The Sixers did not drag. Despite the package of Franco-Cameroonian superstar Joel Embiid, they disposed of the Nets in Brooklyn (88-96) this Saturday, during the fourth game of the series which opposed the two teams in the first round of the play-offs. It is indeed appropriate to speak of this opposition to the imperfect since Philadelphia is qualified for the second round after this “sweep” (four victories in a row). 25 points and 12 rebounds for Tobias Harris and an almost triple-double for James Harden (17 pts, 11 assists, 8 rebounds).
In the Eastern Conference semifinals, the 76ers will face either Boston or Atlanta. The Celtics lead 2-1 going into Game 4 on Sunday night.
