The Brooklyn Nets (6-10) came into Friday's NBA Cup game at the Philadelphia 76ers looking to continue the good work that they did to beat the Charlotte Hornets on Tuesday and start their road trip on the right foot.

Few would’ve also expected Cam Johnson to morph into a lethal scorer despite his hot shooting touch. Johnson kept up his torrid pace Friday night but the 76ers’ dual closers of Tyrese Maxey and Jared McCain were too much, sending the Nets to a 113-98 loss at Wells Fargo Center in Emirates NBA Cup play.

Jared McCain scored 30 points and Tyrese Maxey added 26 as the Philadelphia 76ers snapped a five-game losing streak with a 113-98 win over the Brooklyn Nets in an NBA Cup game.

Jared McCain had another stellar outing for the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday night against the Brooklyn Nets. In the absence of the All-Stars Joel Embiid and Paul George, the Sixers needed a group of guys to step up and fill the void of the star power lost to the injury report.

Despite being without Joel Embiid, who is dealing with swelling in his left knee, the 76ers managed to end a five-game losing streak against the Nets behind another outstanding performance from self-proclaimed "rookie of the year" Jared McCain.
