Joel Embiid, Sixers react to James Harden’s ejection in Game 3 vs. Nets

Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers react to James Harden’s ejection in their Game 3 win over the Brooklyn Nets.

NEW YORK — The Philadelphia 76ers took a 3-0 stranglehold in their first-round series with the Brooklyn Nets on Thursday by winning Game 3, 102-97. They won despite chaos on both sides and the Sixers losing their star guard.

James Harden was ejected in the third quarter after being called for a flagrant two foul. He appeared to hit Nets forward Royce O’Neale in the midsection causing him to fall over, but Harden called out the officiating after the win saying it was an unacceptable call at that moment.

Now, it’s time for his teammates to react to the call, and they gave their thoughts on what they saw.
