Philadelphia: With the Series tied at 1-1, the series headed to Wells Fargo Center for Game 3 on Thursday night. Now can Philly take advantage of the home court for games 3 and 4.
Below are my takeaways from Sixers 116-95 win in Game 3
Joel Embiid had it going:
After hitting the big shot to get the Game 2 win, Joel Embiid would put on one hell of a performance in game 3 which included 5 blocks
Embiid would bring the house down with this windmill dunk

Jimmy Butler performance:
After taking over in Game 2, Jimmy Butler would keep it going in Game 3 as he would be 1 assist & Rebound from getting his first playoff triple double
Toronto Playing Dirty:

Now the question is will the NBA delivery any disciplinary actions??
