Joel Embiid took a jab at the Brooklyn Nets after his Philadelphia 76ers’ 96-84 win in Game 2 of their Eastern Conference first-round playoff series on Monday night.
Embiid had 20 points, 19 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 blocks in his team’s victory at home to put the Sixers up 2-0 in the series. After the game, Embiid spoke with the media and was his usual cheeky self. One thing he made note of was how the Nets complained about calls after Saturday’s Game 1.
Nets coach Jacque Vaughn complained about the lack of traveling and three-second violations he felt Embiid committed in Game 1.
Embiid returned fire on Monday. He zinged the Nets for begging for calls after Game 1 and calling out referees.
