Nothing wrong with 0:00:15.640 --> 0:00:19.200 a little physicality on a Friday night in Orlando as 0:00:19.200 --> 0:00:22.919 the Philadelphia seventy Sixers defeat the Orlando Magic in game 0:00:23.000 --> 0:00:26.360 number four of the seeding games. One O eight one 0:00:26.400 --> 0:00:29.159 oh one. Welcome to the Sixers postgame show here on 0:00:29.160 --> 0:00:32.279 the Sixers Radio Network. I'm Divine Givens. We will of 0:00:32.280 --> 0:00:35.279 course head back to Orlando when the time is right 0:00:35.360 --> 0:00:38.360 to check in with Sixer's head coach Brett Brown. Will 0:00:38.400 --> 0:00:40.959 also head to the center a little bit later on 0:00:41.120 --> 0:00:44.800 in this segment as we talk to Tom McGinnis as well, 0:00:45.120 --> 0:00:48.120 and right now we will head back to Orlando inside 0:00:48.120 --> 0:00:51.440 the HP Fieldhouse to hear from Brett BROWNY been great 0:00:51.520 --> 0:00:54.520 since you guys got to the bubble. How exciting is 0:00:54.560 --> 0:00:57.120 it for you to see him owning his space the 0:00:57.160 --> 0:01:02.040 way he is out there that I'm assuming you can 0:01:02.080 --> 0:01:03.840 see it, you know when you watch in the game. 0:01:04.000 --> 0:01:06.959 I most definitely feel it right on the sideline and 0:01:07.000 --> 0:01:12.399 amongst the team is just as a physical presence. There 0:01:12.600 --> 0:01:16.959 is a like just kind of smash mouth physical presence 0:01:17.240 --> 0:01:19.840 that that we needed tonight. I thought that we were 0:01:19.920 --> 0:01:25.000 losing the physical battle in the first half. You could reference, 0:01:25.480 --> 0:01:27.920 you know, we shot five free throwers. You could reference 0:01:27.959 --> 0:01:31.000 we were three for eighteen from long twos. It was 0:01:31.040 --> 0:01:33.600 no good. It was a D plus in relation to 0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:37.679 that aspect. And you know, paint catches, rim go to 0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:40.880 the line and the same thing. Defensively, I thought we 0:01:40.920 --> 0:01:43.800 were getting moved around. And so how you know when 0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:47.200 you say he played well, it's true, but it's it's 0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:49.720 it's not a statistic to me, although his stats are 0:01:49.760 --> 0:01:52.920 pretty damn good, it's more just that physical presence that 0:01:53.000 --> 0:02:02.160 he brings to this group. Keith, you're up next, hey 0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:05.200 break when when you talk about that, did you know 0:02:05.240 --> 0:02:07.880 the first half things didn't go well? But it just 0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:11.200 seemed like in the I won't even say the third quarter, 0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:14.200 beginning of the fourth quarter is when you guys came out. 0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:16.520 I believe it was an eight oh run. Um, you 0:02:16.560 --> 0:02:18.680 guys went up seven and you were able, you know, 0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:22.079 to end up winning by seven. Um, just talk about that. 0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:25.360 I thought it happened a little bit earlier, Keith. I 0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:28.200 thought that Joel Embi came out and you know the 0:02:28.400 --> 0:02:30.720 I don't remember what point it was in the third period, 0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:33.960 it was clear like his disposition changed, and he spoke 0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:37.560 about it a lot at halftime, and I think that 0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:41.800 that Joel's set sort of the fire. Joel set the tone. 0:02:42.360 --> 0:02:45.000 And it's true like we had our best close out 0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:48.480 period with twenty two points defensively that we've had since 0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:50.840 we have been here. UM, But I think that it 0:02:50.919 --> 0:02:53.680 happened earlier. I think that Joel kind of started it 0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:58.000 with his probably as much offensive play as as as 0:02:58.040 --> 0:03:01.359 it was defensive play. I mean, look the free throws 0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:05.440 that Joel shot in the second half, UM as an example. 0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:09.640 And I think like that that whatever point it was 0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:11.519 in the third period, I feel like that's where it 0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:15.400 started to pivot. And and Brent, you know, this was 0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:18.720 your first game without Ben. You know you're going to 0:03:18.760 --> 0:03:20.840 find out a lot about your team. What did you 0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:23.919 find out about him? Again, it's just one game, um, 0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:28.360 but what did you find out about tonight? Um? The 0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:34.640 you can't help but feel like an emerging altorfit. Um. 0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:38.600 It's clear he understands that that we need him more 0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:41.920 than we ever have needed him. Uh And I, as 0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:45.839 I said before, there's a physical play that stands out 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:49.520 the most. I think that that there are other players. 0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:52.119 A look at Alec Burke did today, you know, look 0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:57.000 at Matisa's defense chasing um Terrence Ross and Jay Rich 0:03:57.160 --> 0:03:59.480 chasing Terence Ross. I don't think he scored. I think 0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:03.160 he was there ten. You know, look at Tobias Crash 0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:05.560 and the offensive boards without Hope and we as a 0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:09.360 team ended up with fifteen offensive rebounds. And so you 0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:12.640 can go to a bunch of places, but I feel 0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:16.840 like there is a there is a sort of a 0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:20.800 flashpoint where you realize that, you know, without Ben Simmons, 0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:23.320 there's some things that have to be done at a 0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:26.800 higher level, and let's just start with intensity. And I 0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:29.560 thought in the second half we did those types of 0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:32.640 things and those people that I've just mentioned, especially to me, 0:04:33.240 --> 0:04:40.240 stood out. I'm gonna go to Kyl newback next. Hey, Brett, 0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:44.839 So what did you see from Alec specifically tonight? Because 0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:48.479 he's gone from you know, kind of a bit player 0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:51.200 in a lot of games to tonight. I think you 0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:53.919 ended up playing him pretty deep in the crunch time, 0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:57.119 and he obviously had a big impact on the team 0:04:57.160 --> 0:05:01.200 off of the bench. Yeah, he got to that dude, 0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:04.520 get to a stage, guyd where I you know, probably 0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:06.760 like to go in six seven minute clumps with him 0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:11.239 and with a lot of the players. Tobias probably gets 0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:16.440 more leeway um than most and so you just you know, 0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:19.040 want to keep those fresh bodies on the floor. And 0:05:19.080 --> 0:05:20.839 he got to a stage for me where he was 0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:25.520 playing that well that that I continued giving you minutes 0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:28.719 and did not bring shake back in in a normal 0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:32.880 sort of rotation pattern that I have been been looking at. 0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:35.599 And I think that with Alec when you start talking 0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:38.440 about what what did he do? His ability to dance 0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:41.200 out of a pick and roll, Uh, the notion that 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:45.560 defensive players probably go over on him more than under 0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:51.279 Let's rolling opportunities happen more frequently, and so like he 0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:54.160 just felt confident that you could something as simple as 0:05:54.160 --> 0:05:57.080 a space pick and roll put putt put Ala, Joe 0:05:57.080 --> 0:06:00.760 in it roll roll Joel let Alec hands and space 0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:04.040 some shooters. I mean it was a clean, simple environment 0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:06.720 that I thought that he really was excellent. He can 0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:08.960 sort of get into the pain at times and like 0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:12.240 just play bullyball and has the ability to create his 0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:14.440 own shot. He done sometimes doesn't even need a pick 0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:19.360 and ball and Sixers head coach winning head coach Brett 0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:23.520 Brown inside the HP Fieldhouse via the zoom with the 0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:26.680 media speaking about his team's one eight one oh one 0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:31.120 victory over the Orlando Magic, their third straight victory in 0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:33.839 the seeding games, now four in the books, three and 0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:37.279 one with four more to go. As Brett Brown was 0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:40.120 talking about, as we've heard before and we'll talk to 0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:42.640 Tom again Nis about this, but just being physical all 0:06:42.800 --> 0:06:46.680 night long, really establishing themselves in a third quarter with 0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:50.360 that physicality that really became a problem and helped them overall, 0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:54.599 helped their defense and their offense, spearheading their defense, spearheading 0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:58.800 things leading to offensive opportunities for the seventy sixers, and 0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:01.559 they were very, very good in the third quarter. Jowel 0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:06.520 embiid his best quarter, twelve points in the third quarter alone, 0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:09.240 where he went out there and really as struggling in 0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:13.000 the first half, establishing that low post, getting some deep 0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:16.040 post position looks, getting to the free throw line as 0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:19.440 a result, six of eight in that quarter alone, finishing 0:07:19.440 --> 0:07:21.880 again with twelve points on three of six shooting with 0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:24.920 those eight free throws in the six makes as well, 0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:28.720 also getting six points from Tobias Harris and Al Horford. 0:07:29.080 --> 0:07:32.280 Very efficient from the front court of those three with 0:07:32.360 --> 0:07:36.480 what they were doing, being able to really dominate a 0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:39.920 lot of the low post touches get catching the ball 0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:43.239 and turning their body and then backing their defender down 0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:47.080 getting to the free throw line for Joel Embiid, Tobias 0:07:47.120 --> 0:07:50.720 Harris getting there twice as well, and you can just 0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:53.840 see how things started to turn twenty nine twenty nine 0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:57.440 in that quarter. But in the fourth as they spoke about, 0:07:57.640 --> 0:08:02.000 Keith Pompey and Brett Brown really starting to turn it 0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:04.960 up as the fourth quarter got under way, getting on 0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:09.720 a run where they separated themselves, the Miami Orlando Magic 0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:11.680 had to call a time out. They were forced to 0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:14.040 call the time out. The defense by Tobias Harris coming 0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:16.880 in bringing that energy. Part me that Matistai will bring 0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:20.400 in that energy and igniting that that looked something that 0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:23.840 looked lost a little bit in the first two and 0:08:23.840 --> 0:08:26.680 a half quarters and really got it going for the 0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:29.720 seventy six ers once again winning this game tonight one 0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:32.840 O eight one on one, now three and one inside 0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:36.600 the bubble with the overall record forty two and twenty seven. 0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:39.360 On the night, the Sixers shot forty point nine percent 0:08:39.480 --> 0:08:42.360 from the field, twenty seven point six from behind the 0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:45.600 three point line, eight of twenty nine thirty three free 0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:50.000 throw attempts twenty four or thirty three, seventy three percent 0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:53.280 from the field, and on the glass fifty one forty seven. 0:08:53.320 --> 0:08:56.280 One thing we always like to talk about the assist numbers, 0:08:56.640 --> 0:09:00.760 nineteen assists on thirty eight makes now normally that's more 0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:03.800 for the seventy sixers, but without Ben Simmons again and 0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:06.000 Shake Milton have a bit of a quiet night. Even 0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:08.680 though he had eight assists, with only Shake Milton and 0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:11.560 no Ben Simmons, the number down a little bit. Alec 0:09:11.600 --> 0:09:14.760 Brooks more of someone that Brett Brown talked about that 0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:18.520 can somebody's going over top of the screen, he goes under. 0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:21.000 He does his thing with his dribble and he's able 0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:23.840 to get some good looks and he's thinking first of 0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:27.000 scoring and not the past like Ben Simmons. But it 0:09:27.040 --> 0:09:29.960 was a great showing from Alec Burks tonight with twenty 0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:33.439 twenty two points for him off the bench for Brett 0:09:33.440 --> 0:09:36.160 Brown and the seventy six or Sixers victorious one O eight, 0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:38.199 one on one in game four of their seating games. 0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:41.240 And now we head to the center. We stay here 0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:43.800 in Philadelphia, head down to the center. You heard the guy, 0:09:43.920 --> 0:09:47.280 the man, Tom McGuinness call the game here, the Sixers 0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:49.760 one O eight, one on one victory over the Orlando Magic. 0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:51.680 And Tom, one of the things that we talked about 0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:53.720 where a lot of people stepping up in the absence 0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:56.679 of Ben Simmons, and they got just that. As I 0:09:56.760 --> 0:10:00.640 start things off with you getting this victory. Looking at 0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:04.040 eighteen of twenty four from the free throw line between 0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:08.600 Tobias Harris, Al Horford, Joel nbat thirty seven rebounds as 0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:11.560 well in twenty three of fifty three from the field. 0:10:12.160 --> 0:10:15.080 That's the way it is to establish the physicality in 0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:18.200 the basketball game, right. So those three guys had thirty 0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:21.160 one made field goals when you incorporate Burkes and they 0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:23.480 only had thirty eight as a team, you know, eight 0:10:23.520 --> 0:10:26.400 apiece for both Harris, Horford and Burks and Joel had seven. 0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:29.120 That's the bulkiear offense right there. And those guys are 0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:32.880 veteran players who, particularly in the form of Horford, they 0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:35.719 know how to use their bodies around the basket, and 0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:38.440 Tobias it's often although he had a lot of putbacks, 0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:40.200 when you have fifteen rebounds, you're going to get to 0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:43.000 the get to the glass offensively, and he had some 0:10:43.040 --> 0:10:45.720 scores down there. But I thought Horford when he gets 0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:49.000 around the basket, he's really well salad with his footwork 0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:53.160 and getting the angled bank shots with the defender right there, 0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:56.000 and then you know, the foul shooting was big, And 0:10:56.080 --> 0:10:59.080 I just thought the Sixers had so many opportunities to 0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:02.920 increased their lead and they finally started to take advantage 0:11:02.920 --> 0:11:05.920 to give themselves a cushion, and they really the beginning 0:11:05.960 --> 0:11:08.160 of the fourth and it's Brett Brown alluded to. It 0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:11.199 started a little bit before that, but still down too 0:11:11.400 --> 0:11:14.840 going into the fourth and just really stiming the magic 0:11:14.880 --> 0:11:17.320 early in the fourth and they were out man, no 0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:19.640 question about it. The Sixers had more talent in the 0:11:19.720 --> 0:11:22.840 end and it showed. But a nice performance for Burkes 0:11:23.200 --> 0:11:26.000 and you needed some guys to step up, I thought, Josh. 0:11:26.040 --> 0:11:28.839 And even though Shake had eight assists, they didn't really 0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:32.079 score the ball and their guards did in terms of 0:11:32.200 --> 0:11:35.400 dj Augustine and Fournier and oh, by the way, it's 0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:39.319 gonna be a bigger challenge Sunday with McCollum and Lillard. 0:11:39.679 --> 0:11:42.240 And that's I think where you're really gonna miss Ben Simmons. 0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:43.640 You miss him in a lot of ways. A two 0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:47.880 time All Star, but he's been an incredible defender and 0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:50.000 those guys are gonna have to step it up against 0:11:50.080 --> 0:11:53.560 Dame Dollar and CJ McCollum against the Blazers on Sunday. 0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:56.280 And don't forget about Gary Trent Junior showing himself as 0:11:56.320 --> 0:11:59.920 well off the players in the bubble. Right. Absolutely, But Tom, 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:04.199 as you mentioned Al Horford, this is what I assume 0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:07.079 everyone thought you were going to get when you acquired 0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:10.160 him in the offseason. Eight or fourteen from the field, 0:12:10.360 --> 0:12:12.880 four or four from the free throw line, nine rebounds, 0:12:12.920 --> 0:12:15.240 five of the offensive variety for twenty one points in 0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:17.920 thirty minutes and twenty seconds. Stayed out of foul trouble, 0:12:18.040 --> 0:12:21.520 no fouls at all, played a very good game overall. 0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:24.040 Started things off with some quick points, a quick dunk 0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:28.680 reverse baseline dunk time out. Orlando really showed himself tonight 0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:31.280 as he reinserted the starting lineup. Yeah, and he's a 0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:33.640 good handler to the basketball. He played thirty minutes in 0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:36.960 the last two games, and then you know he only 0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:40.360 made one three, only took three. But when he's open, 0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:43.960 you know he's able to space it out and make 0:12:44.080 --> 0:12:47.800 make shots. So no question, and you know he's going 0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:51.439 to be in the starting lineup now without Ben Simmons 0:12:52.160 --> 0:12:55.960 for however long that lasts. And you're right again, so 0:12:56.040 --> 0:13:00.160 many guys benefited. It's been very difficult for everybody in 0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:03.880 terms of getting through this whole pandemic, and certainly for 0:13:04.000 --> 0:13:07.640 NBA players athletically during the break, but I think it 0:13:07.720 --> 0:13:11.000 gave a lot of guys the chance to rest up, 0:13:11.080 --> 0:13:15.000 recoup and then ramp up again. And really, you know, 0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:18.160 and certainly it probably was different from many different players 0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:21.480 in terms of what they were forced to work out 0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:25.240 with based on their circumstances. But Horford kind of intimated 0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:28.280 that he wasn't one hundred percent in the early weeks 0:13:28.280 --> 0:13:30.920 months of the season or during the season, and now 0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:33.959 he is. And he's a veteran player. And when you 0:13:34.080 --> 0:13:36.319 when you talk to the coaches that have been around him, 0:13:36.480 --> 0:13:39.520 the likes of Brad Stevens and Kenny Atkinson was an 0:13:39.520 --> 0:13:43.600 assistant Atlanta, They're like, hey, when it rolls into postseason time. 0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:46.560 Al Horford will step up big and we're there. I mean, 0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:49.240 it's basically just you know, we're just a few days 0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:52.360 away from the playoffs and these are games that matter 0:13:52.440 --> 0:13:56.520 in terms of getting into rhythm, getting the momentum. And again, 0:13:56.600 --> 0:14:00.320 these these haven't been like the most impressive. I thought 0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:02.439 this was better for the Sixers. They're they're taking on 0:14:02.559 --> 0:14:06.320 an underman under five hundred Orlando team, but and they 0:14:06.360 --> 0:14:10.000 had some real solid performances. But the Sixers, you know, 0:14:10.679 --> 0:14:13.640 and they're gaining wins. So you know, except for that, 0:14:13.720 --> 0:14:16.480 you know, huge output by Warren and what Indiana did 0:14:16.480 --> 0:14:19.720 that the Sixers, they've played well better in each game 0:14:20.120 --> 0:14:22.320 and now, like I said, it steps up. Phoenix is 0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:25.320 on a roll Tuesday, the Raptors Wednesday, and as I 0:14:25.400 --> 0:14:29.240 talked about earlier, the Portland Trailpizer Sunday, that all wraps 0:14:29.320 --> 0:14:31.640 up a week from today. We don't know exactly what 0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:34.240 time that'll be against Houston, and obviously they're one of 0:14:34.240 --> 0:14:36.560 the better teams in the NBA as well. Tom McGuinness 0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:39.120 live from the Center following six is victory one O eight, 0:14:39.120 --> 0:14:41.320 one on one over the Orlando Magic. Now three and 0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:44.640 one inside the Bubble and Tom Finally, as you've mentioned 0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:47.760 and Brett Brown talking about as well, Alec Brooks's coming 0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:50.160 off the bench. Phenomenal work tonight in twenty seven minutes 0:14:50.160 --> 0:14:52.760 and thirty one seconds eight to fifteen, three of seven 0:14:52.880 --> 0:14:55.160 from deep, three of five from the free throw line, 0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:58.040 mixed in two assists, four rebounds for his twenty two. 0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:01.000 When they acquired them doing the trading line Elton Brand 0:15:01.040 --> 0:15:03.840 along with Glenn Robinson, you knew you were getting someone 0:15:03.880 --> 0:15:05.840 who can flat out put the ball on the floor 0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:08.120 and score. And they needed that in a big way 0:15:08.160 --> 0:15:11.760 tonight with the struggling tonight of the starting backcourt of 0:15:11.760 --> 0:15:14.800 Shake Milton and Josh Richardson, and now with him doing 0:15:14.800 --> 0:15:17.720 this tonight, we assume that as you talk about matching 0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:21.000 the output if you can of CJ McCollum, Damian Lillard 0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:24.720 and even Gary Trent Junior. A good showing, A very 0:15:24.720 --> 0:15:27.120 good showing for Alec Brooks tonight and something that hopefully 0:15:27.120 --> 0:15:29.160 we can look forward to in the future. Yeah. Right, 0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:30.640 he has a knack at scoring the ball, and I 0:15:30.720 --> 0:15:32.600 like the way Coach Brown described that he can really 0:15:32.680 --> 0:15:35.600 dance out of pick and rolls. He's not like this 0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:38.720 Burner slasher. He gets right to the cup, but he's 0:15:38.760 --> 0:15:41.560 got a way of getting a step on the defender 0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:44.440 and creating the open shot. So and he's not a 0:15:44.480 --> 0:15:47.720 classic point guard, but he was certainly more than capable 0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:50.720 ball handler in this game. And let's face it, you 0:15:50.840 --> 0:15:53.880 need guys to come in and they add scoring. It's 0:15:53.960 --> 0:15:57.720 been a low scoring night. Certainly the Washington game was 0:15:58.080 --> 0:16:02.360 similar in that vein and he came in and produced offensively. 0:16:02.880 --> 0:16:05.360 And you know, when you have four players with twenty 0:16:05.440 --> 0:16:08.480 or more points, that's certainly something that you can't bank 0:16:08.520 --> 0:16:12.760 on every game. But major production from those guys, like 0:16:12.760 --> 0:16:16.680 I said, all veterans withinbid in that mix as well. Well. 0:16:16.720 --> 0:16:19.400 Town six is again tied with the Indiana Pacers for 0:16:19.600 --> 0:16:22.040 that fifth seed at forty two and twenty seven. Tiet 0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:24.640 break of course with the Indiana Pacers before games remaining, 0:16:25.080 --> 0:16:27.520 and we'll see where things go from there. Tom, thanks 0:16:27.560 --> 0:16:30.600 so much to you and Rob Gressman, and of course 0:16:30.640 --> 0:16:33.360 Marty Dickerson will catch up with you on Sunday against 0:16:33.400 --> 0:16:35.600 the Portland Trailblazers. All right, Jabon, thank you, have a 0:16:35.640 --> 0:16:38.120 great weekend. Tom, Thank you so much. Tom McGuinness again 0:16:38.480 --> 0:16:42.200 live from the Center Sixers victorious over the Orlando Magic 0:16:42.280 --> 0:16:45.080 Tonight one O eight one one, three in a row 0:16:45.160 --> 0:16:48.520 for the Sixers as they beat the Orlando Magic Tonight 0:16:48.560 --> 0:16:51.000 one O eight one on one, now three and one 0:16:51.160 --> 0:16:56.360 inside the Orlando bubble for the seeding games. Divine gives 0:16:56.360 --> 0:16:58.600 with you here on the Sixers postgame show on the 0:16:58.640 --> 0:17:02.000 Sixes Radio Network and in his time for the highlights. 0:17:02.040 --> 0:17:05.400 Off to a quick start, Josh Richardson with a transition 0:17:05.680 --> 0:17:08.240 three and the secondary break to make it three oz 0:17:08.400 --> 0:17:11.880 starting things off. Tobias Harris also getting in the mix 0:17:12.040 --> 0:17:15.120 very early, very aggressive attacking, and Glass with an offensive 0:17:15.119 --> 0:17:17.440 rebounding and dunk to make it five four. But then 0:17:17.800 --> 0:17:21.600 Al Horford goes on a six oh personal run capped 0:17:21.600 --> 0:17:24.480 off by this great move along the baseline. Horford with 0:17:24.560 --> 0:17:27.399 it again, goes right around Gary Clark and Jamson at 0:17:27.440 --> 0:17:29.200 the radio man not the only guy I see in 0:17:29.240 --> 0:17:31.840 the mismatch there. Sux Us go right to him a 0:17:32.000 --> 0:17:34.800 pirouette down low right, and Horford with a jam He's 0:17:34.840 --> 0:17:38.840 got six time out Orlando. Steve Clifford's gotta figure out 0:17:38.840 --> 0:17:44.520 who's gonna guard big Al reverse pivot. Very decisive on 0:17:44.600 --> 0:17:48.240 what he wanted to do. Dunk on the baseline thirteen ten. 0:17:48.680 --> 0:17:52.600 Al Horford puts the sixers up by three. Harris with 0:17:53.000 --> 0:17:55.679 Drills a picking pop three pointed to make it twenty 0:17:55.680 --> 0:17:58.120 to fifteen. But the man that we've been talking about 0:17:58.200 --> 0:18:00.720 quite often tonight off the bench, Al Burks from Deep 0:18:01.160 --> 0:18:03.400 Red Brown with a play call for Burks a beat 0:18:03.400 --> 0:18:05.800 out top ready to set a screen. Otherwise they've spread 0:18:05.840 --> 0:18:07.800 the four with quork miles in one corner of five 0:18:07.800 --> 0:18:10.720 other than the other, Burks can't get by Folts and 0:18:10.760 --> 0:18:13.480 now steps around in the beach screen for three and good. 0:18:13.640 --> 0:18:17.800 So not the greatest execution, but the baskets good sextus 0:18:17.840 --> 0:18:20.280 by a deuce. That's what you get when you have 0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:22.280 somebody who can score the way he did. And that 0:18:22.359 --> 0:18:24.879 started to spearhead things for Alec Burks. We get the 0:18:24.960 --> 0:18:27.160 more from him later on. That made the twenty five 0:18:27.320 --> 0:18:31.880 twenty three sixers up after one. Bricks continues to play 0:18:32.040 --> 0:18:34.720 very well. He drives the baseline for reverse lamp to 0:18:34.720 --> 0:18:38.800 make it twenty nine twenty seven, continuing with Alec Brooks 0:18:38.840 --> 0:18:43.360 off the bench, another deep one with the foul the perimeter, 0:18:43.440 --> 0:18:46.760 Burks getting around Folts, goes underneath does fold Man. Then 0:18:46.840 --> 0:18:51.640 Folks drills Alec Burks. It's a little while defensively there 0:18:51.680 --> 0:18:55.000 by Foltz so Burks is going to the line for 0:18:55.080 --> 0:18:59.520 the four point play and alec Burks with eleven leads 0:18:59.800 --> 0:19:03.320 all scores in the game, knocking it down thirty five 0:19:03.480 --> 0:19:06.600 thirty one sixers. But Orlando goes on a little bit 0:19:06.600 --> 0:19:10.480 of a run themselves. Shake Milton with a sweet left 0:19:10.560 --> 0:19:16.200 reverse layup forty three two thirty eight. Nick Vusevich then 0:19:16.240 --> 0:19:19.000 follows up to make it forty three forty left hand dribble, 0:19:19.040 --> 0:19:22.720 powering down on Horford, still turning jump hook baseline right, 0:19:22.800 --> 0:19:25.560 got it off the glass and good well done by 0:19:25.640 --> 0:19:29.600 Vusovich going with the counter move on big al Vussovitch 0:19:29.720 --> 0:19:34.360 nine points, six rebounds, sixteen points in the paint for Orlando. 0:19:34.880 --> 0:19:38.240 And before that, as we mentioned as promised, shake Milton 0:19:38.600 --> 0:19:40.720 and down a milk milk with a dribble move getting 0:19:40.720 --> 0:19:42.760 there on one man reverse lamp of the left hand. 0:19:42.840 --> 0:19:47.199 Good well done by Milton on d jay Augustine nifty 0:19:47.320 --> 0:19:49.800 inside out of dribble and shake Milton of the reverse. 0:19:50.359 --> 0:19:53.879 He's got four six ers by five inside out dribble, 0:19:53.960 --> 0:19:55.800 puts it out in front of him after he picks 0:19:55.800 --> 0:19:59.240 it up to avoid being blocked from behind or knocked out, 0:19:59.640 --> 0:20:02.560 making it forty three thirty eight again Vosovich forty three 0:20:02.680 --> 0:20:05.600 forty Berts drills another three to make it fifty to 0:20:05.680 --> 0:20:10.000 forty eight for the Orlando Magic. Again in front and 0:20:10.280 --> 0:20:15.879 after two the Orlando Magic, looking at the Philadelphia seventy 0:20:15.920 --> 0:20:19.160 six is forty fifty to forty eight. In the start 0:20:19.200 --> 0:20:22.320 of the third quarter, to make it fifty six forty three, 0:20:22.400 --> 0:20:24.920 Tobias Harris knocks down a corner jumper. So here's a 0:20:25.000 --> 0:20:27.960 try by shake to the corner, Tobias three ball. It's good, 0:20:28.280 --> 0:20:31.720 good drawing kicked there by shake Bilton and Harris poison 0:20:31.800 --> 0:20:35.840 ready on target on Todd catch tray basket by the Sixers. 0:20:36.080 --> 0:20:38.480 It's a three point game. Struggling a bit in the 0:20:38.520 --> 0:20:40.600 first half, Tobias Harris needed that they got it right 0:20:40.640 --> 0:20:42.480 out of the locker room to make it fifty six 0:20:42.720 --> 0:20:45.760 fifty three after three, a two point advantage by the 0:20:45.880 --> 0:20:49.000 Orlando Magic seventy nine seventy seven. Things really picked up 0:20:49.320 --> 0:20:51.679 in the fourth quarter, with Tobias Harris with a runoff 0:20:51.720 --> 0:20:53.720 the glass to tie it up at seventy nine and 0:20:53.840 --> 0:20:56.439 Matis Thi will bring that energy with a swat and 0:20:56.520 --> 0:20:58.560 a dunk at the end. Here's a long shot by 0:20:58.640 --> 0:21:01.240 Ross park by Batis. They thrown ahead of Fiball in 0:21:01.359 --> 0:21:04.320 the late Bible. Ducks in with two hands. He made 0:21:04.359 --> 0:21:07.600 the play on terrace. Ross got it back in Champion 0:21:07.760 --> 0:21:11.520 had the Sixers eighty three Orlando seventy nine, but Peace 0:21:11.640 --> 0:21:15.720 tible time out Orlando. What the rookie does comes in 0:21:15.800 --> 0:21:18.439 and kind of changes the momentum of the game. Eighty 0:21:18.480 --> 0:21:21.600 three seventy nine, Sixers in front Al Horford with a 0:21:21.680 --> 0:21:24.440 pick and pop jumper to make it ninety one eighty six. 0:21:24.880 --> 0:21:29.119 Alec Burks arguably the start of the game with another 0:21:29.560 --> 0:21:32.600 three point for the Sixers. Back out to Horford, swing 0:21:32.600 --> 0:21:34.600 to the right side Perks three ball shot there he 0:21:34.840 --> 0:21:40.000 got it. Hallelujah, triple Alec Burks. Nice moving on the perimeter. 0:21:40.400 --> 0:21:43.720 Burks makes it a nine point game, largest lead of 0:21:43.880 --> 0:21:46.359 the ball game for the Sixers and now a stop 0:21:46.400 --> 0:21:50.080 with loum Large three thirty five ago. Very nice ball movement. 0:21:50.119 --> 0:21:53.320
