Speaker 1: This is seventy Sixers. Rewind time now to listen back
Speaker 1: to postgame reaction from the team's most recent game. The
Speaker 1: Sixers defeat the Golden State Warriors final score one thirteen,
Speaker 1: one oh four in front of a set out crowd
Speaker 1: of nineteen thousand, five hundred and ninety six here at
Speaker 1: Oracles Arena in Oakland, California. Good morning, Tomigan is back
Speaker 1: here as we press on late night here from Oakland, California,
Speaker 1: the Sixers with their biggest win of the year and
Speaker 1: our Independence Blue Cross players of the game Ben Simmons
Speaker 1: and Joel and b in b with twenty six points,
Speaker 1: twenty rebounds, five assists, two steals. Ben Simmons twenty six points,
Speaker 1: eight rebounds, six assists, three steals, an a block. Simmons
Speaker 1: went ten of thirteen and almost as telling six of
Speaker 1: nine from the nine, Joel with ten of twelve. For
Speaker 1: the nine they both played, Joel played thirty three almost
Speaker 1: thirty four minutes and Ben Simmons played nearly thirty nine minutes.
Speaker 1: So they are our Independence Blue Cross players of the game.
Speaker 1: Independence Blue Cross, Live, fearless and get the power of
Speaker 1: Independence at ibx dot com. The Warriors were led by
Speaker 1: Curry with forty one. Kevin Durant had twenty five, but
Speaker 1: again Curry had all but one of their three point
Speaker 1: field goals. He made ten, and Durant had won him
Speaker 1: late in the game. He was the only other player
Speaker 1: to make a three for the Warriors. As a group,
Speaker 1: they won eleven of thirty eight, just twenty nine percent.
Speaker 1: Durant himself went one of eight and worth noting they
Speaker 1: played the game without Clay Thompson, but Alfonso McKinney went
Speaker 1: five for five. He got his first ever started. He's
Speaker 1: a young player in his second year out of Wisconsin
Speaker 1: Green Bay. He had eleven points, one of four double
Speaker 1: figures scorers for them. Also for the Sixers, Reddick had fifteen,
Speaker 1: is fifty ninth consecutive games in double figures and fifty
Speaker 1: nine straight games for JJ and double digits. And off
Speaker 1: the bench, Shammon had ten. The Sixers bench outscored their
Speaker 1: bench thirty one to sixteen. So a great win for
Speaker 1: the Sixers. They've not won two in a row and
Speaker 1: they've even the ledger on the road. An important thing
Speaker 1: for a team that's trying to win fifty plus, you've
Speaker 1: got to go at least five hundred on the road.
Speaker 1: The Sixers now thirty four and eighteen. They're in third
Speaker 1: in the Eastern Conference. The Warriors have an eleven game
Speaker 1: winning streaks snap. They're now thirty six at fifteen. Our
Speaker 1: postgame coverage continues after this ninety seventy five the fanatic.
Speaker 1: So the Sixers with the victory as they beat the
Speaker 1: Warriors by nine, and they'll move on to Sacramento to
Speaker 1: meet the Kings on Saturday night, and Sacramento beat the Sixers.
Speaker 1: They're in sack last year. They're currently a game over
Speaker 1: five hundred. They're in the Pacific Division. They're fourth behind
Speaker 1: the Warriors, the Clippers, and the Lakers. And a great
Speaker 1: win here for the Sixers. They took control in the
Speaker 1: third quarter in play with a forty two point third
Speaker 1: quarter and the Sixers hold on. They had the defense
Speaker 1: down the stretch. I'll tell you Ben Simmons not only
Speaker 1: with twenty six points, eight rebounds and six or six,
Speaker 1: but he plays a great defense. Let's hear from Brett
Speaker 1: Brown outside the six Ers lacker robert O clip possession
Speaker 1: that they get Golden State comes at you. You know,
Speaker 1: you're just so nervous that there's going to be some
Speaker 1: three launch because they have so many capable scorers and
Speaker 1: you just have to withstand it. And the crowd is exceptional.
Speaker 1: It's one of the best crowds in the NBA and
Speaker 1: all over the place. You never ever really feel that
Speaker 1: comfortable that the game, that the game is going to
Speaker 1: be just fine. You just don't think like that. He
Speaker 1: talked a lot before the game about this kind of
Speaker 1: being that defensive test for you guys. How do you
Speaker 1: think you fair tonight? I thought we played pretty good defense.
Speaker 1: I think it's a second half defense especially was was solid.
Speaker 1: I think that if you look at just like the
Speaker 1: end of the game, Jimmy had a big steal on KD.
Speaker 1: Ben made an extra effort sort of close on and
Speaker 1: got a piece of steps three point shot. Mike Muscala
Speaker 1: tracked down the train transition and you know, smacked it
Speaker 1: on the backboard, and Joel was Joel. I think that
Speaker 1: that defensively, especially in the second half, we were pretty
Speaker 1: good and we needed to be. What you make of
Speaker 1: Ben's all round performance, but you always talked about him
Speaker 1: scratching the surface defensively, I mean, is this what you're
Speaker 1: talking about from him? Talks of it for show. I
Speaker 1: thought I thought Ben. I thought Ben had in my eyes,
Speaker 1: his best NBA game, And if it wasn't the best,
Speaker 1: it was certainly one of them. And I don't know
Speaker 1: if if just the the the awareness that he now
Speaker 1: is an All Star, if there was you know, extra pressure,
Speaker 1: a burden that was kind of self inflicted was removed,
Speaker 1: I don't know. What I do know is he was incredible.
Speaker 1: Some of the defensive plays that he made running the team,
Speaker 1: some of the passes that he made extra aff at
Speaker 1: little tips, you know, to bang it ahead to Jimmy
Speaker 1: as an example. I just thought he played the complete game.
Speaker 1: He it was a tremendous leader and he played within himself.
Speaker 1: And today he was named an NBA All Star. And
Speaker 1: so for Ben, I'm really I'm very proud of him,
Speaker 1: and I thought that his game tonight might have been
Speaker 1: his best NBA game. Brett Brown talking about Ben Simmons,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, he was ratcheted up for this,
Speaker 1: with no doubt. The All Star nod gave him some
Speaker 1: extra jews. He was fired up, but I'd say he
Speaker 1: was fired up to guard Brandon Ingram the other night.
Speaker 1: Simmons in his third year second here excuse me. He
Speaker 1: is outstanding thirty eight minutes, twenty six points and he
Speaker 1: helps along with him beating the Sixers propel over the
Speaker 1: Golden State Warriors. Guess what we have more postgame coverage

Speaker 1: California at Oracle Arena, where the Sixers defeated the Warriors
Speaker 1: by the final of one thirteen, one oh four. Tom
Speaker 1: McGinnis with you if what could be considered the Sixers'
Speaker 1: biggest win of the year. They've won thirty four games
Speaker 1: now thirteen on the road. They defeat the Warriors after
Speaker 1: losing ten straight games against Golden State, including six in
Speaker 1: this very building, and it was a big third quarter
Speaker 1: and second half for the Sixers that helped the held
Speaker 1: him to this nine point when the Sixers racked up
Speaker 1: forty two points in the third on the road, and
Speaker 1: that's their best scoring third quarter in over two years.
Speaker 1: Joel and Bead lead the way with twenty six as
Speaker 1: well as Ben Simmons and Beat in the second half
Speaker 1: had seventeen of his points. Ben Simmons had eleven in
Speaker 1: the second half, and JJ Reddick at a nine to
Speaker 1: Sixers bench was very good. McConnell, Bolden, Shammont, Brewer and
Speaker 1: Muscala all scored in the second half, and the Sixers
Speaker 1: bench outplayed and outscored the Warriors bench to the tune
Speaker 1: of thirty one to sixteen, a major advantage in this game.
Speaker 1: So let's get started with our highlights. Ben Simmons a
Speaker 1: newly minted Eastern Conference All Star, and he played like it.
Speaker 1: He was fired up from the jump. Simmons got a
Speaker 1: breakaway jam in the early part of the game. Warriors
Speaker 1: ball curry outside right to fuck it by Bolden had
Speaker 1: a Sixers stale head. Here is Ben Simmons with a breakout,
Speaker 1: uncontested two hand half time out Warrior tie game. The
Speaker 1: Sixers down eleven of rard back to time. It's twenty
Speaker 1: seven all. The Warriors ended up leading by five after
Speaker 1: one thirty five to thirty turnovers and points off turnovers
Speaker 1: for the Warriors was a big factor in that opening quarter.
Speaker 1: But the Sixers got things right in a little bit
Speaker 1: in the second quarter. Rookie Landry Shammon. Listen to this sequence.
Speaker 1: He makes a defensive play with an outstanding block from behind,
Speaker 1: runs the court. Sixers maneuver around a little bit, and
Speaker 1: he makes a big three and gets fouled. Let's hear
Speaker 1: run out for cook cooked coma blocked by Shammon. Landry
Speaker 1: Shammon put the defensive play of his rookie gear Butler
Speaker 1: to Mascala, back out to Shammon cann he cap it
Speaker 1: over the three. Dude got it, Matty was found and
Speaker 1: the basketball I shucker Landry Shammon, out of which tossed
Speaker 1: tint O gam and Shammon ended up with ten points
Speaker 1: in the game. Again multiple threes three in the game
Speaker 1: all told twelve for the Sixers from Deep Sixers at
Speaker 1: the half trail sixty two fifty three. Stephen Curry was
Speaker 1: a major factor for them. He had eight threes in
Speaker 1: the first half, ended with forty one points. Here's Curry
Speaker 1: from deep late in the second quarter. Curry from Durant
Speaker 1: along three in the year and gun again. Are you
Speaker 1: kidding me? Stephen Curry pours it in from the bay
Speaker 1: oh Man. And at halftime the Warriors, as I mentioned,
Speaker 1: led by seven. We go to the third where the
Speaker 1: Sixers began to comeback and once again Ben Simmons getting
Speaker 1: the hoop. Joelle is able to get it, but now
Speaker 1: the Sixers only three and at Pa with the three,
Speaker 1: he's gonna drive it running off the glass. Hire can
Speaker 1: shin up, but a rebound right at jam Ben Simmons
Speaker 1: throws it down. Good job and beat just to get
Speaker 1: it off and Simmons, Jim did. Ben Simmons from the
Speaker 1: field ten makes on thirteen tries. He had eight rebounds,
Speaker 1: six assists, three steals like him be twenty six points.
Speaker 1: An incredible game for simm Stephen Curry though, keeping the
Speaker 1: Warriors close, he makes what here? It was eighty one
Speaker 1: to eighty for twenty the third durrant the left side,
Speaker 1: Curry to catch the shot, the priests in the air
Speaker 1: and Curry get it again. I don't nobody's hit the rim.
Speaker 1: Stephen Curry's got eight bay threes. But the Sixers led
Speaker 1: after three ninety five to eighty six. They outscore the
Speaker 1: Warriors in the third quarter by sixteen points. We go
Speaker 1: to the fourth and final frame. Jimmy Butler did not
Speaker 1: have a huge game offensively. In fact, he did not
Speaker 1: score in the first half. He went three for twelve
Speaker 1: from the field. But he had seven points in the
Speaker 1: second half, including this play, which ended up being a
Speaker 1: three point sequence. Simmons turns faces, drives it in the lane,
Speaker 1: takes a hit behind the back, pauls to Jimmy Butler's
Speaker 1: puts it a gun. Had a file on Draymond Grade.
Speaker 1: What a pass by Ben Simmons. He jumped, he left
Speaker 1: over the yellow painted lane, threw the ball no look
Speaker 1: while in the air no look, passed behind his back.
Speaker 1: Butler got it, scored it and as I mentioned, was fouled.
Speaker 1: I mean, Butler had a big steal late. He ended
Speaker 1: up in the game with seven points, nine rebounds, six assists,
Speaker 1: and two steals while shooting just three of twelve from
Speaker 1: the field, including all of six from beyond the arc.
Speaker 1: So an off night offensively, but contributed Jimmy Butler did
Speaker 1: in multiple ways across the board. So we come down
Speaker 1: to the stretch and there's that man again, JJ Reddick,
Speaker 1: now in double figures for fifty nine consecutive games. Reddick
Speaker 1: with another three like he did in Los Angeles. That
Speaker 1: provided the winning margin for the Sixers. Eight to shoot
Speaker 1: Butler going one on one, Butler driven against Draymond Green.
Speaker 1: Four to shoot Jimmy JJ Reddick driving right side, three
Speaker 1: boat in the air up god a Sixers. JJ Reddick
Speaker 1: knocks down to three twenty two seconds ago, a nine
Speaker 1: point coming off your lead, and the Sixers go on
Speaker 1: to win one thirteen, one oh four. Just a scentilating
Speaker 1: victory here on the road for the seventy six ers,
Speaker 1: and like I say, what I would think, without doubt
Speaker 1: their best win of the year. They beat the world
Speaker 1: champion Warriors by nine on their home floor. All of
Speaker 1: the things that had been heavily leaning toward the Warriors,
Speaker 1: the fact that they won eleven games in a row,
Speaker 1: the longest winning streak in the NBA. They'd beaten the
Speaker 1: Sixers ten times in a row. It was the first
Speaker 1: home game for DeMarcus Cousins. He ended up with seven points,
Speaker 1: going three for ten with six boards and six asses.
Speaker 1: He had a difficult time against Joe wellvenbe Cavan Looney
Speaker 1: came off the bench. He had fourteen for the Warriors.
Speaker 1: They played the game without Clay Thompson, who missed the
Speaker 1: game because he was under the weather. Alfonso McKinney, a
Speaker 1: second year player from Wisconsin Green Bay, came in. He
Speaker 1: played well. He went five for five. They went to
Speaker 1: him early and often. He had eleven points. But the
Speaker 1: Sixers back Blacklyn and Bill Hudson here in Oakland, California.
Speaker 1: That'll wrap it up tonight. The Sixers beat the Warriors
Speaker 1: by nine, one thirteen, one oh four. Good night from California,
Speaker 1: Tom A Gonnas saying thanks everybody, so long you've been
