Brett Brown: 'Beating Brooklyn Nets gives us hope'

Brett Brown has said that beating the Brooklyn Nets was vital for the Philadelphia 76ers.

Evan Turner clinched the win in overtime yesterday evening with a three-pointer inside the final 20 seconds of the extra period.

The coach told reporters: "We needed to get that win for the sanity of the group, keeping our group together, holding hope.

"For those reasons as that ball is hanging on a rim and then decides to fall in, for us, given where we are, that is an important win."

The result leaves the 76ers with a 8-19 record this season.
