The Sixers scored 51 (!) in the third quarter on their way to a big win over the Nets in Game 2.
Simmons had a disastrous Game 1, on the court and from a PR perspective after he criticized fans for booing during a game the Sixers were never really in. He backtracked the next day at practice and never gave another 20,591 fans a chance to do anything but roar in approval in Game 2. Simmons flashed the All-Star form that helped lead the Sixers to 51 wins, and was aggressive from tipoff.
Iverson and former Sixers teammate Dikembe Mutombo attended the game and tossed T-shirts into the crowd. The Nets collapsed in the second half, outplayed and overmatched much as expected by pundits and bookmakers . On a minutes restriction, Embiid had some unexpected help from popular backup Boban Marjanovic. He scored 14 points in the first half and let the Sixers find a comfort level on offence with Embiid out for long stretches.
