Tyrese Maxey scored 25, James Harden was ejected, and the 76ers pushed Brooklyn to the brink of elimination with a 102-97 win.
Upon review, the officials assessed Claxton a technical foul and Embiid a Flagrant 1 foul.
“He said something he shouldn’t have,” Embiid said that night. “That’s why, when I walked up to his face, I told him to say it to my face again. That’s why he looked away and he didn’t say it again, because … he knows why. There’s not a lot of times where I get in those situations, but I’m not going to allow any sort of disrespect. That’s why he couldn’t say it to my face again.”
Harden also scored 12 points before intermission and used his left-to-right crossover to create space several times when Claxton switched on to him. He moved gingerly and grimaced for a few possessions after an apparent knee-to-knee collision with Bridges in the second quarter, but Harden stayed in the game.
That didn’t last for long. Propelled by Bridges, the Nets immediately went on a 14-0 run to retake the lead. Bridges did it all during that spurt — a tough corner three, a put-back dunk, a runner after blowing by Harden, and a fast-break slam following a Harris giveaway. The Sixers strung together a few sloppy possessions in the half court to help the Nets keep building momentum.
