PHILADELPHIA — Joel Embiid says his Sixers’ first-round playoff series is already won, the Nets already done and dusted.
It’s the Nets’ job to prove him wrong.
And they’ll have to win Game 5 in a frenzied Wells Fargo Center to do it. That likely means surviving Embiid, probable for Tuesday’s elimination game.
“It is what it is. They’re up 3-1. It’s our job to make them uncomfortable. They’re comfortable right now: It’s our job to disrupt that,” Caris LeVert said, when told of Embiid’s proclamation.
“[We expect] a playoff environment, the same type of environment we got the last couple of games.
