James Harden added 17 points, 11 assists and eight rebounds for the third-seeded 76ers, who will wait for the winner of the series between the Boston Celtics and Atlanta Hawks. The defending Eastern Conference champion Celtics have a 2-1 lead.
The Sixers turned to their defence without him and ended up outscoring the Nets 21-4 during a stretch of more than eight minutes in the third quarter. Embiid went to the locker room early in Game 3 and was limping a couple times later in the game, but had a blocked shot to preserve a two-point lead with 8.8 seconds left and said afterward he was OK. But coach Doc Rivers said Embiid was complaining of soreness behind his knee and already had swelling shortly after the game. An MRI exam revealed the sprain.
"I told them they should feel extremely proud when they walk around the borough of Brooklyn," coach Jacque Vaughn said. "The way that we competed, we didn't make excuses this year. We figured out how to stay together. That locker room was together even until the end of the game."
