Game 3: Sixers look to take first lead of series tonight in Brooklyn

The Sixers will travel north to Brooklyn tonight for their first road game of the 2019 playoffs as they take on the Nets for Game 3. With the series tied 1-1, the Sixers could take their first series lead with a victory. Conversely, a loss just might incite riots all over Philadelphia.

The Barclay’s Center should be especially hostile this evening. Beef has been building between these two teams, with Jared Dudley and Ben Simmons exchanging trash talk, and the Nets apparently pretty upset over Joel Embiid’s elbow to the face of Jarrett Allen in Game 2.
