This is it. The Brooklyn Nets are down 0-3 to the Philadelphia 76ers in their first-round playoff matchup and if they lose on Saturday afternoon than their season is over.
It would not be an unexpected scenario since the Nets were pretty big underdogs heading into the series, but given that they had a real chance at winning Game 3 and find themselves in a Game 4 situation where the presumptive MVP, Joel Embiid is unavailable - well, it could have been a way different headline for today’s game preview.
Still, you have to go out and play it one game at a time.
