Speaker 1: Welcome into the seventy sixers scoop. Instant reaction to the
Speaker 1: seventy six ers one twenty two ninety four win over
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Hawks at the Center. I'm Matt Murphy along
Speaker 1: with Lauren Rosen, and it was a good win for
Speaker 1: the seventy Sixers. They were up fourteen at the half.
Speaker 1: They extended things in the second half at home. Six
Speaker 1: players scored in double figures. What were your initial takeaways
Speaker 1: or what are they from this game? Well, we've talked
Speaker 1: a lot this season, in the early phases of this
Speaker 1: season about creating separation and then maintaining separation, and tonight
Speaker 1: the Sixers were able to accomplish that goal. This is
Speaker 1: their steepest margin of victory yet. Six Sixers finishing in
Speaker 1: double figures. Let's run through them to Bias. Harris led
Speaker 1: the pack with twenty two points, eleven rebounds and four assists.
Speaker 1: Joel Embid nineteen points, five rebounds, two assists, one block,
Speaker 1: Seth Curry fifteen points, one assist, Tyree's Maxi sixteen points,
Speaker 1: three assists, one in one steal, Shake Milton eleven points,
Speaker 1: four rebounds, two assists, and Matisse Thyble the season high
Speaker 1: eleven points, three rebounds, two assists, three blocks, and four steals.
Speaker 1: Great night from Matise, another solid night from the bench.
Speaker 1: Tobias Harris led the way. Doc Rivers talked about how
Speaker 1: well Tobias is able to perform when he plays decisively.
Speaker 1: He called that first step action lethal. Tobias agreed that
Speaker 1: he was in a more decisive mode tonight and wants
Speaker 1: to continue carrying that through throughout. Yeah. To me, I
Speaker 1: think Tobias Matise Joel not having to work quite as
Speaker 1: hard as he does sometimes also a nice thing to
Speaker 1: see in what ended up being a pretty lopsided victory
Speaker 1: four year seventy sixers. Right to the point about Joel
Speaker 1: Embiid still got to the line of ton eight of nine.
Speaker 1: A lot of that was in the first half, and
Speaker 1: he came in with almost forty makes at the line,
Speaker 1: tied for first in the league in the high thirties
Speaker 1: coming in, but they got contribution and all around lightning
Speaker 1: the load of Joel Embiid. The second double double of
Speaker 1: the season for Tobias Harris, and it was a good
Speaker 1: win all around. The defense forced nineteen turnovers from the Hawks,
Speaker 1: who came in averaging just twelve a game. Which was
Speaker 1: the second best mark in the NBA. So I think
Speaker 1: that statistic right there shows you how on the Sixers
Speaker 1: were on both ends of the floor tonight. Yeah, a
Speaker 1: lot to like about this victory. The team shot fifty
Speaker 1: three point five percent from the field and ninety four
Speaker 1: point seven percent from the line. The last time we
Speaker 1: did this, sorry to cut you off, they only missed
Speaker 1: one or two free throws in the win over Detroit.
Speaker 1: They only miss one out of those nineteen tonight. Unbelievable. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the Sixers quickly becoming one of the best free throw
Speaker 1: shooting teams in this league. Sixty points in the paint
Speaker 1: versus Atlanta's thirty six points in the paint. The Sixers
Speaker 1: led by as many as thirty three in this one.
Speaker 1: Thirty four fast break points Atlanta only fourteen fast break points.
Speaker 1: A lot to like about this Sixers game, if we're
Speaker 1: being objective reporters. The one number that's pretty ugly twenty
Speaker 1: offensive rebounds for the Atlanta Hawks tonight in this game.
Speaker 1: When I saw that, I literally said, this is not
Speaker 1: a misprint on the stat sheet. Twenty offensive rebounds led
Speaker 1: to nineteen second chance points. But we knew coming in
Speaker 1: that Atlanta was a very good rebounding team led by
Speaker 1: Clint Capella and John Collins, who had twelve and seven boards, respectively.
Speaker 1: But the Sixers took care business halfway through this homestand
Speaker 1: two more. They've got Portland up next, which should be
Speaker 1: a fun game on Monday night. And of course we
Speaker 1: should also talk about Trey Young just thirteen points ten assists,
Speaker 1: which is a very impressive figure leading the field tonight,
Speaker 1: but only shot five for sixteen from the field. Tyrese
Speaker 1: Maxie did a good job defensively on Trey Young. That
Speaker 1: was a tough assignment. In postgame, Tyree said that the
Speaker 1: way that he prepped for that assignment was to just,
Speaker 1: you know, try to do what Matista does on defense.
Speaker 1: I loved that little line from Tyrese Maxie. The two
Speaker 1: of them have learned from one another, so be on
Speaker 1: the lookout for clips from their media availability. It was
Speaker 1: quite the wholesome content that Sixers fans love. Matt what
Speaker 1: are you looking forward to when the Sixers face the
Speaker 1: Blazers on Monday and the Bulls on Wednesday. Trey Young's
Speaker 1: had an up and down start for Atlanta. Damian Lillards
Speaker 1: had a little bit of a slow start for the
Speaker 1: Portland Trailblazers, but always an exciting visitor in the sense
Speaker 1: that Lillard and CJ. McCollum form one of the best
Speaker 1: duos in the NBA, and they're an explosive offensive team
Speaker 1: with that backcourt. So I think the Sixers gonna look
Speaker 1: to keep it rolling if they learned anything from Maxie's
Speaker 1: effort on defense and Thible off the bench and containing
Speaker 1: Trey Young tonight, you've got more guards to defend, and
Speaker 1: Trey Young has been frustrated with some of the officiating
Speaker 1: so far in the first few games and how things
Speaker 1: are being called this year. I think Damian Lillard might
Speaker 1: fall into that vote a little bit as well, because
Speaker 1: his scoring average is below twenty points in the first
Speaker 1: few games of the season and just about nineteen, so
Speaker 1: kind of feels like he's in the same realm as
Speaker 1: Trey Young right now with how things currently stand with
Speaker 1: them come but then an exciting Bulls team after that too.
Speaker 1: The next two at home, interesting opponents looking forward to
Speaker 1: the road ahead. The Sixers rise to four and two
Speaker 1: on the Young season at one twenty two to ninety
Speaker 1: four victory at the Center. We will be back with
Speaker 1: you on Monday night. Matt Murphy, congratulations on your first
Speaker 1: NBA broadcast, killing it on the radio. It was awesome
Speaker 1: to hear you. Looking forward to hearing you again down
Speaker 1: the road. Thanks as always for joining me. Thank you
Speaker 1: guys for listening to the seventy six ers. Scoop. We
Speaker 1: will talk to you next time.
