WEBVTT - The 76ers Scoop | Sixers Topple Hawks

0:00:02.600 --> 0:00:06.800
<v Speaker 1>Welcome into the seventy sixers scoop. Instant reaction to the

0:00:06.960 --> 0:00:10.440
<v Speaker 1>seventy six ers one twenty two ninety four win over

0:00:10.480 --> 0:00:13.360
<v Speaker 1>the Atlanta Hawks at the Center. I'm Matt Murphy along

0:00:13.400 --> 0:00:16.320
<v Speaker 1>with Lauren Rosen, and it was a good win for

0:00:16.480 --> 0:00:18.919
<v Speaker 1>the seventy Sixers. They were up fourteen at the half.

0:00:19.239 --> 0:00:23.320
<v Speaker 1>They extended things in the second half at home. Six

0:00:23.400 --> 0:00:28.200
<v Speaker 1>players scored in double figures. What were your initial takeaways

0:00:28.320 --> 0:00:30.640
<v Speaker 1>or what are they from this game? Well, we've talked

0:00:30.680 --> 0:00:32.880
<v Speaker 1>a lot this season, in the early phases of this

0:00:32.960 --> 0:00:36.840
<v Speaker 1>season about creating separation and then maintaining separation, and tonight

0:00:36.920 --> 0:00:39.680
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers were able to accomplish that goal. This is

0:00:39.680 --> 0:00:43.600
<v Speaker 1>their steepest margin of victory yet. Six Sixers finishing in

0:00:43.680 --> 0:00:46.839
<v Speaker 1>double figures. Let's run through them to Bias. Harris led

0:00:46.840 --> 0:00:50.320
<v Speaker 1>the pack with twenty two points, eleven rebounds and four assists.

0:00:50.360 --> 0:00:53.400
<v Speaker 1>Joel Embid nineteen points, five rebounds, two assists, one block,

0:00:53.800 --> 0:00:58.600
<v Speaker 1>Seth Curry fifteen points, one assist, Tyree's Maxi sixteen points,

0:00:58.800 --> 0:01:02.600
<v Speaker 1>three assists, one in one steal, Shake Milton eleven points,

0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:06.680
<v Speaker 1>four rebounds, two assists, and Matisse Thyble the season high

0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:11.560
<v Speaker 1>eleven points, three rebounds, two assists, three blocks, and four steals.

0:01:11.880 --> 0:01:15.360
<v Speaker 1>Great night from Matise, another solid night from the bench.

0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:18.640
<v Speaker 1>Tobias Harris led the way. Doc Rivers talked about how

0:01:18.680 --> 0:01:21.840
<v Speaker 1>well Tobias is able to perform when he plays decisively.

0:01:21.880 --> 0:01:26.240
<v Speaker 1>He called that first step action lethal. Tobias agreed that

0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:29.000
<v Speaker 1>he was in a more decisive mode tonight and wants

0:01:29.000 --> 0:01:31.959
<v Speaker 1>to continue carrying that through throughout. Yeah. To me, I

0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:35.600
<v Speaker 1>think Tobias Matise Joel not having to work quite as

0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:38.600
<v Speaker 1>hard as he does sometimes also a nice thing to

0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:41.959
<v Speaker 1>see in what ended up being a pretty lopsided victory

0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:46.040
<v Speaker 1>four year seventy sixers. Right to the point about Joel

0:01:46.120 --> 0:01:49.800
<v Speaker 1>Embiid still got to the line of ton eight of nine.

0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:51.680
<v Speaker 1>A lot of that was in the first half, and

0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:53.880
<v Speaker 1>he came in with almost forty makes at the line,

0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:56.920
<v Speaker 1>tied for first in the league in the high thirties

0:01:57.560 --> 0:02:01.200
<v Speaker 1>coming in, but they got contribution and all around lightning

0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:04.520
<v Speaker 1>the load of Joel Embiid. The second double double of

0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:07.800
<v Speaker 1>the season for Tobias Harris, and it was a good

0:02:07.840 --> 0:02:13.000
<v Speaker 1>win all around. The defense forced nineteen turnovers from the Hawks,

0:02:13.160 --> 0:02:16.639
<v Speaker 1>who came in averaging just twelve a game. Which was

0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:19.320
<v Speaker 1>the second best mark in the NBA. So I think

0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:22.200
<v Speaker 1>that statistic right there shows you how on the Sixers

0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:24.320
<v Speaker 1>were on both ends of the floor tonight. Yeah, a

0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:26.520
<v Speaker 1>lot to like about this victory. The team shot fifty

0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:29.520
<v Speaker 1>three point five percent from the field and ninety four

0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:32.280
<v Speaker 1>point seven percent from the line. The last time we

0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:35.520
<v Speaker 1>did this, sorry to cut you off, they only missed

0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:37.680
<v Speaker 1>one or two free throws in the win over Detroit.

0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:41.519
<v Speaker 1>They only miss one out of those nineteen tonight. Unbelievable. Yeah,

0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:43.799
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers quickly becoming one of the best free throw

0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:48.519
<v Speaker 1>shooting teams in this league. Sixty points in the paint

0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:52.000
<v Speaker 1>versus Atlanta's thirty six points in the paint. The Sixers

0:02:52.080 --> 0:02:54.400
<v Speaker 1>led by as many as thirty three in this one.

0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:59.200
<v Speaker 1>Thirty four fast break points Atlanta only fourteen fast break points.

0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:02.919
<v Speaker 1>A lot to like about this Sixers game, if we're

0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:06.560
<v Speaker 1>being objective reporters. The one number that's pretty ugly twenty

0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:10.880
<v Speaker 1>offensive rebounds for the Atlanta Hawks tonight in this game.

0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:13.640
<v Speaker 1>When I saw that, I literally said, this is not

0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:16.920
<v Speaker 1>a misprint on the stat sheet. Twenty offensive rebounds led

0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:19.560
<v Speaker 1>to nineteen second chance points. But we knew coming in

0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:22.320
<v Speaker 1>that Atlanta was a very good rebounding team led by

0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:26.400
<v Speaker 1>Clint Capella and John Collins, who had twelve and seven boards, respectively.

0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:30.680
<v Speaker 1>But the Sixers took care business halfway through this homestand

0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:34.280
<v Speaker 1>two more. They've got Portland up next, which should be

0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:36.280
<v Speaker 1>a fun game on Monday night. And of course we

0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:39.880
<v Speaker 1>should also talk about Trey Young just thirteen points ten assists,

0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:43.120
<v Speaker 1>which is a very impressive figure leading the field tonight,

0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:45.880
<v Speaker 1>but only shot five for sixteen from the field. Tyrese

0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:49.320
<v Speaker 1>Maxie did a good job defensively on Trey Young. That

0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:52.240
<v Speaker 1>was a tough assignment. In postgame, Tyree said that the

0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:54.440
<v Speaker 1>way that he prepped for that assignment was to just,

0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:57.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, try to do what Matista does on defense.

0:03:57.160 --> 0:03:59.680
<v Speaker 1>I loved that little line from Tyrese Maxie. The two

0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:01.640
<v Speaker 1>of them have learned from one another, so be on

0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:04.400
<v Speaker 1>the lookout for clips from their media availability. It was

0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:08.440
<v Speaker 1>quite the wholesome content that Sixers fans love. Matt what

0:04:08.480 --> 0:04:10.400
<v Speaker 1>are you looking forward to when the Sixers face the

0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:13.840
<v Speaker 1>Blazers on Monday and the Bulls on Wednesday. Trey Young's

0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:16.360
<v Speaker 1>had an up and down start for Atlanta. Damian Lillards

0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:18.320
<v Speaker 1>had a little bit of a slow start for the

0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:21.760
<v Speaker 1>Portland Trailblazers, but always an exciting visitor in the sense

0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:25.160
<v Speaker 1>that Lillard and CJ. McCollum form one of the best

0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:29.280
<v Speaker 1>duos in the NBA, and they're an explosive offensive team

0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:31.960
<v Speaker 1>with that backcourt. So I think the Sixers gonna look

0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:33.919
<v Speaker 1>to keep it rolling if they learned anything from Maxie's

0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:36.560
<v Speaker 1>effort on defense and Thible off the bench and containing

0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:39.560
<v Speaker 1>Trey Young tonight, you've got more guards to defend, and

0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:41.960
<v Speaker 1>Trey Young has been frustrated with some of the officiating

0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:43.840
<v Speaker 1>so far in the first few games and how things

0:04:43.880 --> 0:04:46.200
<v Speaker 1>are being called this year. I think Damian Lillard might

0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:48.080
<v Speaker 1>fall into that vote a little bit as well, because

0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:51.280
<v Speaker 1>his scoring average is below twenty points in the first

0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:53.760
<v Speaker 1>few games of the season and just about nineteen, so

0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:56.240
<v Speaker 1>kind of feels like he's in the same realm as

0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:58.880
<v Speaker 1>Trey Young right now with how things currently stand with

0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:02.279
<v Speaker 1>them come but then an exciting Bulls team after that too.

0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:06.039
<v Speaker 1>The next two at home, interesting opponents looking forward to

0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:08.840
<v Speaker 1>the road ahead. The Sixers rise to four and two

0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:11.600
<v Speaker 1>on the Young season at one twenty two to ninety

0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:14.960
<v Speaker 1>four victory at the Center. We will be back with

0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:18.880
<v Speaker 1>you on Monday night. Matt Murphy, congratulations on your first
