Speaker 1: I was just enjoying watching it. The course I was ready,
Speaker 1: but it was a joy. I was enjoying watching it.

Speaker 3: finally did. But you're gonna be over here going whoa,
Speaker 3: I'm wide open, right, You're gonna get some shot that there.
Speaker 3: The coach talks about a gravitational pull. Yeah, that's what
Speaker 3: it is, right, exactly.
Speaker 2: What it is.
Speaker 1: They have to double. I mean, can't regard him when
Speaker 1: he's just hitting back to back to back mid range fulloaks.
Speaker 3: How about like the way that Chicago plays. I mean,
Speaker 3: you got a lot to your game, but that's the
Speaker 3: way the game's going.
Speaker 1: Right, is crazy. I mean I think they're number one
Speaker 1: in pace in the NBA, right, and they showed it.
Speaker 1: I mean it was we score a basket, they were
Speaker 1: right away out to Levine strong drive to a.
Speaker 3: Layup any game though, Max he has a triple double,
Speaker 3: Kelly double double. I mean, it was huge for Paul
Speaker 3: played well.
Speaker 1: You just it's a great, great team performance.
Speaker 3: Exciting, right, yeah, that I mean after a long time.
Speaker 3: But at the same time, you have to realize, I
Speaker 3: think everybody kind of all right, we got this, and
Speaker 3: then here they come. You realize you got to play
Speaker 3: forty eight exactly, all right, Jared, thank you very much,
Speaker 3: appreciate it. Jared McGain our postgame guests as he ended
Speaker 3: up with a big game for the Sixers. Off the bench.
Speaker 3: He ended up with eleven points. He made three threes.
Speaker 3: Welcome back, Tom mcguinnis here in Chicago. The Sixers beat
Speaker 3: the Bulls by eight points. It was a tight fourth
Speaker 3: quarter with the Bulls getting close. They had gotten it
Speaker 3: down to four, but the Sixers respond and hold them off.
Speaker 3: The Sixers with a big second quarter that ended up
Speaker 3: being the big difference in the game. They scored thirty
Speaker 3: nine points. He outscored the Bulls by twenty two points
Speaker 3: in the second quarter and that offset a ten point
Speaker 3: first quarter deficit. In other words, the Bulls led thirty
Speaker 3: three twenty three. They got two buzzer beater three pointers,
Speaker 3: one at the end of the first by Kobe White
Speaker 3: and one at the end of the third by Jalen Smith.
Speaker 3: And we'll hear both of those when we get to
Speaker 3: our highlights. But the first thing we're gonna do this
Speaker 3: is our Parks Casino postgame. Nick Nurse has settled in
Speaker 3: in the post conference, the postgame press conference. Let's listen
Speaker 3: in as coach handles the first question, it's about Joelle
Speaker 3: and be Here's sixers, coach Nick Nurse.
Speaker 4: Yeah, certainly big turnaround from the first quarter, right. You
Speaker 4: were in that stage of kind of, oh, you know
Speaker 4: what's gonna go on here tonight, and then all of
Speaker 4: a sudden, certainly caught fire there with a little bit
Speaker 4: of variety. I know, it kind of seemed like a
Speaker 4: lot of file line jumpers, which it was, but he
Speaker 4: snuck in a roll or two. We snuck in a
Speaker 4: couple of post ups or two. No three balls tonight,
Speaker 4: but a little variety there. But yeah, certainly I think
Speaker 4: gave us a lot of confidence. But obviously we guarded
Speaker 4: really well. This team has been averaging one hundred and
Speaker 4: twenty seven a game over their last five I think
Speaker 4: we rebounded extremely well tonight both ends.
Speaker 2: You talked about the defense of that you expanding all
Speaker 2: of that, just what what do you feel like has
Speaker 2: most clicked into place like to allow you to do
Speaker 2: that and.
Speaker 4: Continue to run your Yeah, I mean, so we played
Speaker 4: two different man demand defenses tonight, and we played two
Speaker 4: different zones tonight. So that's the first thing. We got
Speaker 4: a little bit of a menu which we've been using lately.
Speaker 4: And then in the man demand stuff, they're just doing
Speaker 4: such a better job of handing off personnel to each other,
Speaker 4: like they're communicating really well when we're doing a lot
Speaker 4: of switching. But when there's a little on big, we
Speaker 4: somehow find out find a way to get our big
Speaker 4: back on the big and our little back on a
Speaker 4: somewhat you know, better matchup. And then the adjustments. You know,
Speaker 4: there's a ton of a joke once that go with that,
Speaker 4: And we don't have a ton of them down, but
Speaker 4: we got a good handful of them down.
Speaker 5: Kelly had that stretch in the third quarter with three
Speaker 5: offensive rebounds I think all lay to open three point
Speaker 5: shots and the two of them went in.
Speaker 2: Also three steals.
Speaker 5: Had that sequence with the three.
Speaker 2: And then the dross the offensive foul.
Speaker 1: I guess, does.
Speaker 5: This feel like sort of the optimal version of Kelly
Speaker 5: within this team is something like what he did today?
Speaker 4: He did he did a great role there, right, Like
Speaker 4: he did a he got on the glass, He guarded
Speaker 4: all night long. He played really tough and then and
Speaker 4: it's not that easy to kind of only take a
Speaker 4: three every eighteen minutes or something like, you know what
Speaker 4: I mean, Like, and he stuck a couple of them.
Speaker 4: So yeah, I mean he was fighting like heck for rebounds,
Speaker 4: he was fighting like heck on the defensive end, loose balls,
Speaker 4: all that stuff.
Speaker 3: Really really great.
Speaker 4: Well playing job there for him, right, twelve points in
Speaker 4: a great game.
Speaker 5: Not a lot of yaboo in the second half, but
Speaker 5: I don't think any drumed a lot of Jared.
Speaker 2: Was that just about sort.
Speaker 5: Of countering the pace that Chicago was playing at, starting
Speaker 5: four guards and going really small.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just at most of it, you know, we
Speaker 4: start the second half of Jared again, it was pace
Speaker 4: and shooting at least the appearance of shooting spacing out there.
Speaker 4: And then I felt like Joel played a you know,
Speaker 4: a good chunk of minutes and I just again wanted
Speaker 4: wanted Yabu for the again, some spacing when Joel was out.
Speaker 4: Just that goes like that. Sometimes certain guys don't don't
Speaker 4: quite fit in a game, but they're playing four guards
Speaker 4: all the time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the fact of you guys afford his op.
Speaker 5: Now, did that contribute to feeling comfortable having Joel go
Speaker 5: thirty thirty three.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna have to kind of have to see how
Speaker 4: he comes out of it, obviously, but yeah, that was
Speaker 4: that was factored in.
Speaker 5: Yeah, first career triple double for Tyrese. I guess what
Speaker 5: were you seeing from him, not just as a score
Speaker 5: but all around?
Speaker 4: What was he doing well? Well? I I really like
Speaker 4: the assists in the rebounds. I know when I know
Speaker 4: when he's hitting Joel a lot in Joel's role, and
Speaker 4: those are going to rack up pretty fast. But love
Speaker 4: the defensive rebounding for him. It's not but asking him
Speaker 4: to become a better defensive rebounder. So chasing the ball
Speaker 4: Good's that's my favorite part. And I thought, he again,
Speaker 4: he's he's still not shooting like we know he can shoot, right,
Speaker 4: but he turned on the jets and got to the
Speaker 4: rim at at some pretty opportune times.
Speaker 3: I thought, yeah, six Ers coach Nick Nurse in Chicago
Speaker 3: following his six Ers victory. They've now won four of
Speaker 3: their last five games and they're seven and fifteen on
Speaker 3: the season. Final score once again one hundred and eight
Speaker 3: to one hundred. We'll have highlights in a recap of
Speaker 3: this game in a moment. Our postgame coverage is brought
Speaker 3: to you by Parks Casino More from Chicago. After you
Speaker 3: hear this back here in Chicago, our final segment will
Speaker 3: recap the game inserts some highlights. Nick Nurse finished off
Speaker 3: his press conference. The question posed was what will you
Speaker 3: do with this unusual schedule? The Sixers have like two
Speaker 3: games in the next ten plus days in that they
Speaker 3: play Friday at home against Indiana that's the next game
Speaker 3: and the Pacers. Oh, by the way, that's how the
Speaker 3: Sixers gained their first victory out there in Indianapolis. Then
Speaker 3: a week from tomorrow they'll be at Charlotte. Those are
Speaker 3: the two games that were added to the schedule because
Speaker 3: the Sixers are not headed to Vegas in further NBA
Speaker 3: Cup action. Then they'll be off again. So coach Nurse answered,
Speaker 3: will be off tomorrow talking about the Sixers not having
Speaker 3: practice Monday, but then training camp starts on Tuesday. Said,
Speaker 3: That's what he told the team, So this would be
Speaker 3: a great opportunity provided that Indbeat is able to respond
Speaker 3: and get back out there with the guys so that
Speaker 3: they can really almost like I said, start over a
Speaker 3: little bit. I mentioned this a week or a month
Speaker 3: or so ago to Matt Murphy and it's coming to
Speaker 3: fruition and that they have everybody available at den Bona
Speaker 3: is out with a knee, but he appears to be
Speaker 3: on the men, but the Big three and Embiid, Maxie
Speaker 3: and George will hopefully be able to participate as the
Speaker 3: Sixers kind of reboot their season is now. They're eight
Speaker 3: games under five hundred at seven and fifteen, following a
Speaker 3: win here in Chicago had ended up being an eight
Speaker 3: point victory, holding the Balls Bulls to one hundred points
Speaker 3: when they've been averaging almost one hundred and thirty over
Speaker 3: their last five to seven games. And out there on
Speaker 3: the court right now, where the last people out here
Speaker 3: is Patrick Williams, the young ford out of Florida State
Speaker 3: who's been out with a foot injury. He's out there
Speaker 3: taking some shots directly in front of us. So let's
Speaker 3: get to the opening quarter. The Sixers. They shot just
Speaker 3: thirty seven percent in the first frame. They had six turnovers,
Speaker 3: and Bid got out. There was only a six game.
Speaker 3: The team had been on five in his first five appearances.
Speaker 3: He was zero for five from the field. The Bulls
Speaker 3: made five to three. Zach Levine had ten points in
Speaker 3: the first frame, and then it ended with a bang
Speaker 3: for Chicago as Kobe White drilled the three at the
Speaker 3: end of the opening quarter to give the Bulls a
Speaker 3: ten point first quarter lead. Here it is Bulls have
Speaker 3: it for the last shot into the left corner. Here's
Speaker 3: Terry on a drive passes getting the White at the buzzer,
Speaker 3: Kobe White for three. Fifth three by the Bulls and
Speaker 3: they lead by ten after one. So it was thirty
Speaker 3: three to twenty three. But then the Sixers started to
Speaker 3: click and beat. It's been such a good field goal
Speaker 3: percentage shooter around the free throw line area, and Embid
Speaker 3: got going from there. He ended up with nineteen points
Speaker 3: in the quarter, a Sixers single season quarter high. And
Speaker 3: he makes a fade away here in the second quarter
Speaker 3: and be with it against Usevich left wing. ISO on
Speaker 3: the back down, Joelle turns fase hand scores and Beat,
Speaker 3: after a rough start from the field, has now made
Speaker 3: three of his last four. He's got seven six ers
Speaker 3: to within one these Sixers. One of the big keys
Speaker 3: in the game was transition defense. The Bulls ended up
Speaker 3: with eighteen points in transition and then rebounding, and the
Speaker 3: Sixers crushed him on the glass fifty six to thirty five,
Speaker 3: another area where the Sixers have traditionally been very good
Speaker 3: of late steals. Kelly Oubre had three, Jared McCain had three,
Speaker 3: and Beat ends up with the ball here on what
Speaker 3: was a Sixers steal. He leads a break that ends
Speaker 3: up leading to a kJ Martin slam dunk. Let's listen.
Speaker 3: McCain knocks it away and Beat steals it. Joel with
Speaker 3: a pass to Jared McCain into the kay j Barten
Speaker 3: shams it. Billy Donovan's gonna call a timeout and he
Speaker 3: is in a heated exchange with Eric Dayalin, Joel Ebiid
Speaker 3: lt Jared McCain. McCain was able to run run it down.
Speaker 3: That was question and then he throws it to Kja
Speaker 3: who off a mini trap. He slams it and Beid
Speaker 3: had no points in the opening quarter. He had nineteen
Speaker 3: by halftime all in this second quarter, and the Sixers
Speaker 3: reversed what was a ten point opening quarter deficit to
Speaker 3: lead by a dozen at the break sixty two to fifty.
Speaker 3: Bulls battled back in the third quarter. In the end,
Speaker 3: they outscored the Sixers in the frame, and the difference
Speaker 3: was down the stretch. They got another buzzer beater three.
Speaker 3: Jalen Smith came in and fired one in from deep
Speaker 3: to give the Bulls a basket at the end. Here's
Speaker 3: Jalen Smith at center court for three, and it's good.
Speaker 3: He makes a three point field goal that makes it
Speaker 3: a nine point game. Lowry was there and Jalen Smith
Speaker 3: faked side, stepped up and made a three, so that
Speaker 3: swings the momentum in favor of the Bulls into the fourth.
Speaker 3: The Bulls ended up taking eighteen more threes than the Sixers.
Speaker 3: They made nineteen, so they shot nineteen of fifty four.
Speaker 3: Six Ers went nine and thirty six from three. A
Speaker 3: big differential in the game was second chance points Sixers
Speaker 3: twenty one and the Bulls three. A lot of that
Speaker 3: was Kelly Ubra. He had seven offensive rebounds. No he
Speaker 3: had three offensive rebounds, ten rebounds total. We mentioned Maxie
Speaker 3: with his first career triple double twenty five points, fourteen
Speaker 3: assists and eleven rebounds, or Independence Blue Cross player of
Speaker 3: the game Joel Andbid thirty one points, twelve rebounds, two
Speaker 3: blocks Forress. He did have a high turnover game with
Speaker 3: a half a dozen. Now we go to the fourth
Speaker 3: quarter wherein b protects the Sixers lead with a big
Speaker 3: shot down the stretch, a jumper by Joel Paul George
Speaker 3: with a ball for the Sixers. George driving it, he
Speaker 3: throws to inbiid and be top of the key five
Speaker 3: on the shot clock and beat jabs Depp jumper. It's good.
Speaker 3: He berries it his thirteenth field goal and the Sixers
Speaker 3: needed that greatly seven point game and in the end
Speaker 3: the Sixers get another big basket by Maxie. He struggled
Speaker 3: from three, went three of twelve, but its Nick Nurse
Speaker 3: alluded two. He turned on the Jets and got a
Speaker 3: big time basket down the stretch to help protect the lead.
Speaker 3: Here's Maxi six to shoot. Maxie drips away from ball,
Speaker 3: drives it underhand scoot. What a shot by Maxi head
Speaker 3: It's in an underhead right hand Banker It counts had
Speaker 3: Maxi now with twenty three. So the Sixers hold off
Speaker 3: the Bulls and win one hundred and eight to one hundred.
Speaker 3: Crowd of eighteen, eight hundred and thirty seven out here
Speaker 3: at the United Center, and again the Sixers will be
Speaker 3: off tomorrow, no practice. They start practice again on Tuesday.
Speaker 3: They prep for the Indiana Pacers Friday at the Center.
