Speaker 1: This is seventy Sixers. Rewind time now to listen back
Speaker 1: to postgame reaction from the team's most recent game. He's
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia seventy Sixers Coast Game Show and the Sixers
Speaker 1: win on Jimmy Butler with a game witty triple? Are
Speaker 1: you Kenny? By the Sixers Coast Game Show right now?
Speaker 1: On ninety seven five the fanatic terrific bounce back picture
Speaker 1: four three seventy Sixers against the Utah Jazz in Salt
Speaker 1: Lake City. Winning in Salt Lake City in back to
Speaker 1: back years for the first time since nineteen eighty seven
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty eight, the Sixers able to get past the
Speaker 1: Jazz by a very sound margin of one fourteen to
Speaker 1: ninety seven. Brian Seltzer with you on the postgame show.
Speaker 1: We're gonna hear from Tom McGinnis in a little bit.
Speaker 1: Let's check back with the studio. Do we have Brett Brown? No,
Speaker 1: we do believe, So let's go to the winning head
Speaker 1: coach right now. No, we don't lost. The head coach
Speaker 1: heard a little bit of him in the earphones before
Speaker 1: coming back from the break. It sounded like he was
Speaker 1: very pleased and how could he not be with the
Speaker 1: way the seventy Sixers played in tonight's game, you know
Speaker 1: it took them about a quarter and a half to
Speaker 1: really find their legs out in Utah, having flown across
Speaker 1: the country yesterday following that tough Christmas Day overtime lost
Speaker 1: to the Boston Celtics. But down the stretch of the
Speaker 1: first half they went on a nine to two run
Speaker 1: and take a five point fifty seven fifty two lead
Speaker 1: going into the break, And after both teams went through
Speaker 1: some choppy play in the opening three minutes of the
Speaker 1: third quarter, the Sixers really opened things up. They seized
Speaker 1: a double figure lead. JJ Reddick was terrific and staking
Speaker 1: the Sixers to that double digit advantage. They got a
Speaker 1: nice bench boost midway through the third quarter, and down
Speaker 1: the stretch it was just the Sixers porn it on
Speaker 1: Sixers making shots, the Utah Jazz missing them. All around,
Speaker 1: the Sixers were received balanced contributions from the box score.
Speaker 1: You can start with JJ Reddick and his team best
Speaker 1: twenty four points. Joel Embiad with twenty three points, fifteen rebounds,
Speaker 1: six assists in five block shots. Ben Simmons great night
Speaker 1: for the second year point man of the seventy Sixers
Speaker 1: fourteen points, fourteen rebounds, twelve assists, three steals. That is
Speaker 1: his fifth triple double of the season, good for second
Speaker 1: best in the NBA. And I thought he was a
Speaker 1: really important presence when Utah started to apply some heat
Speaker 1: and crunch time after Joel Embiad fouled out, Simmons came
Speaker 1: up with a key score in the low post. Then
Speaker 1: he snagged a big offensive rebound set Jimmy Butler up
Speaker 1: for a basket to help the Sixers go back up
Speaker 1: by twenty points reclaim control of the game, Butler finishing
Speaker 1: with eighteen as the Sixers knock off the Jazz one
Speaker 1: fourteen to ninety seven, matching the largest margin of victory
Speaker 1: in a road game at Utah since January of nineteen
Speaker 1: eighty three. Sixers. We're looking for a big bounce back
Speaker 1: effort in a big way, and they got it tonight.
Speaker 1: They improved to twenty three thirteen on the season, while
Speaker 1: the Jazz dropped to seventeen and nineteen overall. We're gonna
Speaker 1: step aside for just a second comeback. We will hear
Speaker 1: from Tom McGinnis and perhaps give a little bit of
Speaker 1: Brett Brown as well. It's the postgame shown the Sixers

Speaker 1: McGinnis in a moment. But first I believe we do
Speaker 1: now have Brett Brown and he is the defensive player
Speaker 1: of the year. When I look at the our metrics,
Speaker 1: I know him, I'm his coach, his his his impact
Speaker 1: on our team is overwhelming, and I thought tonight he
Speaker 1: showed that. I thought Jimmy had some tremendously athletic plays.
Speaker 1: You know, you can see the firepower that that we
Speaker 1: have in him and why he is an All Star.
Speaker 1: And then JJ came out and was JJ and so
Speaker 1: across the board. You know, we do have firepower. And
Speaker 1: now managing that and and coexisting and playing together, you know,
Speaker 1: that's my job. And I thought tonight was a good
Speaker 1: team effort of a night like they did tonight after
Speaker 1: a night in Boston that it was a little bit rougher, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know. And I thought that they played defense. They're
Speaker 1: a hard team to guard, and we we prioritize trying
Speaker 1: to take away the three. I thought some of the
Speaker 1: threes they got were ones that we were prepared to
Speaker 1: give other ones. I thought we did a pretty good
Speaker 1: job of chasing off. I got tremendous sort of respect
Speaker 1: for Quinn. He's been a friend of mine for many years,
Speaker 1: and I pay attention. I steal stuff from him, and
Speaker 1: I'm always looking over my shoulder what's going on here
Speaker 1: in Utah. And they just are a very difficult team
Speaker 1: to guard. And I thought our bench, to your point, especially,
Speaker 1: was good defensively. The fans. Obviously we're looking forward to
Speaker 1: seeing Ben Simmons. A lot of hostility direct towards him.
Speaker 1: How do you think he handled that? He kind of
Speaker 1: spoke with his play, just what you just said, He
Speaker 1: spoke with his play, you know, with the exception of
Speaker 1: those last you know, a few turnovers, he had a
Speaker 1: triple double and was dominant, you know, and really was
Speaker 1: committed defensively. You know, we're all going to look at
Speaker 1: the numbers and what I remember most, and I think
Speaker 1: that the tape will confirm it is how dominant he
Speaker 1: was defensively. Look at athletically what he can do. He
Speaker 1: can switch out on Ruby, he can put an arm
Speaker 1: behind Rudy. He's just that versatile with his height and
Speaker 1: his athleticism. And this is where I'm selling my message
Speaker 1: as hard as I can with him. This is where
Speaker 1: he can impact the game the soonest his shot will come.
Speaker 1: He's only twenty two. Everybody forgets that, and I think
Speaker 1: that defensively he was elite. Seventy Sixers head coach Brett
Speaker 1: Brown his team winners in Utah tonight one, fourteen and
Speaker 1: ninety seven, first time since eighty seven eighty eight that
Speaker 1: the seventy Sixers win in consecutive seasons in Salt Lake City.
Speaker 1: Brian Seltzer with you from Sixers dot Com. We bring
Speaker 1: in now the man who called tonight's game, Tom McGinnis. Tom. Obviously,
Speaker 1: a game like Tuesday leaves you with a certain type
Speaker 1: of feeling. The seventy Sixers would have loved to leave
Speaker 1: Boston with a win. But next time up a great response,
Speaker 1: collective effort, and after needing about a quarter and a
Speaker 1: half to get going, they really just totally outdid the
Speaker 1: Jazz and just about every way. No, you're right, it
Speaker 1: was a very good road victory. And you know, I
Speaker 1: thought Utah early on they seemed like they had eight
Speaker 1: shots maybe more that went in and out, so you know,
Speaker 1: and they were good looks, so in a way, the
Speaker 1: ball wasn't bouncing their way. But I think he raised
Speaker 1: a good point. I mean, the Sixers are down by seven,
Speaker 1: I believe it was twenty nine twenty two after one,
Speaker 1: and then really came on, particularly midway through that second quarter,
Speaker 1: never trailed after that and never really let them back in.
Speaker 1: Utah made one little mini run, but they were still
Speaker 1: down sixteen points, and boy Ben Simmons was just dominant.
Speaker 1: I kind of take a little bit of an exception
Speaker 1: where Jimmy was saying like he doesn't get into the matchup.
Speaker 1: I thought he was fired up. There was that one
Speaker 1: sequence where Mitchell stole the ball from the Sixers and Ben,
Speaker 1: with that blazing court quickness, ran them down from behind
Speaker 1: and poked it away, and then shortly there after Simmons
Speaker 1: had it an offense and Mitchell fouled him. I mean,
Speaker 1: you could till there was heightened tensions. You know, there's
Speaker 1: a rivalry. I mean and Ben, you know, how about
Speaker 1: this eighteen thousand fans here and Simmons when he was introduced,
Speaker 1: was you know, I mean drowned out by booze. So
Speaker 1: come on as an athlete, I mean, in hostile territory,
Speaker 1: that's got to fuel you up. And you know, like
Speaker 1: you'll hear from pro athletes, there's nothing better than silencing
Speaker 1: a big opposing crowd, and Simmons had a huge hand
Speaker 1: in that for the six Ers. Coach Brown says JJ
Speaker 1: B and JJ will Reddick was really good making six
Speaker 1: threes and a bead was dominant in spots throughout the game. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I would love to hear if there's any comments from
Speaker 1: JJ Reddick after tonight's game, seeing about the mindset he
Speaker 1: had coming into this one after that shot went awry
Speaker 1: at the end of regulation against the Boston Celtics on Tuesday,
Speaker 1: he was on pointing on target. You mentioned Tom something
Speaker 1: at the end of your previous segment, something that we
Speaker 1: discussed earlier on yesterday evening and feelstening back on the
Speaker 1: East Coast talking about those two individual matchups Dwell Ebid
Speaker 1: Rudy Gobert, Ben Simmons, Donovan Mitchell, And it's not quite
Speaker 1: the same parallel with Ben and Donovan as far as
Speaker 1: their positions, but I would agree, I would say both
Speaker 1: seventy sixers came out with the upper hand. I was
Speaker 1: actually kind of surprised to see that Mitchell shot ten
Speaker 1: of twenty from the field. It seemed like later down
Speaker 1: the stretch he wasn't coming up with the shots that
Speaker 1: Utah needed. And again, Joel and Bead had the upper
Speaker 1: hand on Gobert. He really did. And in terms of
Speaker 1: Joel and Gobert, like their offensive skill set world's apart.
Speaker 1: Gobert doesn't even look to score. He's a roller at
Speaker 1: the rim. He did have a nice left hand jump
Speaker 1: book He certainly was effective at the line starting the
Speaker 1: game four, he made two free throws later split a
Speaker 1: pair toward the end of the game. But you know
Speaker 1: that's that's where like half his scoring come came from
Speaker 1: at the line, whereas a Bead made a pair of
Speaker 1: threes and was really effective down low. They had favors
Speaker 1: on Joel quite a bit. And so yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: when you look at the plus mine, it's no doubt
Speaker 1: about it. I mean, and Bead really out did Rudy
Speaker 1: Gobert there and again you could see that there was
Speaker 1: tension in that deal. One time Joel fell down and
Speaker 1: Gobert just stared at him and didn't offer a hand.
Speaker 1: And I get that. You're not expect you don't have
Speaker 1: to help up the opposition, you see it, and we
Speaker 1: always have a nice show of sportsmanship, but you know,
Speaker 1: there's no I don't think you absolutely have to do,
Speaker 1: especially when you're embroiled in a very physical, tough one
Speaker 1: on one matchup. But no, and then the guy we're
Speaker 1: not mentioning it is Jimmy Butler, and he was pretty
Speaker 1: good throughout this game. And you know there's times that
Speaker 1: Butler gets a younger player that that's not as talented,
Speaker 1: and it's just it is a vast gulf of difference
Speaker 1: between when Butler gets a younger player paired up. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's going to go in and score on that guy.
Speaker 1: He's just got so much experience and so much physical
Speaker 1: ability and just the heart of a champion, and so
Speaker 1: it appears it's a it's a great thing that he's
Speaker 1: a Sixer and he's going to get better and better.
Speaker 1: I think as the weeks and months go forward, seventy
Speaker 1: Sixers beat the Jazz one fourteen ninety seven, I think
Speaker 1: the bench, Thomas and I deserve some love. T J.
Speaker 1: McConnell helped hold the fort down during periods of the
Speaker 1: game when the Sixers were looking to prevent Utah from
Speaker 1: pulling away, and then we saw Mike Muscala Andrey Shammont
Speaker 1: makes some key contributions in that middle stage of the
Speaker 1: third quarter when the Sixers really opened things up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I would say McConnell did more than hold down the Ford.
Speaker 1: I mean he was an aggressor early in the game,
Speaker 1: off the dribble and forcing teams to guard him. And
Speaker 1: then you know, TJ. His range is seventeen and in
Speaker 1: you know, he can make sometimes a little bit outside,
Speaker 1: maybe the top of the key, but off that dribble,
Speaker 1: he creates that space. And if you don't honor a
Speaker 1: shot and they play off him and they try to
Speaker 1: give help, he's going to make you pay. And he
Speaker 1: was perfect early in the game, and you know he
Speaker 1: was matched up with Exam and that's Exam's hard to
Speaker 1: guard x amount of season high, but point for point
Speaker 1: wise for a while there, McConnell was was, you know,
Speaker 1: equaling that And I thought Mike after a tough shooting
Speaker 1: night in Boston, came back and made some nice shots
Speaker 1: out some nice passes. He in turned through an alley
Speaker 1: oop to have Ben Landry Shamon made a three fur
Speaker 1: con play well. Jonah Bolden, although an early foul difficulty
Speaker 1: actually you know, definitely got his legs underneath him and
Speaker 1: played a little bit better. And so that that's going
Speaker 1: to be a big key. Like Coach Brown when he
Speaker 1: talks about the Sixers having the best starting five, it's
Speaker 1: not a coach boasting about his first unit. It's analytically
Speaker 1: borne out by the numbers. You know. I read an
Speaker 1: article in Boston and he acted like the Sixers coach
Speaker 1: was bragging about his top five. It's it's it's a
Speaker 1: numbers thing. I mean, all these teams can use the metrics,
Speaker 1: but it's when that group's out there, not unlike last
Speaker 1: year when the Sixers had the best first five in
Speaker 1: the NBA. So it's going to be a matter oftentimes
Speaker 1: of how the reserves play and where their contributions come from,
Speaker 1: and how they fare against that second unit from the
Speaker 1: opposing team. But a great victory here and now the
Speaker 1: Sixers with two days off, I mean, Brian, these road trips,
Speaker 1: not oftentimes during this trip, the holiday trip into the
Speaker 1: new year, but certainly in years pass these games would
Speaker 1: be played four games and five nights. And with the
Speaker 1: breathing room and the schedule, I mean, the Sixers don't
Speaker 1: play till Sunday night, and so they can get totally
Speaker 1: geared up and ready to go against the Portland team.
Speaker 1: That that's another difficult place to win. But you know,
Speaker 1: this is a hard road trip, but certainly gained a
Speaker 1: victory here should put the Sixers in a good position
Speaker 1: as they go to Portland, the Clippers and Phoenix. Plenty
Speaker 1: of time to load up on your Nike here, Tom,
Speaker 1: enjoy the next couple of days. All right, buddy, good night,
Speaker 1: thank you, all right. He seventy Sixers defeat the Utah

Speaker 1: But if you missed any of the games calls from
Speaker 1: Tom McGinnis, let's recap them right now. Sixers, Well, they
Speaker 1: flew across the country. They were about forty two hundred
Speaker 1: feet above sea level, and it took them a little
Speaker 1: bit to get started in tonight's game. Towards the end
Speaker 1: of the first quarter, it seemed like there are some promise.
Speaker 1: Now Joel has it. He's gonna shoot at three from
Speaker 1: the left rimeter and in so Joe be knocks down
Speaker 1: to three. Sixers cut it to three twenty five twenty two,
Speaker 1: their second made three point or on nine tries, but
Speaker 1: the only issue with that was that the triple from
Speaker 1: Embuda sandwiched in between back back four point sequences for
Speaker 1: the Utah Jazz that sent the Jazz into the second
Speaker 1: quarter with a twenty nine twenty two league Good news
Speaker 1: for the seventy sixers. JJ Reddick was on points and
Speaker 1: now here's Reddick with the bull. Reddick to the corner,
Speaker 1: shooting over Karb for three good and a foul on
Speaker 1: Kyle Karber. So JJ Reddick making a corner three right
Speaker 1: by the Sixers bench, falling out of bounds, and Karber
Speaker 1: with the foul in the Sixers they were not only
Speaker 1: due for a four point play, which they got on
Speaker 1: that sequence right there, but also their first three pointer.
Speaker 1: JJ Reddick checked both boxes. Six Ers after that were
Speaker 1: down two thirty two to thirty, moving on till later
Speaker 1: in the second quarter, Ben Simmons with one of several
Speaker 1: highlights on the Simmons to Biscala between the rings. Now back,
Speaker 1: here's an ally jam by Ben Simmons, Mike Buscotta up
Speaker 1: top and Ben Simmons with a throwdown. Six Ers down
Speaker 1: one at that point forty six forty five. Mike Muscala
Speaker 1: with an important three point of the possession after that
Speaker 1: to put the Sixers in front. Back and forth the
Speaker 1: next couple trips up and down the floor with Utah
Speaker 1: Jass within the seventy. Sixers got a nice kick to
Speaker 1: close the first half, going on a nine to two
Speaker 1: run to take a fifty seven fifty two lead into
Speaker 1: the break. A little bit sloppy on both sides speaking
Speaker 1: the third quarter, but then we saw the same Sixers
Speaker 1: squad we saw at the end of the first half
Speaker 1: kick in the high gear. In the third. Here's Reddick
Speaker 1: for three. Good again. J J Reddick the ball with
Speaker 1: in the lane to Jimmy Butler with his back to
Speaker 1: the basket, kick out the left perimeter, and JJ Reddick
Speaker 1: with two three sandwiched around the time out. He's got
Speaker 1: a team high twenty one, and the Sixers were on
Speaker 1: an eleven and nothing run to take a sixty nine
Speaker 1: fifty five lead. And that was such a key turning point.
Speaker 1: When the Sixers grip control of the game, they would
Speaker 1: only expand the margin as the period went. And the
Speaker 1: Sixers in the half court with the ball and lead
Speaker 1: for three, and that's good. Joe ellen Bead makes it
Speaker 1: ninety three seventy four his second tray. He's got twenty
Speaker 1: one to lead all scorers, and the Sixers were und
Speaker 1: ninety five is seventy nine heading into the fourth got
Speaker 1: a fur con quartmas three point early on in the
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. Some baskets from Jimmy Butler like this one
Speaker 1: and Ben against Gopey into Butler, Jimmy Butler with a
Speaker 1: jab and that you're twoing. The Sixers come to Utah,
Speaker 1: Butler dunks again. Ben Simmons with his twelfth assist. It's
Speaker 1: one eleven ninety three with pre twenty three to go
Speaker 1: in the ball game man three minutes twenty three seconds
Speaker 1: of game time. After that, it was the seventy six
Speaker 1: Ers one fourteen, the Utah Jazz ninety seven. The Sixers
Speaker 1: shot and even fifty percent overall, holding Utah to thirty
Speaker 1: eight and a half percent from the field, thirteen triples
Speaker 1: for the seventy Sixers, eleven for the Jazz. The Sixers
Speaker 1: were outscored by five from the free throw line. They
Speaker 1: had rebounded Utah by three overall and a key area turnovers.
Speaker 1: The Sixers they committed thirteen turnovers in the game, the
Speaker 1: Utah Jazz with sixteen, but the big disparity points scored
Speaker 1: off turnovers. Very welcome flipping of the script. Compared to
Speaker 1: Tuesday's game against the Boston Celtics, Sixers outscored the Jazz
Speaker 1: twenty six to seven in points off of turnovers. JJ
Speaker 1: Reddick a team high with twenty four He was six
Speaker 1: of nine from out the Arcband Simmons his fifth triple
Speaker 1: double of the season, good for second best in the NBA.
Speaker 1: Fourteen points, fourteen rebounds, twelve assists. We should also mention
Speaker 1: three steals. Joel Embiid twenty three points, fifteen boards, six dimes,
Speaker 1: five block shots. He did foull out, but just a
Speaker 1: massive night for Joel Embiid and eighteen points for Jimmy
Speaker 1: Butler seven to thirteen overall from the field, He had

Speaker 1: The Sixers. They sweep the season series from the Utah
Speaker 1: Jazz for a second straight season. They have now won
Speaker 1: four in a row against Utah for the first time
Speaker 1: since the late nineteen eighties. Some good stuff for the
Speaker 1: Sixers in that series. So no games tomorrow, well, I
