The first game of the series was an easy UNDER as Brooklyn won 111-102, but then the 76ers exploded for 51 points in the third quarter on Monday and Game 2 soared OVER. Don't expect that to happen again and look for the Nets to clamp down defensively after Philadelphia shot 56.1 percent in Game 2. The UNDER is 7-3-1 the last 11 meetings at Brooklyn and the Nets have stayed UNDER six of their last seven home games. Philly has stayed UNDER eight of its last 10 conference quarterfinal games. The Nets still have the advantage in team depth and can bear down defensively for the full 48 minutes and not let the Sixers run wild as they did on Monday. Look for a lower-scoring contest, so take the UNDER.
