I wonder does Nick nurse go back to his original game plan with Jalen Brunson. The first two games Nick Nurse ran a 1-2-2 defense with Embiid as a floater (Shoutout to Lebron and JJ for the knowledge) and essentially dared the rest of the roster to beat him.
What happened was that the rest of the roster did beat him (Josh Hart was averaging 21/12, Hartenstein was going 7/8 on floaters, plus Deuce and Bogi got going). Nick nurse decides to pull back from that defense and then Jalen proceeds to average 43pts /11.5 assist over the next two games.
