The Philadelphia 76ers signed P.J. Tucker for games like Thursday night’s Game 3 between the Sixers and the Brooklyn Nets.
The Sixers stole a 102-97 victory in Thursday’s contest to take a 3-0 series lead over the hosting Nets. Tyrese Maxey was a star, dropping 10 points late in the fourth to bring the Sixers across the finish line. Sixers head coach Doc Rivers, however, credited someone else with the win — P.J. Tucker.
Postgame, Rivers wasn’t shy about the impact Tucker had on the scrappy contest, even if he only scored three points on 1-for-3 shooting.
