Break out the brooms.
The Sixers have swept the Brooklyn Nets out of the first round of the NBA playoffs with a 96-88 win Saturday afternoon. Without Joel Embiid, who suffered a sprained right knee in Game 3, Tobias Harris led the way with 25 points and 12 rebounds.
Paul Reed put up a double-double in the absence of Embiid with 10 points and a career-high 15 rebounds. And James Harden declared war on all two-pointers as he finished with 17 points on 4 of 18 shooting.
