WEBVTT - The BroadCast: 02/03/2018 - Rewind vs. Pacers

0:00:00.960 --> 0:00:03.680
<v Speaker 1>Here's Brett Brown and you know, really just kind of

0:00:03.760 --> 0:00:06.920
<v Speaker 1>changed the game with that lightning and a bottle off

0:00:06.960 --> 0:00:11.560
<v Speaker 1>the bench mentality, and you know, we give them credit that.

0:00:11.560 --> 0:00:14.120
<v Speaker 1>I thought the defense was pretty good after heating it

0:00:14.280 --> 0:00:17.279
<v Speaker 1>from beyond in that second quarter, JJ with your first

0:00:17.320 --> 0:00:19.799
<v Speaker 1>three and the second half seconds to play, what was

0:00:19.840 --> 0:00:24.640
<v Speaker 1>going on there? You know, we really offensively to a man,

0:00:26.000 --> 0:00:28.480
<v Speaker 1>we were down. I thought Jared Bayless had a good

0:00:28.480 --> 0:00:32.479
<v Speaker 1>first half and then after that really not much from

0:00:32.600 --> 0:00:37.720
<v Speaker 1>from anybody, and those nights happened. I give credit to Indiana.

0:00:37.840 --> 0:00:42.040
<v Speaker 1>I thought the defense at home was excellent. You know,

0:00:42.080 --> 0:00:45.519
<v Speaker 1>it's a very different storyline when you look at the

0:00:45.560 --> 0:00:48.120
<v Speaker 1>first half where we each had sixty would have a points.

0:00:48.600 --> 0:00:50.920
<v Speaker 1>Then you look at the second half, you know, and

0:00:51.280 --> 0:00:54.280
<v Speaker 1>it was like thirty eight thirty five. It was very different.

0:00:54.880 --> 0:00:57.760
<v Speaker 1>And it heats up like that in NBA basketball and

0:00:58.160 --> 0:01:00.680
<v Speaker 1>in the defensive intensity on both side. I'd set it up.

0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:04.759
<v Speaker 1>They got the better of us defensively. We really had

0:01:04.760 --> 0:01:09.240
<v Speaker 1>a difficult time scoring. And uh, you know, Joel playing

0:01:09.280 --> 0:01:11.720
<v Speaker 1>in his first back to back, you could see a

0:01:11.760 --> 0:01:14.360
<v Speaker 1>little bit of the fatigue with the with the turnovers,

0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:17.760
<v Speaker 1>and the good news is he played his first back

0:01:17.800 --> 0:01:22.200
<v Speaker 1>to back, the turnovers with that being his first bank

0:01:22.240 --> 0:01:24.600
<v Speaker 1>to bank, how do you think, I mean, just look

0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:26.839
<v Speaker 1>at his numbers. Now, it's a little bit deceptive because

0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:28.640
<v Speaker 1>if you you know, you look at the turnovers and

0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:31.800
<v Speaker 1>then plus minus you get a more accurate pitch here.

0:01:31.840 --> 0:01:34.360
<v Speaker 1>I think if you asked him, he wouldn't be pleased

0:01:34.400 --> 0:01:38.560
<v Speaker 1>with his performance. But you know that that's how dominant

0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:41.679
<v Speaker 1>Joel can be. You know, he ends up with with

0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:44.880
<v Speaker 1>with how many points, you know, twenty four and ten

0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:48.600
<v Speaker 1>rebounds and you're questioning, you know, his impact on the game.

0:01:48.680 --> 0:01:50.880
<v Speaker 1>That's a hell of a statement. I think for him

0:01:50.920 --> 0:01:53.360
<v Speaker 1>to do that in his first back to back, full

0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:56.440
<v Speaker 1>credit to him, really, full credit to him. He's come

0:01:56.520 --> 0:02:00.560
<v Speaker 1>from a very sort of you know, different plays to

0:02:00.680 --> 0:02:04.040
<v Speaker 1>now be able to do that and to produce those

0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:08.240
<v Speaker 1>types of stats and a back to back is impressive.

0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:11.200
<v Speaker 1>But it wasn't Joel and beat Why do you think

0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:14.680
<v Speaker 1>weren't falling in the second hit? I give I give

0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:17.360
<v Speaker 1>Indiana credit. I think defensively, you know, they did a

0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:19.760
<v Speaker 1>good job. I think you know, when you look at

0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:22.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, our sort of three guys, they we were

0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:27.000
<v Speaker 1>fourteen for forty with JJ Ben and Joel and you know,

0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:30.080
<v Speaker 1>it's hard to overcome that. You need a little bit

0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:33.560
<v Speaker 1>of help, you know, from from some place, and tonight

0:02:34.080 --> 0:02:36.520
<v Speaker 1>we just didn't have it. As I said, I give

0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:41.919
<v Speaker 1>Indiana credit, but I leave feeling like a defense was good.

0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:45.919
<v Speaker 1>I think that both Knights defense was pretty good. Um,

0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:50.360
<v Speaker 1>we just struggled in the second half, especially scoring that

0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:53.840
<v Speaker 1>Sixers coach Brett Brown, the Sixers fall by eight or

0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:57.079
<v Speaker 1>twenty five and twenty five will wrap it up from

0:02:57.160 --> 0:02:59.600
<v Speaker 1>here for now. We'll throw it back to Brian Seltzer

0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:03.240
<v Speaker 1>quick hit segment wise in the post game, but the

0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:07.560
<v Speaker 1>Sixers fall in Indianapolis, Tom mcgunners saying, thanks for listening.

0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:10.000
<v Speaker 1>We'll turn it over to Brian Seltzer. You're listening. That

0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:16.400
<v Speaker 1>is seventy Sixers Radio Network. In terms of the big

0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:19.079
<v Speaker 1>big picture, the big Man played a back to back

0:03:19.120 --> 0:03:21.920
<v Speaker 1>set for the first time in his career, Battle gave

0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:25.080
<v Speaker 1>what he could and all things considered, that, as Brett

0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:27.800
<v Speaker 1>Brown pointed out to in his postgame press conference, was

0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:30.200
<v Speaker 1>a very good sign. Joel ebead with twenty four points

0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:33.720
<v Speaker 1>ten rebounds in just under thirty four minutes. But in

0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:37.800
<v Speaker 1>the slightly less bigger big picture, seventy Sixers lose a

0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:41.480
<v Speaker 1>game to a key Eastern Conference opponent, the Indiana Pacers

0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:44.960
<v Speaker 1>one hundred ninety two, and now Indiana is three games

0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:47.760
<v Speaker 1>in front of the seventy Sixers in the very densely

0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:52.080
<v Speaker 1>packed tight Eastern Conference standings. Brian Selter saying what up

0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:55.320
<v Speaker 1>on a Saturday night's postgame coverage underway, thank you very

0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:58.040
<v Speaker 1>much for tuning in. Yeah, ebad, he did what he could.

0:03:58.080 --> 0:04:00.840
<v Speaker 1>Certainly there were the turnovers seven out of the seventy

0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:04.160
<v Speaker 1>six ers eighteen in the game. Brett Brown acknowledging that

0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:07.600
<v Speaker 1>perhaps after playing thirty one minutes last night, going on

0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:09.560
<v Speaker 1>the road for the second out of a back to back,

0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:13.400
<v Speaker 1>and Bead feeling a little bit fatigued that manifesting itself

0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:16.080
<v Speaker 1>in cough ups. But all things considered, he gave the

0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:19.880
<v Speaker 1>Sixers solid output despite the minus twenty rating for the game.

0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:24.080
<v Speaker 1>Ben Simmons with ten points, eleven rebounds, six assists, Dario

0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:27.599
<v Speaker 1>Schartz with sixteen. Robert Covington got off to a good start,

0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:29.680
<v Speaker 1>but Indiana was able to clamp down on him in

0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:32.640
<v Speaker 1>the end. He finished with twelve. But the real headliner

0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:35.560
<v Speaker 1>from this game Victor Oladip with the All Star from

0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:39.359
<v Speaker 1>the Pacers. Yes, he was very good boyon Bugdanovich was

0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:41.920
<v Speaker 1>wide open and knocked down some threes throughout most of

0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:44.080
<v Speaker 1>the night. He finished with nineteen. But it's got to

0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:48.360
<v Speaker 1>be Lance Stevenson through. I mean, listen, it's an unfortunate

0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:50.560
<v Speaker 1>loss for the seventy sixers, but this guy is such

0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:52.760
<v Speaker 1>a wild card that it's almost like in some ways

0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:57.120
<v Speaker 1>hard to not be amused by watching him play fourteen points,

0:04:57.560 --> 0:05:00.960
<v Speaker 1>five to eleven from the field, nine reb sounds as well,

0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:03.440
<v Speaker 1>and he had a say in each one of the

0:05:03.800 --> 0:05:08.000
<v Speaker 1>fifteen points that the Pacers scored to start the fourth quarter,

0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:10.560
<v Speaker 1>whether he's scoring the points directly or setting up his

0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:14.200
<v Speaker 1>teammates on assists. He went for twelve of his fourteen

0:05:14.240 --> 0:05:17.239
<v Speaker 1>and the fourth and final frame as the Pacers jumped

0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:19.039
<v Speaker 1>out to a twenty two to nine run to begin

0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:22.680
<v Speaker 1>the period, and that's certainly decisive, forcing the Sixers into

0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:24.520
<v Speaker 1>seven turnovers in the fourth and route to the one

0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:27.839
<v Speaker 1>hundred ninety two win. We bring up Tom Aginnis right now.

0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:31.920
<v Speaker 1>He had the game call in Indianapolis. I don't know, Tom,

0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:34.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I trying to figure out how to describe

0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:38.680
<v Speaker 1>the Lance Stevenson effect. He's just a weird, wacky player.

0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:41.279
<v Speaker 1>But if he finds the rhythm and the stroke, he

0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:43.360
<v Speaker 1>can hurt you, which he did for the Sixers against

0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:46.479
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers tonight. Yeah, not just a stroke, but you

0:05:46.520 --> 0:05:50.280
<v Speaker 1>know a lot of different things like getting the loose ball.

0:05:50.320 --> 0:05:53.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he's an incredible athlete getting the loose balls,

0:05:53.680 --> 0:05:57.520
<v Speaker 1>making passes, disrupting plays at the defensive end, as you say,

0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:01.440
<v Speaker 1>making a shot here or there. I almost wanted Brian,

0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:03.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, as I said last night, it's my progative.

0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:06.040
<v Speaker 1>I almost wanted to give him player the game because

0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:10.280
<v Speaker 1>his impetus in the fourth quarter was was a huge

0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:13.840
<v Speaker 1>factor in the game. And then like to your point

0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:16.760
<v Speaker 1>about him being helter skelter and up and down in

0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:19.839
<v Speaker 1>the roller coaster kind of way highs and lows. You know,

0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:22.880
<v Speaker 1>he hit the one play where he leapt in the air,

0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:27.000
<v Speaker 1>dropped the ball down like toward his feet and then underhead.

0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:30.159
<v Speaker 1>I guess it was a pass. It went nowhere near

0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:34.320
<v Speaker 1>the basket, sailed wide to the frame like by fifteen

0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:36.800
<v Speaker 1>feet and went into the third row. One of the

0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:39.880
<v Speaker 1>weirdest plays I've ever seen. And then comes right back

0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:42.760
<v Speaker 1>with another positive play for them, and then with that

0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:45.920
<v Speaker 1>file on Reddick. You know, like I said, he's out

0:06:45.960 --> 0:06:48.320
<v Speaker 1>of right, to the fence line of out of control,

0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:51.400
<v Speaker 1>and that was a that was a bad file for them.

0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:54.800
<v Speaker 1>And he does some things that might ignite some fireworks

0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:58.400
<v Speaker 1>with the opponent. By that I mean fisticuffs. I mean

0:06:58.400 --> 0:07:02.120
<v Speaker 1>he's that kind of player. And he fouled JJ hard

0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:05.320
<v Speaker 1>on the wrist and spun Reddick around. That led to

0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:09.880
<v Speaker 1>three free throws, and then JJ shortly thereafter had a three.

0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:12.920
<v Speaker 1>So it was wise of Nate mcmilly. You got a

0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:14.960
<v Speaker 1>lot of good out of him, and I thought it

0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:16.400
<v Speaker 1>was smart to bring him out of the game. They

0:07:16.400 --> 0:07:19.440
<v Speaker 1>brought Collison back in a little more steady of a player,

0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:22.160
<v Speaker 1>but hard fought game. And then you know, like the

0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:24.320
<v Speaker 1>question was posed to Brett, Brett, why do you think

0:07:24.360 --> 0:07:27.040
<v Speaker 1>that was with the shooting, And you know, again, I

0:07:27.040 --> 0:07:28.800
<v Speaker 1>don't know that a coach can say it, but I

0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:31.920
<v Speaker 1>just said this the other night in Milwaukee. It's fatigue.

0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:35.040
<v Speaker 1>And I'm not blaming anybody that these players are tired.

0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:37.520
<v Speaker 1>You could see this. Derek Dario, he's been a good

0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:40.160
<v Speaker 1>year shooting threes, and two of his shots in the

0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:43.160
<v Speaker 1>second half that were so bad they were one was

0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:46.040
<v Speaker 1>an airball and one hit the left quadrant of the glass.

0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:48.520
<v Speaker 1>And you know he helped win the game last night

0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:51.400
<v Speaker 1>with his outside shots. So those those are those threes.

0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:52.840
<v Speaker 1>You know, when you don't have your legs, that's a

0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:55.880
<v Speaker 1>very difficult shot. Again, the six was a high number

0:07:56.160 --> 0:08:00.360
<v Speaker 1>of attempts twenty seven tries, nine made threes, but just

0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:02.960
<v Speaker 1>didn't have the offense. They had a fourteen point third quarter.

0:08:03.320 --> 0:08:06.120
<v Speaker 1>Six Ers struggle for offense early in the fourth and

0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:08.440
<v Speaker 1>then when you fall behind eight ten with four or

0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:11.400
<v Speaker 1>five minutes to go, difficult spot from which to play

0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:13.560
<v Speaker 1>from behind and win the game. And it's been a

0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:16.640
<v Speaker 1>hard place a Sixers lost eight games in a row

0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:19.920
<v Speaker 1>here one hundred and ninety two. The final score Pacers

0:08:19.960 --> 0:08:22.360
<v Speaker 1>over the seventy Sixers, now three games in front of

0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:24.600
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers, towards the bottom half of the top eight

0:08:24.960 --> 0:08:27.880
<v Speaker 1>in the Eastern Conference. Joel ebid Tom twenty four points,

0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:31.200
<v Speaker 1>nine of ten from the field, ten rebounds, three assists,

0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:34.760
<v Speaker 1>two steals, the seven turnovers thirty three minutes thirty seven seconds,

0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:37.640
<v Speaker 1>game two of his first back to back ha do

0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:39.600
<v Speaker 1>you think overall he did what perspective would you put

0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:42.120
<v Speaker 1>it in again? Like Brett Brown said his numbers are

0:08:42.160 --> 0:08:44.840
<v Speaker 1>great unless you look at his plus minus which was

0:08:44.920 --> 0:08:48.560
<v Speaker 1>minus twenty and his turnovers that were seven. So again,

0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:53.280
<v Speaker 1>he played and he's a tremendous player. But again I

0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:55.959
<v Speaker 1>think the fatigue was a factor. Some of those turnovers

0:08:55.960 --> 0:08:59.080
<v Speaker 1>were careless. And sometimes it's you know, the mind and

0:08:59.120 --> 0:09:03.400
<v Speaker 1>the focus unders because you know the body is tired.

0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:06.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm just speaking in general in sports, you know, it's

0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:09.920
<v Speaker 1>it's like a boxer getting drilled several times and then

0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:12.720
<v Speaker 1>just not having the wherewithal to cover up and do

0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:15.040
<v Speaker 1>what he needs to do to stop getting punched, or

0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:17.760
<v Speaker 1>somebody in football that runs and gets tackled two or

0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:20.320
<v Speaker 1>three times. It takes a physical toll that it wanes

0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:22.840
<v Speaker 1>on the mind as well. So just in part like

0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:25.040
<v Speaker 1>I think some of that happened with Joelle, he had

0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:27.480
<v Speaker 1>a careless turnover in the game. Layton Brooklyn had a

0:09:27.520 --> 0:09:30.360
<v Speaker 1>couple here in the last segment of this game for

0:09:30.480 --> 0:09:33.040
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers, And I just think the more and more

0:09:33.080 --> 0:09:36.319
<v Speaker 1>he does this, the better. Again, to your point earlier,

0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:38.920
<v Speaker 1>seventy first game in his career, he doesn't even have

0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:42.800
<v Speaker 1>a full year of NBA basketball under his belt. He's

0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:46.600
<v Speaker 1>young in the game. He's extremely gifted. The more and

0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:49.280
<v Speaker 1>more he plays in back to back games, I believe

0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:51.600
<v Speaker 1>he'll start to clean this up. It'll be good for

0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:54.000
<v Speaker 1>him and great for the team the long term. Last

0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:57.160
<v Speaker 1>thing to touch upon for tonight tom Ben Simmons double

0:09:57.200 --> 0:10:00.120
<v Speaker 1>double number twenty on the year, but the last two

0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:03.839
<v Speaker 1>games zero turnovers, and if I'm not mistaken, I think

0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:09.160
<v Speaker 1>he's only committed one turnover now going on, let's see,

0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:12.240
<v Speaker 1>I think it might be fifteen consecutive quarters or two

0:10:12.320 --> 0:10:16.280
<v Speaker 1>turnovers in the last fifteen quarters. That's certainly. I know

0:10:16.280 --> 0:10:18.319
<v Speaker 1>there was an issue for the team tonight with the eighteen,

0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:19.960
<v Speaker 1>but for Simmons, being the guy with the ball in

0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:22.880
<v Speaker 1>his hands at all times, pretty much that has to be,

0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:26.520
<v Speaker 1>I guess considered a somewhat encouraging trend. Absolutely no question

0:10:26.600 --> 0:10:29.760
<v Speaker 1>about it. And again, the more shots you get up,

0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:32.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, the fewer turnovers, the more attempts you have

0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:34.640
<v Speaker 1>on the basket, and that can only benefit your team.

0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:38.560
<v Speaker 1>And that obviously a concerted effort there, and that's really

0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:41.320
<v Speaker 1>good because you know, it's one thing to talk about something,

0:10:41.400 --> 0:10:42.680
<v Speaker 1>but then to be able to go out there and

0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:45.840
<v Speaker 1>execute and change the way the course of the way

0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:49.040
<v Speaker 1>things are going is a huge positive. And Ben was

0:10:49.120 --> 0:10:51.599
<v Speaker 1>trying to start this game offensively, getting away from the

0:10:51.600 --> 0:10:55.199
<v Speaker 1>turnovers a little bit with those aggressive pursuits on the basket,

0:10:55.559 --> 0:10:57.440
<v Speaker 1>and then they got help and he wasn't able to

0:10:57.440 --> 0:11:00.520
<v Speaker 1>get completely to the basket. And then sometimes when you're

0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:03.800
<v Speaker 1>four and six feet away, those one hand twisting shots

0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:06.319
<v Speaker 1>he makes, particularly where he doesn't have the glass to

0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:10.000
<v Speaker 1>his advantage, like from the short those are hard, high

0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:12.920
<v Speaker 1>degree of difficulty types of shots. He didn't make a

0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:15.720
<v Speaker 1>lot of those early in the end. He did have

0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:19.520
<v Speaker 1>nice numbers across the board. Simmons played thirty five minutes.

0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:23.280
<v Speaker 1>He had ten and eleven plus six assists, but four

0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:27.240
<v Speaker 1>or thirteen from the field, and just overall, Indiana had

0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:30.960
<v Speaker 1>a better game, more strong performances up and down the line,

0:11:31.000 --> 0:11:33.760
<v Speaker 1>they got the crowd behind them. Tough night shooting for

0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:37.280
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers in general, just thirty eight percent for the game,

0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:40.640
<v Speaker 1>and hard to do on the road with late turnovers

0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:43.599
<v Speaker 1>and not a lot of production in the fourth quarter. Offensively,

0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:46.880
<v Speaker 1>hard fought victory for Indiana shapes up to be another

0:11:46.880 --> 0:11:49.400
<v Speaker 1>good matchup in Philadelphia, with a meet for the third

0:11:49.520 --> 0:11:52.960
<v Speaker 1>and final time, and again halfway or fifty games and

0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:55.560
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers are five hundred so far in the year.

0:11:55.720 --> 0:11:58.400
<v Speaker 1>Not bad. Two games and two nights. Now time again

0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:01.480
<v Speaker 1>us go enjoy two days that a game, all right,

0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:03.199
<v Speaker 1>Probably it'll be good for the Sixers to go home

0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:06.400
<v Speaker 1>and play five consecutive games at the Center that have

0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:08.800
<v Speaker 1>to do good with that home court record. That build

0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:10.559
<v Speaker 1>that up a little bit. Thanks and good night. All

0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:12.640
<v Speaker 1>righty Tom again, it's the great call of tonight's game

0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:15.680
<v Speaker 1>one hundred ninety two, the final Pacers over the seventy Sixers.

0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:17.920
<v Speaker 1>We'll get to hear some of Tom's calls coming up.

0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:20.800
<v Speaker 1>On the other side. It's the postgame showing the sixersread Network,

0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:28.120
<v Speaker 1>two teams vying for better positioning in the Eastern Conference,

0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:30.959
<v Speaker 1>both playing on the second nights of a back to back,

0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:33.840
<v Speaker 1>one of them with one very large man making his

0:12:33.920 --> 0:12:38.160
<v Speaker 1>first career appearance in said back to back. Brian Seltzer

0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:40.560
<v Speaker 1>with you from Sixers dot Com. Final segment of our

0:12:40.559 --> 0:12:44.800
<v Speaker 1>postgame coverage. Joel Embid and the Sixers at the Pacers

0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:47.360
<v Speaker 1>second time and as many nights in the first time

0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:49.959
<v Speaker 1>that Ibid playing career game number seventy one cleared for

0:12:50.040 --> 0:12:53.560
<v Speaker 1>back to back action. Sixers and Pacers competitive early Ben

0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:56.760
<v Speaker 1>Simmons with a high impact play. Simmons on the backdown

0:12:56.760 --> 0:12:59.199
<v Speaker 1>against Boydanovat you're comes the bonus to give help if

0:12:59.280 --> 0:13:01.280
<v Speaker 1>did you help? All faked dribble, move back to bed,

0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:04.240
<v Speaker 1>bend in the lead hand, a right head jam with authority,

0:13:04.320 --> 0:13:07.880
<v Speaker 1>a throwdown in Indy. We saw and I could say

0:13:07.960 --> 0:13:10.120
<v Speaker 1>heard that last night as well in the win over Miami.

0:13:10.160 --> 0:13:12.760
<v Speaker 1>The inverted action high low between and Beat and Simmons.

0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:14.960
<v Speaker 1>It paid dividends last night and again in the first

0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:19.319
<v Speaker 1>quarter this evening, Sixers trailed thirty three twenty seven. After one.

0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:21.800
<v Speaker 1>You could tell the Pacers came out with purpose after

0:13:21.840 --> 0:13:24.520
<v Speaker 1>a tough loss last night in Charlotte in which they

0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:27.160
<v Speaker 1>gave up forty nine first quarter points and one hundred

0:13:27.200 --> 0:13:30.079
<v Speaker 1>thirty three overall. There was some intensity about them. They

0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:33.240
<v Speaker 1>opened up the lead to thirteen early on in the second.

0:13:33.440 --> 0:13:36.559
<v Speaker 1>Then the Sixers started dial up a great string and

0:13:36.640 --> 0:13:41.040
<v Speaker 1>wave of three point possessions. Indiana biss bed between the legs,

0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:43.040
<v Speaker 1>bed back out top, the coming to three ball in

0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:46.760
<v Speaker 1>the air, Robert coming to us, burned another Simmons of

0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:50.000
<v Speaker 1>the fancy tribble, and Robert coming to three for three

0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:54.360
<v Speaker 1>from beyond fifty fifty that capped a twenty two to

0:13:54.440 --> 0:13:58.160
<v Speaker 1>eight stretch in favor of the Sixers. On seven consecutive possessions,

0:13:58.360 --> 0:14:02.319
<v Speaker 1>they produced three points. Six of those possessions in three pointers,

0:14:02.360 --> 0:14:05.480
<v Speaker 1>the one exception a traditional three point play from Dario

0:14:05.640 --> 0:14:09.080
<v Speaker 1>charch Sixers and the Pacers. They would go down the

0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:11.240
<v Speaker 1>stretch of the second quarter, as the Pacers had scored

0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:13.880
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers ten to two, and they took a sixty

0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:17.080
<v Speaker 1>two fifty seven lead into the break. Early on in

0:14:17.120 --> 0:14:20.480
<v Speaker 1>the third quarter, some action involving the seven footer playing

0:14:20.520 --> 0:14:22.360
<v Speaker 1>for the second time and as many nights for the

0:14:22.400 --> 0:14:25.360
<v Speaker 1>first time. Dario's gonna shoot at three is up ribby

0:14:25.400 --> 0:14:27.520
<v Speaker 1>now No Joel with a rebound, It beat, puts it back,

0:14:27.640 --> 0:14:29.880
<v Speaker 1>a figure rolls no Good gets it again, It gets

0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:31.400
<v Speaker 1>jung and Turner puts it up with a left hand,

0:14:32.120 --> 0:14:35.240
<v Speaker 1>fights his way through two defenders and it beat scores it.

0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:38.760
<v Speaker 1>Emblematic of his effort throughout the night, hard fighting, very

0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:42.080
<v Speaker 1>physical and active over the course of the game, Sixers

0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:44.920
<v Speaker 1>keeping it close late in the third courtesy of Mbat

0:14:45.480 --> 0:14:48.440
<v Speaker 1>eight seconds ago, Joel gets a screen for TJ now

0:14:48.520 --> 0:14:50.600
<v Speaker 1>mcconnough with three to a beat, He takes a look

0:14:50.600 --> 0:14:52.480
<v Speaker 1>at the clock, he fires for two and a ten

0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:55.560
<v Speaker 1>joel and beat. With two tenths of a second to

0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:59.200
<v Speaker 1>go in the third seventy six seventy five Pacer is

0:14:59.240 --> 0:15:02.720
<v Speaker 1>going into the four the whisper of what only he

0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:06.720
<v Speaker 1>perhaps knows, But Lance Stevenson then started dialing things up.

0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:09.520
<v Speaker 1>He would have a say in fifteen straight points for

0:15:09.640 --> 0:15:13.360
<v Speaker 1>the Pacers, and this sequence was towards the end of

0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:16.840
<v Speaker 1>a fourth quarter opening twenty two to nine tear that

0:15:16.920 --> 0:15:20.160
<v Speaker 1>decided the game pretty much for the Pacers. High screen rolls,

0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:21.880
<v Speaker 1>aboon us a little deep ball equal to the left

0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:26.280
<v Speaker 1>side Stevenson three ball shot, air ball game, let's Stevenson

0:15:26.440 --> 0:15:29.720
<v Speaker 1>put today in their ninth three He's got fourteenth. They

0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:33.240
<v Speaker 1>go up thirteen with three h nine to go, twelve

0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:36.280
<v Speaker 1>of Stevenson's fourteen points in the game coming in the

0:15:36.480 --> 0:15:39.600
<v Speaker 1>fourth quarter, in which the Sixers gave them all away

0:15:39.720 --> 0:15:44.160
<v Speaker 1>seven times. Major storyline in tonight's loss. Final notes from

0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:47.320
<v Speaker 1>the final stat sheets. Pacers bounce back defensively, hold the

0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:50.200
<v Speaker 1>Sixers to just under thirty eight from the field seventy

0:15:50.240 --> 0:15:52.760
<v Speaker 1>Sixers give up forty four and a half percent shooting

0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:55.440
<v Speaker 1>to the Pacers six or ten of thirty two from

0:15:55.480 --> 0:15:58.080
<v Speaker 1>outside the arc. The Pacers were nine of twenty seven

0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:00.240
<v Speaker 1>Indiana with a little bit of an advantage from the

0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:03.120
<v Speaker 1>free throw line plus five. In terms of foul shots

0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:05.800
<v Speaker 1>made six or sixteen to twenty four Pacers twenty one

0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:08.880
<v Speaker 1>to twenty five Sixers plus six on the glass butt.

0:16:08.880 --> 0:16:12.200
<v Speaker 1>They commit eighteen turnovers and as we mentioned, seven in

0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:15.640
<v Speaker 1>the key, fourth and final quarter. Individual notes will start

0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:18.920
<v Speaker 1>with the Pacers. Fourteen for Stevenson, who was plus fifteen

0:16:19.000 --> 0:16:23.960
<v Speaker 1>in the game, nineteen apiece for Victor Oladipo, and Boyon Bogdanovitch.

0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:27.080
<v Speaker 1>Bogdanovitch with four three pointers and he was a steady

0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:30.360
<v Speaker 1>presence for the Pacers throughout the night. For the Sixers,

0:16:30.440 --> 0:16:33.600
<v Speaker 1>they were led by Joel Embi, game high points and

0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:36.920
<v Speaker 1>rebounds for him in terms of twenty four and ten.

0:16:37.320 --> 0:16:39.920
<v Speaker 1>Ben Simmons a double double with ten points your pardon.

0:16:39.960 --> 0:16:42.520
<v Speaker 1>Simmons had the game high in rebounds with eleven. Simmons

0:16:42.640 --> 0:16:44.440
<v Speaker 1>is twentieth double double of the season to go with

0:16:44.600 --> 0:16:47.560
<v Speaker 1>six assists. He was four of thirteen from the field,

0:16:47.880 --> 0:16:51.320
<v Speaker 1>and he won a second consecutive game without committing a turnover.

0:16:51.440 --> 0:16:53.520
<v Speaker 1>Pretty good, but the rest of his teammates had some

0:16:53.600 --> 0:16:56.880
<v Speaker 1>issues with ball security. Sixteen points for Dario Schartz. He

0:16:56.960 --> 0:17:01.240
<v Speaker 1>also finished with five rebounds and two assists for Robert Covington,

0:17:01.480 --> 0:17:04.560
<v Speaker 1>who at three three pointers and also had eight rebounds,

0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:10.800
<v Speaker 1>three steals and a plus seven rating for these seventy sixers. Tonight, Sixers,

0:17:10.880 --> 0:17:13.560
<v Speaker 1>with the loss dropped back to five hundred, twenty five

0:17:13.640 --> 0:17:16.640
<v Speaker 1>and twenty five Pacers, improved to thirty and twenty four.

0:17:17.200 --> 0:17:20.440
<v Speaker 1>Seventy Sixers now three games behind the Pacers in the

0:17:20.480 --> 0:17:24.280
<v Speaker 1>Eastern Conference standings, as Indiana should move into sixth place. Tonight,

0:17:24.680 --> 0:17:29.000
<v Speaker 1>Sixers holding Tights at eighth, but the Detroit Pistons winning

0:17:29.000 --> 0:17:32.159
<v Speaker 1>again tonight beating Miami close on their heels, now to

0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:35.359
<v Speaker 1>within a half game of the seventy Sixers. Since adding

0:17:35.440 --> 0:17:38.440
<v Speaker 1>Blake Griffin, Sixers will get two days off. They're back
