NEW YORK, April 19 (Xinhua) -- Ben Simmons scored 31 points, a career playoff-high, Tobias Harris added 29 points and 16 rebounds in Philadelphia 76ers' 131-115 victory and 2-1 series lead over Brooklyn Nets.
Without their All-Star Joel Embiid in the middle, the 76ers relied on Simmons slashing to the basket, and Harris and JJ Redick shooting from the perimeter.
Simmons was 11 for 13 from the field. Harris had his playoff highs in both points and rebounds, and was 6 for 6 from 3-point range. Redick was 5 of 9 behind the arc and finished with 26 points.
D'Angelo Russell and Caris LeVert each scored 26 points for the Nets. They have dropped the last two games after surprising the No. 3 seed in the opener in Philadelphia.
