Cameron Payne brought his usual energy and some timely offense for the Sixers in their Game 3 win Thursday night over the Knicks.
The defending champion Nuggets erased a 10-point first-quarter deficit to beat the Lakers 112-105 in Los Angeles. Aaron Gordon scored 29 points and grabbed 15 rebounds and two-time NBA Most Valuable Player Nikola Jokic added 24 points, another 15 boards and nine assists for the Nuggets, who took a 3-0 stranglehold on the best-of-seven Western Conference first-round series. No NBA team has rallied from an 0-3 deficit to win a best-of-seven playoff series. "We've got to figure out how to get one (win) on Saturday to stay alive," Lakers coach Darvin Ham said.
Joel Embiid dropped 50 points on Thursday night, but he easily could have drawn an ejection for this play early.
De'Anthony Melton, who has played just 11 games since late December, was available for Game 3 of the 76ers' first-round series with the New York Knicks Thursday night. Melton has been nursing a spine injury, four times re-entering the lineup only to go back on the shelf. Sixers coach Nick Nurse was somewhat circumspect about what the six-year veteran, who averaged 11.1 points per game in 38 outings this year, might supply. The bar to constitute improvement for the second unit is low, though.
No injuries were reported in the two-car crash.

Now they head to Philadelphia up 2-0 before Game 3 tonight (7:30 p.m.).

Melton all but said he wouldn't declare himself ready if he wasn't able to contribute. “Once that last time I went down, obviously doubt creeps into your mind,” Melton said.
