PHILADELPHIA — Doc Rivers called a timeout 61 seconds into Monday’s third quarter, after a Spencer Dinwiddie bucket put the Brooklyn Nets up by seven points on the 76ers.
Then, the Sixers’ avalanche began.
Three-pointers by Tyrese Maxey (twice), Tobias Harris and James Harden. A game-tying driving finish by Joel Embiid. Two dunks and a putback by Harris. And one timeout by the Nets, with the Sixers egging on a suddenly roaring crowd celebrating their team now with an eight-point advantage.
