine rebounds, and nine assists. The Sixers also received 17 points and 10 rebounds from Paul Reed and Dewayne Dedmon had 14 and seven rebounds. Montrezl Harrell had 15 and six rebounds.
McClung is the one who stole the show with his all-around play and some highlight dunks and layup finishes over traffic. He showed off the athleticism that won him the slam dunk contest at All-Star weekend.
NBA Twitter reacted to McClung’s big game for Philadelphia:
