All season long, the Nets’ mission has been securing a top seed in the lottery.

Mission accomplished.

After falling Thursday against Indiana and Friday in Milwaukee — both against tanking teams similarly incentivized to lose — Brooklyn clinched a coveted Top 3 spot in the lottery standings after getting help in other games on Friday night.

They now have a 14 percent chance of winning the lottery and 40.1% odds of a Top 3 pick, drafting no worse than seventh.
