WEBVTT - The BroadCast: 1/21/2019 ~ Rewind vs. Rockets

0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:04.000
<v Speaker 1>This is seventy Sixers. Rewind time now to listen back

0:00:04.040 --> 0:00:09.399
<v Speaker 1>to postgame reaction from the team's most recent game. Houston

0:00:09.480 --> 0:00:12.560
<v Speaker 1>Rockets may very well have had James Harden, the rating

0:00:12.680 --> 0:00:16.480
<v Speaker 1>MVP leading scorer in the NBA. Seventy Sixers had an

0:00:16.480 --> 0:00:21.480
<v Speaker 1>all around unstoppable force tonight, and his name is Joel Embiid.

0:00:21.600 --> 0:00:23.840
<v Speaker 1>All he needed was twenty six and a half minutes

0:00:23.840 --> 0:00:27.040
<v Speaker 1>to go for thirty two points, fourteen rebounds, to assist,

0:00:27.080 --> 0:00:29.920
<v Speaker 1>two steals, three block shots in a plus twenty one

0:00:30.040 --> 0:00:34.360
<v Speaker 1>rating as the seventy Sixers roll past Houston one twenty

0:00:34.360 --> 0:00:37.120
<v Speaker 1>one to ninety three. I'm Brian Seltz from Sixers dot Com.

0:00:37.320 --> 0:00:39.280
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna hear from Tom McGinnis in a moment. We

0:00:39.320 --> 0:00:41.960
<v Speaker 1>hope to hear from some of the players and participants

0:00:42.440 --> 0:00:45.479
<v Speaker 1>in tonight's game, none bigger than Joel Embiid. If you

0:00:45.520 --> 0:00:48.080
<v Speaker 1>caught a portion of Brett Brown's postgame press conference with

0:00:48.120 --> 0:00:50.879
<v Speaker 1>Tom a few minutes earlier saying nope when asked do

0:00:50.880 --> 0:00:54.360
<v Speaker 1>you think Joel gets enough love? Paraphrasing the question in

0:00:54.400 --> 0:00:58.520
<v Speaker 1>the MVP conversation, and Brett swiftly said nope, and tonight

0:00:58.640 --> 0:01:02.560
<v Speaker 1>was a great example of just how good the big

0:01:02.560 --> 0:01:05.160
<v Speaker 1>man is and how vital he is to this team.

0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:08.479
<v Speaker 1>There was no one on the Rockets who could stop him.

0:01:09.000 --> 0:01:12.240
<v Speaker 1>Sixers tried to establish him early. They went after the NA,

0:01:12.800 --> 0:01:15.280
<v Speaker 1>got him to foul trouble. James Harden had to help

0:01:15.319 --> 0:01:18.280
<v Speaker 1>a little bit. He dealt with foul Isshues tonight there

0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:20.320
<v Speaker 1>was no answer. The Rockets had to start James and

0:01:20.520 --> 0:01:24.360
<v Speaker 1>Is the third to begin the second half. PJ. Tucker

0:01:24.440 --> 0:01:27.800
<v Speaker 1>played a little bit down inside, couldn't handle Himbiid had

0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:30.479
<v Speaker 1>to go back to n NA. Still no match for Joel.

0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:33.800
<v Speaker 1>This was just one of those games where I mean, listen,

0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:37.640
<v Speaker 1>thirty two and fourteen is wholly impressive, There's no doubt

0:01:37.640 --> 0:01:40.080
<v Speaker 1>about it. But there have been other games where Joel

0:01:40.680 --> 0:01:43.680
<v Speaker 1>has put up larger numbers both in points and rebounding

0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:47.160
<v Speaker 1>in other areas, but not nearly the impact in presence

0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:49.840
<v Speaker 1>that he had in tonight's game. They just there was

0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:52.800
<v Speaker 1>no answer that Houston had for the seventy six Ers

0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:55.520
<v Speaker 1>big man Joel embid tonight. The other story is to

0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:58.400
<v Speaker 1>go on down the list, Corey Brewer getting the start

0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:01.720
<v Speaker 1>for Jimmy Butler are at with a wrist injury tonight

0:02:01.960 --> 0:02:04.400
<v Speaker 1>so Brett Brown went to Corey Brewer on a hunch

0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:07.200
<v Speaker 1>and believe it or not, hey, the head coach may

0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:10.280
<v Speaker 1>know a thing or two. Right. Brewer an excellent choice

0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:12.919
<v Speaker 1>to fill and he played thirty three minutes almost tonight

0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:16.160
<v Speaker 1>eleven points five or ten from the field plus seventeen

0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:19.799
<v Speaker 1>three rebounds, two blocks, two steals and assist. But more

0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:23.680
<v Speaker 1>than that, just a boatload of energy. He was fantastic

0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:29.160
<v Speaker 1>with his intangibles tonight, blocking shots, getting involved, mixing things

0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:33.280
<v Speaker 1>up with James Harden. He was phenomenal. Ben Simmons nine

0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:37.200
<v Speaker 1>point six rebounds, six assists, Landry sham At eighteen off

0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:39.440
<v Speaker 1>the bench. T J McConnell huge as well with a dozen.

0:02:39.639 --> 0:02:41.600
<v Speaker 1>Let's see if we can hear from Ben Simmons right now,

0:02:41.600 --> 0:02:44.960
<v Speaker 1>who I believe is at the postgame podium, and I

0:02:44.960 --> 0:02:48.079
<v Speaker 1>think he's one of those guys he's always talking, he's

0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:50.959
<v Speaker 1>always positive, and his energy level is always up there.

0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:53.200
<v Speaker 1>You know, from what I've seen so far, what'd you

0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:55.240
<v Speaker 1>see as the biggest factors to why you guys were

0:02:55.240 --> 0:03:01.040
<v Speaker 1>able to so easily hand think In terms of defense,

0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:02.960
<v Speaker 1>I think the way we are able to match up

0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:05.120
<v Speaker 1>on teams is different. We're able to switch a lot

0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:08.040
<v Speaker 1>of things. We have a lot of athleticism on the

0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:11.520
<v Speaker 1>floor at you know, most times down the floor. Um,

0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:14.640
<v Speaker 1>but I think just everyone was locked in and no

0:03:14.680 --> 0:03:17.400
<v Speaker 1>one really you know, got side checked into how many

0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:21.240
<v Speaker 1>points James had. Um shout out to a mirror. But

0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:24.040
<v Speaker 1>it was never about you know how many you know,

0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:25.720
<v Speaker 1>you know he's gonna get his points and have a

0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:28.200
<v Speaker 1>lot of points of whatever it is. M Man of

0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:29.720
<v Speaker 1>the days. You know how you how you defend the

0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:37.640
<v Speaker 1>whole team. And that's it. From Ben Simmons talking about

0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:40.360
<v Speaker 1>the defense the seventy Sixers provided tonight, holding Houston to

0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:43.720
<v Speaker 1>thirty six percent shooting eleven to forty two. That's only

0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:46.440
<v Speaker 1>twenty six percent from outside the arc, dominating the Rockets

0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:50.480
<v Speaker 1>on the glass to finish plus seventeen ninety three. The

0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:53.040
<v Speaker 1>final scores seventy sixers with their biggest margin of victory

0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:57.120
<v Speaker 1>over the Rockets since nineteen eighty three. Good stuff by

0:03:57.120 --> 0:03:59.840
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers tonight. Great stuff from Tom McGinnis, who at

0:03:59.880 --> 0:04:01.760
<v Speaker 1>the hall of this one this evening. Well, why don't

0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:04.840
<v Speaker 1>we pick up Tom with I was gonna say defense,

0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:07.440
<v Speaker 1>we'll get to that. We'll go more with this, you know, Houston.

0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:09.960
<v Speaker 1>They had James Harden, but the seventy Sixers had I think,

0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:13.360
<v Speaker 1>without question, the more unstoppable force in tonight's game, and

0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:15.680
<v Speaker 1>that was Joel Embi. There was just no answer for

0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:18.320
<v Speaker 1>him from Houston, right and they're they're hurting a little

0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:21.240
<v Speaker 1>bit in that area without Compella, so they start the

0:04:21.320 --> 0:04:24.159
<v Speaker 1>veteran Nanay he was in his seventheen season. He tried

0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:27.360
<v Speaker 1>to be active with his feet and with his hands

0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:29.520
<v Speaker 1>and stay in front of Joelle, but in the end

0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:31.479
<v Speaker 1>he was really no match. He picked up some early files.

0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:33.880
<v Speaker 1>He really only played eight minutes in the game. And

0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:36.040
<v Speaker 1>then they come off the bench with Kenneth Freed, who

0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:39.200
<v Speaker 1>was very similar albeit a little smaller than the Nay,

0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:41.280
<v Speaker 1>and again Joel was able to get the line and

0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:43.800
<v Speaker 1>get into the act quite easily, and he ended up

0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:46.640
<v Speaker 1>with thirty two points for the Sixers and really a

0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:51.120
<v Speaker 1>solid dominant performance with steals and blocks and just putting

0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:54.839
<v Speaker 1>his thumprit on the game. But when you talk of defense,

0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:57.560
<v Speaker 1>like my favorite slice of this game, and there was,

0:04:57.600 --> 0:05:01.800
<v Speaker 1>like I said, some volatile plays, some energetic plays with

0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:05.080
<v Speaker 1>Ebid and hardened, and that was really exciting. But there

0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:07.679
<v Speaker 1>was a point and very very early in the game

0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:11.240
<v Speaker 1>where and Hardened, obviously with a lot of ISOs, has

0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:14.080
<v Speaker 1>possession of the ball quite a bit long time, ten

0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:17.200
<v Speaker 1>to twelve seconds sometimes, and he was paired with Ben

0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:20.039
<v Speaker 1>Simmons and it was to our right, and the crowd

0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:22.720
<v Speaker 1>just sensed it. And you know, there were so many

0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:25.640
<v Speaker 1>There was hundreds of people here early shooting pictures of

0:05:25.680 --> 0:05:27.320
<v Speaker 1>Harden as he warmed up. So they know one of

0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:30.000
<v Speaker 1>the best players, the top scorer, the reigning MVP, is

0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:32.840
<v Speaker 1>in Philadelphia. And you know that's the great thing about

0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:36.160
<v Speaker 1>our fans. They're so knowledgeable. But in that moment, they

0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:39.680
<v Speaker 1>roses one and they're like, this is delicious in terms

0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:42.680
<v Speaker 1>of Simmons and Hardened, and I think Ben got to stop.

0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:46.520
<v Speaker 1>But then Jonah Bolden got three blocks on Hardened, five

0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:49.520
<v Speaker 1>total by the Sixers in the first half against them.

0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:52.200
<v Speaker 1>And then lastly, you know, tidy En up with the

0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:55.040
<v Speaker 1>defense and as you mentioned, the energy Corey Brewer. You

0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:58.040
<v Speaker 1>know everyone's been talking about, you know, who are these guys,

0:05:58.040 --> 0:05:59.880
<v Speaker 1>what are the Sixers? Who are they going to get? Well,

0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:02.680
<v Speaker 1>guess what one of them might be? Corey Brewer? Is

0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:04.599
<v Speaker 1>he this year's Bell? And Ellie, I don't know they're

0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:08.120
<v Speaker 1>different players, but he certainly brings some things to the

0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:10.120
<v Speaker 1>table for the Sixers. In again, he's right in the

0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:12.680
<v Speaker 1>midst of his first ten day contract, so we don't

0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:14.800
<v Speaker 1>want to get too far ahead of ourselves. But that

0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:17.640
<v Speaker 1>ability to make a shot, that ability to guard somebody's

0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:19.760
<v Speaker 1>going to fit in the locker room with veteran experience

0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:23.320
<v Speaker 1>and toughness. That was all on display here tonight. And

0:06:23.360 --> 0:06:25.840
<v Speaker 1>as coach Brown said, you know, well deserved for him

0:06:25.880 --> 0:06:27.719
<v Speaker 1>to get ice down and to get rested because he

0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:30.480
<v Speaker 1>was flying around. His timing wasn't quite there, but the

0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:33.640
<v Speaker 1>heart was there, the fight was there, and he really

0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:37.920
<v Speaker 1>put on a very tough, fun energetic performance tonight for

0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:40.640
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers. Seventy six Ers beat the Rockets one twenty

0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:43.359
<v Speaker 1>one to ninety three. They improved to thirty one and

0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:46.200
<v Speaker 1>seventeen on the season. Let's go back to last week's

0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:51.080
<v Speaker 1>game against the Minnesota Timberwolf Sixers three and one. Over

0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:52.680
<v Speaker 1>the course of the four games that have followed, and

0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:55.760
<v Speaker 1>I think Tom the defense has really taken a step

0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:57.400
<v Speaker 1>forward during the stretch. I don't know how you feel

0:06:57.440 --> 0:06:59.279
<v Speaker 1>that well, no doubt about it. And you know the

0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:02.119
<v Speaker 1>success of an NBA defense, or really at any level,

0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:05.279
<v Speaker 1>is the communication and the ability to help one another,

0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:08.800
<v Speaker 1>to be able to have schemes and stay with them.

0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:10.920
<v Speaker 1>And again, the Sixers with their length and their ability

0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:13.200
<v Speaker 1>to switch, as Ben was saying, that they give a

0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:16.800
<v Speaker 1>different look. They give teams different presentations that they don't

0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:19.720
<v Speaker 1>often see. You've got little things like we just talked

0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:23.119
<v Speaker 1>about with Corey Brewer or Jonah Bolden coming into the game.

0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:26.280
<v Speaker 1>And the biggest thing is obviously Joel and they missed

0:07:26.320 --> 0:07:29.560
<v Speaker 1>Jimmy tonight. But Butler is a guy who can really Again,

0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:31.600
<v Speaker 1>it's not like back in the day where you could

0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:34.240
<v Speaker 1>just put a player out on the wing and he's

0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:35.920
<v Speaker 1>gonna be able to shut that guy down. It's just

0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:38.680
<v Speaker 1>that's not how the game is officiated anymore. And the

0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:41.520
<v Speaker 1>floor is spread out. It's just different than it was

0:07:41.560 --> 0:07:43.080
<v Speaker 1>back in the day when you could put a Pippin

0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:45.960
<v Speaker 1>or a Peyton or a Rodman or one of these

0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:49.240
<v Speaker 1>legendary defensive players out there and just lock somebody up,

0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:52.840
<v Speaker 1>or a Michael Jordan. But today it's so incumbent upon

0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:56.600
<v Speaker 1>being connected, being tied together defensively, and a Sixers. The

0:07:56.640 --> 0:07:59.120
<v Speaker 1>Sixers are, they're rounding in the form here is we've

0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:02.239
<v Speaker 1>passed the halfway point and they're getting better and better,

0:08:02.480 --> 0:08:04.200
<v Speaker 1>and their metrics show it at that end of the

0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:07.240
<v Speaker 1>floor as well. Sixers beat the Rockets one twenty one

0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:10.280
<v Speaker 1>to ninety three. Going back to that anyone butt theory

0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:12.880
<v Speaker 1>that Brett Brown has, I mean, James Harden, he did

0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:15.520
<v Speaker 1>what he did. But after that, you know, there was

0:08:15.840 --> 0:08:18.080
<v Speaker 1>up until garbage time in the fourth quarter, no one

0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:20.480
<v Speaker 1>else that really hurt the Sixers, no doubt about it.

0:08:20.560 --> 0:08:24.080
<v Speaker 1>And again Gordon and Tucker and Austin Rivers he had

0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:26.720
<v Speaker 1>an offer. Those are some of the guys that you'd

0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:29.840
<v Speaker 1>like to see for them and traditionally have And again

0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:33.520
<v Speaker 1>they're missing two of their best players in Paul and Capella.

0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:35.760
<v Speaker 1>And honestly, I don't want to think anyway from the

0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:38.680
<v Speaker 1>Sixers because they dominated this game. But the Rockets were

0:08:38.720 --> 0:08:40.720
<v Speaker 1>a little flat tonight. They had that overtime game, they

0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:43.560
<v Speaker 1>actually played later and then traveled here from Texas. They

0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:45.880
<v Speaker 1>had a busy week last week, and it'll be hey

0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:48.160
<v Speaker 1>when the Sixers. Part of what I was thinking, as

0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:51.160
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers were dominating hard and his Sixers have to

0:08:51.200 --> 0:08:53.280
<v Speaker 1>go back down there and it might be a whole

0:08:53.320 --> 0:08:56.920
<v Speaker 1>different ballgame with James Harden, but tonight was a resounding

0:08:57.120 --> 0:09:00.920
<v Speaker 1>thorough victory. Just dominated the Rockets early on. It was close,

0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:03.200
<v Speaker 1>but after that the Sixers totally took him over and

0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:05.839
<v Speaker 1>to win and outscore them by third or holding to

0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:09.160
<v Speaker 1>thirteen and dominate the third twenty nine to thirteen. That

0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:10.880
<v Speaker 1>that really blew the game out of the water after

0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:14.120
<v Speaker 1>leading by fifteen. Great win for the Sixers. Again, didn't

0:09:14.160 --> 0:09:17.319
<v Speaker 1>see it coming. And yet another tough Western Conference game

0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:20.320
<v Speaker 1>here on Wednesday with the Spurs. Another loss from earlier

0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:22.880
<v Speaker 1>the season. Two avenge in that one, but the seventy

0:09:22.880 --> 0:09:25.120
<v Speaker 1>Sixers get buck on track tonight after that tough one

0:09:25.120 --> 0:09:28.520
<v Speaker 1>on Saturday, Tom speak with you on Wednesday, all right,

0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:43.160
<v Speaker 1>Seventy Sixers playing the second game of a three game

0:10:43.200 --> 0:10:46.120
<v Speaker 1>homestand before a long trip back out west. The mission

0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:48.760
<v Speaker 1>tonight was to bounce back from a tough, stinging loss

0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:52.720
<v Speaker 1>to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday. On Brian Seltz

0:10:52.720 --> 0:10:56.120
<v Speaker 1>from Sixers dot Com, let us get two highlights from

0:10:56.120 --> 0:10:59.160
<v Speaker 1>this evening's entertaining game between the Sixers and the Rockets.

0:10:59.559 --> 0:11:04.240
<v Speaker 1>No Butler, Yes, Corey Brewer making an impact early on.

0:11:04.600 --> 0:11:07.120
<v Speaker 1>Brewer driving on hard and spins around him and puts

0:11:07.120 --> 0:11:09.560
<v Speaker 1>it him in and take that bearded one. Nice play

0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:13.640
<v Speaker 1>by Corey Brewer and the Sixers lead by two. Cooking

0:11:13.720 --> 0:11:16.760
<v Speaker 1>up something look good early on. Sixty six to four

0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:19.320
<v Speaker 1>was the score at that point for Corey Brewer. He

0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:21.760
<v Speaker 1>in The seventy Sixers would have a high energy approach

0:11:21.800 --> 0:11:24.920
<v Speaker 1>throughout the first quarter, as exhibited by one Joel and

0:11:25.000 --> 0:11:27.839
<v Speaker 1>beat as well. It'd be with it against Kenneth Fari

0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:31.000
<v Speaker 1>makes a move, Joel knocks him down, he ducks underneath

0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:33.280
<v Speaker 1>one man and a foul that's gonna be on Hardened.

0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:35.040
<v Speaker 1>It would be that very well could have been an

0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:39.120
<v Speaker 1>offensive foul. Farreed came over to take the contact part

0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:41.080
<v Speaker 1>of a stretch in which Joel and Being closed out

0:11:41.080 --> 0:11:44.080
<v Speaker 1>the first quarter by scoring the seventy sixers final ten

0:11:44.120 --> 0:11:46.840
<v Speaker 1>points to put the Sixers in front thirty to twenty six,

0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:49.640
<v Speaker 1>and really they would not look back from there. Ben

0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:53.640
<v Speaker 1>Simmons helping push the margin into double figures territory. James Harden,

0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:55.559
<v Speaker 1>leaning over the right hand, drew back crosses him over

0:11:55.720 --> 0:11:57.319
<v Speaker 1>in the lane, tries to draw the foul, does not

0:11:57.480 --> 0:11:59.600
<v Speaker 1>and then missed the shot. Got it back. He's blocked

0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:03.439
<v Speaker 1>by Olden for the third time. Ben Simmons in the lake,

0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:07.440
<v Speaker 1>right by Garden. Laugh good head. Ben Simmons runs right

0:12:07.600 --> 0:12:11.359
<v Speaker 1>over the rockets. Oh man, what a play by Simmons.

0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:15.000
<v Speaker 1>That sequence exemplary of the great two way after the

0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:18.040
<v Speaker 1>seventy Sixers gave throughout the night. And yeah, Jonah Bolden,

0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:21.160
<v Speaker 1>his length came up big and this one Simmons getting

0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:23.600
<v Speaker 1>the end one, making it forty five to thirty four

0:12:23.600 --> 0:12:26.839
<v Speaker 1>and helping put the seventy Sixers in the driver's seat

0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:29.560
<v Speaker 1>before the first half came to a close. One more

0:12:29.640 --> 0:12:33.120
<v Speaker 1>quality cuts from Corey Brewer. They go right to Harden

0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:36.679
<v Speaker 1>against Corey Brewer, jab steps step back, three long No,

0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:40.920
<v Speaker 1>Simmons tips and Simmons fasten ahead and Brewers getting a slaugh.

0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:45.840
<v Speaker 1>Corey Brewer gets the last laugh, puts it in two

0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:49.880
<v Speaker 1>hand jab Well. The real last laugh went to Joel Embiid,

0:12:49.920 --> 0:12:53.280
<v Speaker 1>who's stuffed James Harden on a chase down block. Arguably

0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:56.079
<v Speaker 1>one of the highlights, if not the highlight, of tonight's game.

0:12:56.160 --> 0:12:59.439
<v Speaker 1>Sixers in front at intermission sixty five to fifty. The

0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:01.720
<v Speaker 1>lead Woods swell as the Sixers went on a fourteen

0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:04.640
<v Speaker 1>to two run to open up the third quarter. Sixers

0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:08.160
<v Speaker 1>go to Brewer. Brewer drives on hard hard ol Baby

0:13:08.440 --> 0:13:10.760
<v Speaker 1>had a back off. He didn't want a fifth fouth

0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:14.520
<v Speaker 1>and his old teammate, Corey Brewer cruises in with the

0:13:14.600 --> 0:13:19.760
<v Speaker 1>lay up. Seventy seven fifty two. Sixers kept putting it on.

0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:22.400
<v Speaker 1>Landry Shammon had a really nice night. He was scoring

0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:26.560
<v Speaker 1>both outside and in very versatile but here Shammont for three,

0:13:26.920 --> 0:13:30.160
<v Speaker 1>rising with the pass and Landry Shammon with his second

0:13:30.200 --> 0:13:33.240
<v Speaker 1>tray in the game, McConnell with a dish, Shammont with

0:13:33.360 --> 0:13:38.160
<v Speaker 1>eleven Sixers by twenty five. Again, eighty five to sixty

0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:40.600
<v Speaker 1>was the score. Sixers let at ninety four to sixty

0:13:40.640 --> 0:13:43.440
<v Speaker 1>three at the break. It was the largest deficit of

0:13:43.440 --> 0:13:46.040
<v Speaker 1>the season that Houston has faced after three quarters in

0:13:46.080 --> 0:13:49.960
<v Speaker 1>the seventy sixers largest lead after three fourth quarters. Started

0:13:49.960 --> 0:13:51.760
<v Speaker 1>with a Joel and beat highlight and then he would

0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:55.000
<v Speaker 1>sit pretty much after that. T J. McConnell to Joe,

0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:58.520
<v Speaker 1>Joe fakes drives it, throws up an off balance shot.

0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:01.760
<v Speaker 1>Oh Man, he threw it up backward and then tapped

0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:05.199
<v Speaker 1>in his own miss. That's incredible to see a man

0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:07.720
<v Speaker 1>of that size pull that off. It was like he

0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:10.200
<v Speaker 1>was shooting on a nerf hoop. It b now with

0:14:10.559 --> 0:14:14.079
<v Speaker 1>thirty two and emblematic of the fact that Houston had

0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:17.160
<v Speaker 1>no one there to even come close to stopping or

0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:21.600
<v Speaker 1>slowing down joelmbiad final tonight three Sixers win it. They

0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:24.000
<v Speaker 1>shot just under forty nine percent from the field, held

0:14:24.080 --> 0:14:27.320
<v Speaker 1>Houston to thirty six. Houston shoots more threes than any

0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:29.520
<v Speaker 1>team in the league. They took forty two attempts outside

0:14:29.560 --> 0:14:33.520
<v Speaker 1>the ark tonight, only making eleven, barely over twenty five percent.

0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:35.520
<v Speaker 1>Sixers didn't have a ton of threes. They didn't need

0:14:35.560 --> 0:14:37.960
<v Speaker 1>to rely on it eight three pointers, but they outscored

0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:40.680
<v Speaker 1>Houston fifty six to thirty eight in the paint, and

0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:43.400
<v Speaker 1>they were plus seven from the free throw line on

0:14:43.560 --> 0:14:47.240
<v Speaker 1>seven more attempts. Sixers dominated the glass. They were plus

0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:50.920
<v Speaker 1>seventeen in that area, only thirteen turnovers. That was a

0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:53.640
<v Speaker 1>good step in the right direction for the Sixers as well.

0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:56.160
<v Speaker 1>James Harden had the high scoring total in the game

0:14:56.200 --> 0:14:58.400
<v Speaker 1>with thirty seven, twelve of twenty six from the field,

0:14:58.680 --> 0:15:00.880
<v Speaker 1>six or thirteen outside the Ark only got to the

0:15:00.920 --> 0:15:05.280
<v Speaker 1>line eight times, also six rebounds, three assists, two block shots,

0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:08.560
<v Speaker 1>but six turnovers. The seventy sixers a buy committee approach

0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:10.320
<v Speaker 1>with him, but we saw a lot of Corey Brewer

0:15:10.360 --> 0:15:12.840
<v Speaker 1>on him. Also. Wilson Chandler picked him up. T J

0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:16.080
<v Speaker 1>McConnell of course, Ben Simmons with some spot duty as

0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:20.120
<v Speaker 1>well a group effort, but again for James Harden, they

0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:23.360
<v Speaker 1>kept him to his average at thirty seven points. Joel

0:15:23.400 --> 0:15:26.080
<v Speaker 1>Embiid plus twenty one in the game thirty two points,

0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:29.640
<v Speaker 1>fourteen rebounds, three blocks, shots eighteen Philandry Sham at twelve

0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:32.400
<v Speaker 1>for t J. McConnell. McConnell was another big energy guy

0:15:32.440 --> 0:15:35.360
<v Speaker 1>presence for the Sixers tonight, Corey Brewer with eleven points,

0:15:35.360 --> 0:15:37.800
<v Speaker 1>five of ten from the field. He also had three

0:15:37.840 --> 0:15:40.600
<v Speaker 1>rebounds and assists, two steals and two block shots plus

0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:44.080
<v Speaker 1>seventeen six for JJ Reddick Wilson Chandler was perfect from

0:15:44.080 --> 0:15:48.320
<v Speaker 1>the floor four four one three pointer, fourteen rebounds, three assists,

0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:52.960
<v Speaker 1>nine points plus twenty overall. Ben Simmons nine points, six rebounds,

0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:55.760
<v Speaker 1>six assists, two blocks, but he you know, he was

0:15:56.240 --> 0:15:59.080
<v Speaker 1>not able to put up a high efficiency nine offensively,

0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:02.880
<v Speaker 1>but this was not needed from him. Tonight, seventy six

0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:05.040
<v Speaker 1>ers now thirty one and seventeen with win Rockets or

0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:08.000
<v Speaker 1>twenty six and twenty seventy sixers will look to cap

0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:10.960
<v Speaker 1>the homestand with two wins on Wednesday when they faced
