You have to laugh. What else could you do after this one? I had three different lead-ins to this one as the clock was, slowly but surely, winding down at the Barclays Center. The Brooklyn Nets needing one final stop, up 98-97 on the Philadelphia 76ers with 12 seconds left, and seemingly getting it as James Harden, in his return to Brooklyn, miraculously blew a wide-open layup. Then watching it slip through their hands, as they surrendered an offensive rebound and free throws to Joel Embiid, despite having been so good on the glass all night.
Nets lose excruciating thriller against Philadelphia 76ers, 101-98
