Speaker 1: You're listening to rewind, they'll listen back on press conferences,
Speaker 1: highlights and analysis from the seventy sixers previous game. Given
Speaker 1: the circumstances, thought it was a solid fight by the
Speaker 1: Philadelphia seventy Sixers that got off to a really auspicious
Speaker 1: start despite losing another one of their starters, Josh Richardson,
Speaker 1: four minutes into regulation, but just not enough against the
Speaker 1: Toronto Raptors on the road for the Sixers. They lose
Speaker 1: again at Scotia Bank Arena. I'm sure you don't need
Speaker 1: to be told that it's their fifteenth straight regular season
Speaker 1: lost there. But there's that number again, one oh seven
Speaker 1: ninety five the final score. I'm Brian Seltzer. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: was looking good for the seventy Sixers in the early going,
Speaker 1: even with the entrance injury to Josh Richardson. The Sixers
Speaker 1: knocked down seven of their fourteen three point attempts in
Speaker 1: Tonight's opening quarter that shot them out to a thirty
Speaker 1: five to twenty sixth lead. The thirty five points was
Speaker 1: the second highest total ever scored by the Sixers against
Speaker 1: Toronto in a road game, so that was really promising
Speaker 1: to see that the teams seemed to be clicking. Their
Speaker 1: defense was stout. A handful of players, led by Ben Simmons,
Speaker 1: seemed to be making life difficult for a Pascal Siakam
Speaker 1: in particular. But in the second quarter, Toronto was able
Speaker 1: to get in the paint more and more. They were
Speaker 1: able to drive downhill, they were able to get out
Speaker 1: on the fast break, and that changed the tone of
Speaker 1: the game. The seventy Sixers made just four baskets in
Speaker 1: the second period. Toronto had scored them twenty four fifteen.
Speaker 1: The score was tied at fifty going into the break.
Speaker 1: Sixers hey did their credit relying on the likes of
Speaker 1: Shake Milton for con Cork Maise, certainly more than they
Speaker 1: normally would in respect to Shake Milton. After Richardson went out,
Speaker 1: they hung around. They went back up by ten points,
Speaker 1: matching their largest lead from the second quarter in the third.
Speaker 1: But after that, when the Sixers led sixty six to
Speaker 1: fifty six, Marcasol had a tough basket. I believe it
Speaker 1: was his sixth made field will of the night six attempts.
Speaker 1: Then Norman Powell hit a three pointer and from there
Speaker 1: it was like Powell and Sergebaka really got this supercharged
Speaker 1: run put in motion for the Raptors. Between the end
Speaker 1: of the third quarter and the start of the fourth,
Speaker 1: Toronto went on a massive run at scoring the seventy
Speaker 1: six Ers twenty two to six to take control of
Speaker 1: the game. Sixers fought back within three with about four
Speaker 1: and a half minutes to go, but then were held
Speaker 1: scoreless for over three minutes. Toronto put together a ten
Speaker 1: nothing run and that was enough, led by Fred Van Fleet,
Speaker 1: to put the game away. Toronto wins this one one
Speaker 1: oh seven to ninety five to seventy Sixers do knock
Speaker 1: down eighteen three pointers, but as Brett Brown alluded to
Speaker 1: if you heard the portion of his postgame press conference,
Speaker 1: he felt like the looks were good enough for the
Speaker 1: seventy sixers should have shot better than fifty percent for
Speaker 1: the game. Sixers led by Tobias Harris, he had twenty
Speaker 1: two point seventeen apiece for Ben Simmons and fur Con
Speaker 1: Corkmas thirteen four Matisse Thybal, but Thibal got into early
Speaker 1: foul trouble. He finished with five personals in the game.
Speaker 1: His defense the start of the third quarter was outstanding
Speaker 1: and helped the seventy sixers rebuild their lead, but the
Speaker 1: Sixers a little bit too many turnovers from Simmons. He
Speaker 1: had eight of the Sixers thirteen and the Sixers just
Speaker 1: not able to contain the likes of really Sergibaka and
Speaker 1: Norman Powell. Plus you're throwing Marcus All a really nice
Speaker 1: game from ved Fred Van Late and Kyle Lowering the
Speaker 1: early going, and that was enough for the Toronto Raptors
Speaker 1: to pick up win. At number thirty on the season.
Speaker 1: They now are two games in front of the seventy
Speaker 1: sixers in the Atlantic Division and Eastern Conference standings. We'll
Speaker 1: turn things over to Tom mcguinnis right now, bring one
Speaker 1: back here the call tonight's game at Scotia Baker And
Speaker 1: it looked good Tom in the early going for the
Speaker 1: seventy sixers, but those two key players from Toronto's bench
Speaker 1: really helped turn the tide of the game. Now and
Speaker 1: they're good, you know what I mean. So they are
Speaker 1: totally seventyep Like Rende didn't play a whole lot, but
Speaker 1: that's all they needed tonight on Anobi barely played and
Speaker 1: like I said, down the stretch, Gassault didn't play. But
Speaker 1: again that that phrase, the confidence that the championship DNA.
Speaker 1: You can just see it oozing around their ball club.
Speaker 1: They were not going to be the third. You know.
Speaker 1: I made a point when the Sixers were up by
Speaker 1: eight in the third, it was about maybe four or
Speaker 1: five minutes gone by in that second half. They're gonna
Speaker 1: make a run. You could just you know what's happening.
Speaker 1: And the question is when and how long. Well it
Speaker 1: was right then, and it was eighteen to six, and
Speaker 1: it turned the tide and they made the threes. And
Speaker 1: I'm just very impressed with van Fleet and Powell. And
Speaker 1: again the point has been made in these other two
Speaker 1: games that the Sixers have played with the Raptors this year,
Speaker 1: but in the playoffs, those two guys were kept in check.
Speaker 1: I mean, they actually both struggled a little bit in
Speaker 1: their first round series against Orlando, and I think the
Speaker 1: size affected them. And then there are games you know
Speaker 1: they just they didn't shoot it well, but Ben and
Speaker 1: they turn it on against Milwaukee, especially Van Fleet against
Speaker 1: the Bucks in the conference finals. And they both were
Speaker 1: really good in the championship series, the NBA Finals against
Speaker 1: Golden States. So they're they're really good players and they're
Speaker 1: added and you know, I don't want to say auxiliary players,
Speaker 1: but you think of their stars and Siakaman and Lowry
Speaker 1: and Gasol's a five time All Star, and you know,
Speaker 1: then these young players have continued to get get good.
Speaker 1: And then from the Sixers side to your point, and
Speaker 1: I think Brett Brown was saying the same things. When
Speaker 1: you look out there and see who they played, they
Speaker 1: had a lot of young guys out there, and then
Speaker 1: you know the Sixers hunked up, but they just there's
Speaker 1: pockets of game stretches a game when you're when you're
Speaker 1: overmatched like you were in this game, if you're the
Speaker 1: six Ers, based on what I just said with who
Speaker 1: they had and the younger players at the Sixers had,
Speaker 1: who had great experience and gave it their best shot
Speaker 1: and had moments, but like I said, not enough to
Speaker 1: withstand the big flurry and the offensive surge that the
Speaker 1: Raptors put out there. Seventy six Ers out scored by
Speaker 1: the Rafters fifty two to eighteen in the paint. They
Speaker 1: were out rebounded by Toronto by eight overall in the game.
Speaker 1: Shake Milton tom logging twenty two minutes tonight. He went
Speaker 1: three for six from outside the arc for nine points.
Speaker 1: It was the second most minutes he's ever played in
Speaker 1: a game for the seventy six Ers. I think, all
Speaker 1: things consider, I mean, that's that's about as good as
Speaker 1: you can ask for from a guy who's thrown into
Speaker 1: the fray. And yes, building on what you just talked
Speaker 1: about and what Brett Brown reference as well, there might
Speaker 1: be an opportunity to see more from a guy who
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people going into this year
Speaker 1: were intrigued to see more of. And I agree, I
Speaker 1: think Shake's gonna be a good player with the six
Speaker 1: Ers going forward. I mean, obviously he can shoot, he's
Speaker 1: got size, he's got a level head, he's got a
Speaker 1: great comportment about him, and I think he can play.
Speaker 1: That's the bottom line. And I think you're right to
Speaker 1: get to maybe get some experience here in these next
Speaker 1: couple of weeks or whatever it is, certainly in the
Speaker 1: latter part of this season if it helps you in
Speaker 1: the playoffs, and well, obviously that's a huge bonus. But
Speaker 1: he's a young player. You know, he's in only a
Speaker 1: second season. A lot of time last year in the
Speaker 1: G League with the Coats, and Shake as somebody, I
Speaker 1: think everybody around the organization really has a fondness for you,
Speaker 1: very likable, very quiet guy. But I think he's gonna
Speaker 1: he's gonna benefit and he proved he could play. And
Speaker 1: I think, you know, to Coach's point that even Matisse
Speaker 1: and Furcon and Shake they realized at the level of
Speaker 1: physical play, the fact that you're probably not going to
Speaker 1: get some calls. Most of them are gonna go against you.
Speaker 1: It's gonna bring, you know, in a forced kind of way,
Speaker 1: a rugged toughness. These guys are competitive athletes. They're gonna
Speaker 1: take those cues and it'll be benefit them down the road.
Speaker 1: Seventy Sixers losing Toronto one, seven two at ninety five.
Speaker 1: The Sixers they were shorthanded tonight, fun hard, just didn't
Speaker 1: have enough to hang in there at the end when
Speaker 1: Toronto scored thirty one points in the fourth quarter. All right, Tom,
Speaker 1: we look ahead a couple of days idole for the
Speaker 1: seventy sixers. They will practice on Friday and then the
Speaker 1: Big eight thirty game on Saturday in the primetime slot
Speaker 1: against the King Ad and the Los Angeles Lakers. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So when the Sixers were in Dallas, the Lakers played
Speaker 1: the Mavericks the night before, So this is going back
Speaker 1: like a week ago, go Friday, and I went over
Speaker 1: there and watched the Lakers and Davis didn't play and
Speaker 1: Lebron was under the weather. He ended up not playing
Speaker 1: the very next night against Oklahoma. And my point is,
Speaker 1: from this personal perspective, they picked the Mavericks apart. They
Speaker 1: led by double figures and for most of the game
Speaker 1: by twenty points, and it was the big matchup, the
Speaker 1: fourth and final game at LUCA against Lebron, and the
Speaker 1: Lakers were just dominant. Then they go out the next
Speaker 1: night to Oklahoma a week ago Saturday, and didn't have
Speaker 1: Davis and didn't have Lebron, and they dominate the thunder
Speaker 1: who had been playing pretty well. So and again it
Speaker 1: goes back to what I just said, when you have
Speaker 1: championship players, and I know Davis hasn't won the championship,
Speaker 1: but you know they got Rondo and they got Lebron,
Speaker 1: and they just have the right pieces led by the
Speaker 1: most dynamic player. He may not beat the best player
Speaker 1: at this point. You may have to tip that to
Speaker 1: the scales if you will, basketball wise, to Kauai. But
Speaker 1: still Lebron is just so so good and so gifted.
Speaker 1: He really just picktured defense apart, but again a great
Speaker 1: night at the Center Marquee matchup Sixers twenty and two,
Speaker 1: and it should be an exciting night, another sellout. You know,
Speaker 1: there are certain games that you kind of circle and
Speaker 1: you know are going to be exciting. It's the Sixers,
Speaker 1: it's the Lakers, and it's going to be great on Saturday.
Speaker 1: Looking forward to talking with you time at that point
Speaker 1: in time. Good night things. Seventy Sixers drop a one
Speaker 1: oh seven ninety five decision at Toronto tonight, playing without
Speaker 1: Josh Richardson for the bulk of the game due to
Speaker 1: a left hamstring injury that he sustained early on in
Speaker 1: the first quarter about four minutes in twenty two points
Speaker 1: for Tobias Harris, seventeen apiece for Ben Simmons, and fur
Speaker 1: Con Corkmas thirteen from aatis thible as the Sixers four
Speaker 1: game winning streak comes to an end and they finished
Speaker 1: their Atlantic Division road trip with a record of two
Speaker 1: and one. There now two games behind Toronto for the
Speaker 1: division lead and also for third place in the Eastern
Speaker 1: Conference standings. Third matchup of the season between the seventy
Speaker 1: Sixers and the defending NBA champion Toronto Raptors the third
Speaker 1: and final game. I'm an Atlantic Division road trip for
Speaker 1: the Sixers. They were looking to go perfect, and a
Speaker 1: couple of minutes into the game, it seemed like they
Speaker 1: had a good shot. Sixers or five of ten Autitobi
Speaker 1: with the size to guard sevens, Ben splits two defenders,
Speaker 1: kicked it out to shake to the corner. Harris back
Speaker 1: to Milton for three, and it's good shake Milton knocking
Speaker 1: down the three, fourteen to ten to seventy Sixers. Let
Speaker 1: it Milton getting some early run because Josh Richardson had
Speaker 1: to leave the game about four minutes gone by due
Speaker 1: to an injury in his left hamstring. Sixers kept on
Speaker 1: building after that thanks to Tobias Harris. Lowry throws it
Speaker 1: all the way across the court and Ali Baka is
Speaker 1: block my court bause you heard it right, furk On
Speaker 1: block surge. Here's Tobias for three. Out of transition, Patty
Speaker 1: catches in a twenty seven fifteen to score. Then in
Speaker 1: the seventy six ers favor, they would be up thirty
Speaker 1: five twenty six after twelve minutes to play. The thirty
Speaker 1: five points the most ever scored by the seventy sixers
Speaker 1: in about ten years on Toronto in the first quarter
Speaker 1: of a road game at Scotia Bank Arena. Sixers in
Speaker 1: the second quarter would start to get a little bit
Speaker 1: of a resistance from the raptors, which began getting into
Speaker 1: the paint more and driving downhill. The seventy sixers have
Speaker 1: a guy who can do that. On the move now
Speaker 1: to bias three on three, weaving around one man into
Speaker 1: the lane, around Gasol, stops, turned shoots, snow tapped by
Speaker 1: the Sixers Simmons and Good and a foul on Powell.
Speaker 1: Six Ers lead was forty four to thirty seven was
Speaker 1: tied up at fifty at the break. The third quarter
Speaker 1: began with some really great energy on the defensive end
Speaker 1: by Matisse Thible, But as he showed right here, he
Speaker 1: can do some things offensively too. Gassault with it, timpted,
Speaker 1: stolen bite Thible Fible in a fun race and he
Speaker 1: jams in on Bark Gasol an throw down seventy sixers wide,
Speaker 1: the gap back to ten points, leading sixty six fifty six.
Speaker 1: Then Toronto began It's pushed behind Norman Powell and Sergebaka.
Speaker 1: Seventy Sixers got another lift from fur Concork Moss, Sixers
Speaker 1: in white with the ball going left the right. They're
Speaker 1: shooting forty percent. Then Simmons has got fifteen points, nine
Speaker 1: rebounds and eight ha says he goes Harris, who goes
Speaker 1: to Horford into the corner, Corkmons three ball, it's good,
Speaker 1: splashed out. Sixers lead was back up to six seventy
Speaker 1: two sixty six. They would trail, however, by four going
Speaker 1: into the fourth seventy six to seventy two, as Toronto
Speaker 1: closed the third on a ten nothing run part of
Speaker 1: a twenty two to six blitz they began in the
Speaker 1: third quarter and carried over into the fourth. From there
Speaker 1: it was climbing uphill. The Sixers have the ball five
Speaker 1: forty to go, Nita Hoop, long way to go, but
Speaker 1: down by nine. Here's Fatiss with another three and that's good.
Speaker 1: Lowry running out there and Bible knocks down a triple
Speaker 1: got the deficit two six ninety one. Eighty five. Sixers
Speaker 1: got as close as ninety three ninety on a dunk
Speaker 1: from Ben Simmons, but Fred and Van Fleet put the
Speaker 1: game away from the Raptors, looking at what could be
Speaker 1: their fifteenth straight win. Here in Toronto against the Sixers.
Speaker 1: Van Fleets for three and that'll do it. Two three
Speaker 1: to go, Freddie van Fleet for three and the Raptors
Speaker 1: lead by ten time out six Ers and that was
Speaker 1: indeed enough cushion for the Raptors, which going to beat
Speaker 1: the seventy sixers by a dozen, one oh seven to
Speaker 1: ninety five. Sixers held to thirty eight percent shooting in
Speaker 1: the game. That was lower than their percentage from outside
Speaker 1: the arc, where they were eighteen of forty six just
Speaker 1: under forty percent. The Raptors shot forty six and a
Speaker 1: half percent. They dominated the pain, outscoring the Sixers in
Speaker 1: the lane fifty two to eighteen Toronto thirteen of thirty
Speaker 1: three from the perimeter. The Raptors were also plus eight
Speaker 1: on the glass. The seventy Sixers turned the ball over
Speaker 1: thirteen times in the game, one more time than Toronto.
Speaker 1: Twenty two points for Tobias Harris that tied for a
Speaker 1: game high with Fred van Vliet, who had twenty two
Speaker 1: as well seventeen apiece for for a con corkmles In
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons. Simmons also with ten points, eight assists, but
Speaker 1: eight turnovers in the game, thirteen points, four Matisse Stible,
Speaker 1: his first loss in a starting role with the seventy Sixers.
Speaker 1: Should note that Shake Milton played twenty two minutes, the
Speaker 1: second highest total of his professional career with the Sixers.
Speaker 1: He was three for six from side the arc for
Speaker 1: at nine points. Toronto also got eighteen from Pascal Siakam.
Speaker 1: Thought Simmons and Company did a pretty decent job on
Speaker 1: him defensively. He was held to eight of twenty three
Speaker 1: from the field. Didn't shoot the ball well from outside
Speaker 1: the arc. He was one of eight. The Sixers let
Speaker 1: him take some shots from there, but Siakam just didn't
Speaker 1: have the stroke tonight. He did, however, have fifteen rebounds
Speaker 1: and was effective on that end of the floor, sixteen
Speaker 1: for Kyle Lowry and seventeen for Marcus Saul, who was
Speaker 1: perfect on the night, seven to seven from the field
Speaker 1: and three for three from outside the arc. Sergebaca big
Speaker 1: off the bench with sixteen. Norman Powell also big with
Speaker 1: eighteen points and eight boards. Those two were huge off
Speaker 1: the bench for Toronto. The Raptors now thirty and fourteen
Speaker 1: to seventy Sixers or twenty nine and seventeen Toronto two
Speaker 1: games in front of the seventy six Ers for first
Speaker 1: in the Atlantic and third in the Eastern Conference. All right,
Speaker 1: up next for the seventy six Ers Primetime Saturday night,
Speaker 1: eight thirty start time at the Center. It's the seventy
Speaker 1: Sixers against the thirty five and nine Western Conference leading
Speaker 1: Lebron James and Anthony Davis led Los Angeles Lakers. Lakers

Speaker 1: at the Garden. It was a total of twenty one
Speaker 1: points for James and twenty eight for Anthony Davis. You've
Speaker 1: been listening to Rewind. Look out for fresh episodes of
Speaker 1: the Day after every seventy six Ers game this season.
