The Lead
Ignas Brazdeikis, playing against the team that waived him a little over a month ago, had his best game of his career with 21 points and R.J. Hampton finished one assist shy of a triple-double with 12 points, a career-high 11 rebounds and nine dimes, but it wasn’t enough to keep up with the Philadelphia 76ers, who clinched the East’s No. 1 seed in the playoffs with a 122-97 victory on Friday at the Wells Fargo Center.
Top Performer
On April 8, four days after appearing in his one and only game in Philadelphia following getting traded there at the deadline, the Sixers waived Brazdeikis.
