Rewind time now to listen back 0:00:04.040 --> 0:00:08.400 to postgame reaction from the team's most recent game, seventy 0:00:08.480 --> 0:00:11.720 Sixers fight the defending champion Golden State Warriors, hard, come 0:00:11.760 --> 0:00:15.040 up just short one twenty one seventeen. Brian Seltzer with 0:00:15.120 --> 0:00:18.079 you here on the Sixers Radio Network. Tough loss for 0:00:18.120 --> 0:00:20.720 the Sixers tonight, standing by we hope for Brett Brown 0:00:20.800 --> 0:00:25.200 and his postgame press conference. Sixers got some great performances tonight, 0:00:25.239 --> 0:00:28.640 but Golden State closing out the Sixers with a big 0:00:28.800 --> 0:00:32.519 second half, in particular, outscoring the Sixers by fifteen in 0:00:32.600 --> 0:00:35.080 the third quarter to gain control. They played even in 0:00:35.120 --> 0:00:38.280 the fourth, but overall the Golden State Warriors outscoring the 0:00:38.320 --> 0:00:42.000 Sixers by fifteen in the second half. After the Sixers 0:00:42.080 --> 0:00:44.680 went up by twelve at the break. In the first half, 0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:47.800 Sixers twenty one turnovers that did not help. They also 0:00:47.880 --> 0:00:50.760 finished the game going one for six in the final 0:00:50.800 --> 0:00:53.319 minutes of play. They had to score tied at one 0:00:53.360 --> 0:00:56.840 eleven apiece after Mike Scott free throws with three minutes 0:00:56.880 --> 0:00:59.320 to go at that point, but just one basket the 0:00:59.360 --> 0:01:01.600 rest of the way. Tobias Harris and at that point 0:01:01.840 --> 0:01:04.440 the Sixers were battling uphill Golden State when it had 0:01:04.480 --> 0:01:07.640 one seventeen one eleven with just over thirty eight seconds 0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:10.280 left in a driving steph Curry lap. He had two 0:01:10.280 --> 0:01:13.160 big free throws before that, and prior to that a 0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:16.520 go ahead, tie breaking seventeen foot jumper. Curry had a 0:01:16.560 --> 0:01:18.280 bit of an up and down game, but he got 0:01:18.480 --> 0:01:21.280 Golden State off to a relatively decent start early on, 0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:24.480 and then he also helped the Warriors close things out 0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:27.000 tonight as the Sixers split their season series with the 0:01:27.000 --> 0:01:30.920 Warriors with a one twenty one seventeen loss. You know, 0:01:31.000 --> 0:01:34.039 this was obviously a game with so much excitement and 0:01:34.120 --> 0:01:37.360 anticipation surrounding it going into the evening because he had 0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:39.040 two of the top teams in the league. I mean, 0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:41.880 that's been one of the most fun and enjoyable aspects 0:01:41.880 --> 0:01:45.080 of the Sixers resurgence over the last two years that 0:01:45.560 --> 0:01:50.200 you have relevant, really exciting regular season basketball games, and 0:01:50.240 --> 0:01:52.840 this was without question at the top of the list, 0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:56.440 Sixers coming in fourth in the Eastern Conference. Golden State 0:01:56.640 --> 0:01:59.640 was number one out West. The Warriors, you know, they've 0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:02.440 been locked around in two games in Florida earlier this 0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:05.200 week against the Miami Heat. In the Orlando Magic, the 0:02:05.240 --> 0:02:10.440 Sixers admirably fighting through a shorthanded stretch without Joel Embiid, 0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:14.919 grinding out a pair of close, narrow victories on the road, 0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:17.760 they were able to get some good momentum going Tonight's game, 0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:20.960 no Joel Embiid, they played small. Mike Scott was fantastic 0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:23.800 with twenty two, Ben Simmons with his tenth triple double 0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:27.320 of twenty five points, fifteen rebounds and eleven assists, twenty 0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:30.280 one from Jimmy Butler and twenty from Dubias Harris. But 0:02:30.919 --> 0:02:34.160 it was Golden State with a monstrous second half led 0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:37.280 by Kevin Durant's thirty four points, Steph Curry with twenty eight, 0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:40.640 and to Marcus Cousins with twenty five. I believe we 0:02:40.680 --> 0:02:42.200 do have Brett Brown right now, so let's go to 0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:45.040 him after the Sixers one twenty one seventeen loss. When 0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:48.480 it's I don't, this is when I do. When anything. 0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:51.639 If you when you study the league and say like 0:02:51.720 --> 0:02:56.240 you're up three, some team is up three, half the 0:02:56.320 --> 0:02:59.120 league will use it. Half the league will use it 0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:02.040 thou to make them go shoot two free throws. The 0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:05.800 other half won't that's the first point. Those that do 0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:10.880 use the foul it's always And Coach Kyle was the 0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:13.040 first person I've ever seen do this a few years 0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:16.040 ago when he coached Sacramento. Do it about eight seconds 0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:20.600 and under you with me so far. So if you 0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:24.160 can run a play, you based it on the studies 0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:26.840 that you've seen, and you look at if you can 0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:29.239 run something that's got some pop to it and it's 0:03:29.320 --> 0:03:33.320 quick and it beats that eight second deadline, you feel 0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:37.680 comfortable that's just gonna go foul beat And you know, 0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:40.440 we got into the play slowly. We're trying to like 0:03:40.520 --> 0:03:44.680 free up JJ and Tobias and an action and uh, 0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:48.080 you know, Draymond really didn't even want to foul. Like 0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:50.440 if you looked at right, you know he didn't want 0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:52.480 to foul. He was upset at that. I thought they 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:54.040 were going to But I felt like we needed to 0:03:54.040 --> 0:03:57.320 get into the play quickly. Three year, three year top scorers, 0:03:57.560 --> 0:04:00.160 you know, struggle to shoot the Paul Yeah you still score? 0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:02.840 He was six, Yeah, should be so kind of what 0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:06.680 do you what is it? What was it different? Um? 0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:09.360 I think you know I turnovers ben Ben's and I 0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:12.680 turnover is hurt. I thought he had a tremendous game. Otherwise, 0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:16.000 I think when you look at you know what you 0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:20.760 miss in like they miss Clay, we don't have Joe Um. 0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:24.120 DeMarcus hurt us. You know. I thought Jonah was really good, 0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:27.320 But there's a weight factor or a physical factor that 0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:30.920 we we we just struggled with. I thought Mike scott 0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:34.720 Um hurt him because he could step up and make 0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:38.240 some threes. But in general, you got shot in those 0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:40.840 two shot makers and Kevin and stuff, and then you 0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:46.000 got some some bulk you know in DeMarcus. Uh, that 0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:48.320 that hurt us. And so I feel like when you 0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:50.440 look at the stats and you say what you just 0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:54.359 said and it's still we're in the game. I look forward. 0:04:55.320 --> 0:04:57.320 I hope we have the opportunity to play them in 0:04:57.400 --> 0:05:00.440 full health. What do you make of JJ's game, I 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:02.240 mean it seems like he's been struggling for a few 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:06.880 weeks now. Yeah, I don't read too much into it. 0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:10.839 I do think there's some things that I can do 0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:14.920 better to help him. I think that none of us 0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:19.120 can dismiss the pairing in the relationship that Joel has 0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:23.360 had with JJ. I think he misses Joel. Those two 0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:28.400 guys I think play well together, and sometimes just you know, 0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:30.719 periods of time in the season, you go through a 0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:35.080 little bit of a drought and you know, I'm playing 0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:39.159 him a minute load that at times I don't think 0:05:39.360 --> 0:05:44.640 is I like doing I don't feel like I should 0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:47.680 do that on a regular basis. So I think all 0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:51.360 that stuff. I gotta look at seventy Sixers head coach 0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:53.400 Brett Brown after a tough loss, and I had one 0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:56.680 twenty one seventeen. No Joel embat for the Sixers, No 0:05:56.839 --> 0:06:00.640 Clay Thompson for the Golden State Warriors, no bobod Nanovitcher 0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:04.440 a Mere Johnson for the seventy Sixers either. But this 0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:07.120 was a really competitive game between two of the better teams, 0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:09.279 two of the best teams in the entire NBA. Twenty 0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:12.520 one lead changes, eleven ties. You run down the stat 0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:17.360 sheet verving in so many areas. The Sixers had twenty 0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:20.120 five free throws, Golden State twenty four, each team with 0:06:20.200 --> 0:06:23.840 fourteen three pointers. Golden State made two more baskets, and 0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:28.640 the Sixers Warriors outscored the Sixers in terms of fast 0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:31.440 break opportunities. They were able to get their run game going, 0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:34.279 they outscored the Sixers in the paint, but certainly the 0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:36.840 Sixers with twenty one turnovers did not help the cause. 0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:39.960 The Warriors committed only fourteen they really cut down on 0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:42.080 them in the second half, and in the second half 0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:45.239 the Sixers had a tough time getting their shots to fall. 0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:47.720 To Bias Harris with the big first half he had 0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:50.719 sixteen points, only made one basket in the second half, 0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:53.599 and the Warriors made some adjustments. I thought Draymond Green, 0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:55.560 he finished with six points in the game, took only 0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:58.280 four shots. He had nine rebounds and ten assists. But 0:06:58.320 --> 0:07:00.840 when the seventy Sixers went through that wretch in the 0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:03.320 final three minutes when they just could not get shots 0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:06.320 to go, there was Draymond Green manning up for some 0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:10.080 really big rebounds that keeps scoring opportunities the other way, 0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:13.000 in particular for Steph Curry. Curry with a big finish 0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:15.320 helping the Golden State Warriors get over the top and 0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:18.120 get out of a two game funk. Sixers lose one 0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:20.720 twenty two, one seventeen. We're gonna touch base with Tom 0:07:20.760 --> 0:07:23.040 mc ginnis coming up after this and play some of 0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:26.320 the highlights from ade dramatic, exciting game between the seventy 0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:29.320 Sixers and the Doubs.

Twenty one lead changes eleven ties, but it 0:08:13.360 --> 0:08:16.160 was Golden State that came out on top one twenty 0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:18.800 to one. Seventeen on Brian Seltzer were rejoined now by 0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:21.440 Tom McGinnis. Tom. Both teams two of the best in 0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:23.920 the league. There were shorthandsed tonight. This was another great 0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:27.360 game between these clubs. Golden State. I mean that's you 0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:29.840 look at big picture stuff. They figured some things out 0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:32.000 in the second half and they were able to ultimately 0:08:32.400 --> 0:08:35.439 fend off the Sixers, no doubt about it. And their 0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:37.960 big three was bigger than the Sixers big four or 0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:40.959 five in terms of scoring in this game. When we 0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:43.439 met before the game and talked about what it might 0:08:43.480 --> 0:08:46.520 take for the Sixers, you were talking about high twenties 0:08:46.559 --> 0:08:48.800 for certain players, maybe two or three players. And they 0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:51.280 got that, and they got a career night from Mike Scott, 0:08:51.320 --> 0:08:54.600 and it still wasn't enough. So Cousins was really good. 0:08:55.000 --> 0:08:58.960 Kevin Durant good throughout Curry early and late again that 0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:02.040 stretch where Curry had eight in a row, Durant added 0:09:02.040 --> 0:09:04.800 the free throw to give him and Couria combined nine 0:09:04.880 --> 0:09:08.400 points that that provided the margin of victory. And again 0:09:09.200 --> 0:09:11.560 a lot of positives for the Sixers. Really, I mean 0:09:11.600 --> 0:09:16.000 when you consider to me, I look at like Mike Scott, 0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:18.480 I think in these like his playoff games, like what 0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:21.160 it's going to take in the playoffs. And maybe that's 0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:24.160 from being around coach Brown. But now I'm not saying 0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:26.480 Mike Scott's gonna give you six threes in the playoffs, 0:09:26.480 --> 0:09:28.120 but to know he has he's done it. Over the 0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:31.120 last three games, he's knocked down that open three, and 0:09:31.160 --> 0:09:33.640 that's one of the reasons you brought him here was 0:09:33.720 --> 0:09:36.320 to be able to make a shot and to be 0:09:36.360 --> 0:09:38.480 able to defend. And for the last two games he's 0:09:38.520 --> 0:09:40.920 played the five spot at times and it's done a 0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:44.440 decent job in that regard. And then even Jonah Bolden, 0:09:44.600 --> 0:09:47.120 and again I'm not counting on Jonah Bolden for three threes, 0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:49.360 but just to know that he's going to be a 0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:54.160 confident three point shooter tonight, other than following Cousins, which 0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:57.040 you really can't fault him for it because he was overmatched. 0:09:57.440 --> 0:10:00.000 I thought he played maybe one of his more confident games. 0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:02.120 He's always had a little bit of a moment where 0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:05.199 you know, you can just kind of see him hesitating 0:10:05.240 --> 0:10:08.240 and makes a little air, oftentimes a mental air, but 0:10:08.400 --> 0:10:10.480 not tonight. He came out, how about he'd made the 0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:13.160 first basket of the game, Jonah Boulden. I threw out 0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:18.200 Doctor Jane right. It hasn't been lumped into the call 0:10:18.280 --> 0:10:20.920 with a Jonah Boulden basket as of yet, but a 0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:24.960 beautiful baseline right to left reverse and so there's certainly 0:10:24.960 --> 0:10:27.960 a lot of positives other than turnovers, which that's saying 0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:30.600 a lot because Ben had nine turnovers. He was dominant 0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:33.839 at times and so a lot of positives. But again, 0:10:33.880 --> 0:10:37.760 the turnovers in total twenty one, and you know it's 0:10:37.760 --> 0:10:40.160 a bit of an anomaly, and that the Sixers still 0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:43.760 scored more points off the Warriors turnovers than Golden when 0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:46.720 the Sixers had almost seven or eight more. But and 0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:49.240 you've said this before, when you don't get those shots, 0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:52.000 and the Sixers took more shots, but in a game 0:10:52.040 --> 0:10:54.840 you lose by three, and you know you turn it 0:10:54.880 --> 0:10:58.400 over twenty one times, you're missing out on opportunities. And 0:10:58.520 --> 0:11:02.280 that's not that's a problem for the Sixers and you 0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:05.360 want to play big time championship game that pushes you 0:11:05.440 --> 0:11:09.600 deep into the conference playoffs and Lord William in the finals, 0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:11.960 you can't turn the ball over like that, and that's 0:11:11.960 --> 0:11:14.839 something they've got to graduate from beyond. But again, and 0:11:14.880 --> 0:11:17.560 I've said this before, but if this game was on 0:11:17.679 --> 0:11:19.839 national TV so tonight, it rings true. You could have 0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:23.040 watched this game at Tacoma, Washington, or in the Florida Keys, 0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:25.920 or in Des Moines or right here in South Philadelphia. 0:11:26.000 --> 0:11:29.440 This was an exciting unbelievable game, but the lead changes 0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:32.680 and the extraordinary play. But for the Sixers it's a 0:11:32.679 --> 0:11:34.760 heartbreaking loss. They're not in the moral victories. They had 0:11:34.760 --> 0:11:36.679 a chance to get into third in the East with 0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:39.320 any end of losing to Orlando, and they couldn't get 0:11:39.360 --> 0:11:42.760 it done. Obviously, they missed Joel and they had a 0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:45.360 very good game, but just not good enough. Seventy six 0:11:45.440 --> 0:11:47.920 Ers come a three point short one twenty one seventeen 0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:52.080 to Golden State, and you know, thinking about different aspects 0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:55.199 of this game, and you know, maybe it might be 0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:57.599 a little bit foolish to project out this far. I 0:11:57.640 --> 0:11:59.600 don't know how you feel about it, but between the 0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:01.720 first game against Golden State and this one, I mean, 0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:03.400 there are ways you could look at and say, like 0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:07.160 the Sixers could have worse matches. They've matched up worse 0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:10.400 against other teams that have been amongst the NBA's elite. 0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:13.160 I mean, we've seen them hang real tough, real competitive, 0:12:13.160 --> 0:12:14.840 and I know we've talked about the nine turnovers with 0:12:14.880 --> 0:12:18.000 Ben Simmons. Brett even said himself, you can't excuse that, 0:12:18.120 --> 0:12:20.880 but I mean Golden State in many ways has not 0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:22.800 had much of an answer for Ben Simmons in particular, 0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:25.600 he had a big time triple double time. Well, as 0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:27.760 I said earlier, and it's not funny or any but 0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:29.880 their colors are golden. They're the gold standard. I mean 0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:32.400 they're they've won two in a row. And you're right, 0:12:32.559 --> 0:12:35.160 I mean, you know, Brooklyn. You you could argue that 0:12:35.200 --> 0:12:38.240 Brooklyn gives us sixers a harder time than the Warriors, 0:12:38.720 --> 0:12:42.240 but I also think it's part of you know, human 0:12:42.320 --> 0:12:45.840 nature being what it is, where you have to bring 0:12:45.840 --> 0:12:49.400 your a game. And again, their best two players were 0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:52.520 better in the end in terms of Curry and Durant, 0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:55.520 and Durant is just I mean, they're both amazing, but 0:12:55.679 --> 0:12:59.440 Kevin Durant is just you know, he almost shoots it 0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:02.360 likes and Curry, but he's six nine, six ten. He 0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:05.600 shoots over the top and he's just an incredible talent 0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:09.000 and they're fun to watch. And Graymond Green, You're like, well, 0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:10.360 he didn't have that big of a game. Well, I 0:13:10.360 --> 0:13:12.079 mean he almost had a triple dumpling. He only scored 0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:14.680 six points and this rebounds late. Yeah, but he puts 0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:17.040 his impact on the game and in so many areas, 0:13:17.440 --> 0:13:19.920 and he quarterbacks their team in a lot of respects. 0:13:20.000 --> 0:13:22.400 So you know, I think we're they're hurting, and the 0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:24.880 Sixers have a little bit of this, not necessarily tonight, 0:13:25.480 --> 0:13:28.040 but you know they have, you know, a lot of 0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:30.360 their salaries and a lot of their best players are 0:13:30.400 --> 0:13:34.080 their starters, so and again they interspersed, not unlike the 0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:37.560 Sixers keeping Butler or Simmons out there, but you know 0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:39.880 where they keep maybe Duran or somebody with that. My 0:13:39.920 --> 0:13:42.880 whole point is that second unit, and tonight the Sixers 0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:47.000 got tremendous play from TJ McConnell again and in a 0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:50.960 career night from Mike Scott six three. So that's an 0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:53.640 area that I'm sure they would like a little bit 0:13:53.640 --> 0:13:56.080 more scoring off their bench, and most of the time 0:13:56.080 --> 0:13:59.360 that would be held through for the Sixers. But like 0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:03.439 I said, in all of really exciting night, and the Sixers, 0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:06.000 you know, they keep playing really good games. They've been 0:14:06.040 --> 0:14:08.320 really good at home, but you look back they lost. 0:14:08.320 --> 0:14:10.480 They've done well against the West, but the thunder have 0:14:10.520 --> 0:14:12.520 come in here, the Blazers have coming here, and now 0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:16.439 the Warriors and defeated the Sixers here in Philadelphia. And 0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:19.400 another big game coming up on Tuesday with a surging 0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:23.360 Magic team that beat this Warrior squad by seven, and 0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:27.080 they won again. They beat the Indiana Pacers, so they're 0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:29.440 really you know, they struggled early in the season, but 0:14:29.560 --> 0:14:31.760 Dvussovic and Aaron Gordon, they're doing a good job for 0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:33.840 the Magic. That's not going to be an easy game either. 0:14:34.040 --> 0:14:36.600 Seventy six was loose to Golden State one twenty one seventeen. 0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:40.000 It's like you're expecting at some point this stretch against 0:14:40.040 --> 0:14:41.840 really difficult teams is gonna end. I mean, it's going 0:14:41.880 --> 0:14:43.840 back to the end of January that started with that 0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:46.640 West Coast road trip. But now you look at the 0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:49.120 Atlanta Magic, as you said, the Chicago Bulls and the 0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:50.800 second night of the back to back on the road, 0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:53.320 and then next Friday you've got the Houston Rockets, so 0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:56.040 the Sixers, it's gonna be a loaded for bear stretch. 0:14:56.400 --> 0:14:58.600 The vibes felt good in terms of what was coming 0:14:58.640 --> 0:15:01.400 from Joel Embiid before the game, But obviously that's gonna 0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:04.280 be something we look at too this week. Right, Well, 0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:06.320 that and you're gonna mention the games. You gotta mention 0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:09.120 the game next Sunday against Indiana, of course. Yeah, so 0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:11.080 you got to do well during the course of these 0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:13.760 next three games, but that sets up to be made. 0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:15.960 The Sixers have the season's edge so far, but they 0:15:15.960 --> 0:15:19.040 could seal the deal in terms of a potential tiebreaker, 0:15:19.440 --> 0:15:22.160 but no doubt. I mean Chicago with marketing and Levine. 0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:24.640 How about Arch playing well and that was an incredible game. 0:15:24.680 --> 0:15:27.960 We watched the highlights of that game a condensed version. 0:15:28.000 --> 0:15:29.960 It was still about an hour long. The game of 0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:32.560 the Bulls played with the Atlanta Hawks last night in 0:15:32.640 --> 0:15:36.240 terms of a four overtime game. But first things first, Orlando, 0:15:36.640 --> 0:15:39.120 it's a team the Sixers have fared well against. But 0:15:39.200 --> 0:15:42.360 again this it'll be interesting to see this version of 0:15:42.400 --> 0:15:44.680 the magic because, like I said, they've seemed to turn 0:15:44.760 --> 0:15:47.680 things around a little bit. And tonight they beat Indiana 0:15:47.800 --> 0:15:50.880 on the road, Indianapolis by five. And back to your 0:15:50.880 --> 0:15:53.920 point about Joel, he had said himself and it remains 0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:56.480 to be seen, but that he would be back this 0:15:56.560 --> 0:15:59.560 week or he said next week. So that would be great. 0:15:59.560 --> 0:16:02.640 But you're right, difficult games, they're all hey, there's no 0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:04.560 easy games, particularly at this time of the year. It 0:16:04.600 --> 0:16:07.040 seems like they come each and every day, or at 0:16:07.080 --> 0:16:09.680 least every other day, and a great matchup, but a 0:16:09.720 --> 0:16:13.840 great crowd on hand, tremendous atmosphere, awesome and just really 0:16:13.840 --> 0:16:17.920 a privilege to be here in these environs and treated 0:16:18.000 --> 0:16:20.760 to tremendous basketball. But the Warriors just a little bit 0:16:20.760 --> 0:16:22.840 better with a three point win tonight. All right, Tom, 0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:25.440 thanks very much, you gotta bran. Seventy six Ers drop 0:16:25.480 --> 0:16:28.320 a one twenty one seventeen decision of the Golden State Warriors. 0:16:28.320 --> 0:16:31.280 Sometimes highlights as we continue on the postgame shown next 0:16:31.680 --> 0:16:37.040 here on the Sixers Rate Network.

Let's get to some of the highlights. Sixers 0:17:11.320 --> 0:17:14.360 got off to a very promising start tonight with Tobias 0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:18.159 Harris setting the tone, bringing to Durant and that alleyoope 0:17:18.200 --> 0:17:20.240 is not gonna go. Here's Harris the other way. Harris 0:17:20.240 --> 0:17:22.920 in the milane closes with a bank got on Graymond Green. 0:17:23.440 --> 0:17:25.919 So the Warriors tried an allayope to Kevin Durant that 0:17:26.000 --> 0:17:28.560 was thwarted. And then at the other and Tobias Harris 0:17:28.640 --> 0:17:31.760 gets a layup eight point Sixers lead and the seventy 0:17:31.800 --> 0:17:34.480 Sixers would lead by one thirty two thirty one. After 0:17:34.520 --> 0:17:37.119 a period of playthings really opened up a bit in 0:17:37.160 --> 0:17:40.199 the second quarter and the bull tipped by Ben Simmons 0:17:40.240 --> 0:17:42.800 on the runout seventh down Cross Street, a big time 0:17:42.880 --> 0:17:46.840 slab Sixers stealing and dun get and the Warriors want time. 0:17:47.240 --> 0:17:50.640 Ben Simmons like a freight train here Pince South Philadelphia, 0:17:50.920 --> 0:17:54.359 and the crowd loves that. A cacophitus roar as the 0:17:54.480 --> 0:17:57.960 Sixers go back up by seven, matching their largest lead 0:17:58.040 --> 0:18:01.520 in the game. Sixers would be by twelve at the break, 0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:05.360 the score was sixty seven to fifty five. Things were 0:18:05.400 --> 0:18:07.680 looking good in seventy six Ers Lamb, but then came 0:18:07.760 --> 0:18:10.680 the early stages of the third quarter, Golden State going 0:18:10.840 --> 0:18:14.440 a sixteen to nothing run. At one point, seventy six 0:18:14.520 --> 0:18:17.920 Ers unleased the weapon known as Mike Scott in this game. 0:18:18.280 --> 0:18:21.240 Ben out to Mike Scott, opened three ball, it's up 0:18:21.280 --> 0:18:24.720 and good. Mike Scott with a sixty three and now 0:18:24.720 --> 0:18:29.120 the Warriors take time. Sixers would be in front seventy 0:18:29.119 --> 0:18:32.080 six to seventy three. At that point. This game was 0:18:32.119 --> 0:18:35.639 so back and forth between these two squads throughout the 0:18:35.840 --> 0:18:38.680 entire night, very competitive between two of the best teams 0:18:39.080 --> 0:18:42.359 in the league. The seventy Sixers trailed Golden State ninety 0:18:42.440 --> 0:18:46.120 three to ninety going into the fourth quarter. That man 0:18:46.160 --> 0:18:48.280 Mike Scott, he was a factor big time in the 0:18:48.320 --> 0:18:50.919 second half. That would certainly be a theme in the 0:18:50.960 --> 0:18:53.800 final minutes. Here's Ben Simmons knocking down Green, out to 0:18:53.880 --> 0:18:56.320 Mike Scott for three and Mike Scott with a career 0:18:56.440 --> 0:19:00.280 night here in Philadelphia his fifth made three and the 0:19:00.400 --> 0:19:04.200 Sixers go from down two to up one. It was 0:19:04.240 --> 0:19:06.240 one oh four, one oh three with six and a 0:19:06.280 --> 0:19:08.879 half minutes to go in regulation, and after Golden State 0:19:09.240 --> 0:19:11.439 took the lead a few moments later on a couple 0:19:11.480 --> 0:19:14.120 of free throws from de Marcus Cousins, that man Mike 0:19:14.240 --> 0:19:17.399 Scott was ready to fire again. Butler to Mike Scott, 0:19:17.480 --> 0:19:20.520 Scott bankes on Curry, Stide steps up, shoots another three 0:19:20.640 --> 0:19:24.160 and it's good again. Another trip up by Mike Scott 0:19:24.400 --> 0:19:28.040 and the Sixers now thirteen threes in the game and 0:19:28.240 --> 0:19:31.480 Scott with a career high six one oh seven one 0:19:31.520 --> 0:19:34.679 oh six, seventy sixers just under six to go, Jimmy Butler, 0:19:34.680 --> 0:19:36.680 with a big jump shot, gave the Sixers the lead 0:19:36.760 --> 0:19:39.320 one o nine, one o eight with four minutes left. 0:19:39.320 --> 0:19:42.800 The Sixers would also get another timely contribution from Scott 0:19:42.800 --> 0:19:44.800 two free throws to tie it with three twenty one 0:19:44.840 --> 0:19:47.879 to go, but from their Golden State and namely Steph Curry, 0:19:47.920 --> 0:19:51.960 took over. Curry scored, Golden State got it stops, big 0:19:51.960 --> 0:19:54.960 rebounds from Draymond Green, and the Warriors closed half the 0:19:55.000 --> 0:19:58.000 seventy six one twenty one seventeen. A lot of even 0:19:58.080 --> 0:20:00.800 stats in this one. Seventy six or shot forty eight 0:20:00.960 --> 0:20:03.639 five percent from the field, Golden State fifteen and a a 0:20:03.680 --> 0:20:06.720 half percent from the field. The seventy Sixers and Golden 0:20:06.760 --> 0:20:10.040 State each finished with fourteen three pointers, the Sixers with 0:20:10.480 --> 0:20:12.399 a mark of twenty five and twenty nine from the 0:20:12.440 --> 0:20:15.240 line the Warriors with twenty four of thirty four from 0:20:15.240 --> 0:20:18.199 the stripe. The Sixers outrebound and Golden State by seven, 0:20:18.200 --> 0:20:20.480 but in crunch time down the stretch, it was the 0:20:20.520 --> 0:20:24.080 Warriors grabbing key rebounds off the glass. Twenty one turnovers 0:20:24.080 --> 0:20:26.959 for the seventy six ers, fourteen for Golden State. Thirty 0:20:26.960 --> 0:20:29.119 four points, a game high went to Kevin Durant, Steph 0:20:29.160 --> 0:20:31.840 Curry and DeMarcus Cousins with twenty eight and twenty five 0:20:31.880 --> 0:20:35.160
