The Brooklyn Nets threw everything they could at Joel Embiid, and when the center encountered multiple defenders, he often found other teammates to make plays. By being able to provide help for Embiid, the Philadelphia 76ers head to Brooklyn, N.Y., seeking a 3-0 lead when the Eastern Conference first-round series continues Thursday night. The 76ers eye a 3-0 opening-round lead for the third straight year and a seventh straight postseason win over the Nets. If Philadelphia can win Game 3, it can close out the series Saturday afternoon in Brooklyn.
