76ers-Nets Best Worst: Stauskas, Harris and Nets' 4th-quarter meltdown

NEW YORK – Here is a look at some of the best and worst performances from the 76ers' 105-95 victory over the New York Giants Sunday afternoon at Barclays Center: 

Best performance: How could I not give this to Nik Stauskas? The Sixers shooting guard finished with 15 points on 4-for-7 shooting. All of his points came in the second half. He made 3 of 4 three-point attempts and all four of his foul shots. The third-year veteran also had two assists, one block and one turnover in route to grading out at a plus-22.

Worst performance: I had to give this award to Joe Harris. Give the Nets shooting guard credit for grabbing five rebounds. However, he failed to score a point after missing all four of his shots. Three of missed attempts were three-pointers.

Best defensive performance:  Robert Covington gets this award. The Sixers small forward had a game-high five steals, one block and 13 deflections. Covington also finished with 15 points and a game-high 11 rebounds.

Best performance in a losing effort: Brook Lopez made this an easy one. The Nets center finished with a game-high 26 points. He made 3 of 7 three-points and converted all seven of his foul shots.  He did struggle on the boards with just two rebounds. But overall, he had a solid game.

Worst statistic: You have to give this to the Sixers' three-point shooting in the second quarter. They missed all eight of their attempts.

Best statistic:  This goes to the Sixers' free-throw shooting. They made 23 of 27 for 85.2 percent.

Worst of the worst: I have to give this to the Nets' fourth-quarter meltdown. They pulled within one point (88-87) after Sean Kilpatrick's layup with 6 minutes, 24 seconds to play. Brooklyn, however, went on to miss six shots and commit three turnovers on its next eight possessions. That enabled the Sixers to build a 14-point cushion before Trevor Booker scored Brooklyn's next points on a layup with 1:36 remaining.
