NBA Playoffs: 76ers look to extend series lead over Nets in Game 3
Brooklyn trails 2-0 in Eastern Conference quarterfinal series
Game 3 tips off Thursday at 7:30 p.m. ET at Barclays Center
The Philadelphia 76ers will look to take a commanding 3-0 lead in their Eastern Conference quarterfinal series against the Brooklyn Nets when the two teams meet in Game 3 on Thursday night at Barclays Center.
The 76ers have been dominant through the first two games of the series, winning by an average of 20 points. Joel Embiid has been a force for Philadelphia, averaging 24.5 points and 12.5 rebounds per game.
The Nets, meanwhile, have been struggling to find their footing in the series. Kevin Durant has been their lone bright spot, averaging 25.0 points per game. But the rest of the team has been inconsistent, and they have yet to find a way to slow down Embiid.
