WEBVTT - The BroadCast: 3/15/18- Rewind vs. Knicks 0:00:00.480 --> 0:00:03.960 This is the Philadelphia has seventy Sixers postgame show. I 0:00:04.960 --> 0:00:07.840 can look about about Broach free hards is gonna turn him? 0:00:07.880 --> 0:00:12.719 Get it off Patty the Sixers postgame show right now 0:00:13.000 --> 0:00:17.160 on ninety seven five the Panetic. Welcome to the Sixers 0:00:17.239 --> 0:00:19.920 postgame show here on the sixeres Radio Network. I'm divine 0:00:19.920 --> 0:00:22.319 given's coming off of a sixer one eighteen one tin 0:00:22.440 --> 0:00:24.880 win and right now the head coach live outside of 0:00:24.960 --> 0:00:30.880 the locker room. I very much enjoy that. I thought 0:00:30.920 --> 0:00:34.680 the second half he raised his intensity. I thought in 0:00:34.720 --> 0:00:36.840 the first half some of it. I give the Knicks 0:00:36.880 --> 0:00:39.839 a lot of credit. They do have individual scorers, individual 0:00:39.920 --> 0:00:42.239 one on one guys that are hard to guard. But 0:00:42.400 --> 0:00:44.760 I thought like he just sort of traded baskets back 0:00:44.800 --> 0:00:47.519 and forth and for a while, you know, while I 0:00:47.600 --> 0:00:50.440 was worried. We had to raise our intensity, and I thought, 0:00:51.159 --> 0:00:55.400 I thought Ben and Joel, you know, helped lead that 0:00:55.520 --> 0:01:03.720 cause in the second half especially. I think that they 0:01:03.720 --> 0:01:07.600 have really good individual players. I think that that that uh, 0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:10.479 you know, Michael Beasley can score. He's a gifted score 0:01:10.640 --> 0:01:12.240 Trey Burke came in and we had a heart. We 0:01:12.280 --> 0:01:16.560 had not really much many answers for him. Um. I 0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:19.240 think that that Courtney Lee, you know, is a one 0:01:19.280 --> 0:01:22.119 on one guy that can score. And I feel like 0:01:22.160 --> 0:01:24.320 I some of it, I give them credit some of it. 0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:26.640 I think that we we we can't play like that, 0:01:26.720 --> 0:01:28.360 Like there needs to be more of a sense of 0:01:28.480 --> 0:01:32.200 urgency to to you know, trend in the way we 0:01:32.240 --> 0:01:35.800 want a trend as the exciting part of the season 0:01:36.080 --> 0:01:42.959 comes comes closer. I mean, you walk that line of 0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:48.880 trying to you know, retain belief and and and let 0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:51.240 him know, you know, what we have is certainly enough, 0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:56.360 but also you know earlier to give him a sting 0:01:56.480 --> 0:01:59.000 that's not good enough, Like what I saw defensively in 0:01:59.040 --> 0:02:01.280 the first half, that's not going to get it done, 0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:05.000 not in any place that's important. And I think the 0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:07.000 last part of that, when you can feel like this 0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:09.880 spirit was good. They were fighting the way we need 0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:13.600 to fight. That we have enough, you know in front 0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:16.280 of us where we can run some stuff. I thought 0:02:16.280 --> 0:02:19.800 we executed quite well. I feel like Joel made some 0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:23.040 big passes out of the post to find Dario and Erison. 0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:26.639 I think that block that he had on Moodier fled 0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:29.800 to like JJ's three in the corner. Those types of 0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:33.640 things influenced, you know, the last three minutes and stuff 0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:36.239 you wanted to say to them. That was Six's winning 0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:39.519 head coach Brett Brown outside of the visitors' locker room 0:02:39.639 --> 0:02:42.560 as again the Philadelphia seventy six has improved to thirty 0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:45.560 seven and thirty on the seats and after defeating the 0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:49.560 New York Knicks one eighteen one ten and dramatic fashion 0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:52.120 as they had to find their way back in by 0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:55.640 clawing every which way. Yeah, a lot of fireworks, a 0:02:55.639 --> 0:02:57.680 lot of different things that took place in this game 0:02:57.720 --> 0:02:59.880 in order for this basketball team to pick up the 0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:01.880 victory on the road in the front end of a 0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:04.000 back to back as they return home to the Center 0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:07.760 tomorrow hosting the Brooklyn Nets. But again a big win 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:10.919 at Madison Square Garden for the Philadelphia seventy six Ers 0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:14.880 one eighteen one ten and Brett Brown talked about the 0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:18.040 energy level or the lack thereof early on for his 0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:21.520 basketball team and they back and forth in the first 0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:24.480 quarter and after the end of the first things just 0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:27.679 simply did not go to Philadelphia seventy sixers way after 0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:31.160 one they were tied thirty two all but then the 0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:34.800 New York Knicks in the second quarter simply took a 0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:38.080 eight point advantage into the halftime, and that's where things 0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:40.800 really got away for the Philadelphia seventy six is giving 0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:43.200 up sixty eight points. You see that the defense is 0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:47.040 an issuees nine turnovers early on for Brett Brown's club, 0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:50.160 But in the second half, specifically in the fourth quarter, 0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:54.240 they found their way and ultimately clawing it out again, 0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:57.720 scraping and clawing and then finally starting to drill a 0:03:57.800 --> 0:03:59.920 lot of three pointers in the fourth quarter to come 0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:04.120 away again with this one eighteen one ten victory over 0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:06.320 the New York Knicks. On the other side, we will 0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:09.040 reconnect with Tom mcguinnis you heard his game call. We 0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:12.240 will reconnect with him from Madison Square Garden get his thoughts, 0:04:12.640 --> 0:04:15.000 extensive thoughts on this game and how the Sixers will 0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:18.080 ultimately able to come away with this victory. Highlights later 0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:20.880 on by Tom as well as the Sixers once again 0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:23.679 find a way to come away with a one eighteen 0:04:24.120 --> 0:04:26.840 one ten much needed victory over the New York Knicks. 0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:29.520 Album Divine givens. This is the Sixers Radio Network, the 0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:36.920 postgame show, Game number sixty seven four, your Philadelphia seventy 0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:39.320 Sixers picking up the victory on the road at the 0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:43.520 Garden one eighteen one ten over the New York Nicks. 0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:47.240 Joel Ebad was fantastic in this game with twenty nine 0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:50.240 points and ten rebounds, eleven of twenty one from the floor, 0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:52.960 and they needed every bit of the thirty one minutes 0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:55.240 and fifty three seconds from their all star big man. 0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:58.279 I'm Divine Givens. This is the Sixers postgame show here 0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:01.120 on the Sixers Radio Network. We now go back to 0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:04.080 Madison Square Garden and check in with Tom again. As 0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:06.600 Tom the team going back and forth in the first 0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:09.560 quarter with the Knicks putting up a high point total 0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:12.200 of thirty two points to piece, but then things got away, 0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:14.800 ultimately picking up in the fourth quarter being able to 0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:17.680 come away with his victory no question about it. I mean, 0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:20.400 the Knicks led by six with five twenty one to 0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:22.599 go and the Sixers went on an eight oh run. 0:05:23.040 --> 0:05:26.840 Two big plays defensively in that sequence, the block by 0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:31.039 Embad on Moodier and then Moodier out of the play 0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:34.000 after Joel blocked him at the basket. The Sixers go 0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:37.880 down five on four, and that became a calling sequence 0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:39.960 because the Sixers, it was kind of like that hockey 0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:42.599 assist the swing swing, in other words, from the top 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:44.680 to the wing and then deep in the corner Reddick 0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:47.480 poise right in front of the Knicks bench, knocking down 0:05:47.520 --> 0:05:50.640 that triple to give the Sixers a lead. Shortly after that, 0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:53.159 the Sixers did a good job of double covering Michael 0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:55.920 Beasley out of that trap. He just whips the ball 0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:58.040 out to the left wing. No Knick player was there. 0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:00.760 Sixers get it back. They come back the near corner, 0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:04.120 Dario Shirich, it's the three, and from there the Sixers 0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:06.479 made free throws and won the game. I mean, New 0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:08.920 York was brilliant after that thirty two point all tie. 0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:11.640 As you mentioned a bond the Sixers watch New York 0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:14.560 shoots seventy one percent. They made fifteen of twenty one 0:06:15.000 --> 0:06:16.920 from the floor in the second quarter, and as Brett 0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:20.159 Brown alluded to post game, they've got some very good 0:06:20.200 --> 0:06:24.680 individual scores. Courtney Lee, Michael Beasley, Trey Burke had fourteen 0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:27.800 points in that first half. So they were really incredible. 0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:31.040 And yet the Sixers come to life, realized they had 0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:33.040 to seize the moment, step up their game, and they 0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:35.960 did exactly that to get the big victory here in NYC. 0:06:36.160 --> 0:06:38.160 And as much as we'll look to a game like 0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:41.200 we saw on Tuesday where they dropped the contest to 0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:43.200 the Indiana pieces, then you come back and see a 0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:46.520 situation like this where you expect them to get to win, 0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:49.440 they get down. But another learning experience and trying to 0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:52.800 figure out how to win in the long run time. Well, absolutely, 0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:55.599 and again on paper, you know, you come in, take 0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:57.440 care of business, gets the victory, and that's not how 0:06:57.440 --> 0:07:00.640 it plays out. I mean, these are talented players for opposition. 0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:02.960 I will say this though, as I mentioned during the 0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:05.920 course of the broadcast, when a team has lost eight 0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:08.880 in a row and sixteen out of seventeen, they kind 0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:11.640 of believe it, or you know, they looking, what are 0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:13.120 we gonna do here? How are we gonna handle this? 0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:16.440 There's not a thousand percent belief. And as an aggressive 0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:19.200 team that's on the rise like the Sixers, a team 0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:21.680 that's now seven games over five hundred, you've got to 0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:25.040 create that doubt and then make it happen through execution. 0:07:25.320 --> 0:07:27.680 And the Sixers did a good job. And you referenced 0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:31.040 the Indiana game. The difference was tonight the Sixers after 0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:34.000 twelve in the first we're able to keep their turnovers 0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:36.960 in check. They only ended up with fourteen in the game, 0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:39.520 and that became a big thing because the Sixers were 0:07:39.560 --> 0:07:41.760 not giving the ball away and they were able to 0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:44.360 keep that to a minimum. Sixes beat the Knicks one, 0:07:44.480 --> 0:07:47.560 eighteen one ten at Madison Square Garden, improving the records 0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:50.280 of thirty seven and thirty and time just overall the 0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:54.080 balance scoring wise and having six players in double figures. 0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:56.320 It'll sound Ilio Silva with the big three in the 0:07:56.320 --> 0:07:59.080 fourth quarter he only ended up with nine, but again 0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:01.560 just the balance of the basketball team and the assist 0:08:02.120 --> 0:08:04.880 high number totally. As we talk about. You mentioned during 0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:07.840 your close out of the broadcast twenty nine assist on 0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:10.760 forty one baskets. They realized that they had to share 0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:13.160 the ball, and again this is what you find from 0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:16.120 a team like this who keeps whipping the ball around, 0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:19.120 as you know, leading the NBA and passes well. That 0:08:19.240 --> 0:08:21.640 and to your point about the balance and the depth, 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:23.840 you know, the NBA is a long game about forty 0:08:23.840 --> 0:08:27.160 eight minutes, and you've got talented players, and you need players, 0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:29.640 especially during a long season. During these long games you 0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:32.240 got you have to have players step up and make 0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:34.560 a difference at certain points, and that's one of my 0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:37.600 favorite things about a good team, and this Sixers team 0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:40.680 is definitely headed that way, and that is a different point. 0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:44.360 You get key contributions. I mean, Simmons was enormous with 0:08:44.440 --> 0:08:47.280 the assists and the rebounds and the scoring. Dario was 0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:50.640 just unbelievable with the rebounding and Cuff coming up with 0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:54.280 five threes. Dario had four threes. Earson's numbers overall from 0:08:54.280 --> 0:08:57.680 the field won't stand out, but he battled, no question 0:08:57.720 --> 0:09:00.360 about it. He took a big charge. He went in there. Now, 0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:03.320 the Sixers, you know, they've been rotating on a game 0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:06.200 by game basis, a mere Johnson play tonight, Holmes rest. 0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:09.000 But with Iliasova, he's six ten and he's able to 0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:11.560 play the five a lot, particularly against a team like 0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:14.520 New York that doesn't have your prototypical back to the 0:09:14.559 --> 0:09:17.679 basket five man, which so many teams don't. That's a 0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:20.760 luxury for Brett Brown because you got the interior covered 0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:24.400 with Arson and his ability to play on the perimeters. 0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:27.480 So all of those guys are key contributors. Marco Bellanelli 0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:30.520 was a key contributor as well, and that's what gives 0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:33.080 the Sixers a chance not only in these games but 0:09:33.240 --> 0:09:36.880 headed into potentially a playoff matchup where you got veteran 0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:40.839 guys like Reddick and Bellonelli and Iliasova. Covington certainly it 0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:43.320 will be his first playoffs, but he certainly had a 0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:46.160 lot of experience, and then you get the young standout 0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:49.960 players like Dario and Bead and Simmons, and again this 0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:54.040 is on paper a winnable situation over this tomorrow. They 0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:57.480 just beat Brooklyn by twenty three in Brooklyn and held 0:09:57.520 --> 0:10:00.440 them to like nineteen points or fourteen points in the 0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:02.760 fourth quarter. But you got to go out and get 0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:05.560 it done tomorrow night. Then you have Charlotte and Memphis 0:10:05.600 --> 0:10:07.960 in Atlanta, all teams that are struggling. They're not going 0:10:07.960 --> 0:10:10.400 to the pois suit postseason, but you have to go 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:12.080 out and get it done. It's a great opportunity for 0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:14.920 the Sixers. I mean, all the pundits everybody talking about 0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:17.880 the easy schedule for the Sixers, Well, here is that 0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:21.320 chunk of the schedule, and the Sixers got to execute 0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:24.080 and be efficient and get it done. And they have 0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:26.240 it on the table starting tomorrow night against Brooklyn. But 0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:27.600 they did a good job here in New York to 0:10:27.640 --> 0:10:29.800 gain the win, and Tomman doesn't hurt to have six 0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:32.280 of the next seven at home either. That's true as well. 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:35.160 They've been very good there at home. And you know, 0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:37.199 though the team is doing a good job. You know, 0:10:37.240 --> 0:10:40.040 they've certainly had some difficult losses against these teams in 0:10:40.120 --> 0:10:45.280 the Eastern Conference playoffs when you look at Milwaukee, Miami twice, Indiana, Washington. 0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:47.560 But you got to take care of business and hope 0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:49.120 to grow and get better as a seat.

Dario Scharts continued this fantastic streak for the 0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:31.839 second year pro for the seventy six twenty one points 0:11:31.880 --> 0:11:34.680 on seven to thirteen shooting four of eight from behind 0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:37.760 the yard. Continues to improve his outside shooting, a much 0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:41.600 needed aspect of his game that looks to improve every 0:11:41.679 --> 0:11:44.560 single game. You always look for Dario Scharts again when 0:11:44.600 --> 0:11:46.800 he rises up for those shots for it to go in. 0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:49.920 Ben Simmons with yet another triple double. Back to back 0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:52.600 triple doubles he added on Tuesday and the loss against 0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:56.120 the Indiana Pacers.

I hope to see that continue to improve. 0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:08.280 In thirty three minutes and twenty two seconds, five turnovers 0:12:08.280 --> 0:12:12.040 the only blemish there and again Ben Simmons's eighth triple 0:12:12.080 --> 0:12:16.320 double on the season, passing Magic Johnson's record of pardon me, 0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:21.080 passing Magic Johnson with seven, Todd was at seven. Now 0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:24.000 he holds the eighth the second spot with eight, far 0:12:24.120 --> 0:12:26.839 behind Oscar Robinson. But you will take those eight and 0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:29.800 maybe he'll find a few more in his bag as 0:12:29.840 --> 0:12:33.119 the season progresses on and even continues in the playoffs. 0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:36.080 Fifteen for Robert Covington, some big shots in the fourth 0:12:36.160 --> 0:12:39.520 quarter for him in JJ Reddick. Eighteen points for the 0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:43.640 veteran sharpshooter for the Philadelphia seventy six one eighteen one 0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:46.400 ten victory over the New York Knicks. On the other side, 0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:48.480 we'll get to the highlights right here on the sixties 0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:54.280 Radio Network.

I'm divine Givens. This 0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:07.320 is the Sixers Radio Network and Sixers postgame show, and 0:13:07.559 --> 0:13:10.240 we get to the highlights called again by Tom again. 0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:12.960 It's still great back and forth start in the first 0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:15.480 quarter by the Sixers and the Knicks. But Jolan Bad, 0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:17.959 as we pointed out, twenty nine points in the contest. 0:13:18.000 --> 0:13:20.480 He got it started early Sixers by two. Ben out 0:13:20.520 --> 0:13:23.120 the back down every single trip into the corner of 0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:26.800 Joel for three, and that's good. Ben Simmons. Really the 0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:29.840 deally has got three assists and beat with his second trade, 0:13:29.840 --> 0:13:33.240 he's got ten points. That was the second trade in 0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:35.920 his only two trades of the game. Two for five 0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:38.280 from behind the three point line for joeln bad again, 0:13:38.360 --> 0:13:42.000 twenty nine points in thirty one minutes and fifty three seconds. 0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:46.120 Sixes and Knicks tied thirty two thirty two after one 0:13:46.240 --> 0:13:49.520 quarter and Robert Covington, as we pointed out, very good night, 0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:52.160 very good bounceback night from behind the arc five of 0:13:52.320 --> 0:13:55.120 seven for fifteen points and thirty one minutes. Here are 0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:57.800 three of them. Sixers go to Marco into the corner 0:13:57.800 --> 0:13:59.840 of coming to the wide open three ball is go. 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:03.760 Look Robert Covington running to a spot in the left quarter, 0:14:04.400 --> 0:14:07.240 catching and scoring a nice feed by both McConnell and 0:14:07.320 --> 0:14:10.559 Bella Nellie. As the Sixers and Knicks kept jockeying for 0:14:11.120 --> 0:14:15.239 the lead that made it forty three forty one Sixers. 0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:17.199 Later on in the game, as things started going for 0:14:17.320 --> 0:14:19.280 the Knicks, they went on a nice run call Quinn 0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:20.960 did in fact get a dunk to make it fifty 0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:24.160 nine fifty two. Had a little momentum jj Reddick towards 0:14:24.200 --> 0:14:26.400 the end of the quarter made it sixty one to 0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:29.960 fifty seven. At the half. The Sixers trail to New 0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:32.880 York Knicks sixty eight to sixty. But Robert Covington again 0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:36.040 just simply finding his way tonight, had a really good 0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:39.120 stroke going and once again from behind the three point line, 0:14:39.480 --> 0:14:42.960 Simmons of the range rebound out to Covington for three 0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:47.480 on the left side, and that's good. Third three by Covington, Simmons, 0:14:47.520 --> 0:14:49.840 a rebound and an assist. That's how he does it. 0:14:50.400 --> 0:14:53.880 Nine for cub Sixers too, within eight. That made it 0:14:54.000 --> 0:14:56.800 seventy two sixty four Knicks, and again they just had 0:14:56.800 --> 0:14:59.040 it rolling and going on, and part of that was 0:14:59.120 --> 0:15:02.480 due to WB. As Tom again has pointed out during 0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:05.880 the entire broadcast, that would be mister walking bucket and 0:15:06.160 --> 0:15:08.880 Michael Beasley is what he likes to be called out 0:15:08.920 --> 0:15:11.760 to Beasley. Beasley wheeling a deality into the lane. Now 0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:16.240 steps back, baseline, fadeaway. It's good, Michael Beasley. Dan sit 0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:19.240 down the right side with a step back baseline jumper. 0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:23.080 He's got twenty one. He's ten for twelve, eighty one, 0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:26.840 sixty nine for the Knicks. After that bucket, Beasley ended 0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:29.680 up with twenty four points in eleven of sixteen shooting 0:15:29.720 --> 0:15:31.800 air sound Ilio Silva with the bucket to make it 0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:35.480 eighty seven to seventy eight after three ninety one eighty 0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:38.120 three knicks in front. At the start of the fourth quarter, 0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:41.200 that's when the six has really started to again get there. 0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:44.840 Broove going and Joelan Bead, who had a dominant night, 0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:47.080 continued to show that at the start of the fourth 0:15:47.320 --> 0:15:50.080 and Beads come back in the game. Lib played at 0:15:50.160 --> 0:15:52.400 him and he slams it. Robert coming to with a 0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:57.800 lob and Joella Bead throws it down and Kyle O'Quinn 0:15:57.960 --> 0:16:02.280 called for the foul, ablishing himself in the final frame 0:16:02.400 --> 0:16:06.200 ninety one eighty six knicks still in front, ear sound. 0:16:06.240 --> 0:16:09.400 Iliasova did connect from behind the arc and here three 0:16:09.600 --> 0:16:12.640 ninety five ninety one nicks stray Burke had a fantastic 0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:14.840 knife for the knicks off the bench. He really got 0:16:14.840 --> 0:16:17.160 it going early, but he did convert a bucket later 0:16:17.240 --> 0:16:22.040 on after Iliasova for his uh one of his sixteenth points. 0:16:22.120 --> 0:16:25.680 On the evening, Ben Simmons aggressive started to find his 0:16:25.760 --> 0:16:27.800 way as well. One on one ninety five after a 0:16:28.040 --> 0:16:31.920 dunk Robert Cummington again just solid overall from behind the 0:16:32.040 --> 0:16:34.440 arc five of eight. Here's one to give the Sixes 0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:36.960 the league. Finally in the fourth and now with Pete 0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:39.640 Garch Boodya, here's Booty out a drive, hit baby blocked 0:16:39.680 --> 0:16:42.360 this shot, knocks him down and he has something to 0:16:42.400 --> 0:16:45.200 say about it. Six Ers score five out four bets 0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:47.120 got the ball. Boodya is still out there and now 0:16:47.160 --> 0:16:49.280 here's coming to the JJ up with three for Roddick 0:16:49.440 --> 0:16:53.920 is god j K Ruddick knock it down. That's why 0:16:54.080 --> 0:16:56.800 you hear Joel Embiad's name and defensive Player of the 0:16:56.840 --> 0:17:00.360 Year conversations for a play like that on Emmanuel Moody 0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:03.280 guarding the point guard on a perimeter, taking them all 0:17:03.320 --> 0:17:05.679 the way to the basket, blocking it and then again 0:17:05.880 --> 0:17:08.760 allowing the sixty sixes to get out in transition. JJ 0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:11.800 Reddit connecting from three, giving them a one ten, one 0:17:11.840 --> 0:17:15.439 oh six advantage. Dario Charge icing on top one thirteen, 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:18.479 one oh six after his Maye three, and the Sixes 0:17:18.520 --> 0:17:21.560 again come away with the victory. One eighteen, one ten 0:17:21.800 --> 0:17:24.679 at the garden at the five thirty mark, Emmanuel Moodier, 0:17:24.760 --> 0:17:26.720 speaking of him, hit a jumper to make it one 0:17:26.760 --> 0:17:30.040 oh four to ninety eight. Then the Sixers went on 0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:32.840 a twenty to six run to end the game to 0:17:32.920 --> 0:17:35.720 give them the advantage again in New York for the 0:17:35.800 --> 0:17:39.360 victory one eighteen one ten. So a solid nite overall 0:17:39.440 --> 0:17:42.080 for the Philadelphia seventy six. Is slow start, but they 0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:44.560 found their way and again as you improve as a 0:17:44.600 --> 0:17:46.800 team and you look to them as a playoff team 0:17:46.800 --> 0:17:48.959 and they try to figure things out as they go 0:17:49.440 --> 0:17:51.199 games like this. While you may not like it in 0:17:51.240 --> 0:17:54.200 the beginning, you certainly enjoy the result as they fought 0:17:54.280 --> 0:17:57.080 and clawed their way back and picked up this victory 0:17:57.119 --> 0:18:00.800 their thirty seventh. Now on the season, Sixes again dominated 0:18:00.840 --> 0:18:04.160 on the glass fifty three to forty four, twenty nine 0:18:04.200 --> 0:18:07.159 assists on forty one mate baskets. You always love when 0:18:07.160 --> 0:18:09.359 they share the basketball. They did get to the free 0:18:09.359 --> 0:18:12.880 throw line thirty four times, but only converting twenty one 0:18:12.920 --> 0:18:15.320 of them. You hope they can improve that. You're certainly 0:18:15.320 --> 0:18:17.600 going to need that once you do, in fact get 0:18:17.640 --> 0:18:20.240 into the postseason making the shots that they are free, 0:18:20.280 --> 0:18:22.719 So you hope that they can continue to improve on 0:18:22.800 --> 0:18:26.879 that on any given night, and also on the glass, 0:18:26.920 --> 0:18:29.480 simply in the paint. The forty four to forty the 0:18:29.560 --> 0:18:33.320 Knicks with the advantage their second chance points for the Sixers, 0:18:33.400 --> 0:18:36.480 they took that one eighteen to eighty fast break points 0:18:36.520 --> 0:18:41.159 fourteen to twelve. Sixers win that win, that one also 0:18:41.240 --> 0:18:44.360 so again Sixers with a big win one eighteen, one 0:18:44.480 --> 0:18:47.320 ten over the New York Knicks, improving to thirty seven 0:18:47.400 --> 0:18:50.400 and thirty on the season. Right now, when you look 0:18:50.440 --> 0:18:53.040 at the standings in the Eastern Conference, they still remain 0:18:53.160 --> 0:18:56.399 in the sixth place, one game behind the Washington Wizards 0:18:56.440 --> 0:18:59.480 in the fifth spot and two games behind both Cleveland, 0:18:59.800 --> 0:19:02.359 Indiana holding down the third in the fourth spot in 0:19:02.480 --> 0:19:05.359 the tie.
