After the euphoric high of a hard-fought Game 4 victory by the Philadelphia 76ers, it feels like this Nets series is all but over. The Philadelphia 76ers will likely be large favorites for Game 5 at home, coming back to the Wells Fargo Center on a three-game win streak after a demoralizing Game 1 loss. However, the Philadelphia 76ers aren’t out of the woods just yet. 3-1 series leads have been blown before — see: 2016 Golden State Warriors — and the Nets will be fighting for their playoff lives.
The Philadelphia 76ers are the better team, though, so as long as Brett Brown gameplans well and the players execute on the court, there’s no reason not to clinch the series Tuesday night.
