<v Speaker 1>and analysis from the seventy sixers previous game. The short

0:00:16.400 --> 0:00:19.639
<v Speaker 1>handed seventy Sixers come up short today against the Phoenix

0:00:19.680 --> 0:00:22.560
<v Speaker 1>Suns by the score of one thirty to one seventeen.

0:00:22.600 --> 0:00:25.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm Brian Seltzer. This is our postgame coverage. We expect

0:00:25.720 --> 0:00:28.040
<v Speaker 1>to hear from head coach Brett Brown in just a

0:00:28.040 --> 0:00:31.080
<v Speaker 1>few moments. Seventy sixers despite the defeat in a game

0:00:31.080 --> 0:00:33.640
<v Speaker 1>in which they did not have obviously Ben Simmons, but

0:00:33.720 --> 0:00:38.800
<v Speaker 1>also no Joel Embiid, Josh Richardson, Al Horford or Tobias Harris.

0:00:39.200 --> 0:00:42.120
<v Speaker 1>To their credit, they played with spirit, they played with toughness.

0:00:42.280 --> 0:00:45.640
<v Speaker 1>I thought there was a very nice edge about them

0:00:45.680 --> 0:00:48.159
<v Speaker 1>and with some grit. Just did not have enough. A

0:00:48.200 --> 0:00:50.800
<v Speaker 1>big second half for Devin Booker scored twenty one of

0:00:50.840 --> 0:00:54.120
<v Speaker 1>his thirty five points that helped sink the seventy sixers.

0:00:54.200 --> 0:00:57.360
<v Speaker 1>Mkal Bridges had a really solid game with twenty four

0:00:57.480 --> 0:01:01.160
<v Speaker 1>Dario charts with eighteen nine and four for the Suns,

0:01:01.200 --> 0:01:03.320
<v Speaker 1>and the seventy Sixers were not able to hang on.

0:01:03.400 --> 0:01:05.240
<v Speaker 1>They gave up thirty five points of the Suns in

0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:07.840
<v Speaker 1>the fourth quarter, after giving up thirty two points in

0:01:07.920 --> 0:01:11.080
<v Speaker 1>the third and forty in the second quarter. After jumping

0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:13.880
<v Speaker 1>out to a four point lead. After a quarter of play,

0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:17.240
<v Speaker 1>Sixers lose to Phoenix one thirty one seventeen. Phoenix is

0:01:17.280 --> 0:01:19.560
<v Speaker 1>now seven oh. In the bubble, the Sixers are three

0:01:19.560 --> 0:01:22.559
<v Speaker 1>and three. Here via zoom is Brett Brown. But yes,

0:01:22.800 --> 0:01:24.760
<v Speaker 1>he said, do you have a preference of who we play?

0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:28.000
<v Speaker 1>And he said, acknowledging that you will not divulge who

0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:32.880
<v Speaker 1>that is. Do you have a preference? Yeah? No? And

0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:34.800
<v Speaker 1>how how are you going to last a couple of

0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:40.480
<v Speaker 1>games to you know, prepare for the playoffs? Right? Um,

0:01:41.120 --> 0:01:45.200
<v Speaker 1>to try to find common denominators in the games that

0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:50.840
<v Speaker 1>we have coming up that that are transferable to you know,

0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:57.400
<v Speaker 1>specifics um with with you know, projected opponents whatever. Like.

0:01:57.440 --> 0:01:59.640
<v Speaker 1>I feel like we did that tonight. We were able

0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:02.960
<v Speaker 1>to connect some of the dots on things that will

0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:07.800
<v Speaker 1>be transferable to the playoffs, make Keith points on areas

0:02:07.840 --> 0:02:10.840
<v Speaker 1>that I think are going to be most important, with

0:02:10.880 --> 0:02:13.560
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of detail on you know, guessing out

0:02:14.080 --> 0:02:17.000
<v Speaker 1>as too far as who those teams that we may

0:02:17.080 --> 0:02:20.120
<v Speaker 1>play would look like, what they what it would equal.

0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:24.640
<v Speaker 1>And so I feel comfortable that like, for instance, although

0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:27.880
<v Speaker 1>we didn't have a lot of our starting players tonight,

0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:32.240
<v Speaker 1>like that we made we made positive strides. Um I

0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:37.200
<v Speaker 1>get into specifics about the personnel and um, you know,

0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:41.440
<v Speaker 1>the individuals, I'm sure later in this interview, but in general,

0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:45.239
<v Speaker 1>I think that that that we can still do things

0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:49.040
<v Speaker 1>that point toward, um, trying to get better when the

0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:59.600
<v Speaker 1>playoffs come around. Serena, you're next, Hey, could you talked

0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:02.640
<v Speaker 1>pretty is about this being an opportunity for Matisse defensively?

0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:04.560
<v Speaker 1>Obviously you know he got in foul trouble early. But

0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:08.400
<v Speaker 1>what did you take away from his performance defensively? I

0:03:08.440 --> 0:03:12.560
<v Speaker 1>think one of the areas that I feel like he

0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:15.359
<v Speaker 1>can learn from the most, how do you play with

0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:21.320
<v Speaker 1>five fouls? And I thought that he was so you know,

0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:23.600
<v Speaker 1>trying to do the right thing and try and not

0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:27.800
<v Speaker 1>to foul out that you know, BOOKA could go up

0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:30.600
<v Speaker 1>kind of easily. And I think that and I get

0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:34.400
<v Speaker 1>why he would think that. But when we go into

0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:38.320
<v Speaker 1>sort of the the next world of the playoffs, when

0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:40.960
<v Speaker 1>I look at it, like, who are my best defensive

0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:43.720
<v Speaker 1>wings now that you don't have been. Matissa is clearly

0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:45.880
<v Speaker 1>amongst that. You know, I think Glenn Robinson's got a

0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:48.040
<v Speaker 1>shot at being in that group. I think I know

0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:50.040
<v Speaker 1>Jay Rich is a part of that group. And so

0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:52.640
<v Speaker 1>you start like playing that game in the event that

0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:55.880
<v Speaker 1>foul trouble happens. How can you play with foul trouble

0:03:56.200 --> 0:03:59.000
<v Speaker 1>because sometimes you're just gonna have to. And I thought

0:03:59.040 --> 0:04:03.160
<v Speaker 1>that in general was pretty good. I thought that specific

0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:07.040
<v Speaker 1>thing that I'm talking about, I think that's a transferable lesson,

0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:12.800
<v Speaker 1>especially as the playoffs become closer. Yeah, seventy six was

0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:16.040
<v Speaker 1>rookie Matisse Thyble seven points, three or four from the field,

0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:19.400
<v Speaker 1>two rebounds and a block shot, a great play on

0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:22.120
<v Speaker 1>DeAndre eight and earlier in the game. He was the

0:04:22.160 --> 0:04:25.520
<v Speaker 1>first seventy sixer who was assigned to Devin Booker, and

0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:28.159
<v Speaker 1>Booker got off to a slow starting today's game, especially

0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:30.760
<v Speaker 1>in the first quarter and in general the first half,

0:04:31.040 --> 0:04:33.680
<v Speaker 1>But with about two and a half minutes not even

0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:36.760
<v Speaker 1>gone by in the third quarter, batistible on back to

0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:40.120
<v Speaker 1>back whistles picked up personal fouls number four and five,

0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:41.920
<v Speaker 1>and he had to sit for a good portion of

0:04:41.960 --> 0:04:44.480
<v Speaker 1>the third quarter, came back on the fourth, but by

0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:46.960
<v Speaker 1>that point Booker had gotten going and so had the

0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:49.120
<v Speaker 1>Phoenix Suns as they defeated the seventy six was one

0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:52.840
<v Speaker 1>thirty to one seventeen. We know how good defensively Matisse

0:04:52.880 --> 0:04:55.600
<v Speaker 1>Stible can be. He got another great test today against

0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:58.560
<v Speaker 1>a young All Star in Devin Booker, who finished with

0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:01.400
<v Speaker 1>thirty five points in the game, the third straight thirty

0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:05.080
<v Speaker 1>five point performance for Devin Booker inside the bubble for

0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:08.400
<v Speaker 1>the undefeated Phoenix Suns. But that is a valuable lesson

0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:11.719
<v Speaker 1>and it speaks with the microcosm theme of today's game.

0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:14.320
<v Speaker 1>What did Brett Brown want to see? Without many of

0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:17.640
<v Speaker 1>his regulars available to him today, on the front end

0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:19.560
<v Speaker 1>of a back to back and with the seventy Sixers

0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:22.120
<v Speaker 1>pretty much looking like they're going to settle into that

0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:25.080
<v Speaker 1>sixth spot, you wanted to see other guys play loose,

0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:29.799
<v Speaker 1>play free, get into a rhythm, learn more. With limited

0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:32.599
<v Speaker 1>time available for the Sixers before the playoffs begin next week,

0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:35.880
<v Speaker 1>so a learning opportunity for Matise Thible. I thought Alec

0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:38.720
<v Speaker 1>Burks played well again twenty three points, continued to be

0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:41.760
<v Speaker 1>aggressive out of the backcourt, for the seventy Sixers, his

0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:45.279
<v Speaker 1>third straight game with at least twenty points. And also

0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:47.560
<v Speaker 1>you got to give credit to houl Nato. He was

0:05:47.600 --> 0:05:49.840
<v Speaker 1>a real spark plug for the Sixers in a game

0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:51.880
<v Speaker 1>in which they were shorthanded off the bench he came in.

0:05:51.880 --> 0:05:54.920
<v Speaker 1>He played twenty five minutes, nine to eighteen from the field,

0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:57.800
<v Speaker 1>twenty two points, tying a career high. He also had

0:05:57.800 --> 0:06:01.479
<v Speaker 1>four assists. And then there was Man the Mighty Kyle

0:06:01.560 --> 0:06:06.719
<v Speaker 1>O'Quinn nine points, ten rebounds, eleven assists and a made

0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:10.280
<v Speaker 1>wing jumper short with time running out of what would

0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:13.880
<v Speaker 1>have been I think, by all accounts an improbable triple

0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:16.680
<v Speaker 1>double for the veteran big man, But that should not

0:06:16.760 --> 0:06:20.240
<v Speaker 1>take away from what was a productive afternoon for Kyle O'Quinn,

0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:24.640
<v Speaker 1>very versatile, putting both his rebounding and passing touches on display.

0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:28.760
<v Speaker 1>Shake Milton limited to eight points, four of twelve from

0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:31.719
<v Speaker 1>the field, fifteen for Glenn Robinson the third and a

0:06:31.800 --> 0:06:35.080
<v Speaker 1>dozen for fur Concorkmaz who was three for seven from

0:06:35.080 --> 0:06:37.960
<v Speaker 1>outside the arc. Seventy six Ers fall victim. They're the

0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:41.479
<v Speaker 1>latest victim to these still unbeaten Phoenix Suns, Phoenix Wents

0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:44.719
<v Speaker 1>this one today, one thirty to one seventeen. Tom McGinnis

0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:46.960
<v Speaker 1>had they call this one at the center. Tom. Part

0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:48.800
<v Speaker 1>of the goal today, as Brett Brown detailed to you,

0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:51.240
<v Speaker 1>was to get some of the other guys bench players

0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:54.280
<v Speaker 1>into a rhythm playing loose and free. We saw some

0:06:54.320 --> 0:06:57.359
<v Speaker 1>really good efforts from the likes of Kyle O'Quinn Alec Burkson,

0:06:57.560 --> 0:07:00.560
<v Speaker 1>who will Nato put on a nifty show as well. No, definitely,

0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:03.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean I thought for a big portion, maybe saved

0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:05.800
<v Speaker 1>for the last four or five minutes, the Sixers had

0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:08.160
<v Speaker 1>a chance to win this game, and you know, they

0:07:08.160 --> 0:07:10.440
<v Speaker 1>were shot for shot with one of the hottest teams

0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:13.560
<v Speaker 1>in the NBA with the you know, the deep reserves

0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:16.640
<v Speaker 1>of their roster and his coach Brown noted during his

0:07:16.680 --> 0:07:20.520
<v Speaker 1>postgame briefing that there was a lot of individual performances

0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:23.880
<v Speaker 1>that you hope can parlay into key roles, you know,

0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:27.640
<v Speaker 1>in the postseason, Like you say, especially Netto, I thought

0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:30.960
<v Speaker 1>he was really amazing. There were multiple times he got

0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:33.760
<v Speaker 1>into pick and rolls where he got switched and they

0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:36.080
<v Speaker 1>did and you know it was like DeAndre eton gardenhim

0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:37.720
<v Speaker 1>and he was still able to knife in there and

0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:40.800
<v Speaker 1>wiggler around and get the reverse and then Robinson played well.

0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:43.800
<v Speaker 1>I thought Kylo Quinn really played well from the beginning.

0:07:43.840 --> 0:07:46.480
<v Speaker 1>Mike Scott, although he didn't play late, showed that he

0:07:46.520 --> 0:07:49.800
<v Speaker 1>could be a big time scorer in terms of how

0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:52.120
<v Speaker 1>he started out. I believe he was five or seven

0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:55.400
<v Speaker 1>knocking down that three ball and Burke's becomes the first

0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:58.040
<v Speaker 1>sixer reserve since Daddy is shung back in eleven with

0:07:58.560 --> 0:08:01.840
<v Speaker 1>twenty plus points in three straight games, so he is

0:08:01.880 --> 0:08:03.960
<v Speaker 1>showing that he too could be counted on to score

0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:06.840
<v Speaker 1>off the bench. A lot of positives, not enough defense,

0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:10.560
<v Speaker 1>maybe on Booker toward the stretch, Batistable was in foul

0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:14.000
<v Speaker 1>difficulty and they moved that ball around. Bridges played well.

0:08:14.040 --> 0:08:16.440
<v Speaker 1>I thought Dario played well at Cameron Payne. Although not

0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:19.520
<v Speaker 1>big numbers for them, off the bench, played well and

0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:21.480
<v Speaker 1>you can't count out Rubio. I thought he played well

0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:24.760
<v Speaker 1>for Phoenix. Also Sons over the seventy six ers one

0:08:24.960 --> 0:08:27.440
<v Speaker 1>thirty to one seventeen. We heard Brett Brown say the

0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:29.960
<v Speaker 1>learning lesson from Matisse Stable today was figuring out how

0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:32.040
<v Speaker 1>to play when you're in foul trouble. What do you think,

0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:34.720
<v Speaker 1>Team Mac of the defense that Thible helped provide on

0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:36.559
<v Speaker 1>Devin Booker when he was out there on the court,

0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:39.800
<v Speaker 1>especially in that first half. Well, I think the point

0:08:39.880 --> 0:08:42.480
<v Speaker 1>that coach made is so valid because he was playing

0:08:42.520 --> 0:08:44.960
<v Speaker 1>off and you know it was a little bit easier.

0:08:44.960 --> 0:08:47.320
<v Speaker 1>But you know, my heart goes out to thible. He

0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:51.400
<v Speaker 1>gets the worst calls. Like Al McGuire, the great college

0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:54.120
<v Speaker 1>basketball coach at Marquette, turned into an announcer repaired with

0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:56.720
<v Speaker 1>dick Enberg, and he used to joke about the best

0:08:56.720 --> 0:09:00.199
<v Speaker 1>thing about a freshman is he becomes a sophomore. Well,

0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:02.360
<v Speaker 1>and that is they don't make mistakes for me. And

0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:05.199
<v Speaker 1>I've actually spoken to him Matisse about this. When you're

0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:07.280
<v Speaker 1>a second year player, you're not going to get all

0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:10.440
<v Speaker 1>these calls against because man, oh brother, he gets so

0:09:10.559 --> 0:09:13.680
<v Speaker 1>many against him. His last foul, he got elbowed in

0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:16.880
<v Speaker 1>the head by Booker and he got called for the foul.

0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:19.520
<v Speaker 1>So what Booker does is he gets you in his

0:09:19.600 --> 0:09:22.080
<v Speaker 1>hip pocket. In other words, as a defender, you end

0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:24.760
<v Speaker 1>up behind him. He did this to Robinson countless times,

0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:28.840
<v Speaker 1>and then he's got you because he's two dribbles away

0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:31.080
<v Speaker 1>from a lay in. But at the same time, like

0:09:31.120 --> 0:09:33.520
<v Speaker 1>a guard, like the coach calls on the live ball

0:09:33.559 --> 0:09:36.280
<v Speaker 1>guard or whatever. He's got the bounce, he's surveying the

0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:38.320
<v Speaker 1>scene's gonna kick it out the bridges, he's gonna throw

0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:40.560
<v Speaker 1>it to the roller eighton or oh, by the way,

0:09:40.600 --> 0:09:42.800
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna shoot it. And even though he didn't shoot

0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:45.840
<v Speaker 1>it all that well. Speaking of Devin Booker, going eleven

0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:48.920
<v Speaker 1>of twenty four, he made eleven free throws. He's just

0:09:49.040 --> 0:09:51.920
<v Speaker 1>so talented. Here he goes over thirty points again. So

0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:55.360
<v Speaker 1>Thible had his hands full. And Booker's been doing it

0:09:55.880 --> 0:09:58.280
<v Speaker 1>to a lot of different players around the NBA. But

0:09:58.559 --> 0:10:00.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, hey, look, Thible is one of the those players,

0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:03.400
<v Speaker 1>as Coach Brown said post game, that you know when

0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:05.920
<v Speaker 1>you go up against the Browns and the Tatums and

0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:09.520
<v Speaker 1>the Haywards and the Walkers of Boston and some of

0:10:09.520 --> 0:10:13.040
<v Speaker 1>these great teams, you know, with great individual scores. He's

0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:14.960
<v Speaker 1>definitely a piece. I mean, that's why the Sixers went

0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:17.360
<v Speaker 1>out and got him. He's had an outstanding rookie year

0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:20.640
<v Speaker 1>in that regard with deflections and steals and giving you

0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:23.920
<v Speaker 1>a shot against some of these other teams top players,

0:10:24.320 --> 0:10:27.720
<v Speaker 1>particularly the wing players. He's gonna be fine. It's just

0:10:27.760 --> 0:10:30.719
<v Speaker 1>a foul difficulty has been an issue and sometimes as

0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:33.840
<v Speaker 1>I say, not of his own doing up. Next time

0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:38.560
<v Speaker 1>for these seventy sixers, of course, defending NBA champion Toronto Raptors,

0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:41.360
<v Speaker 1>which have done well, only losing one game inside the

0:10:41.360 --> 0:10:44.240
<v Speaker 1>bubble so far, a game against the Boston Celtics, and

0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:46.160
<v Speaker 1>at least in their game notes Team AC looking ahead,

0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:49.600
<v Speaker 1>they have been men named van Valet, Lowry, Yassaal Siakam

0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:53.120
<v Speaker 1>and and Anobi in their projected starting lineup. So another

0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:55.600
<v Speaker 1>test for the seventy sixers awaits and about twenty four

0:10:55.640 --> 0:10:59.200
<v Speaker 1>hours time well and again championship pedigree. So they lose

0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:01.679
<v Speaker 1>the best play on their team last year and one

0:11:01.679 --> 0:11:04.040
<v Speaker 1>of the best obviously best players in the NBA and Leonard,

0:11:04.480 --> 0:11:07.679
<v Speaker 1>and yet all those other guys were right there and

0:11:07.760 --> 0:11:11.079
<v Speaker 1>they produced and that gives them confidence. Nick Nurse too,

0:11:11.400 --> 0:11:15.600
<v Speaker 1>And they have really been incredible this year, particularly prior

0:11:15.640 --> 0:11:18.080
<v Speaker 1>to the hiatus. And now they were the first team

0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:20.839
<v Speaker 1>down there, right they went to Fort Myers. They've been

0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:24.280
<v Speaker 1>at it. They're solid, They're rock solid. Kyle I believe

0:11:24.360 --> 0:11:27.480
<v Speaker 1>Kyle Lowry spent the first few weeks of the pandemic

0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:30.280
<v Speaker 1>here in Philadelphia, and he came back fit as a

0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:33.199
<v Speaker 1>fiddle and raring to go. He's getting up there. And

0:11:33.240 --> 0:11:36.760
<v Speaker 1>then Van Fleet is having a tremendous year and see Akam,

0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:39.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, another tremendous year. Marcusol looked like he came

0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:43.440
<v Speaker 1>back fitter during the restart. And they're not going anywhere.

0:11:43.480 --> 0:11:45.880
<v Speaker 1>They're going to be a tough out. And again this

0:11:45.960 --> 0:11:47.920
<v Speaker 1>is one of the chief rivals along with the Knicks

0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:50.720
<v Speaker 1>and the Nuts and of course the division rival Boston Celtics,

0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:54.600
<v Speaker 1>but the Raptors and Sixers and the Toronto has dominated

0:11:54.640 --> 0:11:57.240
<v Speaker 1>the series, you know. So for the Sixers, who's to

0:11:57.240 --> 0:11:59.200
<v Speaker 1>say where the lineup will be tomorrow with some of

0:11:59.200 --> 0:12:02.920
<v Speaker 1>these guys resting, but in the end that the Raptors

0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:04.800
<v Speaker 1>are not going anywhere. So it would be a big

0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:07.360
<v Speaker 1>challenge of for the Sixers in a great victory if

0:12:07.360 --> 0:12:09.560
<v Speaker 1>they could pull it off and try to rebuild a

0:12:09.559 --> 0:12:12.280
<v Speaker 1>little momentum as they get into that final game on Friday,

0:12:12.320 --> 0:12:15.080
<v Speaker 1>the weekend and then the starting of the playoffs on

0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:18.880
<v Speaker 1>Monday the seventeenth. No doubt, tom we'll do it again tomorrow,

0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:22.080
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, Bryan, goodnight. Without five of their top players

0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:25.120
<v Speaker 1>have with the seventy six Ers fair against the red

0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:28.080
<v Speaker 1>hot Phoenix Suns game got off to a really good started,

0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:31.800
<v Speaker 1>very spirited start, thanks in part two Matisse thybal Phoenix

0:12:31.840 --> 0:12:35.600
<v Speaker 1>back in front by one twelve eleven Sons eight minutes

0:12:35.640 --> 0:12:38.600
<v Speaker 1>to go on the opening quarter, backdoor cut, Thible breaking

0:12:38.720 --> 0:12:41.400
<v Speaker 1>free nice passed by a quick because when he threw

0:12:41.440 --> 0:12:44.480
<v Speaker 1>it he actually didn't have the separation, and Thibal with

0:12:44.559 --> 0:12:46.959
<v Speaker 1>a burst scores that. It was back and forth between

0:12:46.960 --> 0:12:49.280
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers and Sons early on that gave the Sixers

0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:52.760
<v Speaker 1>a thirteen to twelve lead. Norvelle Pell helped to extend

0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:55.760
<v Speaker 1>the Sixer run. Building off the high screen. Milt keeps it,

0:12:55.840 --> 0:12:59.200
<v Speaker 1>drives a left hand layup, no good rebound. Pell powers

0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:01.319
<v Speaker 1>it up, but in a gone over to contest the

0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:04.559
<v Speaker 1>shot by shake and Norbell Pell with an offensive rebound

0:13:04.640 --> 0:13:07.160
<v Speaker 1>at a putback that gave the seventy six Ers a

0:13:07.280 --> 0:13:09.840
<v Speaker 1>twenty one to twelve lead. The Sixers would be in

0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:13.000
<v Speaker 1>front twenty seven twenty three after a quarter of play.

0:13:13.080 --> 0:13:16.679
<v Speaker 1>In the second quarter, these Sons started to get a

0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:19.679
<v Speaker 1>little bit closer. Mike Scott had a very strong first

0:13:19.720 --> 0:13:22.280
<v Speaker 1>half and this was one of his highlights. Sixers ball.

0:13:22.320 --> 0:13:25.160
<v Speaker 1>Here's Burkes with it. Burke's outside to Scott. He's wide

0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:28.360
<v Speaker 1>open for three and it's good boy Phoenix leaving the

0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:32.240
<v Speaker 1>hottest six are open and Scott drills his third three.

0:13:32.440 --> 0:13:35.839
<v Speaker 1>He's six of eight fifteen points sixers where I had

0:13:35.880 --> 0:13:38.079
<v Speaker 1>fifty one to forty eight, but the Sun's turned thing

0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:41.480
<v Speaker 1>around and took a sixty three fifty eight lead into

0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:43.920
<v Speaker 1>the locker room. And quarter number three we have to

0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:46.280
<v Speaker 1>give some love to a highlight for a guy who

0:13:46.360 --> 0:13:49.960
<v Speaker 1>had a well rounded, versatile game, a big man, a

0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:53.560
<v Speaker 1>veteran Kyle O'Quinn, nearly a triple double, and this was

0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:55.920
<v Speaker 1>one of his baskets out top the shake and not

0:13:56.040 --> 0:13:58.440
<v Speaker 1>a kylo quint top of the arc one dribble handoff

0:13:58.520 --> 0:14:01.040
<v Speaker 1>netto he stops, he goes and again wrap round path

0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:04.320
<v Speaker 1>out of old Quinn at owl heado getting it done.

0:14:04.400 --> 0:14:08.120
<v Speaker 1>Kyle O'Quinn with a lay up. Yeah, Kyle O'Quinn reaping

0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:10.959
<v Speaker 1>the benefits of some great play from hul Nato, who

0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:14.400
<v Speaker 1>was another veteran reserve who had a very strong performance.

0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:18.000
<v Speaker 1>Seventy sixers could not slow down Devin Booker. He really

0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:21.240
<v Speaker 1>started to get going in quarter number three. Beati Coin

0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:23.760
<v Speaker 1>left the right, Booker breaks it off. Domin like oh Man.

0:14:24.160 --> 0:14:28.360
<v Speaker 1>A left hand jam by Booker breaking it off. That

0:14:28.480 --> 0:14:31.160
<v Speaker 1>was like a Dwayne Wade kind of move from mid court.

0:14:31.440 --> 0:14:36.240
<v Speaker 1>Two dribbles later, left head soar and a slam. Unfortunately

0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:38.800
<v Speaker 1>for fur Con, Cork Mose and Norvell Pel they were

0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:41.520
<v Speaker 1>on that poster. But it was a highlight. The made

0:14:41.520 --> 0:14:43.720
<v Speaker 1>to just sit back and go whoa when Devin Booker

0:14:44.000 --> 0:14:47.160
<v Speaker 1>unleased that it was a really impressive dunk. Sons were

0:14:47.200 --> 0:14:48.920
<v Speaker 1>up by seven at that point. They led it by

0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:52.400
<v Speaker 1>five ninety five ninety going into the fourth quarter. How

0:14:52.400 --> 0:14:54.480
<v Speaker 1>Old Nato did what he could to keep the seventy

0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:57.200
<v Speaker 1>sixers in this one. He knocked down some threes and

0:14:57.200 --> 0:14:59.720
<v Speaker 1>he also found some nifty ways to get involved in.

0:15:00.280 --> 0:15:02.880
<v Speaker 1>He was a good presence off the bench, Burke's outside

0:15:02.960 --> 0:15:06.000
<v Speaker 1>right into a Quinn kick out Netto Netto faking shoots

0:15:06.040 --> 0:15:09.840
<v Speaker 1>on Javon Carter and that's good, Aul Netto, he loves

0:15:09.840 --> 0:15:12.760
<v Speaker 1>the bubble baby shot up and good for three and

0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:18.480
<v Speaker 1>Netto now was seventeen, crafty, nifty and prolific this afternoon,

0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:21.680
<v Speaker 1>whole Nato tying a career high with twenty two points,

0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:25.440
<v Speaker 1>but the seventy sixers were outdone by Phoenix one thirty

0:15:25.520 --> 0:15:28.440
<v Speaker 1>to one seventeen. The seventy Sixers shot forty nine and

0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:31.400
<v Speaker 1>a half percent from the field, Phoenix fifty five percent

0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:33.840
<v Speaker 1>from the game. The Suns were twelve or twenty eight

0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:37.000
<v Speaker 1>from outside the arc. The Sixers were fifteen of thirty three.

0:15:37.080 --> 0:15:39.800
<v Speaker 1>The Sixers outdone of the free throw line by ten points,

0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:42.640
<v Speaker 1>where Phoenix was twenty of twenty one. Seventy six Ers

0:15:42.760 --> 0:15:45.280
<v Speaker 1>just ten to fourteen from the stripe. They were also

0:15:45.320 --> 0:15:48.360
<v Speaker 1>outrebounded by ten points, where the Sixers they committed just

0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:52.000
<v Speaker 1>nine turnovers, but the Suns feasted on those nine turnovers,

0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:54.960
<v Speaker 1>scoring twenty one points off the turns. They did twenty

0:15:54.960 --> 0:15:57.600
<v Speaker 1>one to nine advantage in points off turnovers did Phoenix,

0:15:57.800 --> 0:16:01.880
<v Speaker 1>and not unrelatedly, Phoenix outscored the Sixers fifteen to three

0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:05.240
<v Speaker 1>in fast break points. Running down some of the individual numbers,

0:16:05.280 --> 0:16:07.840
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers were led by Alec Burks with twenty three.

0:16:07.840 --> 0:16:09.880
<v Speaker 1>He was nine of seventeen overall and two of five

0:16:09.920 --> 0:16:12.800
<v Speaker 1>from the field. He also had four assists twenty two

0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:15.520
<v Speaker 1>points for whole NATO off the bench seventeen for Mike

0:16:15.600 --> 0:16:17.680
<v Speaker 1>Scott played a lot in the first half. He was

0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:20.680
<v Speaker 1>three for four from outside the arc. Fifteen for Glenn

0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:24.720
<v Speaker 1>Robinson the third and a dozen for fur concorkmis Devin

0:16:24.760 --> 0:16:28.880
<v Speaker 1>Booker with his seventh straight thirty plus point game against

0:16:28.880 --> 0:16:31.160
<v Speaker 1>the seventy sixers. He is a thorn in their side.

0:16:31.200 --> 0:16:34.720
<v Speaker 1>Played forty minutes thirty five points, is third straight thirty

0:16:34.720 --> 0:16:37.720
<v Speaker 1>five point game and he has just been totally on

0:16:37.760 --> 0:16:40.920
<v Speaker 1>a tear inside the Bubble and obviously a main reason

0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:44.440
<v Speaker 1>why Phoenix is still undefeated. Burke's got some bigger pardon.

0:16:44.480 --> 0:16:47.920
<v Speaker 1>Booker got some helps from mcal Bridges, who added twenty four.

0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:50.640
<v Speaker 1>He was three for five from outside the arc. Eighteen

0:16:50.680 --> 0:16:52.840
<v Speaker 1>off the bench for Dario Schartz, who finished with nine

0:16:52.840 --> 0:16:55.840
<v Speaker 1>points and four assists, as well sixteen for Ricky Rubio,

0:16:55.880 --> 0:16:58.560
<v Speaker 1>who had a double double by posting ten assists. He

0:16:58.640 --> 0:17:02.560
<v Speaker 1>also put up five rebounds. Seventy Sixers complete their loan

0:17:02.840 --> 0:17:06.439
<v Speaker 1>back to back inside the Bubble tomorrow six thirty Eastern

0:17:06.480 --> 0:17:10.360
<v Speaker 1>against the reigning NBA champion and now back to back

0:17:10.400 --> 0:17:14.560
<v Speaker 1>Atlantic Division champion Toronto Raptors. They're fifty one and nineteen

0:17:14.600 --> 0:17:16.679
<v Speaker 1>on the year, and they've lost just once inside the

0:17:16.680 --> 0:17:20.040
<v Speaker 1>Bubble to the Boston Celtics. That was in their third game.

0:17:20.080 --> 0:17:24.920
<v Speaker 1>But Toronto's beating the Lakers, the Miami Heat, the Memphis Grizzlies,

0:17:25.040 --> 0:17:29.800
<v Speaker 1>and most recently on yesterday, evening the Milwaukee Bucks by

0:17:29.800 --> 0:17:31.800
<v Speaker 1>the score of one fourteen to one oh six. So

0:17:32.320 --> 0:17:35.359
<v Speaker 1>the defending champs clicking on all cylinders. Seventy six Ers

0:17:35.440 --> 0:17:38.000
<v Speaker 1>hope to be a little bit healthier tomorrow, and perhaps

0:17:38.080 --> 0:17:39.840
<v Speaker 1>they'll go with some of the guys who sat out

0:17:39.880 --> 0:17:42.720
<v Speaker 1>today's game. You've been listening to rewind, look out for

0:17:42.760 --> 0:17:45.199
<v Speaker 1>fresh episodes of the Day after every seventy six Ers

0:17:45.280 --> 0:17:46.080
<v Speaker 1>game this season.
