NextImg:Nets cruise past Magic to clinch playoff berth with first-round foe set

The Nets are in the playoffs.

Now comes the hard part.

Brooklyn is essentially done with the regular-season, and now on to the 76ers.

Brooklyn cruised to a 101-84 rout of Orlando before a sellout crowd of 18,177 at Barclays Center on a Good Friday that turned out great.

The laugher clinched the sixth and final guaranteed playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, and let the Nets top last season’s win total with one date left on the schedule.

That date will be Easter Sunday against Philadelphia, the same team they’ll face in the first round of the playoffs next weekend.

Don’t expect any fireworks, or anything that resembles postseason passion.

Brooklyn (45-36) is locked into the sixth seed, the 76ers the third spot, and both could end up resting players.

But for the Nets, there will be no scoreboard watching, or trying to game the standings.

Just getting ready for next weekend’s 76ers series that really counts.
