Sixers Take Game 2 Against Nets, Head to Brooklyn with 2-0 Series Lead
Philadelphia Holds on for 137-133 Victory
In a playoff atmosphere that had the Wells Fargo Center buzzing, the Philadelphia 76ers held on to beat the Brooklyn Nets 137-133. With the win, the 76ers head to Brooklyn with a chance to take a commanding 3-0 lead in the series.
Key Moments in the Game
The game was a back-and-forth affair, with both teams trading blows throughout the night. The Nets led by as many as seven points in the third quarter, but the 76ers fought back to take a one-point lead heading into the fourth.
In the fourth quarter, the 76ers were able to pull away thanks to some key plays from Joel Embiid and James Harden. Embiid finished the game with 37 points and 13 rebounds, while Harden added 33 points and 10 assists.
The Nets were led by Kevin Durant, who scored a game-high 41 points. However, it wasn't enough to overcome the 76ers' balanced attack.
Game 3 Preview
Game 3 of the series will take place on Thursday night at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. The 76ers will be looking to take a commanding 3-0 lead, while the Nets will be desperate to avoid falling into a 0-3 hole.
The Nets will need to find a way to slow down the 76ers' high-powered offense. They will also need to get more production from their supporting cast, as Durant can't be expected to carry the team every night.
The 76ers, on the other hand, will need to continue to play with the same intensity and focus that they showed in Game 2. They will also need to make sure that they don't get complacent with their 2-0 lead.
