Before the series even started, it felt like the Nets had an uphill battle against the higher-seeded 76ers. After the way Game 1 transpired, that has become even more evident.
Brooklyn struggled to hang with Philadelphia, losing by 20 points, to fall behind 1-0 in the series. Despite getting 30 points on 12-of-18 shooting from the field from rising star Mikal Bridges, the Nets did not have enough firepower to keep up with the 76ers.
Joel Embiid was quiet for his usual standards, finishing with 26 points, five rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal. It was James Harden who showed out for Philly, tallying a double-double with 23 points and 13 assists to set the tone in the series.
Can the Nets bounce back and steal one on the road before returning to Brooklyn? Or will Philadelphia take care of business at home?
