NEW DELHI: The Philadelphia 76ers moved one win away from a sweep of their NBA first-round playoff series as they beat Brooklyn Nets 102-97 on Thursday in a rugged clash that featured two ejections and a controversial kick from Joel Embiid.
The 76ers were down by five with 2:15 remaining at Brooklyn's Barclays Center but surged home to take a 3-0 lead in the best-of-seven Eastern Conference clash, the Nets well aware that no NBA team has come back from 3-0 down to win a series.
