Sean Kilpatrick scored 24 points, and Chris McCullough and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson added 13 apiece for the Nets.
Brooklyn, the No. 6 seed, improved to 3-1 and moves into Saturday’s quarterfinals to face No. 14 Cleveland.
No. 1 pick Ben Simmons lost each of his games with the 76ers, but definitely looks like he’s going to be a dominant pro, blessed with superior vision and passing skills to go along with a terrific frame.
Coty Clarke was big for the Wolves off the bench, finishing with 16 points, while Xavier Silas hit double-digits for his third straight game, finishing with 10 points.
The Sixers have been a team that has featured gritty players looking for avenues into the league over the past few seasons, and that isn’t going to go away completely with their roster still relatively uncertain moving forward, even under Bryan Colangelo.
Brandon Ashley scored 12 points for the Hawks and Taurean Prince, had 10 points but shot just 2 for 10 for the No. 10 seed. Levi Randolph led Memphis with 26 points. His best game was in the opener when he scored 23 points, grabbed four boards, passed out four assists and had two steals. Philadelphia was 12 of 35 (34 percent) on 3-pointers.
