The Philadelphia 76ers will try to take a 2-1 series lead and take back home court as they face the Brooklyn Nets on Thursday night at the Barclays Center.



Despite a record-setting performance in Game 2, forward Tobias Harris said the Sixers should not be happy winning only one game.



Harris believes the Sixers should be up 2-0.



"In my eyes, they stole one on our court," he said.



76ers coach Brett Brown has talked about this series being a fight. Elbows and verbal jabs have been thrown.



Nets forward Jared Dudley even took a shot at Sixers point guard Ben Simmons.



"Ben Simmons is a great player in transition, and once you get him into half-court he's average," said Dudley.



Simmons brushed off the remark.



"That's coming from Jared Dudley, come on," he said.



Meanwhile, Simmons joined some elite company with his second playoff triple-double:
