Through 3 Quarters

The point spread is against the Brooklyn Nets, but thus far the points are on their side. Three quarters in and their offense has really been able to impose its will, dominating the Philadelphia 76ers 102-70 three quarters in.

Brooklyn has been relying on power forward Kevin Durant, who has posted a double-double on 25 points and 14 boards in addition to seven dimes, and shooting guard Seth Curry, who has 24 points along with four steals. One thing to keep an eye out for is Bruce Brown’s foul situation as he currently sits at four.

Philadelphia has been relying on the performance of center Joel Embiid, who has dropped a double-double on 27 points and 12 rebounds. This makes it three consecutive games in which Embiid has had at least 12 rebounds. Embiid has also picked up four fouls.

The Nets’ lead is the biggest they have had this year going into the fourth quarter.
