WEBVTT - The BroadCast: 01/31/2018 - Rewind vs. Nets

0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:02.720
<v Speaker 1>Stop the presses. Let's go live to Brett Brown right

0:00:02.720 --> 0:00:05.160
<v Speaker 1>now outside the Sixers locker room. I think, you know,

0:00:05.280 --> 0:00:07.880
<v Speaker 1>you walk that tight rope of trying to guard good

0:00:07.920 --> 0:00:11.520
<v Speaker 1>guards that can penetrate and also good guards that you

0:00:11.560 --> 0:00:14.840
<v Speaker 1>know can can shoot the three. And uh, we we

0:00:14.920 --> 0:00:17.560
<v Speaker 1>really had no answer for their point. For their point

0:00:17.560 --> 0:00:21.120
<v Speaker 1>guards didn Wittie and D'Angelo. I thought I had great games,

0:00:21.160 --> 0:00:24.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, as a team. They made some threes and

0:00:24.600 --> 0:00:32.239
<v Speaker 1>we really tonight had a difficult time defending them. How

0:00:32.280 --> 0:00:41.560
<v Speaker 1>about what efficiently Joel and Dario set screens in general

0:00:41.560 --> 0:00:44.960
<v Speaker 1>and tonight, I mean, I think it's always something that

0:00:45.080 --> 0:00:47.479
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's a partnership you're trying to get better at.

0:00:48.040 --> 0:00:50.840
<v Speaker 1>I think when you have a pick and roll situation,

0:00:50.920 --> 0:00:52.720
<v Speaker 1>it's a partnership where you got to set up the

0:00:53.120 --> 0:00:56.600
<v Speaker 1>screen maybe better than we do. Um. You know, I

0:00:56.640 --> 0:01:01.440
<v Speaker 1>think Amia's veteran sort of ex experience allows him to

0:01:01.560 --> 0:01:04.839
<v Speaker 1>navigate screen setting a lot easier than the other young guys.

0:01:05.280 --> 0:01:09.200
<v Speaker 1>In general, you're always looking to set better screens this game.

0:01:09.800 --> 0:01:12.160
<v Speaker 1>You go back as safe we had done this, it

0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:14.520
<v Speaker 1>would have turned out differently. What would it have ended?

0:01:15.319 --> 0:01:18.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you go to this sort of They are

0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:25.040
<v Speaker 1>an analytic sort of you know, blueprint to how young

0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:27.639
<v Speaker 1>teams want to play. They want to either shoot threes,

0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:33.119
<v Speaker 1>get fouled, or get layups. You know, get to the rim,

0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:36.640
<v Speaker 1>get foul, shoot threes, and the volume of threes we

0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:41.160
<v Speaker 1>knew we're gonna come. I think it's just that individual

0:01:41.920 --> 0:01:44.840
<v Speaker 1>sort of pride and guarding you men and sticking to

0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:48.320
<v Speaker 1>our rules. Like got edited at halftime, was rogue, Like

0:01:48.320 --> 0:01:52.560
<v Speaker 1>we're leaving corners. You know, we're overhelping. I help that

0:01:52.720 --> 0:01:55.920
<v Speaker 1>we were sort of directing the players too, wasn't there.

0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:58.680
<v Speaker 1>And I think that defensively we will poor that that's

0:01:58.680 --> 0:02:00.720
<v Speaker 1>who we are. You know, I think with third or

0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:03.760
<v Speaker 1>fourth in the NBA, I like where we're trending defensively.

0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:07.520
<v Speaker 1>But tonight, you know, you felt like you were twenty

0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:10.880
<v Speaker 1>four and the three point shot, containment of the ball

0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:12.880
<v Speaker 1>are the things that I believe I'm going to see

0:02:12.919 --> 0:02:14.560
<v Speaker 1>in the in the table. Does that happen at the

0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:17.960
<v Speaker 1>end of the road trip. Maybe it can't, though, like

0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:21.280
<v Speaker 1>maybe it can't. Maybe maybe it does, but it just can't.

0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:25.320
<v Speaker 1>Like you know, this is the NBA, and so you

0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:28.200
<v Speaker 1>know we we we leave disappointed. That's a poor loss.

0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:32.160
<v Speaker 1>And you know we we didn't guard. We're gonna look

0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:35.119
<v Speaker 1>at some things offensively. You know, I got to find

0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:38.080
<v Speaker 1>a way to get Cove way more involved. You know,

0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:42.120
<v Speaker 1>he needs to be way more involved. And I thought

0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:44.640
<v Speaker 1>that a bench, you know, struggle tonight. When you start

0:02:44.680 --> 0:02:48.400
<v Speaker 1>looking at the raw numbers of the bench, that's Brett Brown,

0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:51.800
<v Speaker 1>Robert Coving today at six points in the game, and

0:02:51.880 --> 0:02:55.520
<v Speaker 1>among the bench scoring McConnell too, Amir Johnson seven, Anderson

0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:58.520
<v Speaker 1>at two, Booker at six, and that's it. So again

0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:02.240
<v Speaker 1>the final one six, one o eight, the Brooklyn Nets

0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:06.160
<v Speaker 1>defeat the seventy Sixers. Brett Brown calling it a bad laws.

0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:09.440
<v Speaker 1>We'll have Brian Seltzer next from our flagship station. Our

0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:13.560
<v Speaker 1>postgame coverage continues after this. This is the Philadelphia seventy

0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:18.880
<v Speaker 1>six Ers radio network all at all. It was a

0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:22.160
<v Speaker 1>respectable month of January for these seventy sixers, but on

0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:25.240
<v Speaker 1>the final day of the month, definitely, definitely not the

0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:28.760
<v Speaker 1>outcome this team was looking for. Sixers fallen Brooklyn one

0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:30.880
<v Speaker 1>sixteen to one O eight in the finale of a

0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:35.440
<v Speaker 1>four game trip. Sixers had a relatively full complement of

0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:38.640
<v Speaker 1>players on the roster available tonight got off to a

0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:41.000
<v Speaker 1>great start, led by nine points early on in the

0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:44.280
<v Speaker 1>first quarter, but then suffered what was kind of a

0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:46.440
<v Speaker 1>tone setting draft for the rest of the game. At

0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:49.400
<v Speaker 1>the end of the first into the second, Dangel Russell

0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:52.840
<v Speaker 1>got hot, Spencer Dinwoodie was potent throughout the game and

0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:56.480
<v Speaker 1>the backcourt for Brooklyn. On a balanced night for the Nets,

0:03:56.680 --> 0:03:58.880
<v Speaker 1>which entered with a record of eighteen and thirty three,

0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:03.800
<v Speaker 1>very much difference making factors as the Sixers fall for

0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:05.680
<v Speaker 1>the third straight time and are now twenty four and

0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:08.760
<v Speaker 1>twenty four on the season with one sixteen one away

0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:12.480
<v Speaker 1>defeat to the Nets. Sixers were led by Joel Embiid

0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:14.640
<v Speaker 1>his twenty third double double of the year with twenty

0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:19.040
<v Speaker 1>nine points, fourteen rebounds and two assists. Ben Simmons aggressive

0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:21.400
<v Speaker 1>again with twenty four a fish and again eleven of

0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:25.440
<v Speaker 1>sixteen overall, two rebounds and seven assists. JJ Reddick, looking

0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:28.520
<v Speaker 1>relatively sharp in his return, had some good moments, got

0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:30.960
<v Speaker 1>into a rhythm it looked like for him twenty points

0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:32.560
<v Speaker 1>in the game, nine to ten from the free throw

0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:35.240
<v Speaker 1>line and three for four from outside the arc, but

0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:38.160
<v Speaker 1>it was the Nets. After the Sixers went up by

0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:41.120
<v Speaker 1>one ninety two to ninety one early in the fourth

0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:45.159
<v Speaker 1>quarter that answered with an eleven Zip run, and ironically enough,

0:04:45.480 --> 0:04:48.279
<v Speaker 1>it was Nick Stowskis who hit the three pointer to

0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:51.440
<v Speaker 1>get it going and Jalil okafor who capped the stretch

0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:54.599
<v Speaker 1>off with a two pointer over Embiid that represented a

0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:56.800
<v Speaker 1>key juncture of the game that helped set up the

0:04:56.800 --> 0:04:59.479
<v Speaker 1>Brooklyn Nets a little bit further and more comfortably for

0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:02.400
<v Speaker 1>a win. Tonight, Tom mc ginnis called the game at

0:05:02.440 --> 0:05:06.039
<v Speaker 1>Barclays Center this evening, Tom, the NEPs. We talked about

0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:08.400
<v Speaker 1>this before the game. This is an upstart team. It's

0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:11.799
<v Speaker 1>a team that plays fast and as Brett Brown discussed afterwards,

0:05:11.920 --> 0:05:14.400
<v Speaker 1>very analytically minded and a lot of those factors combined

0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:16.240
<v Speaker 1>as they shot the ball well from outside the arc

0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:18.320
<v Speaker 1>and the win. Yeah, they really did. They played well,

0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:20.839
<v Speaker 1>no question about it. And like I said, you know

0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:23.080
<v Speaker 1>who knew Spencer Dinwit he is this good. But he

0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:26.640
<v Speaker 1>had twenty seven points, got fouled, made his free throws,

0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:29.680
<v Speaker 1>good point on the book end baskets by the former

0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:33.480
<v Speaker 1>Sixers and Stauskas and Okah four and you know, you'd

0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:35.919
<v Speaker 1>have to think, without question numerically in terms of what

0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:39.520
<v Speaker 1>Brett Brown said, you know, shooting threes and all that.

0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:41.200
<v Speaker 1>They had a great night and one of their better

0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:43.920
<v Speaker 1>nights of the year shooting, and it came against the

0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:46.400
<v Speaker 1>Sixers defense that I thought was pretty good early on

0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:49.040
<v Speaker 1>when the Sixers took a four point lead. But as

0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:51.320
<v Speaker 1>you say that, there was that spell toward the end,

0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:53.919
<v Speaker 1>which was in the end that one of the differences

0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:55.800
<v Speaker 1>in the game. But there was another eleven o run

0:05:56.320 --> 0:05:59.440
<v Speaker 1>and they opened the second quarter and an eight o run.

0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:02.760
<v Speaker 1>It's just, you know, those spurts. It's just like losing streets.

0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:04.720
<v Speaker 1>You can't allow them to get the three and four.

0:06:04.720 --> 0:06:06.920
<v Speaker 1>You got to nip them a two. You know, the

0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:10.920
<v Speaker 1>really good teams are able to stay even and trend upwards,

0:06:10.960 --> 0:06:13.480
<v Speaker 1>stay over that mean line if you wele that median,

0:06:14.520 --> 0:06:16.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, like you want to be trending upward and

0:06:16.600 --> 0:06:19.320
<v Speaker 1>be peaking, and the same thing in a game, you

0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:21.839
<v Speaker 1>just can't allow the opposition to get away from you.

0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:24.520
<v Speaker 1>And that's what happened here and Brooklyn saw an opening,

0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:25.919
<v Speaker 1>they took it and they get a big win for

0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:28.680
<v Speaker 1>themselves at home here tonight over the six Ers one

0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:31.520
<v Speaker 1>sixteen went away at the final score from Barclays Center

0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:35.159
<v Speaker 1>three ties, but twenty one lead changes in tonight's game.

0:06:35.400 --> 0:06:37.120
<v Speaker 1>It seemed like Tom the Nets were able to start

0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:39.279
<v Speaker 1>to get inside, get through the pain in the second

0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:41.960
<v Speaker 1>half that helped turn things. And you could tell listening

0:06:41.960 --> 0:06:44.200
<v Speaker 1>to Brett Brown afterwards, Listen, we know that this is

0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:46.000
<v Speaker 1>now going on five years, he's not going to pull

0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:48.440
<v Speaker 1>any punches. That this was one, and he spoke about

0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:50.600
<v Speaker 1>it with you beforehand, that it's like, you look at

0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:53.159
<v Speaker 1>opportunities and a very tightly packed bottom half of the

0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:56.360
<v Speaker 1>Eastern Conference top eight standings, and this was one they

0:06:56.360 --> 0:07:00.400
<v Speaker 1>had their sightset on. They did, and again they don't

0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:02.200
<v Speaker 1>really look at it like we look at it as

0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:06.159
<v Speaker 1>fans or you know, I call ourselves reporters. But on

0:07:06.200 --> 0:07:08.760
<v Speaker 1>the other hand, you know, big picture, as you said,

0:07:08.760 --> 0:07:10.680
<v Speaker 1>he didn't dodge it. This is a game you should win.

0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:12.160
<v Speaker 1>You want to you want to get to the playoffs.

0:07:12.160 --> 0:07:15.280
<v Speaker 1>You got a game a team fifteen games under five hundred.

0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:18.720
<v Speaker 1>It's the type of game you gotta take care of.

0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:21.440
<v Speaker 1>And let's be honest. The Sixers, you know, you go

0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:23.960
<v Speaker 1>to Memphis, that's another game you probably could have should

0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:25.920
<v Speaker 1>have won. On paper. You're like, all right, they're struggling

0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:29.160
<v Speaker 1>this year. This guy's out Parsons is out, Conley's out,

0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:32.080
<v Speaker 1>and on and on, and then the Sacramento games, the

0:07:32.200 --> 0:07:35.080
<v Speaker 1>Phoenix games. I mean that's just and then you know,

0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:37.520
<v Speaker 1>let's give credit where credits to these players and these

0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:40.640
<v Speaker 1>teams are they're they're really good. I mean there's no layups,

0:07:41.560 --> 0:07:44.040
<v Speaker 1>you know. So it's not easy, you got it. That's

0:07:44.040 --> 0:07:45.960
<v Speaker 1>why as coaches, you gotta got to take care of

0:07:46.000 --> 0:07:48.480
<v Speaker 1>business and make sure you guys are in a position,

0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:50.840
<v Speaker 1>your team is in a position to continue to excel

0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:54.560
<v Speaker 1>and be in position to succeed. But yeah, it's tough,

0:07:54.880 --> 0:07:57.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, coming in, You're right, this is a game

0:07:57.040 --> 0:07:59.520
<v Speaker 1>you think the Sixers should win, as I said last

0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:03.320
<v Speaker 1>night earlier, But last night the Knicks beat the Nets

0:08:03.320 --> 0:08:06.320
<v Speaker 1>for the fourth time, and now the Sixers are ahead

0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:08.680
<v Speaker 1>of the Knicks by not by much. And you got

0:08:08.680 --> 0:08:10.400
<v Speaker 1>one of your opponents, you know, a team that's going

0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:12.960
<v Speaker 1>to be buying for a spot as well, beating them

0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:16.120
<v Speaker 1>four times and you can't beat them. So three more

0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:18.760
<v Speaker 1>games with them and then a huge weekend coming up.

0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:22.240
<v Speaker 1>But the Sixers one step forward and right now forty

0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:24.880
<v Speaker 1>eight I mean one step back. They're even five hundred

0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:27.320
<v Speaker 1>after forty eight. Well you make the point after tonight

0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:29.840
<v Speaker 1>sixteen one o eight lost a big back to back

0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:33.160
<v Speaker 1>home road coming up this weekend Friday, National TV against

0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:36.760
<v Speaker 1>a Miami Heat team that recently ripped off seven straight wins,

0:08:36.760 --> 0:08:39.360
<v Speaker 1>their fourth and the East. Currently they're trailing Cleveland by

0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:42.680
<v Speaker 1>three on the road, and then Indiana it's seventh and

0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:45.000
<v Speaker 1>a couple of games ahead of the Sixers. That's on Saturday.

0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:47.760
<v Speaker 1>They beat Memphis at home tonight one oh five, one

0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:50.559
<v Speaker 1>on one. So a few teams in Memphis and Indie

0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:53.600
<v Speaker 1>that maybe you don't hear a ton about nationally, but

0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:56.480
<v Speaker 1>they've played really well this year. Absolutely, And I'll see

0:08:56.480 --> 0:08:58.040
<v Speaker 1>you two in raise you one and that is wen

0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:00.800
<v Speaker 1>or Tuesday. The Sixers have washing. Yeah, that's right. So

0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:02.920
<v Speaker 1>you keep hoping for the sixth and they just didn't.

0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:05.000
<v Speaker 1>They went three games over five hundred, but that win

0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:08.480
<v Speaker 1>at San Antonio, and overall they've been playing well coming

0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:11.600
<v Speaker 1>into this game, having one nine of twelve. But you know,

0:09:11.600 --> 0:09:14.719
<v Speaker 1>and you keep waiting for what now. You almost has

0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:18.200
<v Speaker 1>to be a pretty substantial winning street to put yourself

0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:21.079
<v Speaker 1>in a position where you could feel pretty good going

0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:23.960
<v Speaker 1>into the last third of the season. You know, around

0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:25.920
<v Speaker 1>the end of February, where you know you're going to

0:09:26.000 --> 0:09:28.800
<v Speaker 1>be in the playoffs, but it's still it's still up

0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:31.640
<v Speaker 1>for grabs at five hundred right now. So and those

0:09:31.679 --> 0:09:33.800
<v Speaker 1>are those are tough teams. And here's another. Here's a

0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:36.160
<v Speaker 1>team in Miami. The Sixers are gonna play four times,

0:09:37.000 --> 0:09:39.960
<v Speaker 1>including two times in the not too distant future down there.

0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:44.160
<v Speaker 1>And to your point about Indiana, Victor Oladipo, you're like, wow,

0:09:44.200 --> 0:09:47.439
<v Speaker 1>they lost poor Paul George. Well he's matured. And I'll

0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:50.360
<v Speaker 1>tell you one thing with Indiana and Oladipo just reading

0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:52.199
<v Speaker 1>a little bit about that ball club from a few

0:09:52.200 --> 0:09:55.920
<v Speaker 1>weeks back. But you know, Kevin Pritchard went out and

0:09:56.760 --> 0:09:59.320
<v Speaker 1>met with Victor Oladipo said, look, we want you. And

0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:01.760
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a of a young player really coming

0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:03.880
<v Speaker 1>into his own in his fourth season, I believe, fifth

0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:06.520
<v Speaker 1>season in the NBA, where now he has confidence, he's

0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:09.800
<v Speaker 1>got great ability, and he's playing real So bonus is good.

0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:12.840
<v Speaker 1>They got some good young talent and I think everybody

0:10:12.920 --> 0:10:15.680
<v Speaker 1>kind of projected in Indiana would be struggling and rebuilding.

0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:19.280
<v Speaker 1>Well guess what they're in the mix. So yeah, so

0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:21.400
<v Speaker 1>for the Sixers, you just got it. They've been playing

0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:24.240
<v Speaker 1>well again. They shot it well, all these things well,

0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:27.360
<v Speaker 1>they just didn't defend well tonight good enough to win

0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:29.200
<v Speaker 1>the game. And it's it's hard to win on the road.

0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:31.040
<v Speaker 1>And it comes and you come away with an l.

0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:34.360
<v Speaker 1>Here at Berkeley Center in Brooklyn, only about two hours

0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:37.480
<v Speaker 1>away from home. Tom, have an easy trip back. Thank you, Bryan.

0:10:37.559 --> 0:10:40.199
<v Speaker 1>Good Night one sixteen one On eighth, the final score

0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:43.600
<v Speaker 1>nets over the seventy sixers and beat with twenty nine

0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:47.040
<v Speaker 1>and fourteen, Simmons with twenty four, Reddick with twenty but

0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:53.000
<v Speaker 1>guys named Dinwitty twenty seven, Angel Russell twenty two, loved

0:10:53.120 --> 0:10:55.800
<v Speaker 1>Marie Carol, Jared Allen, Alan Crabb came up with some

0:10:55.840 --> 0:10:57.560
<v Speaker 1>big plays in the second half as well. We'll get

0:10:57.600 --> 0:10:59.920
<v Speaker 1>to some of Tom's highlight calls on the other side

0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:02.400
<v Speaker 1>as we roll along. One more segment on the postgame

0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:05.600
<v Speaker 1>show before Devon gives takes over on ninety seventy five

0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:12.559
<v Speaker 1>and the Sixers Radio Network, seventy Sixers were trying to

0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:16.320
<v Speaker 1>catch up on some sleep going into tonight's game in Brooklyn.

0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:19.920
<v Speaker 1>They'd been really busy on the road San Antonio, OKAC

0:11:20.320 --> 0:11:23.800
<v Speaker 1>back to back ending on Monday in Brooklyn and the

0:11:23.840 --> 0:11:25.640
<v Speaker 1>goal for the Sixers tonight to try and get back

0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:28.360
<v Speaker 1>on track. Brian Seltzer with you from Sixers dot com.

0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:30.040
<v Speaker 1>Here are some of the highlights from the fourth and

0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:32.920
<v Speaker 1>final game of this road trip. It was a solid

0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:35.439
<v Speaker 1>start for the Sixers. Ben Simmons scored six out of

0:11:35.440 --> 0:11:38.160
<v Speaker 1>the first eight points, Joel and Bead getting things going

0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:41.360
<v Speaker 1>from the perimeter, and the Sixers by four with eight

0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:42.880
<v Speaker 1>twenty to go in the opening quarter. Going right and

0:11:43.000 --> 0:11:45.600
<v Speaker 1>left a white uniform. Here's a three buying beach shot here,

0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:51.640
<v Speaker 1>and that's good time out Brooklyn Kenny Atkinson says time out. Yeah,

0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:53.880
<v Speaker 1>that made it fourteen to seven. And within the first

0:11:53.960 --> 0:11:55.600
<v Speaker 1>three and a half minutes of the game, the Sixers

0:11:55.600 --> 0:11:57.480
<v Speaker 1>had gone two for two from outside the ark. And

0:11:57.480 --> 0:11:59.960
<v Speaker 1>if you follow these things closely, you would probably know

0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:02.719
<v Speaker 1>that they went two for twenty six from outside the

0:12:02.800 --> 0:12:05.480
<v Speaker 1>arc and Monday's loss a Milwaukee, so that was nice

0:12:05.480 --> 0:12:06.960
<v Speaker 1>to see. It was also nice to see the Sixers

0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:09.599
<v Speaker 1>built up a nine point lead thirty two twenty three

0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:12.160
<v Speaker 1>into the closing moments of the first quarter, but then

0:12:12.520 --> 0:12:15.040
<v Speaker 1>a spell hit. The Sixers led thirty four thirty going

0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:17.439
<v Speaker 1>into the second, but a nice run by the Nets

0:12:17.440 --> 0:12:19.480
<v Speaker 1>got them not only back in the game, but in front.

0:12:19.520 --> 0:12:22.120
<v Speaker 1>It was fueled by d'anzel Russell. They scored eleven of

0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:25.840
<v Speaker 1>the first thirteen points of quarter number two. The Sixers

0:12:25.840 --> 0:12:28.360
<v Speaker 1>were searching for some sort of response, and then Ben

0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:32.400
<v Speaker 1>Simmons flicked the hard driving switch at Brooklyn by four

0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:35.839
<v Speaker 1>forty three thirty nine. Here Simmons blowing by everybody, reverse jap,

0:12:36.160 --> 0:12:41.400
<v Speaker 1>twisted dirt and the Cruts going crazy. They love fantastic basketball.

0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:46.600
<v Speaker 1>At Simmons from down under, twisted turned slabs, two point game.

0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:49.760
<v Speaker 1>The old Ben Simmons was trending in the Twitter sphere

0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:53.040
<v Speaker 1>at one point tonight, probably as a result of that dunk.

0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:56.120
<v Speaker 1>It was phenomenal. They got the Sixers right back into

0:12:56.160 --> 0:12:59.160
<v Speaker 1>it and very encouraging to see JJ Reddick's first appearance

0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:02.000
<v Speaker 1>in eight games getting into a rhythm late in the

0:13:02.080 --> 0:13:05.360
<v Speaker 1>first half. Back to Reddick near side, dribble, side steps

0:13:05.360 --> 0:13:08.040
<v Speaker 1>a man right in, two point ed. He got it it,

0:13:08.240 --> 0:13:11.160
<v Speaker 1>hit rib, backboard, back to the rim, bounded twice on

0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:13.600
<v Speaker 1>the rim, and then in and Reddick for what could

0:13:13.640 --> 0:13:16.360
<v Speaker 1>not be a three point play. It was, and it

0:13:16.440 --> 0:13:18.480
<v Speaker 1>put the Sixers in front fifty to forty nine. But

0:13:18.520 --> 0:13:21.800
<v Speaker 1>Brooklyn answered with the next nine points. The Sixers led

0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:24.800
<v Speaker 1>sixty five to sixty four going into intermission. In the

0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:28.360
<v Speaker 1>third quarter, still very tight, tense back and forth pace.

0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:32.000
<v Speaker 1>Dario sharts sending the Sixers back into the lead five

0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:35.439
<v Speaker 1>to shoot. Simmons off the dribble to Dario and charge

0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:39.559
<v Speaker 1>for three. If that's it. The seventy Sixers with two

0:13:39.880 --> 0:13:43.959
<v Speaker 1>late shot clock baskets in their last trip trips and

0:13:44.120 --> 0:13:46.480
<v Speaker 1>made it seventy seven to seventy five. Dams Or Russell

0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:50.120
<v Speaker 1>again late in the third, rearing his very impactful head

0:13:50.280 --> 0:13:52.480
<v Speaker 1>and he put the nets up ninety one eighty eight.

0:13:52.600 --> 0:13:55.280
<v Speaker 1>Going into the fourth, two quick baskets by the Sixers

0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:58.520
<v Speaker 1>gave them the lead back, then eleven straight points by

0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:00.840
<v Speaker 1>the Nets. The runs started with the three from Nick

0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:04.520
<v Speaker 1>Stoskus and ended on a two from jalil Oka four,

0:14:04.800 --> 0:14:07.280
<v Speaker 1>But the Sixers wouldn't let the nets get too far away.

0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:09.440
<v Speaker 1>Joel and bead with a late flurry in the fourth

0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:13.360
<v Speaker 1>Joel catches politics hit and left side left ped dribble back,

0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:15.720
<v Speaker 1>eat it nut. Jared Allen Allen banked into a British

0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:18.000
<v Speaker 1>shoot it beat on the movies gotta put it up.

0:14:18.120 --> 0:14:20.240
<v Speaker 1>He does it the basket that scores it off the

0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:23.840
<v Speaker 1>glass in the nick of time, Joel a beat next

0:14:23.880 --> 0:14:26.560
<v Speaker 1>to the four point game two h five to go,

0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:29.440
<v Speaker 1>Brooklyn got it back, made it one thirteen, one oh

0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:32.320
<v Speaker 1>seven and two really big missed opportunities by the Sixers.

0:14:32.320 --> 0:14:36.960
<v Speaker 1>A turnover followed by Robert Covington splitting threes missed the second.

0:14:37.280 --> 0:14:39.720
<v Speaker 1>Sixers not able to get the loose ball rebound after that,

0:14:39.960 --> 0:14:42.240
<v Speaker 1>as Brooklyn ends up with an eight point win tonight.

0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:46.080
<v Speaker 1>Final notes from the final stat sheet. In this evening's game,

0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:50.320
<v Speaker 1>the seventy Sixers shot just over forty seven percent from

0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:52.880
<v Speaker 1>the field, Brooklyn fifty and a half percent, six or

0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:55.480
<v Speaker 1>seven of eighteen from outside the arc. Brooklyn was thirteen

0:14:55.520 --> 0:14:57.720
<v Speaker 1>of thirty two. That was a big difference six or

0:14:57.760 --> 0:15:00.000
<v Speaker 1>twenty nine to thirty four from the line that helped them.

0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:03.080
<v Speaker 1>Brooklyn also study at twenty five of twenty eight the

0:15:03.120 --> 0:15:05.760
<v Speaker 1>Sixers best rebounding team in the league in terms of

0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:08.800
<v Speaker 1>rebounds per game. They were outdone by six on the

0:15:08.840 --> 0:15:11.880
<v Speaker 1>glass tonight. Brooklyn also had him on the offensive boards

0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:16.600
<v Speaker 1>a season low eight turnovers for the Sixers, fourteen for Brooklyn, Spencer,

0:15:16.640 --> 0:15:20.000
<v Speaker 1>Dinwoodie and d'azel Russell Big for the Nets. They combined

0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:23.320
<v Speaker 1>for forty nine points. Jared Allen had sixteen and twelve

0:15:23.400 --> 0:15:26.000
<v Speaker 1>to Maori Carrol with fifteen and Alan crab with fourteen

0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:28.480
<v Speaker 1>for the Sixers duel and B twenty nine and fourteen,

0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:31.360
<v Speaker 1>Ben Simmons with twenty four, two and seven twenty for

0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:33.400
<v Speaker 1>JJ Redick in his return. He was three or four

0:15:33.480 --> 0:15:36.320
<v Speaker 1>from outside the arc and a dozen for Daro Scharch

0:15:36.440 --> 0:15:40.280
<v Speaker 1>to go along with six rebounds and four assists, three ties,

0:15:40.400 --> 0:15:43.680
<v Speaker 1>twenty one lead changes tonight. In the loss, the seventy

0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:45.480
<v Speaker 1>Sixers have now dropped three in a row. They're twenty

0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:47.840
<v Speaker 1>four and twenty four well. The Brooklyn Nets take game
