Tar Heels in NBA: Harrison Barnes, Cam Johnson both score 17 in frustrating losses

Posted Apr 21, 2023
It was a rough night for Harrison Barnes and Cameron Johnson as they both scored 17 but their teams lost Game 3s in their first-round series Thursday. It was particularly frustrating for Johnson, whose Brooklyn Nets made a game of it but missed chances to win or tie at the end as Philadelphia took a 3-0 series lead with a 102-97 win in Brooklyn.
