Nets at 76ers game preview: How to watch, TV channel, start time

Eric Hartline-USA TODAY Sports

The Brooklyn Nets visit Wells Fargo Center on Monday to face the Philadelphia 76ers in Game 2 of their first-round series and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place!

In Game 1, it was clear that Brooklyn wanted to make someone other than 76ers center Joel Embiid beat them. The Nets sent double-teams Embiid’s way whenever he touched the ball, but Philadelphia was able to find a way to beat that strategy and find other players to take advantage of the doubling. That led to the 76ers making a franchise playoff-record 21 three-pointers with 76ers guard James Harden making seven of them. Philadelphia won 121-101.

After the disappointing loss, most of the Nets players pointed out that the team has to be better rebounding the basketball, which has been an issue for them all season, and defending the three-point line. While Nets head coach Jacque Vaughn agreed with those sentiments, he also wanted the officials to look out for things in Game 2 that he felt they missed in Game 1 such as Embiid traveling with the ball or spending too much time in the paint without getting called for three seconds.

Here’s when and where you can tune in to see the matchup:
