Speaker 1: These guys are. I think it's a real time example
Speaker 1: of how you've heard me say, Oh, they play together,
Speaker 1: they coexist. We you know, pass the ball and this
Speaker 1: and that. That's real. It doesn't require a coach thrown
Speaker 1: out some math that that that that's there's a human
Speaker 1: side to that action that you just described that is
Speaker 1: special at great teams, remember any that are playing this
Speaker 1: well for this long as well as this team is
Speaker 1: played in the last sixteen dealers, I feel like this team.
Speaker 1: When I think of this team now and there's so
Speaker 1: much more to do, I really think of that thing
Speaker 1: I just said. I feel that the group, you know,
Speaker 1: really enjoys each other's company. And when we lose, like
Speaker 1: heavyweight like Joe l Embiid or you know, other people
Speaker 1: go down, other people do step up. And it's not
Speaker 1: like we boast you know, a collection of NBA All
Speaker 1: Stars or you know NBA champions in that room. That
Speaker 1: that isn't who we are right now. We are in
Speaker 1: the infant stages of some organic growth that I love
Speaker 1: the way the program, the culture is trending. And to
Speaker 1: end the season breaking I'm told an NBA recorded with
Speaker 1: consecutive games to secure the third spot in the East
Speaker 1: and to you know, break a franchise record with consecutive wins.
Speaker 1: All those things equal what I just said. I think
Speaker 1: the group is really really tight of the regular season.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's hard to sort of pinpoint anything, you know.
Speaker 1: I liked. I think that when you when you delineate
Speaker 1: between style of play and culture, I feel like we've
Speaker 1: done that. You know, they do cross pollinate. But I
Speaker 1: feel like we play a certain brand of basketball, and
Speaker 1: we said we were going to play a certain brand
Speaker 1: of basketball for a long time, and I think to
Speaker 1: be able to see it evolve and not like wiggle
Speaker 1: to the left or right, and grow a style of
Speaker 1: basketball that we believe in. I'm proud of that. I'm
Speaker 1: proud of the cultural side of what we do, you know,
Speaker 1: as a team, stuff on court, off court. I'm proud
Speaker 1: of that. And I think that when you say tell
Speaker 1: me one thing, it's hard for me to do that,
Speaker 1: I can tell you two global things, and it's that
Speaker 1: style of play and culture, and they do cross pollinate.
Speaker 1: The record of season is over and you turn your
Speaker 1: attached to the playoffs, Well, how do you get this
Speaker 1: young team to kind of redial and you focus it
Speaker 1: that you're ready to posting. You have them take a
Speaker 1: deep breath and recognize for a moment what they did.
Speaker 1: They have to take great pride, take great satisfaction and
Speaker 1: the accomplishment. Albeit you know early and it's not something
Speaker 1: that I deem to be like, here we are, we've
Speaker 1: arrived significant type status. It's not that I want them
Speaker 1: to enjoy it. Take a deep breath and then reload.
Speaker 1: You know, we're gonna come back in tomorrow night. We'll
Speaker 1: have a team dinner. The coaches will be in there
Speaker 1: very early in the morning going through all the stuff
Speaker 1: and delivering to the team a game plan. We'll have
Speaker 1: a team meal, we'll have a game plan laid out,
Speaker 1: and we'll bring him in the following morning and get
Speaker 1: into more compartmental type things with bigs and smalls and
Speaker 1: point guards and positional type stuff of this is who
Speaker 1: you're guarding, this is our expectations, etc. And walk it
Speaker 1: down and soon we'll learn what time we play. We
Speaker 1: assume it's going to be Saturday. We don't know that
Speaker 1: for sure, but all that is what I want my
Speaker 1: players to like, enjoy and look forward to getting into tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Sixers coach Brett Brown now it's looking like up we'll
Speaker 1: beat Miami. They lead by four in overtime at home
Speaker 1: one thirteen, one oh nine. These six Ers will be
Speaker 1: third with a victory. Pretty sure the heat would be
Speaker 1: six and that would set up Round one playoff activities.
Speaker 1: Sixers and Miami expected to be here on Saturday. A

Speaker 1: know they've been planning in terms of trying to get
Speaker 1: ready in terms if it would be not the coaches

Speaker 1: and they'll know by the close of business before they
Speaker 1: leave here tonight as to whom they'll play coming up
Speaker 1: over the weekend. So an incredible game here tonight. You
Speaker 1: thought coming in this would be a nailbiter. It was
Speaker 1: anything but the Sixers blowout Milwaukee or thanks to Tyler,
Speaker 1: Julian Carlamoli and Marty Dickerson. Here we'll turn it over
Speaker 1: to Brian Seltzer dot Brian Seltzer of Sixers dot His
Speaker 1: name seems like his last name is dot com, but
Speaker 1: he is working here and we'll read all of his
Speaker 1: stuff over the course of the next couple of days
Speaker 1: and in the playoffs is the Sixers will be in
Speaker 1: the playoffs for the first time since twenty twelve. Thanks
Speaker 1: for listening. We'll have a portion of the postgame program,
Speaker 1: but for now, Tom mcginns from the center where the
Speaker 1: Sixers win by thirty five in the regular season finale
Speaker 1: over Milwaukee. This is the Sixers radio network. He's the
Speaker 1: Philadelphia has seventy Sixers postgame show in feed. I can
Speaker 1: look about about broad streets. Harks's gonna turn him getting
Speaker 1: off Matty rolls the Sixers postgame show right now on
Speaker 1: ninety seven five the finette hard to him mention a
Speaker 1: more perfect finish to a remarkable, incredible regular season for
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia seventy Sixers. Lisia's speechless. The box score one
Speaker 1: thirty to ninety five. But of course, who will spend
Speaker 1: the next couple of minutes speaking about this impressive seventy
Speaker 1: Sixers win, this impressive seventy sixers season, and impressive club overall?
Speaker 1: One thirty ninety five. Again the final score. Brian Selta
Speaker 1: with you from Sixers dot com. We're gonna talk with
Speaker 1: Tom mc ginnis in just a few moments. Wow, No,
Speaker 1: Joel embiid, Ben Simmons not really a factor in the
Speaker 1: scoring tonight, JJ reddick out with some lower back tightness
Speaker 1: and the Sixers blast blowout the Milwaukee Bucks run the
Speaker 1: deer right out the building in what seemed like it
Speaker 1: could have been a potential first round playoff matchup. Within
Speaker 1: the opening minutes of play, it was clear this game
Speaker 1: belonged to the class of the seventy Sixers. They led
Speaker 1: forty six to eighteen after the first quarter. They scored
Speaker 1: seventy points before Milwaukee hit thirty. The lead that just
Speaker 1: ballooned out tremendously eighty to forty four by the half,
Speaker 1: highest scoring first half of the seventy Sixers since nineteen
Speaker 1: at ninety just the tenth eighty point first half in
Speaker 1: team history. Only for twenty seven seconds in the second
Speaker 1: half of the Sixers lead dip below thirty points phenomenal.
Speaker 1: Then to capit all off, you had that mob scene
Speaker 1: moment by the Sixers bench when Mark l Faults after
Speaker 1: everything he's been through, clinched a triple double tonight with
Speaker 1: thirteen points, ten rebounds, ten assists. He hawked down that
Speaker 1: final rebound in the closing seconds and it was like
Speaker 1: a pitcher throwing no hitter or perfect game or the
Speaker 1: final out in the World Series, when Mark ll Foltz
Speaker 1: was just swarmed in front of the Sixers bench, And
Speaker 1: for a kid who's been through so so much, an
Speaker 1: outstanding moment for him and his teammates as they close
Speaker 1: out the regular season with an NBA record sixteenth consecutive
Speaker 1: victory to end a regular season that a new mark
Speaker 1: in the NBA. Tonight's win adds to the longest winning
Speaker 1: streak in Sixers franchise history. They lock up the three
Speaker 1: seat in the Eastern Conference by virtue of the win
Speaker 1: with a fifty two and thirty record, and stand by
Speaker 1: for just a moment, we have this breaking news on
Speaker 1: the seventy Sixers postgame show. The first round opponent for
Speaker 1: the seventy Sixers starting this weekend at the Center, will
Speaker 1: be the Miami Heat. That is because the Heat beat
Speaker 1: the Toronto Raptors at home in overtime one sixteen to
Speaker 1: one oh nine, Orlando defeating Washington in Florida one o
Speaker 1: one to ninety two, and the New York Knicks on
Speaker 1: the road with Cleveland's starters resting for the better part
Speaker 1: of that game, New York beating the Cavaliers one ten
Speaker 1: to ninety eight. So that news, Justin the seventy Sixers
Speaker 1: will face the Miami Heat. As long as we read
Speaker 1: our NBA postseason breakdown chart correctly, it'll be the seventy
Speaker 1: Sixers and the Heat likely starting on Saturday here at
Speaker 1: the Center. Get it, got it great? We're gonna take
Speaker 1: a quick break, collect our breaths. Tom McGinnis is standing
Speaker 1: by team high point total going to Justin Anderson with
Speaker 1: twenty five, leading a tremendous bench effort. Dario charch lit
Speaker 1: the fuse twenty four points a plus twenty seven in
Speaker 1: the game. Seventy Sixers with a brilliant way to cap
Speaker 1: a brilliant breakthrough regular season. We'll get to go in
Speaker 1: after this. It's the postgame showing the Sixers rate and network.
Speaker 1: Seventy Sixers just a fantastic finale in the regular season,
Speaker 1: trampling the Milwaukee Bucks one thirty six eighteen after the
Speaker 1: first quarter, they were up seventy to twenty nine one
Speaker 1: point in the second quarter. It was that dominant and
Speaker 1: they didn't even have their full complement of players. Brian
Speaker 1: Seltzer joined now by Tom McGinnis. Tom, this has been
Speaker 1: a pretty amazing ride for the seventy sixers, and so
Speaker 1: neat that this was the type of regular season you
Speaker 1: could really enjoy and continue to be impressed by as
Speaker 1: and unfolded and for to wrap up this way. It
Speaker 1: really was storybook type setting for the seventy Sixers tonight. No,
Speaker 1: because this was a scary game coming in, I mean
Speaker 1: Milwaukee was rested. The Sixers with a hard fought, I
Speaker 1: mean very physical game last night in Atlanta. Late arrival,
Speaker 1: Milwaukee had just beaten the Sixers twice, I mean not
Speaker 1: just but the most recent two games. And yet the
Speaker 1: Sixers came out Marco Belinelli made a three and the
Speaker 1: game wasn't even ten seconds old, and the Sixers never trailed,
Speaker 1: And just an astounding first half with the threes flying.
Speaker 1: Daria was back in a big way, eighty points in
Speaker 1: the first half and Ben Simmons hadn't even scored. I mean,
Speaker 1: how about that. So just an incredible and then all
Speaker 1: around performance homes and folds, and we understand Foltz maybe
Speaker 1: the youngest player ever to record a triple double, securing
Speaker 1: the three seed, the sixteen consecutive victories and again never
Speaker 1: done before in the history of the NBA. I mean,
Speaker 1: it was remarkable the other night when the Sixers won
Speaker 1: and they tied the eighty two eighty three championship Sixers
Speaker 1: teams with the most consecutive wins. Then the Eclipse it
Speaker 1: last night, and then they further established it tonight. It's all.
Speaker 1: It really just shakes your head in the most positive
Speaker 1: of ways. And this group wants more, Like Brett Brown said,
Speaker 1: you know, he wants them to feel satisfied and feel accomplished.
Speaker 1: Take a deep breath, no doubt, rest tomorrow and then
Speaker 1: begin to gear up through you know, the game plan
Speaker 1: and whatnot practice on Friday, and then the game here Saturday,
Speaker 1: and as you says it said, it's Miami, and wow,
Speaker 1: that's Miami won in the last two games against the Sixers,
Speaker 1: and certainly, the way the Sixers are playing right now,
Speaker 1: they have to feel confident against any team. Miami scary though,
Speaker 1: the way they have what I call dribble drivers, slasher
Speaker 1: type players with Draga and Richardson, and of course Dwayne
Speaker 1: Wade is going to ratchet it up, and Wayne Ellington's
Speaker 1: having a career year from three. Whiteside's been up and
Speaker 1: down here, they've been playing Olinic a little bit more.
Speaker 1: But for them to beat Toronto and over time and
Speaker 1: secure the sixth spot, it's going to be a very
Speaker 1: good series, no doubt about it. And to me, the
Speaker 1: longer that series goes maybe you know, who knows, maybe
Speaker 1: the Sixers take care of business early, but I think
Speaker 1: that the further that thing goes along, the better the
Speaker 1: prospects are that a bad will get back in the mix.
Speaker 1: I was saying that in the postseason for faults, but
Speaker 1: he looks like he's ready. I thought maybe the more
Speaker 1: time went on, the more practice, the longer the season went,
Speaker 1: the better. But he appears ready and he'll be raring
Speaker 1: to go after what we saw here tonight. Just an
Speaker 1: incredible athletic I thought performance by Marquel. This game got
Speaker 1: out of hand real quick. The Sixers over the Bucks
Speaker 1: one thirty ninety five. Dario starts so important to setting
Speaker 1: the tone, lighting the fuse for the seventy sixers. But
Speaker 1: as you said, Tom, the lasting impression, it's hard not
Speaker 1: to be Marquelle faults and that image of him being
Speaker 1: just mobbed and engulfed by his teammates in front of
Speaker 1: the seventy sixers bench, Just how cool is that for
Speaker 1: him and for people you know who may like sometimes
Speaker 1: take as teams speak, the whole narrative of oh, we
Speaker 1: were rooting for him all along. We really supported him
Speaker 1: and were with him every step of the way. I mean,
Speaker 1: you could see it right there, just how thrilled they
Speaker 1: were for folks that he had that type of moment,
Speaker 1: a triple double in the final game of a regular season,
Speaker 1: and who knows, this time a month ago, no one
Speaker 1: probably expected to see him, right, It was actually like
Speaker 1: a shocker what Coach Brown said. It was on a
Speaker 1: Monday night where he said that he was going to
Speaker 1: play like I said. It was a bit of a
Speaker 1: startling revelation at that point. And boy, play he did.
Speaker 1: And he's worked himself into where he's going to be
Speaker 1: an impactful player in the playoffs. And you know, to
Speaker 1: your point, Brian Justin Anderson said courtside that he's never
Speaker 1: seen more resilience shown. I mean, that's a pretty impactful
Speaker 1: comment right there. And you know, we've been around him.
Speaker 1: He is a very likable young guy. These guys have
Speaker 1: all kind of taken them under the wing. How about
Speaker 1: you know, at shoot around at the training complex when
Speaker 1: the media would be allowed in, they'd all started shooting,
Speaker 1: Marquel shooting, and one day JJ Redick was just fed
Speaker 1: up and said, hey enough already, let the guys shoot.
Speaker 1: Let the guy go through this process. So in a sense,
Speaker 1: you know, they've kind of had his back and it's
Speaker 1: just remarkable for him to miss what sixty eight games
Speaker 1: and then to come back and to play like this,
Speaker 1: and you know, look, he showed why he was the
Speaker 1: number one pick. I mean that when he goes when
Speaker 1: I say sores and scores, I mean you're watching he's
Speaker 1: flying over the opposition and going right over the room.
Speaker 1: I mean it's incredible. So you know, hopefully and all
Speaker 1: these guys will be raring to go. And I'll tell
Speaker 1: you one thing too, that markl tj Rashaan at some
Speaker 1: point a mirror will go back to the bench, your
Speaker 1: son Marco. In addition to how well Dario and Ben
Speaker 1: and JJ and everybody's play cove but depth is so
Speaker 1: important into playoffs because you know, I referenced this Milwaukee
Speaker 1: team with Jannis Adenib. I remember watching that it was
Speaker 1: games and Milwaukee, like Jana Sadeta Kopa, one of the
Speaker 1: great players in our game, couldn't he could not summon
Speaker 1: the energy to shoot a free throw, and that said
Speaker 1: something about their lack of depth in Toronto's depth in
Speaker 1: that playoff series a year ago. I only bring it
Speaker 1: up just because it kind of points to what it's like.
Speaker 1: The energy, the intensity in the game shrinks. It's more
Speaker 1: of a half court type of game. And I think
Speaker 1: the Sixers depth is going to serve them well in
Speaker 1: this postseason. And I know him going on what one
Speaker 1: last thing, Brian, like coach talks about the team coming together,
Speaker 1: how they play for one another. You think back to August,
Speaker 1: and for that matter, even before. I mean this team
Speaker 1: got back together right after the season. I mean they
Speaker 1: took a few weeks off in August, but this group
Speaker 1: was in that gym together, the practice facility, everything that
Speaker 1: one would have hoped for, putting a team in the
Speaker 1: best possible position for them to want to go there,
Speaker 1: to spend the time there to work on their craft.
Speaker 1: They did it, and they were doing it for each
Speaker 1: other and pushing each other along. And look where it's
Speaker 1: brought them. It's brought them to the cusp I mean
Speaker 1: right now of greatness and they're going to try to
Speaker 1: prove it. And as Brett Brown said, you know they've
Speaker 1: done terrifically well. But right now this means they put
Speaker 1: themselves into position. But this is when you get graded.
Speaker 1: This is they've they've gone past expectations. But the playoffs
Speaker 1: are when you really earn your grades. Seventy sixers over
Speaker 1: the Bucks one thirty ninety five. So it will not
Speaker 1: be the Sixers against the Bucks in the postseason, which
Speaker 1: if the season at end of yesterday it would have been.
Speaker 1: It's looking like the seventy sixers and the Miami Heat.
Speaker 1: The two teams, Tom what a tremendously hard fought four
Speaker 1: game regular season series. Going back and looking at this now,
Speaker 1: the entire regular season series was decided by a total
Speaker 1: of eight points. Sixers won the first two games here
Speaker 1: at the center of the first two weeks of February,
Speaker 1: and then interestingly enough, the final week of February, first
Speaker 1: week in March, they played twice at Miami, so it
Speaker 1: really almost had about as much of a playoff type
Speaker 1: simulation as you could have in the regular season. Lasting
Speaker 1: impression from Miami games, Dwayne, Wayne finding the fountain of youth.
Speaker 1: But they're a hard, fighting team. You mentioned the cutting
Speaker 1: and the slashing, and of course the head coaches widely
Speaker 1: considered one of the best in the league. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: it's so much appreciation and respect for Eric Spoelstra, and it
Speaker 1: it starts with pat Riley with that franchise, and you
Speaker 1: know the two games here and talking to Spoelstra in
Speaker 1: Miami prior to those games down there, you know, spo
Speaker 1: was saying that was must see TV. If you remember, Brian,
Speaker 1: The Sixers had a huge lead and Miami came back,
Speaker 1: but the Sixers prevailed. And then then the game just
Speaker 1: prior to the All Star Break, the Sixers trailed huge
Speaker 1: and came back to win, and those were twenty point swings,
Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken. And then the games down there
Speaker 1: they were like playoff games. So no Miami. Last year
Speaker 1: they had a huge rush to the finish but didn't
Speaker 1: make the playoffs. And then this year, you know, obviously
Speaker 1: they were in the mix the entire time. It'll be
Speaker 1: the sixth They've already played five times, and you know,
Speaker 1: you include Kansas. The Sixers played at the Sprint Center
Speaker 1: there in October in the last preseason game, and then
Speaker 1: those two games here in the two games down there,
Speaker 1: and obviously no opponent everybody so worthy in the postseason
Speaker 1: in Miami. They are gonna be a tough out. That's
Speaker 1: gonna be a hard fought series. Sixers played them in
Speaker 1: the playoffs back in the Lebron years in Miami prevailed.
Speaker 1: It'll be the second time they've ever played the Heat
Speaker 1: in the postseason. Seventy Sixers will play on after game
Speaker 1: number eighty two in the regular season. Can't wait to
Speaker 1: hear some Tom McGinnis called postseason basketball in Philadelphia for
Speaker 1: the first time since two and twelve. Thank you, Brian,
Speaker 1: have a great night. Sixers beat the Bucks one thirty
Speaker 1: to ninety five. It'll be the seventy Sixers in the
Speaker 1: Miami Heats in the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals series starting this
Speaker 1: weekend here in South Philadelphia. The Sixers and the heatab
Speaker 1: met one other time in the history of the two
Speaker 1: franchises in the playoffs, and that was back in two eleven,
Speaker 1: a series that Miami took four games to one. We
Speaker 1: have some highlights coming up after this. Just a really incredible,
Speaker 1: amazing game. Cannot wait to listen to Divine Gibbons on
Speaker 1: the drive home from the building. Divine is coming up
Speaker 1: in just a bit if you want to get on
Speaker 1: the phone. Six sixty two zero nine seven five Tom's
Speaker 1: calls coming up after this. Sixers postseason bound after blowing
Speaker 1: out the Bucks, making NBA history with a sixteenth straight
Speaker 1: win and the regular season. Stay with us. It's the
Speaker 1: postgame showing the Sixers Raider Network. This was a really
Speaker 1: outstanding season and it was going to be that way
Speaker 1: regardless of what went down at the Center tonight's. But goodness, gracious,
Speaker 1: this was and nights to remember as far as incredible
Speaker 1: displays by these seventy sixers. Go Brian Selt with you
Speaker 1: from Sixers dot com. Let us get to the highlights.
Speaker 1: Sixers won the opening tap within ten seconds, Marco Bellonelli
Speaker 1: had a three and the Sixers were off from their
Speaker 1: three pointers. A major theme from quarter number one. There's
Speaker 1: a long shot by Bellonelli, up and go. The Sixers
Speaker 1: get the field goal right out of the gate. Ben
Speaker 1: drives on the Dennick Coopo spins back middle out, top charge,
Speaker 1: three balls good, Dario Chartz puts it in three bowl
Speaker 1: in the air, and Anderson puts it in six triples
Speaker 1: four the Sixers Milwaukee has none comington fakes two defenders off.
Speaker 1: Here's t J wide open, three ball, Hey McConnell, here's
Speaker 1: the new JJ Redick. TJ McConnell knocks down another three,
Speaker 1: And they had a reference to the Sixers being without
Speaker 1: JJ Reddick tonight. They were still able to do what
Speaker 1: they did without a guy who's been their leading score
Speaker 1: over the latter stages of this winning streak. Another subplot
Speaker 1: from the first quarter, Mark hell Folds spelled Ben Simmons.
Speaker 1: After Simmons picked two early fouls and Folds proceeded to
Speaker 1: have a say whether it was through an assist or
Speaker 1: a black basket. He scored directly in the next twenty
Speaker 1: points to seventy Sixers scored after he subbed in to
Speaker 1: open up a forty to twelve lead. Amazing forty six
Speaker 1: to eighteen to score after one quarter. Markul folks doing
Speaker 1: his thing and great to see. In quarter number two,
Speaker 1: Holtz drives on sterling brown, hangs in the lane, spins,
Speaker 1: shoots no good rebound. Rashawn he troubles and champs and
Speaker 1: that's what he does. And Markuel stills. He in head,
Speaker 1: he lays it in a road. It's a road. The
Speaker 1: Sixers with four straight points, they're winning fifty eight to
Speaker 1: twenty three. Foults, his confidence, his moves, everything about him.
Speaker 1: It was just off the charts tonight, Sixers led fifty
Speaker 1: eight twenty three at that point. Rashaun Holmes is a
Speaker 1: big part of a very strong bench effort for the Sixers.
Speaker 1: Thirty seconds ago, seventy six forty two. T J on
Speaker 1: a lab, Rashaun Holmes patches in and slams at hellayo
Speaker 1: Cam TJ. Mcconne, He's shredding the box. Holmes duns the ball.
Speaker 1: Sixers led by a commanding margin of eighty to forty
Speaker 1: four at a half, just the tenth eighty point first
Speaker 1: half in franchise history. Again, the Milwaukee Bucks a playoff
Speaker 1: team coming into tonight, and the Sixers absolutely took a tomb.
Speaker 1: Sixers kept the energy flowing and the pedal on the gas.
Speaker 1: In corner number three coming to Timpson, Simmons steals it.
Speaker 1: Here's a run up, Ben to come coming to the late.
Speaker 1: Hey throws it down. Hey towering right hand slam. Robert
Speaker 1: coming to cascades down with a slam. And what shouldn't
Speaker 1: be lost in all this is that the Sixers played
Speaker 1: fantastic defense tonight. I mean they were getting hands on balls.
Speaker 1: They pride away a tremendous amount of steals to the
Speaker 1: tune of fifteen, very opportunistic, outscoring the Bucks thirty one
Speaker 1: to ten off turnovers. From there, these Sixers we continue
Speaker 1: to see some good things happened. Justin Anderson had himself
Speaker 1: to night faults with it off a screen by Holmes,
Speaker 1: double covered in the corner, Mark Kell around one man
Speaker 1: puts it up Ruby now no rebound slam. Justin Anderson
Speaker 1: gathers it in and dunks the ball Anderson with twenty
Speaker 1: points in the game. One O five, seventy five Sixers
Speaker 1: in front through three and let's go all the way
Speaker 1: fast forward to the final moments of the fourth quarter.
Speaker 1: This one of the highlights, sequences and moments of the season.
Speaker 1: It's a forty point game. Again, Jennings with a scoop.
Speaker 1: That's no good, Baker try to dunk it. Faults got
Speaker 1: the rebound and that's a triple double, and the Sixers
Speaker 1: are going crazy hugging Marquel Faults. It really was like
Speaker 1: brad Lidge, maybe not quite that extent, but Pitcher getting
Speaker 1: the final out in the World Series. Everyone swarming Marquel Faults,
Speaker 1: helping the young man celebrate a historic moment, the youngest
Speaker 1: player in NBA history to ever record a triple double.
Speaker 1: Will get to these specifics in particulars of the numbers
Speaker 1: in just a moments, seventy six ers, forty nine and
Speaker 1: a half percent from the field. They kept the Bucks
Speaker 1: to forty one percent, six Ers fifteen to thirty six
Speaker 1: from outside the arc. Eleven of those triples in the
Speaker 1: first half that matched the season high. Sixers dominated the glass.
Speaker 1: They were plus fourteen on the boards, thirty five assists,
Speaker 1: on fifty two makes, keeping with a late season theme
Speaker 1: that turned them into the hottest team in the NBA.
Speaker 1: We talked about the turnovers. Six Ers fours twenty behind,
Speaker 1: fifteen steals, and outscored the Bucks on turnovers thirty one
Speaker 1: two eleven. Jannis undercoupo Pedestrian he had missed the last
Speaker 1: two games with the Sixers, were excellent defensively. In transition,
Speaker 1: they locked up the paint out a coupo just ten
Speaker 1: points five or fourteen from the field, ten rebounds. Let's
Speaker 1: now go to the Sixers. Twenty five points, a team
Speaker 1: high for Justin Anderson, the second highest total of his career.
Speaker 1: He scored twenty six points. Get this in game number
Speaker 1: eighty two last year at Madison Square Garden. Twenty four
Speaker 1: for Dario Chartz ten of nineteen from the field. He
Speaker 1: had five assists as well, plus twenty seven. The Sixers
