PHILADELPHIA — Cam Johnson had already imposed his will on the night when he saw a direct path to the basket where Joel Embiid was waiting ominously for him in the last minute of the first half.
Johnson had scored 22 of the Nets’ 49 first-half points and had the boo birds venting on the Sixers while delivering the kind of emphatic Game 2 statement an underdog team on the road looking to take the series back to Brooklyn deadlocked desperately needed to make., looked ripe for the taking. Embiid wasn’t scoring. James Harden wasn’t scoring . Only Tyrese Maxey was scoring.Getty ImagesYou step on their throats when their throats are gasping for air.
Vaughn’s smallball tactics were cutting the Sixers down to sighs. Until the Sixers came out of the locker room with a raging fire and began extinguishing the hope. Tobias Harris buried a corner 3-pointer and in the blink of an eye it was Sixers 64, Nets 56 and Bridges was visibly upset with someone, or something, probably both. Johnson drilled a right corner 3-pointer to stop the bleeding. It was his only basket of the third quarter, and he appeared fatigued at the end of it.
