It doesn’t have to be pretty, it just has to work.
The Sixers squeezed past the Brooklyn Nets, 96-84, Monday night to take a 2-0 series lead.
Tyrese Maxey had a game-high 33 points, getting there on 13-of-23 shooting, including going 6-of-13 from behind the arc.
Joel Embiid took just 11 shots, but still impacted the game with 20 points, 19 rebounds, seven assists, and three blocks.
Tobias Harris had a double-double with 20 points and 11 boards.
