The Brooklyn Nets closed their Sunday matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers with a lineup of Jacob Gilyard, Keon Johnson, Jalen Wilson, Noah Clowney, and Trendon Watford. The Sixers did have something to play for on the last day of the regular season, but all their standings contemporaries on their way to notching wins by the 3:00 p.m., so they let off the gas too.
The Brooklyn Nets’ 2023-24 campaign ended without a bang, without the frustration, heartbreak, or anger that Nets fans had become accustomed to over the team’s five-year playoff streak, or even the hope that streak started with in 2019.
