Nets waste Cam Johnson’s unreal night in sloppy loss to 76ers

PHILADELPHIA — The Nets got a career performance from Cam Johnson.

And they fumbled it away, the same way they gave away the ball.

Brooklyn’s turnovers, sloppiness and self-inflicted troubles undid Johnson’s big shooting night and cost it a 113-98 loss Friday night at shorthanded Philadelphia.

“It was a lot self-inflicted,” coach Jordi Fernandez said. “We’re up five with 10 minutes to go, and it ends up being a [33-13] run. It’s not a good sign. It’s hard to win a game like that. We have to be better. We have to find a way to respond, especially on the road, and we didn’t. The team has always competed, and [Friday] their last punch, we just didn’t punch back.”

Despite Johnson finishing with 37 points on 9-of-13 shooting from deep, he couldn’t save the Nets from themselves.
