We continue our playoff rewind series with the Philadelphia 76ers by looking back at a pretty entertaining Round 1 series from 2019. The Sixers finished off the Brooklyn Nets in five games, but they were mostly competitive and the games were chippy.
This one focuses on Game 4 at the Barclays Center when tensions were high. Jimmy Butler got into a brawl with Jared Dudley and he was ejected early in the game. The Sixers then got huge games out of their star duo of Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons to put them in a position to win the game.
However, with the game on the line, the biggest shot of the night came from Mike Scott. With Philadelphia trailing by one, the Sixers got the ball into Embiid who fumbled and lost the ball before finding it again and kicking it out to Mike Scott in the corner who buried a triple to give the Sixers a 110-108 lead.
The shot propelled the Sixers to a 112-108 win and it allowed Philadelphia to take a 3-1 series lead. Scott only had eight points in the game, but that 3-pointer was absolutely huge for the team to win the game and the Sixers finished off the Nets at home in Game 5.
