Speaker 1: This is seventy Sixers. Rewind time now to listen back
Speaker 1: to postgame reaction from the team's most recent game, Sixers
Speaker 1: beat the Kings. Here's Brett Brown outside of Acawo. That
Speaker 1: is how we sub. That is what I'm looking at, um,
Speaker 1: and it's it's driven by a lot of different factors,
Speaker 1: you know, some gut feel, some analytics, certainly pairings with shooters,
Speaker 1: and how do we feature as an example, you know,
Speaker 1: Jimmy Moore and that pairing UM and let him do
Speaker 1: some more things with the ball. So that that that
Speaker 1: type of thought process went into how we sub tonight.
Speaker 1: I thought, I agree. I thought if it was one
Speaker 1: of his best games, he was a bell ringer tonight,
Speaker 1: we will not and I'll say not even close. We
Speaker 1: will not be as good as we can be without
Speaker 1: him playing like he plays and like he played tonight.
Speaker 1: And you know, I'm the coach. I got to figure
Speaker 1: out the best way to do this. Some of it's
Speaker 1: what you just said with substitutions and rotations, some of
Speaker 1: it's his teammates recognizing some of it's on him, and
Speaker 1: somewhere in the middle, you know, if we can all meet.
Speaker 1: He's just incredibly gifted. He really is so athletic that
Speaker 1: he can make plays through that sort of physical presence
Speaker 1: in skill package. And we need him. We need him.
Speaker 1: That's the bottom line for the game. We mentioned that,
Speaker 1: you know, Ben's adapting period hasn't have to be much
Speaker 1: because he controls the ball so much. So are you
Speaker 1: hoping that you can get maybe Jimmy in similar situations
Speaker 1: so that he can find his spots more easily, maybe
Speaker 1: control temple a little bit more. I think that's fair,
Speaker 1: Sarah Um. It's a it's we we've talked before about
Speaker 1: the environment that I feel like I can most do it.
Speaker 1: It's after free throws. It's underneath out of bounds, it's
Speaker 1: on side out of bounds, it's coming out of timeouts.
Speaker 1: It's something that's really slow, but you know, the game
Speaker 1: chugs along and you want to let the thing move
Speaker 1: and share and play and so on. Somewhere in those
Speaker 1: static type moments, those static type environments is the place
Speaker 1: that I hope to be able to, you know, give
Speaker 1: Jimmy the ball. You have these conversations, what can I
Speaker 1: do to help you more? What can we do? I mean,
Speaker 1: it's it's at a stage where for I'm sure him
Speaker 1: and me that we've had lots of previous discussions to
Speaker 1: learn about different things, and and I have heard him,
Speaker 1: and he has heard me. And we're trying to get
Speaker 1: this right. And there are lots of capable people on
Speaker 1: our team. And what I have said be four and
Speaker 1: I'll say it again when it gets down to ninety
Speaker 1: two ninety two, six minutes left in a game. You know,
Speaker 1: he's going to be an integral part of what we
Speaker 1: do and what I'm thinking. And so we hope to
Speaker 1: continue to try to grow what you saw tonight each other. Offense,
Speaker 1: I think, Sharon, you know what, do we have ten turnovers?
Speaker 1: We didn't really turn it over that much. UM. I
Speaker 1: like it when when we play with some level of
Speaker 1: pace and the ball moves and things are a little
Speaker 1: bit unpredictable, you know, to just walk it up and
Speaker 1: call a play that I don't feel feel that that's
Speaker 1: how you really win. Um. I don't feel like that's
Speaker 1: how you really win. And so I think we had
Speaker 1: twenty eight assists, you know, ten turnovers. That's that's not
Speaker 1: too bad. And to your point, when you look down
Speaker 1: and you see, you know, Jimmy with fourteen shots to
Speaker 1: bias sixteen, Joel with nineteen, JJ would twelve, Ben would twelve.
Speaker 1: That's pretty good distribution. That's pretty good sharing. And I
Speaker 1: think that when you look down at the bench, you
Speaker 1: know you see James Ennis. I'm really happy with what
Speaker 1: I'm seeing in him defensively, and really he's known more
Speaker 1: for being sort of a corner shooter, but I really
Speaker 1: like his energy and his toughness that he's shown over
Speaker 1: the past few games. That Sixers coach Brett Brown and
Speaker 1: wins his hundred and seventy first game as a Sixers coach.
Speaker 1: He's speaking lastly about James Ennis, who played nineteen minutes
Speaker 1: had two points in the game. Jimmy Butler with twenty
Speaker 1: two points, seven assistant, six rebounds plus two steals in
Speaker 1: a block. He went eight of fourteen, six of seven
Speaker 1: for nine. He played thirty five minutes. He was our
Speaker 1: Independence Blue Class Player of the game. And as Brett
Speaker 1: Brown talked about, he was the bell ringer, which is
Speaker 1: in the six years locker room pretty neat tradition, and
Speaker 1: that basically is the most valuable player from the coaches
Speaker 1: and players perspective, if in the locker room is the
Speaker 1: Sixers beat the Kings one twenty three to one fourteen.
Speaker 1: Tom again us back here at the center of sellout
Speaker 1: crowd twenty thousand, seven hundred and four on hand here tonight.
Speaker 1: The Sixers led by four after one, both teams at
Speaker 1: twenty nine points in the second quarters, so the Sixers
Speaker 1: were in front by that same four point margin at
Speaker 1: intermission sixty two to fifty eight. Then they begin to
Speaker 1: pull away a little bit. They outscored the Kings by
Speaker 1: six in the third quarter, and the Sixers led ninety
Speaker 1: nine eighty nine at the end of three quarters of play,
Speaker 1: and they hold on to win one twenty three to
Speaker 1: one fourteen. We'll come back with highlights and wrap things

Speaker 1: the center. Tom McGinnis with our post game coverage is
Speaker 1: Sixers defeat Sacramento one, twenty three to one, fourteen three
Speaker 1: straight wins for the Sixers. They're forty fourth victory on
Speaker 1: the ear and they snap a three game losing streak
Speaker 1: to the Sacramento Kings. Let's get through our highlights. Two
Speaker 1: elven Beat hit a big game for the Sixers. Twenty
Speaker 1: one point, seventeen rebounds, three assists, and four blocks. He
Speaker 1: gets points and a rebound on this put back jamp
Speaker 1: early in the game. Here's a nice beat to Harris,
Speaker 1: but he goes back to the corner, shoots and come
Speaker 1: there around it up beat with a rebound slam point.
Speaker 1: Beat's got a spring tonight. He just looks really superb.
Speaker 1: Great timy, perfect execution, two hands slam on they put
Speaker 1: back and it's nineteen to ten. It would be the
Speaker 1: Sixers thirty three Sacramento twenty nine. After one the King's
Speaker 1: young fours off the bench, Giles and Bagley both very effective.
Speaker 1: They got the Kings into a tie with the Sixers,
Speaker 1: as Marvin Bagley the third with a field goal. Here
Speaker 1: Yogi Ferrell out top, guarded by McConnell. Bagley with it,
Speaker 1: bo bonds back on. Here's Bagley with a long two
Speaker 1: and that's good. That ties the game at thirty seven.
Speaker 1: Bagley at fifteen, five field goals, five free throws, real smooth.
Speaker 1: The second game back after missing five with a knee injury,
Speaker 1: and it was a tie game. There actually were eight
Speaker 1: ties in the game. Jimmy Butler, though, puts the Sixers
Speaker 1: back on top. He finished with twenty two points. And
Speaker 1: here's Jimmy Butler. Here's a drive five Butler through everybody,
Speaker 1: twists up with reverse and in wow, how's he do that?
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler incredible drive from the right wing through the lane,
Speaker 1: left reverse and scores it with a multitude of Kings
Speaker 1: players there. Butler went eight fourteen and thirty five minutes,
Speaker 1: seven assists and six rebounds, plus a block and two steal.
Speaker 1: Sixers led it to half by four sixty two fifty eight.
Speaker 1: Buddy heal ties the game at sixty six. But he'll
Speaker 1: not really as potent as he was, particularly out in
Speaker 1: Sacramento when the Kings beat the Sixers. He had thirty
Speaker 1: four in that game to ninety had fourteen. Here they'll
Speaker 1: healed one of his two threes. Bunny healed with it.
Speaker 1: It's the second time that lead a Consimmonson but unable
Speaker 1: to connect, held out a transition up and good look
Speaker 1: out Bunny Ball starting to heat up his second trade.
Speaker 1: It's a tie game. So the Sixers and the Kings
Speaker 1: were even at sixty six. The Sixers would get another
Speaker 1: nice play later in the third quarters to Bias Harris
Speaker 1: with a jam. Harris had five points at halftime. He
Speaker 1: finished with nineteen. Here's to Bias Harris with a jam.
Speaker 1: Harris has the ball, Harris looking for Marianovitch. Marianovitch gets
Speaker 1: it back to Harris and a slam. They returned to
Speaker 1: favor timeout Acameno, Marianovic to the bias Harris and Harris
Speaker 1: now with a strong third quarter thirteen points. There's no
Speaker 1: doubt a great connection between Harris and Marianovitch. Sixers led
Speaker 1: by ten after three. It was ninety nine eighty nine
Speaker 1: again a sellout crowd, one of the great crowds of
Speaker 1: the year twenty thousand, seven hundred and four on hand,
Speaker 1: the Sixers have sold out every single game this year.
Speaker 1: We go to the fourth quarter. Yogi Farrell was their
Speaker 1: big point guard off the bench. He played nineteen minutes.
Speaker 1: He had seven points, and Farrell with a corner shot
Speaker 1: to pull the Kings within three early in the fourth
Speaker 1: back out to Ennis for three. Ruby nowt no rebound Sacramento.
Speaker 1: Prewer pushes forward right to left to the quarner. Farrell
Speaker 1: Yogi for three gotten and the Sixers lead is three.
Speaker 1: So the Sixers would take time out, button Joel and
Speaker 1: be with multiple big time plays both defensively and offensively.
Speaker 1: And that's really been that's one of the things that
Speaker 1: screened together during this homestand as he did it against
Speaker 1: Indiana in the fourth quarter and in the second half
Speaker 1: on Sunday, did it late against the Cavaliers here on Tuesday,
Speaker 1: and he holds down the ford here in the late
Speaker 1: stages against Sacramento, and Beat puts the Sixers up seven
Speaker 1: with this basket here and Beat against Carli Stie between
Speaker 1: the leggs, pot the back down, face fires at it
Speaker 1: and Beat comes back with two great plays. He's doing
Speaker 1: it again time out Sacramento, and he raises his hands
Speaker 1: in the crowd and they risk fog with a cacophonous roar.
Speaker 1: So it'd be with that field goal, and that came
Speaker 1: on an offensive sequence just after he took almost a
Speaker 1: similarly placed shot in other words, on the same floor
Speaker 1: spot on the floor and ended up missing everything. But
Speaker 1: he comes back with a feathery jump shot there. The
Speaker 1: Sixers would add two more points and they win the
Speaker 1: game one twenty three to one fourteen. So they're now
Speaker 1: forty four and twenty five, a high watermark for them
Speaker 1: in terms of their record, nineteen games over five hundred.
Speaker 1: They've won three games in a row. They're twenty eight
Speaker 1: and nine at home for the Kings, their third straight loss.
Speaker 1: They had a tough game lost in last night in
Speaker 1: Boston where they led big but let it slip away.
Speaker 1: Now they're thirty three and thirty five, and it was
Speaker 1: a one one season series between the Sixers and the
Speaker 1: king So now the Sixers go on the road. They'll
Speaker 1: take on Milwaukee on Sunday live at the five SERF
Speaker 1: format three to thirty. The game will be broadcast on
Speaker 1: six ABC locally and we'll have the call right here
Speaker 1: on the radio, and then the Sixers will go out
Speaker 1: to Charlotte and finish up the season series with the
Speaker 1: Hornets Tuesday at seven, and then they come back on
Speaker 1: Wednesday and take on Boston in the fourth and final
Speaker 1: match up with the Seas on the ear and then
Speaker 1: it's right back out onto the road in Milwaukee tonight.
Speaker 1: They've trailed the entire game. They're within seven though in
Speaker 1: the third quarter. They're in Miami, and again the Bucks
Speaker 1: have been the top seed in the Eastern Conference all
Speaker 1: season long. The Sixers with the Wind go back into
Speaker 1: a tie with Indiana, butt because they hold the tiebreaker,
Speaker 1: they're now the third seed for now in the East.
