Nick Nurse on 76ers facing elimination, talking points in film session

CAMDEN, N. J. -- As the Philadelphia 76ers prepare to stave off elimination and begin the climb from an 0-3 deficit against the New York Knicks with Game 4 set for Sunday afternoon, coach Nick Nurse and his team convened on Saturday at the team's training facility for a film session.

Nurse has seen a ton of elimination games in his career as coach of both the Sixers and the Toronto Raptors . He knows what has to be done in these situations as he did just guide Philadelphia from a 3-1 deficit to defeat the Boston Celtics in Round 1. "I always just try to treat it like one game, and can we play better or not, right?

" said Nurse. "Like, can we play better or not? You can't really listen to 3-1, 3-0, 3-2, you can't really listen to any of that, and let that form any type of whatever around your on your back.

Can't carry that around. You got to really just zero in on, can we play better? And that's what I'm challenging the guys with today.
