Nets fall in Philadelphia 96-84, now trail 0-2 in series

After a disappointing start to the postseason for the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday, Game 2 provided Nets fans with a bit more hope, but that was it.

Brooklyn controlled much of the first half and saw its always-double-Joel Embiid stratagem see a bit more success, but ultimately they failed to take advantage while they still had a chance. Despite hanging in until the final minutes, they fell, 96-84.

Cam Johnson led the Nets in scoring with 28 points, setting a playoff career-high in his second consecutive outing. He shot well from the field, connecting on 11 of his 19 total attempts, including five deep ones.
