It was an exciting night for Philadelphia 76ers fans, as the squad evened its first-round series with the Brooklyn Nets. After an uncomfortably close first half, the Sixers detonated in the third quarter, dropping 51 points after starting the frame on a 21-2 run.
Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons both experienced a return to form, while Tobias Harris, Mike Scott and Boban Marjanovic all made positive impacts. Even J.J. Redick was effective, dropping 17 points and finding his groove on offense.
The game featured several important developments for the Sixers, including some major improvements over Game 1.
