Speaker 3: The Raptors one to eighteen, the Sixers one oh five.
Speaker 3: The seventy six Ers postgame show is presented by Parks Casino.
Speaker 3: We are awaiting the Sixers head coach Matt Murphy here
Speaker 3: with you. It was a one to eighteen, one to
Speaker 3: OHO five Sixers loss to the Raptors. They trail the
Speaker 3: season series three to nothing. They'll meet again on March
Speaker 3: thirtieth in Philadelphia for the final time this regular season.
Speaker 3: There were twenty players on the injury report tonight, including
Speaker 3: stars on both sides. Most of the stars, if not all,
Speaker 3: So there are a lot of players that you may
Speaker 3: be less familiar with that we'll hear about in the
Speaker 3: audio highlights in the box score breakdown as we move
Speaker 3: along postgame, Quinton Grimes was the leading scorer with twenty
Speaker 3: nine for the Sixers, So not quite another thirty point
Speaker 3: game for Grimes, but close to it. He did that
Speaker 3: in thirty minutes. Three twenty five plus point scorers for
Speaker 3: the Raptors. It's Aj Lawson, Jared Rodin, and Orlando Robinson.
Speaker 1: There was one other.
Speaker 3: Twenty point scorer in the game, and it was Jeff
Speaker 3: Dalton Junior, the former Raptor of the Sixers and NBA
Speaker 3: career haven minutes off the bench nine for fourteen, shooting
Speaker 3: two for four from three, And let's chat with Tom
Speaker 3: McGuinness as we wait for the coach. It goes the
Speaker 3: way of the Raptors, so they jumped the Sixers in
Speaker 3: the standings for the eleventh spot Tom And it felt
Speaker 3: like the end of the third might have been a
Speaker 3: turning point for the Sixers until it wasn't, because early
Speaker 3: in the fourth there was a coach's challenge and a
Speaker 3: weird push off trip play for Jared Butler that led
Speaker 3: to the Raptors getting a ten point lead. Again, was
Speaker 3: that the ultimate turning point?
Speaker 4: That was certainly his swing, because I be honest, I
Speaker 4: didn't you know, I did not know that that was
Speaker 4: going to be overturned. But you know, my successicked on
Speaker 4: the challenges is nil. But I definitely look like a foul.
Speaker 4: I mean, and when coach like a play later like
Speaker 4: or after the play, he looked at Billy Kennedy and
Speaker 4: the referees, the crew chief, he kind of made a
Speaker 4: shrug and a little bit of almost as like a
Speaker 4: half smile, like an acknowledgment, like, yeah, it probably was
Speaker 4: a call we could have made. So that that was
Speaker 4: a turning point because slightly before that it was eighty
Speaker 4: nine to eighty six, and like you say, and then
Speaker 4: it wasn't, And you know, that was a big, big
Speaker 4: point right there, and then they made another three and
Speaker 4: you know those other plays shortly thereafter, the Sixers quick
Speaker 4: shots and they missed. I mean, that's and that's what
Speaker 4: happened though, with the slightest little thing. And yeah, Toronto
Speaker 4: dominated the middle part of the game, certainly the second quarter,
Speaker 4: and that was a that was a phase certainly that
Speaker 4: benefited them in terms of them jumping back and re
Speaker 4: establishing a double digit lead.
Speaker 3: And even though the Sixers turned the Raptors over twenty
Speaker 3: two times, they made seven threes Philadelphia compared to sixteen
Speaker 3: for Toronto. So there's a lot of truth in that number,
Speaker 3: in those numbers from from three point range. It was
Speaker 3: a career night for so many in this game, but
Speaker 3: including Jeff Dalton Junior, and it was a home coming
Speaker 3: for him. He was only there for one season, but
Speaker 3: for him to get twenty points tonight.
Speaker 1: What did you think of his performance?
Speaker 4: He seemed like really like you almost felt like his shots.
Speaker 4: He went nine of fourteen and you know, he took
Speaker 4: a lot of mid range shots. He did take four threes,
Speaker 4: but those shots like he's able to stop. He's just
Speaker 4: got a scoring knack about him, which mostly reveals itself
Speaker 4: in the G League. But tonight he was really good.
Speaker 4: He was on target, and he's the way he plays
Speaker 4: like you know, you've seen a play where the shot
Speaker 4: it almost is like he fades on every attempt and
Speaker 4: it slows down like his release, and all that is
Speaker 4: is it's kind of a unique delivery the way he
Speaker 4: shoots it. And here's coach, so we better take nurse.
Speaker 5: Takeaways are that the three point line was a humongous
Speaker 5: difference tonight, right, And I thought again, I thought after
Speaker 5: the first quarter, I thought we were doing a decent
Speaker 5: job of getting getting the ball out to open shooters
Speaker 5: and went the whole long time without hitting any and
Speaker 5: then we kind of hit three in a row there,
Speaker 5: but three in a row and end up with seven
Speaker 5: for the game. There's a lot of dry spells in
Speaker 5: there from three, and that really is the difference, you know,
Speaker 5: considering that that we you know, did turn them over
Speaker 5: quite a bit, and you know that, and I didn't
Speaker 5: think our again, our transition offense out of turnovers was
Speaker 5: near good enough tonight either, only twenty points out of
Speaker 5: twenty two turnovers. Right, So I'd say those two things
Speaker 5: offensively were the big, big problems.
Speaker 2: Defensively, I guess guarding the three point line two that
Speaker 2: was kind of what unlocked their run in the second quarter.
Speaker 2: Just kind of what would you.
Speaker 5: See on that kind of Yeah, just again at the half,
Speaker 5: so showed showed some clips and they were just there
Speaker 5: were just you know, mistakes, you know, by our guys
Speaker 5: going under the wrong guys you know, for one thing,
Speaker 5: just not keeping track of the wrong guys there for another.
Speaker 5: You know, a couple couple lot of offensive rebounding situations.
Speaker 5: We kind of kind of a little bit of everything,
Speaker 5: and that's how it adds up to be a bad number.
Speaker 1: You know, jeffed out.
Speaker 2: Had that was a career high for him today, especially
Speaker 2: doing it in this building. I was actually talking to
Speaker 2: him before the game and he mentioned showing that a
Speaker 2: shot is reliable something he really hopes to sort of
Speaker 2: prove down the stretch of the season. Where do you
Speaker 2: feel like he's at with that overall? And then maybe
Speaker 2: I guess what you see from him specifically tonight to.
Speaker 1: Be as efficient.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that that's certainly a growth area for him.
Speaker 5: You know, he's a guy that teams go under a
Speaker 5: lot and we've you know, over the last couple of months,
Speaker 5: you know, tried to tried to say, like, when teams
Speaker 5: go under, you got to you got to be able
Speaker 5: to make them pay, which means pulling that three. He's
Speaker 5: he's I think he's feeling better about his three and
Speaker 5: shooting it with more confidence. I think that adds a
Speaker 5: lot to his game, because he's he is a you know,
Speaker 5: mostly a kind of methodical, crafty inside the line scorer
Speaker 5: for the most part, you know, a couple threes tonight,
Speaker 5: but most of the other stuff was this kind of
Speaker 5: normal stuff that he does.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Drum and Kelly were both at about twenty five minutes.
Speaker 2: Was that what you were hoping to get him at
Speaker 2: or was that just dictated by the way the.
Speaker 1: Game was going?
Speaker 5: Okay, Yeah, I think I think that a couple of things.
Speaker 5: I thought Bono was really good, right, so he his
Speaker 5: his runs were kind of extra extended. I thought just
Speaker 5: in general, the second unit was much much better, and
Speaker 5: they kind of had that good stretch to pull the
Speaker 5: game back, and we kind of left him to start
Speaker 5: the fourth and they got off to a you know
Speaker 5: a little bit of after having that big pullback, they
Speaker 5: had to i think a seven to two in the
Speaker 5: wrong direction. Start to the fourth I remember, right, but
Speaker 5: that that ones probably Bonta just just played really good
Speaker 5: in his in his minutes, and those guys kind of
Speaker 5: sharing that spot just about equally. And Kelly, you know,
Speaker 5: I think he was he was decent. Again, just part
Speaker 5: of the group that that wasn't playing as well as
Speaker 5: the other group probably dictated that a little bit more.
Speaker 4: Yeah, a bit.
Speaker 1: About managing your emotions throughout the season.
Speaker 3: I'm just wondering on these trips back to Toronto specifically,
Speaker 3: have they felt a bit more normal now that you've
Speaker 3: done them a few times.
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, they are.
Speaker 4: They are.
Speaker 5: And and you know, obviously again ten years here, super
Speaker 5: special place for me. I don't know, I'd like, I'm
Speaker 5: a competitive guy that i'd like our team to play
Speaker 5: a little bit better and and uh, you know, you
Speaker 5: want to you kind of want toys, want to get
Speaker 5: get get people, you know a little bit right, But yeah,
Speaker 5: I'm getting I guess I'm getting used to it. I'm
Speaker 5: done done for this year. We'll see what happens next year.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's good.
Speaker 5: All right, thanks everybody.
Speaker 4: Yep.
Speaker 1: Six Ers coach Nick Nurse.
Speaker 3: Murph, I was gonna say one more thing on Jeff
Speaker 3: Dalton Junior and Gina Mizel asked about him after the
Speaker 3: twenty point game. You were talking about his his shot,
Speaker 3: and it's interesting to hear that from Nick Nurse or
Speaker 3: Gina maybe said that.
Speaker 4: She coach always says it better, like, yeah, I'm trying
Speaker 4: to craft an answer. He you know what did he say?
Speaker 4: He's a crafty inside the line score.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's perfect, and that's what we see in Delaware
Speaker 3: a lot late shot clock. Even if there's three seconds,
Speaker 3: he'll be in the mid range and knock it down
Speaker 3: comfortably without you know, any any nervousness. But he is
Speaker 3: for five plus years at that level forty one percent
Speaker 3: from three This year he takes seven threes a game
Speaker 3: down there and makes forty percent of them.
Speaker 1: So he's he's a good shooter.
Speaker 3: I think to your point about the form, there's almost
Speaker 3: a way that it mirrors and maybe not as extreme,
Speaker 3: but Cameron Payne, the former six er from the left side,
Speaker 3: in the sense that his body isn't as angled towards
Speaker 3: the basket as like a Jared McCain. It's a little
Speaker 3: bit like off off angle to the left for a
Speaker 3: right handed shooter. But yeah, Jeff dllten junior with the
Speaker 3: great game, and it's just different in the NBA when
Speaker 3: you come in and you kind of need to make
Speaker 3: your first or second shot if you're only going to
Speaker 3: get a certain number of minutes, except in a game
Speaker 3: like tonight where you get some extended run and tom
Speaker 3: Now it's Indiana on Friday. How about that Halliburton four
Speaker 3: point play to beat Milwaukee they have two nights off.
Speaker 4: Well, I was talking with one of the assistant coaches,
Speaker 4: and you know, they were saying, how like Milwaukee should
Speaker 4: have fouled right then, but Joanna should have fouled him.
Speaker 4: And I didn't watch the game.
Speaker 1: Well they did foul him, but just as he shot
Speaker 1: the three.
Speaker 4: Yeah right, but on so it's an incredible play, but
Speaker 4: an avoidable play. And you know I thought about it,
Speaker 4: even Lopez defending the inbound. So but Haliburtons had a
Speaker 4: terrific stint obviously ever since he got to Indiana. He's
Speaker 4: a great young player. But that felt like that was
Speaker 4: a play that Milwaukee could have averted that up to
Speaker 4: in that scenario. But yeah, no, they're really good. There's
Speaker 4: no doubt about it. They are deep Indiana. You know,
Speaker 4: just kind of watching their boxes and some of their
Speaker 4: highlights from Afar. But any given game, Mathering can be,
Speaker 4: you know, really good. So yeah, it's gonna be a
Speaker 4: tough game. Siakam Turner are gonna be tough.
Speaker 3: They play fast, so the Sixers will need to they
Speaker 3: do adjust to that. And the Sixers were passed in
Speaker 3: the standings by Toronto and Brooklyn because of that divisional
Speaker 3: record tiebreaker. So the Sixers tonight go from eleventh in
Speaker 3: the East through thirteenth in the East at twenty two
Speaker 3: and forty three and in the West. Tim with their
Speaker 3: win over Boston, if you were concerned at all, the
Speaker 3: Oklahoma City Thunder have officially clinched the NBA playoffs.
Speaker 4: Wow, and or Cleveland did it the other night with
Speaker 4: the what they won their division or whatever. But that
Speaker 4: that would sound like a whale of a game, right.
Speaker 4: I don't know how it ended, but I mean, obviously
Speaker 4: a thunder one. But like you were telling me, it
Speaker 4: was eighty eight eighty eight, now.
Speaker 3: Star three up and it was one, eighteen one twelve
Speaker 3: the final for ok See they outscored them thirty twenty
Speaker 3: four and the fourth the Celtics took sixty three threes.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 4: In Boston or in Oklahoma.
Speaker 3: In Boston without Porzingis and without Caruso, but everybody.
Speaker 4: The Celtics have had. They just had the Lakers the
Speaker 4: other night, right, Like, they've really had some interesting matchups
Speaker 4: at home. So yeah, those that's a clash of the Titans.
Speaker 4: With the way this NBA season has gone, So this
Speaker 4: will do it for the Sixers trip Toronto wins the
Speaker 4: first three games at the season series, there's one more game.
Speaker 4: It's the end of the month, March thirtieth. First time
Speaker 4: they've won the season series since twenty two to twenty three.
Speaker 4: I believe, uh and their young guys played really well.
Speaker 4: I thought Robinson and Lawson and Roaden were the difference.
Speaker 4: I mean, obviously they all had twenty five or more.
Speaker 4: But yep, good game for them, and the Sixers lose
Speaker 4: on the road.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you don't have to tell those guys to play hard.
Speaker 3: This is their opportunity for to build something out of
Speaker 3: their careers. And they get the one eighteen one oh
Speaker 3: five win and just the one home game and then
Speaker 3: a long road trip coming Tom. So we'll see yes,
Speaker 3: see you back home.
Speaker 1: Thank you all right, murphodnight. Thanks to Tom McGinnis.
Speaker 3: After the thirteen point loss for the Sixers in Toronto.
Speaker 3: We'll have more of a stat breakdown. We'll hear Tom's
Speaker 3: calls as we replay the game from start to finish
Speaker 3: in the next segment. Then we'll do a stat of
Speaker 3: the game and look at the team totals shooting wise
Speaker 3: as well, and check in on where that Celtic sixty
Speaker 3: three to three point attempts number ranks historically and on
Speaker 3: the season for them.
Speaker 1: But we'll hit a quick break.
Speaker 3: Toronto won eighteen Philadelphia one oh five the final score
Speaker 3: on this Wednesday night, and much more to come on
Speaker 3: the Parks Casino postgame show. As the Sixers were in Toronto.
Speaker 3: Let's do the game from start to finish as called
Speaker 3: by Tom mcguinnis, and then we'll we'll go over some
Speaker 3: of the stats from this game and elsewhere around the NBA.
Speaker 3: But here's how the game sounded tonight as called by Tom.
Speaker 3: Sixers and Raptors in Toronto, Matt Murphy back with you.
Speaker 3: The Sixers were in blue uniforms again, the Raptors in
Speaker 3: red uniforms, and Quinton Grimes his first stint tonight was
Speaker 3: a little shorter than they have been, but he still
Speaker 3: had nine points in the first quarter. As the teams
Speaker 3: were getting used to each.
Speaker 4: Other, Rimes with a high arching shot for the Sixers.
Speaker 4: Six Ers come out of the timeout and pull the
Speaker 4: wood in two Quinton Grimes. Now was seven. Six Ers
Speaker 4: trail nineteen seventeen.
Speaker 3: They would trail twenty nine to twenty three after the first.
Speaker 3: Lonnie Walker the fourth he hit his head on the
Speaker 3: court twenty seconds into his first action in the middle
Speaker 3: of the first quarter, and he did not return tonight
Speaker 3: against the Raptors team that was five and five coming
Speaker 3: in over their last ten games, the Sixers were trying
Speaker 3: to snap a seven game losing streak away from home
Speaker 3: with their forty first different starting lineup of the season.
Speaker 3: That was Grimes, Jared Butler, Kelly Oubre Junior, Justin Edwards,
Speaker 3: and Andre Drummond on a night where seventeen players were
Speaker 3: out between the two teams, including Maxi Embiid, George Yabusele,
Speaker 3: RJ Barrett, Scottie Barnes, Emmanuel. Quickly, the list goes on
Speaker 3: and on. Six Ers were down six after one twenty
Speaker 3: nine twenty three, and the highlight perhaps of the game
Speaker 3: belonged to the Sixers in the second quarter. It was
Speaker 3: a Garrett Temple drive, the veteran playing for the Raptors,
Speaker 3: locked by a dem Bona, which starts the highlight. Jared
Speaker 3: Butler and Ricky Counsel the fourth takes it from there.
Speaker 4: Wow, what a block by a dem Bona outman Ricky Counsel.
Speaker 4: He flies in with a hanging right hand jam. What
Speaker 4: a play by this are Morgan and Morgan. Moment of
Speaker 4: the game. Ricky Council throw it down and Bona. You
Speaker 4: could hear the platter of the basketball pop from pick
Speaker 4: across the court, flatter up the earth.
Speaker 3: What it call by Tom Council with eleven points in
Speaker 3: the game after tying a career high with nineteen on
Speaker 3: Monday in Toronto in Atlanta, eleven point game for Council
Speaker 3: in thirty three minutes off the bench. It was a
Speaker 3: two point margin Toronto twenty nine, Philadelphia twenty seven early
Speaker 3: in the second quarter, but the Raptors would control the
Speaker 3: second quarter. They would ultimately score forty points in it.
Speaker 3: Aj Lawson, the Brampton, Ontario native, was coming off a
Speaker 3: career high thirty two points with seven threes on Monday
Speaker 3: in their win over Washington, and he picked up on
Speaker 3: that in the second.
Speaker 4: Quarter Boston Fires at three and then got it into
Speaker 4: the middle of an pearl back out to the left
Speaker 4: side aj Lawson with his second three. They have three
Speaker 4: players with seven.
Speaker 3: Lawson had some clutch buckets later in this game two.
Speaker 3: He played collegiately in the States at the University of
Speaker 3: South Carol from twenty eighteen to twenty one. He's mostly
Speaker 3: been in the G League, though he's been part of
Speaker 3: the NBA teams with Minnesota, Dallas and now his hometown Raptors.
Speaker 3: From there, they went on a twenty five to six
Speaker 3: scoring run that stretched the lead to twenty two fifty
Speaker 3: seven thirty five on a Jared Rodin three pointer that
Speaker 3: prompted a Sixers time out. Quinton Grimes would score six
Speaker 3: straight points after the timeout, and the score at halftime
Speaker 3: was the Raptors sixty nine and the Sixers fifty five.
Speaker 3: It was a forty thirty two second quarter in favor
Speaker 3: of Toronto. Third quarter, with less than four minutes to
Speaker 3: go in the third, the Sixers had a steal and
Speaker 3: a score, a casual two hand slam for Kelly Oubre
Speaker 3: Junior on a thirteen point night for him that made
Speaker 3: it a ten point game and forced a Raptors timeout
Speaker 3: at eighty four seventy four and another steal and slam.
Speaker 3: This time it was the rookie had dem Bona going
Speaker 3: coast to coast.
Speaker 4: Casseleton into the lane, brought it down at traffic at
Speaker 4: den Bona steals it. Sixer is with Bona down the
Speaker 4: laye oh bad a left hand jamp by a den
Speaker 4: Bona won a play as he drives it and scores it.
Speaker 4: He is four for four and eighty seven eighty one.
Speaker 3: Now is to count a den Bona in twenty three
Speaker 3: minutes as a Sixers reserve thirteen points, nine rebounds, two
Speaker 3: block shots and a steal. He and the Sixers with
Speaker 3: his help. The Sixers out scored the Raptors in the
Speaker 3: third thirty one twenty and it was an eighty nine
Speaker 3: eighty six game heading to the fourth quarter, a one
Speaker 3: possession game a few minutes in is what Tom and
Speaker 3: I talked about. The Sixers were down eight with about
Speaker 3: eight to play when Jared Butler tripped, fell to the ground.
Speaker 1: Was he pushed, was he tripped? We don't know.
Speaker 3: It went uncalled and Jared Odin was able to get
Speaker 3: a dunk and then later a three, one hundred and
Speaker 3: one eighty eight lead for Toronto. The Seaton Hall product
Speaker 3: from twenty eighteen to twenty twenty two, he played there.
Speaker 3: His career high coming into tonight was sixteen points last
Speaker 3: season for Detroit in San Antonio. And how about a
Speaker 3: twenty five point twelve rebound career night with four steals
Speaker 3: for Jared Rodin in forty three minutes. It was also
Speaker 3: a career night for Jeff Dalton, junior of the Sixers,
Speaker 3: and off an offensive rebound, going for his first twenty
Speaker 3: point game in the.
Speaker 4: NBA grime sit doubt, and Jeff has played big minutes
Speaker 4: here off the dribble, on the move, stops, bit post,
Speaker 4: left side mid range two count it.
Speaker 1: It's good.
Speaker 4: He is eight of eleven with eighteen points in twenty
Speaker 4: two minutes of action a seven point game six Ers
Speaker 4: cut it.
Speaker 3: That set him up for his first twenty point game
Speaker 3: on the rebound of a council shot to get twenty.
Speaker 3: He did get there when he scored twenty the Sixers
Speaker 3: down one zero three ninety six. And Dalton played for
Speaker 3: Toronto twenty five games. It's his second most with any
Speaker 3: team in his NBA career. He started with Golden State,
Speaker 3: then Milwaukee, then Orlando, then the twenty five games with
Speaker 3: Toronto in twenty twenty two twenty three. Well Tonight was
Speaker 3: his forty fifth game with the Sixers over the past
Speaker 3: two seasons. He scores a career high twenty points in it,
Speaker 3: but clutch baskets as mentioned, Lawson rode in on their
Speaker 3: career nights of twenty eight and twenty five points respectively,
Speaker 3: Orlando Robinson with a career high twenty five points and
Speaker 3: twelve rebounds off the Toronto bench. They go on to
Speaker 3: win one to eighteen, one oh five at home. Now
Speaker 3: the records are important to note because the Raptors improved
Speaker 3: a twenty three and forty three and the Sixers fall
Speaker 3: to twenty two and forty three, So that impacted the standings,
Speaker 3: which we'll get to on the other side. We will
Speaker 3: also look at the team totals shooting wise, select a
Speaker 3: stat of the game, but definitely check in on those standings.
Speaker 3: And that historic Boston Knight from three point range tonight,
Speaker 3: we'll do that after a break. It was the Raptors
Speaker 3: one to eighteen, the Sixers one oh five tonight in Toronto,
Speaker 3: and this is the seventy six Ers postgame Show presented
Speaker 3: by Parks Casino. It's the Parks Casino Postgame Show. After
Speaker 3: a one to eighteen one oh five loss for the
Speaker 3: Sixers to the Raptors on the road the Celtics game
Speaker 3: that I mentioned before we get into wrapping up the
Speaker 3: Sixers game, that Celtics took sixty three three pointers and
Speaker 3: we were going to look into that one historically, which
Speaker 3: we did. They lost to the Thunder one to eighteen
Speaker 3: one twelve tonight, as the Thunder clinch playoff spot. Officially
Speaker 3: in the top six, they lead the West here on
Speaker 3: March twelfth, six point win in Boston in a game
Speaker 3: that the Celtics went twenty of sixty three from three.
Speaker 3: At first glance, it appeared that the Celtics had tied
Speaker 3: an NBA record for three pointers attempted in a game
Speaker 3: at sixty three, but they're the third team to do that,
Speaker 3: and the Houston Rockets in twenty nineteen have the record,
Speaker 3: and they had two games above sixty three. According to
Speaker 3: stat muse so January of twenty nineteen, the Rockets had
Speaker 3: sixty eight attempts in a game and seventy attempts in
Speaker 3: a game a couple days before that, they were thirty
Speaker 3: seven percent in the sixty eight attempt game, and they
Speaker 3: were thirty three percent in the seventy attempt game, making
Speaker 3: twenty five and then twenty three in those games. So yeah,
Speaker 3: the Celtics, they had a lot more success with it
Speaker 3: in the first half. They took twenty two in the
Speaker 3: first quarter. They ended up going eight to fifty from
Speaker 3: three point range in the second half. Oh, that's a
Speaker 3: combined number from their two losses to the Thunder this season,
Speaker 3: so they haven't been able to make them when it
Speaker 3: counts against Oklahoma City. But back to our game, Matt
Speaker 3: Murphy with you. The Sixers and the Raptors. Quentin Grimes
Speaker 3: scored a game high twenty nine points. It was Castleton
Speaker 3: of Toronto that had the most rebounds, with a career
Speaker 3: high fourteen. He had seven points with that in forty minutes.
Speaker 3: Castleton's first NBA start. He's been on a couple of
Speaker 3: ten day contracts there. He's playing in the G League
Speaker 3: with the Magic Where in Delaware. Earlier this year, he
Speaker 3: scored a combined fifty points against the Blue Coats over
Speaker 3: two games and had five blocks between those two games.
Speaker 3: Was just a dominant force. Jared Butler had a game
Speaker 3: high eight assists for Philadelphia with nine points and six rebounds.
Speaker 3: Jared Rodin for Toronto had a game best four steals
Speaker 3: with a career high twenty five points and twelve rebounds.
Speaker 3: Orlando Robinson and aj Lawson had twenty five plus each
Speaker 3: for Toronto off the bench. Jeff Douton Junior a career
Speaker 3: high twenty off the Sixers bench. Bona with thirteen, Council
Speaker 3: with eleven. Ubre had thirteen. In the starting lineup for
Speaker 3: the Sixers, Andre Drummond and Justin Edwards Sixers starters with
Speaker 3: four points each. They shot forty three percent as a team.
Speaker 3: The Mixers did twenty percent from three was what Nick
Speaker 3: Nurse's main takeaway was seven of thirty five compared to
Speaker 3: Toronto's sixteen of forty, which is forty percent from three
Speaker 3: point range, and the Sixers at the free throw line
Speaker 3: they missed six of twenty two. Raptors missed four of
Speaker 3: eighteen at the line, shooting seventy eight percent there, forty
Speaker 3: percent from three as mentioned, and forty four percent from
Speaker 3: the field forty four for one hundred compared to the
Speaker 3: Sixers forty one of ninety six. Our stat of the
Speaker 3: game is the rebounding Toronto fifty nine, Philadelphia forty. And
Speaker 3: the reason that that is selected obviously that's a pretty
Speaker 3: big disparity, but it's because the Raptors were coming off
Speaker 3: a game in which they had a franchise record seventy
Speaker 3: three rebounds, so we wanted to see how they would
Speaker 3: bounce back or build off that. I should say they
Speaker 3: had seventy three on Monday against Washington, the most for
