Showing no signs of slowing down since being moved to the starting lineup, Bojan Bogdanovic rained down 44 points in a winning effort against a Philadelphia 76ers team, who, down 17 going into the fourth quarter, rallied to cut it to 10 before Brooklyn closed out the game.

Bojan Bogdanovic has 40 points, but the #Sixers have cut a 24-point deficit to 10. Timeout #Nets. Philly fans making noise.

The Nets were 10 for 24 from 3-point land, and D-league call-up Sean Kilpatrick continued his productivity, adding 19 points, and may have found his niche on this roster.

Lost amidst the Bogie smoke, Sean Kilpatrick has 16 points. He’s averaging nearly 13 points since joining the #Nets.

By the fourth quarter, Nets fans and NBA fans alike were going nuts on Twitter:

Brook Lopez just drained a 3 from the top of the key. Let’s go home.

This marks the Nets’ second win against the Sixers since losing Joe Johnson under new GM Sean Marks. It’s good to see the bench celebrating in Brooklyn again, for once.

The Nets will take on the Bulls in Chicago Thursday night, at 8 PM ET on YES.
