PHILADELPHIA — Nic Claxton scored 16 points and tipped in the winner as time expired, Cam Johnson had 23 points and the Brooklyn Nets edged the Philadelphia 76ers 105-103. Tyrese Maxey buried a 3 with 25 seconds left that tied the game at 103 and helped the 76ers rally from a 17-point deficit. The game seemed set for overtime when Keon Johnson missed a long 3, only for Claxton to be in the right spot to score at the horn and send the Nets storming the court in a wild celebration.
