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:
