The Philadelphia 76ers earned an impressive 96-84 victory over the Brooklyn Nets on Monday night in Game 2 of their first-round playoff match-up.
Tyrese Maxey obviously stole the show with his team-high 33 points, but Joel Embiid was also his characteristically reliable self with 20 points, 19 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 blocks.
Tobias Harris chipped in 20 points and 12 rebounds as well.
The Sixers’ players weren’t the only ones who impressed on Monday night. Their cheerleaders also left quite the impression. One in particular, Jackie, went mega-viral over her wild photos shortly after the outing concluded.

If Jackie’s name sounds familiar, it’s because it probably is. She is the same cheerleader who was proposed to and blew up online over it earlier in the season.
Clearly her 15 minutes of fame haven’t ended just yet.
This has been a big postseason for NBA cheerleaders. Between the Sacramento Kings dancer whose provocative photos set the internet ablaze and the Lakers Girl whose wild pictures blew up online, it has been one thing after another.
This most recent incident is just par for the course.
Big picture, cheerleaders aside, it will be interesting to see if the Nets will be able to win even one game in this series.
Philly is so superior to them in every aspect of the game that it is beginning to look like this one will be a clean sweep.
It wasn’t all bad news for the Bucks this weekend. https://t.co/ftMZnSFFTW

It’s also worth remembering that Brooklyn is where it is in this playoff run largely because of the contributions of players who left right around the NBA Trade Deadline.
If this current roster had been in place for the entirety of the year, they may not have even made the playoffs.
One way or another, the 76ers will win this series. How far will they be able to get after that? An answer one way or the other will emerge over the next few weeks.
