The NBA playoffs return to New York for the first time in a long time on Thursday night as the Brooklyn Nets look to face off against the Philadelphia 76ers in a highly-anticipated Game 3.
Thursday’s Game 3 will start at 8 p.m. EST and will air on YES and TNT. Many expected Philly to win the series, some even favored a sweep until the Nets stole Game 1 and home court advantage against this squad. Game 1 is always the feel-out game for both teams, it’s one of the most important games in the playoffs because it sets the tone for the next three contests.
Embiid later apologized for the elbow in an interview, and ended up laughing with teammate Simmons while discussing the situation. Several players on the Nets found this disrespectful, and didn’t find it funny. Tempers are staring to boil as the playoffs continue to heat up.
