WEBVTT - The BroadCast: 2/25/18- Rewind vs. Wizards

0:00:00.720 --> 0:00:04.320
<v Speaker 1>This is the Philadelphia Yes seventy Sixers postgame show. If

0:00:05.000 --> 0:00:07.840
<v Speaker 1>I can look about about Broachtree Stars, is gonna turn

0:00:07.880 --> 0:00:11.360
<v Speaker 1>to get it off Mattie Rolls and the Sixers postgame

0:00:11.400 --> 0:00:18.959
<v Speaker 1>show right now on ninety seven five. The panetic tough

0:00:18.960 --> 0:00:21.599
<v Speaker 1>spot for the seventy Sixers on the second out of

0:00:21.640 --> 0:00:24.040
<v Speaker 1>a back to back on a Sunday night, tough outcome

0:00:24.040 --> 0:00:26.239
<v Speaker 1>a one O nine ninety four loss on the road

0:00:26.239 --> 0:00:29.760
<v Speaker 1>at Capitol One Arena to the Washington Wizards. Brian Seltzer

0:00:29.800 --> 0:00:33.280
<v Speaker 1>from Sixers dot Com, welcoming you into our postgame coverage. Yeah,

0:00:33.280 --> 0:00:35.600
<v Speaker 1>there was no doubt about it. There was a palpable

0:00:35.680 --> 0:00:39.720
<v Speaker 1>heightened sense of importance surrounding this one tonight, the seventy

0:00:39.760 --> 0:00:43.280
<v Speaker 1>Sixers taking the floor with an opportunity to tie themselves

0:00:43.280 --> 0:00:46.120
<v Speaker 1>with Washington in the standings. The Wizards began the day

0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:49.040
<v Speaker 1>as the fourth place team in the Eastern Conference. End

0:00:49.040 --> 0:00:51.960
<v Speaker 1>of course, top four teams in each conference get home

0:00:52.040 --> 0:00:54.280
<v Speaker 1>court advantage for the playoffs. That's a goal that Joel

0:00:54.320 --> 0:00:58.360
<v Speaker 1>Embiid has talked about increasingly in recent weeks. Sixers. It

0:00:58.400 --> 0:01:00.840
<v Speaker 1>was competitive through a quarter. They trailed by just two

0:01:00.960 --> 0:01:04.120
<v Speaker 1>thirty to twenty eight but then a really important tone

0:01:04.120 --> 0:01:08.160
<v Speaker 1>setting eleven to two run set by Washington to begin

0:01:08.200 --> 0:01:11.679
<v Speaker 1>the second quarter put them in motion. Kelly oubre Outo

0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:14.759
<v Speaker 1>Porter were in the mix of things at that point

0:01:14.760 --> 0:01:17.200
<v Speaker 1>in the game, and also during a nineteen to five

0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:19.760
<v Speaker 1>run to end the first half, and that set up

0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:22.960
<v Speaker 1>the Wizards to really take control. The Sixers a couple

0:01:23.040 --> 0:01:25.720
<v Speaker 1>times midway through the fourth quarter got the deficit back

0:01:25.760 --> 0:01:29.199
<v Speaker 1>down to single digits, but then after it was a

0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:33.039
<v Speaker 1>one hundred ninety two game, seven straight points from the

0:01:33.040 --> 0:01:36.440
<v Speaker 1>Wizards gave them control back of the scoreboard and they

0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:38.160
<v Speaker 1>would not let it up for the rest of the night.

0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:41.839
<v Speaker 1>One ninety four the Sixers fall in DC twenty five points,

0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:44.840
<v Speaker 1>ten rebounds and four assists for Joel and bad Ben

0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:48.920
<v Speaker 1>Simmons with sixteen points, eight boards and eight assists. Got

0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:51.320
<v Speaker 1>to give a lot of credit to Dario Charch thirteen

0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:54.320
<v Speaker 1>points on the night, battled through not having his shot,

0:01:54.480 --> 0:01:58.120
<v Speaker 1>was tenacious on the glass, particularly in terms of offensive

0:01:58.160 --> 0:02:01.080
<v Speaker 1>rebounding seven of his eight boards on the offensive end.

0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:03.840
<v Speaker 1>He gave as much as he could, but much like

0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:06.880
<v Speaker 1>the rest of his teammates, they fought, They battled not

0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:10.440
<v Speaker 1>quite enough against a very quality hot shooting opponent in

0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:12.280
<v Speaker 1>the Wizards to night, which went fifty four and a

0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:14.480
<v Speaker 1>half percent from the field, twelve of twenty five from

0:02:14.520 --> 0:02:16.800
<v Speaker 1>outside the arc, while the Sixers were held to just

0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:20.760
<v Speaker 1>thirty six percent, shooting on nine of thirty three from beyond.

0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:23.680
<v Speaker 1>Tom McGinnis had the call of this one tonight, one

0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:26.000
<v Speaker 1>nine ninety four the final in favor of the Wizards.

0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:28.440
<v Speaker 1>Tim you said it second night of him back to

0:02:28.520 --> 0:02:32.080
<v Speaker 1>back against a really good, focused team that had rest yesterday.

0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:33.880
<v Speaker 1>A tough spot for the Sixers to be in and

0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:36.919
<v Speaker 1>not a whole lot of margin for air, no, without question,

0:02:36.960 --> 0:02:39.440
<v Speaker 1>and they made shots. They have shotmakers, let's be honest.

0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:41.880
<v Speaker 1>Spiel is one of the great shooters in the NBA.

0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:45.880
<v Speaker 1>Auto porters really been over the last couple three years.

0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:48.440
<v Speaker 1>He got a big contract. As a result, he's been

0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:51.239
<v Speaker 1>amongst the top three point shooters. He led that category

0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:54.400
<v Speaker 1>for part of this season. He was terrific tonight. Ubre

0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:57.520
<v Speaker 1>has really come on and they moved that ball around.

0:02:57.560 --> 0:03:00.720
<v Speaker 1>They have a modicum of toughness as well, in terms

0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:03.480
<v Speaker 1>of the way Morris plays with an edge. Not a

0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:06.000
<v Speaker 1>big fan, but that's how he plays and it certainly

0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:09.240
<v Speaker 1>adds to their aura. And physicality, and Gord Todd plays

0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:11.480
<v Speaker 1>a similar way. I thought Gord Todd played and beat

0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:13.560
<v Speaker 1>a little differently tonight. I thought he got into him

0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:16.320
<v Speaker 1>a little bit. Joelle still had big numbers, a double double,

0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:19.120
<v Speaker 1>but it was by no means easy, and that second

0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:21.360
<v Speaker 1>quarter was a difference. As Brett Brown said, it was

0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:24.240
<v Speaker 1>set up to be a difficult game for the Sixers.

0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:26.399
<v Speaker 1>I say set up, and that the Sixers played last

0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:29.520
<v Speaker 1>night and Washington played a back to back Thursday and Friday,

0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:32.639
<v Speaker 1>say off yesterday, and they were the better team here tonight.

0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:35.720
<v Speaker 1>They split the season series, and even though the Sixers

0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:37.840
<v Speaker 1>showed some life and as you say, with Dario just

0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:42.160
<v Speaker 1>battling so hard and was so much effort, but Washington

0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:44.320
<v Speaker 1>won the game. They split the season series, and they're

0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:46.920
<v Speaker 1>now you know, thirty five and what it's thirty five

0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:49.960
<v Speaker 1>and twenty five for them home team winning each of

0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:53.600
<v Speaker 1>the four matchups in the season long series for the Sixers. Time.

0:03:53.680 --> 0:03:55.640
<v Speaker 1>One thing to take away from this weekend and perhaps

0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:58.200
<v Speaker 1>something for Brett Brown and the coaching staff to mull

0:03:58.240 --> 0:04:00.720
<v Speaker 1>over going ahead along this road trip and the rest

0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:03.680
<v Speaker 1>of the way. Rashawn Holmes and to no surprise given

0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:05.760
<v Speaker 1>minutes and he played really well. He gave them a

0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:08.240
<v Speaker 1>nice spark, and it seemed like when he was paired

0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:11.640
<v Speaker 1>with Joel Embid that did give the Sixers and needed boost.

0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:14.640
<v Speaker 1>They showed some life in the closing moments. Just tough

0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:17.920
<v Speaker 1>catching up, no doubt about it. I mean, Rashawn played

0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:20.600
<v Speaker 1>well last night, and tonight you went back to him

0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:23.560
<v Speaker 1>because you know they needed some juice. You know, part

0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:26.760
<v Speaker 1>of a coach's challenge, particularly as you tighten up the rotation,

0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:30.240
<v Speaker 1>is keeping those back line players, the eighth, ninth, tenth,

0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:34.560
<v Speaker 1>eleventh players active, engaged and getting the goat. I think

0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:36.360
<v Speaker 1>that's a little bit what you saw last night where

0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:38.839
<v Speaker 1>a Mirror got the night off and Rashawn played it

0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:41.159
<v Speaker 1>played well. I mean he only had four points, but

0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:43.760
<v Speaker 1>again he had I believe four assists and eight rebounds.

0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:46.560
<v Speaker 1>Speaking of Holmes, I thought a Mirror played well tonight,

0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:50.599
<v Speaker 1>so Holmes helped out he certainly there was the one

0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:53.200
<v Speaker 1>play where they loaded over toward and beat and Simmons

0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:55.520
<v Speaker 1>instead of throwing into Joel, through it to Rashawn and

0:04:55.560 --> 0:04:58.400
<v Speaker 1>Holmes got an open dunk. So there's definitely gonna be

0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:00.800
<v Speaker 1>some openings there when it Beat is out there, but

0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:04.200
<v Speaker 1>overall just not enough energy for the Sixers. And it

0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:07.120
<v Speaker 1>goes two ways. It's not just scoring where they struggle

0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:10.640
<v Speaker 1>to get baskets, but you need that repetitive second effort

0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:14.479
<v Speaker 1>oftentimes on defense and to be able to control the glass.

0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:17.400
<v Speaker 1>And it just it wasn't there. Washington, as I said,

0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:19.960
<v Speaker 1>was the better team. They've played well here at home.

0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:23.279
<v Speaker 1>It's remarkable how well they've played without Wall, and you

0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:25.920
<v Speaker 1>can only imagine. I think everybody reads into it, you know, like, oh,

0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:28.440
<v Speaker 1>John Wall, they don't need well. I don't think that's

0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:30.840
<v Speaker 1>true at all. I think they're going to come back

0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:33.839
<v Speaker 1>a better basketball team with when healthy, one of the

0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:36.159
<v Speaker 1>best guards in basketball and Wall and he can only

0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:38.440
<v Speaker 1>make their team better. And you know he's one of

0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:41.840
<v Speaker 1>those players too. He's a finisher, a closer, and that's

0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:43.760
<v Speaker 1>what you need to win these tight games, and that's

0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:46.240
<v Speaker 1>what you need to win in the postseason. It's a

0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:49.320
<v Speaker 1>team in Washington. They've made the playoffs, but they've never

0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:51.560
<v Speaker 1>gotten out in the second round. They're trying to crack

0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:55.000
<v Speaker 1>through there. They're amongst these top four teams. They've got

0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:57.880
<v Speaker 1>a difficult road, no doubt about it. For the Sixers.

0:05:57.880 --> 0:06:00.520
<v Speaker 1>You want to re energize, go down to Miami and

0:06:00.680 --> 0:06:02.880
<v Speaker 1>try to recoup that energy as you get ready for

0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:06.000
<v Speaker 1>a big game with Miami on Tuesday, and then obviously

0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:09.320
<v Speaker 1>Thursday with the road game at Cleveland. But a great

0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:12.840
<v Speaker 1>run by the Sixers, seven wins in a row, five

0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:15.400
<v Speaker 1>of them of course at home, and now back out

0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:17.600
<v Speaker 1>here on the road with a loss, and then two

0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:19.880
<v Speaker 1>big games. As I said before coming home for Friday's

0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:22.200
<v Speaker 1>game with Charlotte, you said, on the heels of this

0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:25.239
<v Speaker 1>one nine ninety four defeat, that now becomes the challenge

0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:28.039
<v Speaker 1>a young team showing that it could string together sustain

0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:31.360
<v Speaker 1>wins over the last three weeks, an opportunity to potentially

0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:33.440
<v Speaker 1>get it back. But it's going to be interesting. This

0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:36.200
<v Speaker 1>Miami team has won, the Sixers have beaten twice so far.

0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:38.679
<v Speaker 1>They're going to play them on Tuesday and then about

0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:41.320
<v Speaker 1>a week after that, and of course I'm sure they're

0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:44.120
<v Speaker 1>not forgetting that game right before the All Star break

0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:47.240
<v Speaker 1>with the Sixers erased the twenty four point deficit and

0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:50.040
<v Speaker 1>roots of the win, no doubt about it. And that

0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:52.800
<v Speaker 1>was a key game for the Sixers. They won for

0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:57.320
<v Speaker 1>the third time without Joel Embiid, and again I hate

0:06:57.320 --> 0:07:00.520
<v Speaker 1>to be repetitive, but it is important. And again, you

0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:02.960
<v Speaker 1>know you're battling with these teams. Now, Miami's right behind

0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:05.400
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers in the East, and when you play them

0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:08.919
<v Speaker 1>head to head and a whole game swings in the balance,

0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:12.760
<v Speaker 1>win or lose, it's huge. You know, I'm saying that's

0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:16.720
<v Speaker 1>that's the case here. Again, the Sixers had that opportunity tonight. Again,

0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:21.560
<v Speaker 1>Milwaukee loss the Detroit Pistons. They're falling further and further

0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:25.760
<v Speaker 1>out of the playoff picture. And then you know the

0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:28.200
<v Speaker 1>Sixers had a chance, but you know that that's kind

0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:30.560
<v Speaker 1>of a non factor when you don't have the energy

0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:32.200
<v Speaker 1>to compete. It's not like they lost of the last

0:07:32.200 --> 0:07:35.120
<v Speaker 1>second on a shot here. But again, the point is

0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:39.080
<v Speaker 1>that Miami game stacks up that way as well. Another,

0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:42.600
<v Speaker 1>as you say, two more games with Miami in Florida

0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:45.680
<v Speaker 1>and it starts Tuesday. Tom enjoyed the trip down there.

0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:48.720
<v Speaker 1>Talk to you on Tuesday. Good night, Brian. Thanks seventy

0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:51.720
<v Speaker 1>Sixers knocked off by the Wizards to Night one ninety four.

0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:55.240
<v Speaker 1>The seven game winning streak has come to an end. Sixers.

0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:58.880
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't for lack of effort tonight, shots just did

0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:01.600
<v Speaker 1>not go down health to thirty six percent from the field.

0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:04.240
<v Speaker 1>The Wizards, meanwhile, quite the opposite, fifty four and a

0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:07.200
<v Speaker 1>half percent from the floor shooting and twelve of twenty

0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:10.239
<v Speaker 1>five from outside the arc. The likes of Kelly Oubrey

0:08:10.320 --> 0:08:13.360
<v Speaker 1>with nineteen points, out of Porter with twenty three and

0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:16.720
<v Speaker 1>Bradley Beale with twenty four collectively too much for the

0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:19.840
<v Speaker 1>seventy Sixers down in DC tonight. Well, here's some of

0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:22.760
<v Speaker 1>Tom McGinnis's highlight calls on the other side, as our

0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:27.920
<v Speaker 1>postgame coverage continues here on the Sixers Radio Network. Seventy

0:08:27.920 --> 0:08:31.040
<v Speaker 1>Sixers completing their ninth back to back set of the season,

0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:33.960
<v Speaker 1>doing so against an Eastern Conference rival that sat one

0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:36.760
<v Speaker 1>game in front of them in the Eastern Conference standings.

0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:40.079
<v Speaker 1>Heading into tonight's key game, Brian seltzerwit you from Sixers

0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:43.000

0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:45.280
<v Speaker 1>tape and the game called by the one and only

0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:49.880
<v Speaker 1>Tom McGinnis. Within seconds, seventy Sixers off to an encouraging start.

0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:53.199
<v Speaker 1>Joel and Beat tips it and Ben Simmons gets the ball.

0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:58.360
<v Speaker 1>These Sixers with Simmons, Covington Reddick sharedge Andy b here's

0:08:58.360 --> 0:09:00.319
<v Speaker 1>a lot Ben's white up and he kept it and

0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:03.600
<v Speaker 1>guides it in. There was great energy from the Sixers

0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:06.720
<v Speaker 1>at the outset of tonight's game is that highlight demonstrated.

0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:09.680
<v Speaker 1>Sixers jumped out to a ten six advantage, but after

0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:12.920
<v Speaker 1>that eight straight points from the Wizards that gave them

0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:16.480
<v Speaker 1>some controls. Sixers would charge back into it quarter of

0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:18.599
<v Speaker 1>the late and Cup tips it away. Joel with it

0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:21.600
<v Speaker 1>Sixers with numbers, Ben handles it, Simmons back to Joel

0:09:21.640 --> 0:09:24.720
<v Speaker 1>and it be slams it in and a foul on Washington.

0:09:25.240 --> 0:09:27.439
<v Speaker 1>He would hit the free throw one point game sixteen

0:09:27.520 --> 0:09:30.560
<v Speaker 1>fifteen in favor of the Wizards. Very competitive throughout the

0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:33.520
<v Speaker 1>finish of the first quarter, which ended with the Wizards

0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:36.880
<v Speaker 1>leading by two thirty two twenty eight, but then first

0:09:37.000 --> 0:09:39.319
<v Speaker 1>key run of the game for Washington. Eleven out of

0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:41.920
<v Speaker 1>the next thirteen points went to them. They went up

0:09:41.960 --> 0:09:44.920
<v Speaker 1>forty one to thirty Sixers in ketchup Mo Dario Charge

0:09:45.200 --> 0:09:48.720
<v Speaker 1>helping the cause. Dario steals the rebounded Oh he missed it,

0:09:49.120 --> 0:09:51.880
<v Speaker 1>He goes back up and scores it. So Simmons missed

0:09:51.880 --> 0:09:56.200
<v Speaker 1>both free throws, but Charge jumped around beyond Mehemi got

0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:59.120
<v Speaker 1>the rebound. Missed the first put back and then scores it,

0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:02.280
<v Speaker 1>trim the Sixers deficit to forty eight to forty two.

0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:05.160
<v Speaker 1>But from there the Wizards, behind Kelly ubre Otto Porter

0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:09.200
<v Speaker 1>and Bradley Beale, sprinkled in, scoring up a nineteen to

0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:11.640
<v Speaker 1>five run to end the first half, and they took

0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:15.120
<v Speaker 1>a sixty seven forty eight lead into the breaks, second

0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:17.920
<v Speaker 1>most totals allowed in the first half this season by

0:10:18.120 --> 0:10:21.360
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers. Sixers battling uphill throughout most of the third quarter,

0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:24.480
<v Speaker 1>but some signs of life late in the period. Eight

0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:26.880
<v Speaker 1>seconds ago would beat with the rebounded, beat advances at

0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:30.120
<v Speaker 1>the Simmons, Simmons back to Joel three ball by a

0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:33.040
<v Speaker 1>beat is up and in one second to go at

0:10:33.120 --> 0:10:36.800
<v Speaker 1>Joel and beat cuts at the fourteen, and that'll do

0:10:36.840 --> 0:10:40.160
<v Speaker 1>it for three eighty seven seventy three the tally going

0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:43.000
<v Speaker 1>into the fourth. The Sixers were able to build on that,

0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:46.160
<v Speaker 1>and they kept coming. They got closer and closer and closer,

0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:49.800
<v Speaker 1>and Dario Charch with some timely outside shooting, got the

0:10:49.960 --> 0:10:53.440
<v Speaker 1>margin back down to single digits, back out top coming

0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:56.120
<v Speaker 1>at four to shoot Ben to Joel, No Simmons off

0:10:56.120 --> 0:10:57.839
<v Speaker 1>the drive, He's got a shoot it over to Dario

0:10:57.920 --> 0:11:00.959
<v Speaker 1>shot in effort three Oh, let's go, but my Tony

0:11:00.960 --> 0:11:03.440
<v Speaker 1>Brown was waving it off. The Shark just put it in.

0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:07.280
<v Speaker 1>The Sixers get back to back threes, both from Sharks

0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:10.480
<v Speaker 1>that made it ninety seven to eighty nine. Morris would

0:11:10.480 --> 0:11:12.360
<v Speaker 1>score to make it one hundred to eighty nine, but

0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:15.880
<v Speaker 1>Joellenbad got three the old fashioned way bead with four

0:11:15.920 --> 0:11:19.000
<v Speaker 1>turnovers in the game, don lolep Power move on where

0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:22.599
<v Speaker 1>Top puts it up in d a foul Joel and

0:11:22.720 --> 0:11:26.440
<v Speaker 1>Bad driving it from the upside. One hundred ninety two

0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:29.160
<v Speaker 1>was the score after the free throw with just under

0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:31.960
<v Speaker 1>four minutes left in regulation, but Washington would score the

0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:35.400
<v Speaker 1>next seven points and that would prove to be the difference,

0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:38.120
<v Speaker 1>as the Wizards end up taking this one by the

0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:41.920
<v Speaker 1>final of one o nine to one oh four. Final

0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:44.240
<v Speaker 1>notes from the final statue. We talked about this with

0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:47.520
<v Speaker 1>Tom McGuinness. He referenced it throughout the game. Washington really

0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:49.880
<v Speaker 1>with the hot hand tonight fifty four and a half

0:11:49.920 --> 0:11:52.120
<v Speaker 1>percent from the field of seventy six ers just thirty

0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:55.320
<v Speaker 1>six percent Wizards twelve of twenty five from outside the arc.

0:11:55.360 --> 0:11:58.400
<v Speaker 1>The Sixers hit nine of their thirty three three point

0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:01.400
<v Speaker 1>attempts what kept the Sixers hanging around. They were pretty

0:12:01.400 --> 0:12:04.000
<v Speaker 1>prolific from the free throw line, where they outscored the

0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:07.200
<v Speaker 1>Wizards by a dozen. Washington with the upper hand on

0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:11.960
<v Speaker 1>the glass plus five. Sixers also converting nineteen Washington turnovers

0:12:11.960 --> 0:12:14.240
<v Speaker 1>into thirty one points, one of their better numbers in

0:12:14.280 --> 0:12:17.200
<v Speaker 1>that category of the season. But still, the Wizards could

0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:19.520
<v Speaker 1>not be slowed down enough as they went on to

0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:23.280
<v Speaker 1>take the four game series finale. Beale had twenty four

0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:25.640
<v Speaker 1>to lead the Wizards, twenty three from Otto Porter and

0:12:25.760 --> 0:12:28.600
<v Speaker 1>nineteen from Kelly Ubrey off the bench. From the Sixers

0:12:28.600 --> 0:12:31.400
<v Speaker 1>side of things, Joel and B twenty five points, ten rebounds.

0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:35.280
<v Speaker 1>This is his twenty third twenty and ten game of

0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:37.800
<v Speaker 1>the season. He's played forty seven games and all, so

0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:41.000
<v Speaker 1>that's pretty amazing that nearly half the games he's played

0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:44.640
<v Speaker 1>this season he's had at least twenty and ten. Awesome

0:12:44.679 --> 0:12:48.160
<v Speaker 1>stuff from the All Star Ben Simmons sixteen points, eight

0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:51.160
<v Speaker 1>rebounds and eight assists Ago with one block shot and

0:12:51.200 --> 0:12:54.439
<v Speaker 1>a steel thirteen for Dario scharch Yeah, he was one

0:12:54.440 --> 0:12:57.400
<v Speaker 1>of several Sixers who was trying to get his shot

0:12:57.480 --> 0:12:59.800
<v Speaker 1>to go down. Five of seventeen from the field two

0:12:59.800 --> 0:13:03.240
<v Speaker 1>three pointers, eight rebounds, three assists, But really thought Dario

0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:07.400
<v Speaker 1>acquit himself nicely with his hustle and fight tonight when

0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:09.920
<v Speaker 1>he was out there for the Sixers, ten for Marco

0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:13.679
<v Speaker 1>Bellinelli off the bench, and Rashaun Holmes played all of

0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:16.280
<v Speaker 1>his eleven minutes forty seconds in the second half. He

0:13:16.360 --> 0:13:19.240
<v Speaker 1>was paired at times with Joel Embiid. By far had

0:13:19.240 --> 0:13:21.559
<v Speaker 1>the best plus minus rating of any six or plus

0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:24.360
<v Speaker 1>twelve in the game seven points, two to four from

0:13:24.360 --> 0:13:28.160
<v Speaker 1>the field, two rebounds, but bringing, most importantly as he

0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:33.120
<v Speaker 1>did on Saturday against the Atlanto Magic, some welcomed intangibles.

0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:36.559
<v Speaker 1>With the loss, the seventy sixers season long seven game

0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:39.240
<v Speaker 1>winning streak ends. They're now thirty two and twenty six.

0:13:39.600 --> 0:13:42.400
<v Speaker 1>The Wizards improved to thirty five and twenty five. So

0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:44.680
<v Speaker 1>the Eastern Conference standings we're gonna do some quick math

0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:49.120
<v Speaker 1>now looks as follows. Wizards a half game in front

0:13:49.160 --> 0:13:52.440
<v Speaker 1>of the Pacers, which did not play today, for fourth

0:13:52.440 --> 0:13:55.880
<v Speaker 1>place at thirty five and twenty five, the Indiana in

0:13:56.040 --> 0:13:59.240
<v Speaker 1>fifth at thirty four and twenty five. On the season,

0:13:59.679 --> 0:14:04.000
<v Speaker 1>these seventy Sixers are a half game behind the Milwaukee Bucks.

0:14:04.000 --> 0:14:06.600
<v Speaker 1>Now the Bucks in sixth place with the record of

0:14:06.640 --> 0:14:09.559
<v Speaker 1>thirty three and twenty six. The Sixers are thirty two

0:14:09.559 --> 0:14:12.280
<v Speaker 1>and twenty six, and they are now two games in

0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:14.920
<v Speaker 1>front of the Miami Heat. The Heat are an eighth

0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:17.320
<v Speaker 1>and the Sixers and the Heats, what do you know?

0:14:17.480 --> 0:14:21.040
<v Speaker 1>Face off seven thirty on Tuesday night from American Airlines

<v Speaker 1>look to win their four game season series, playing game

0:14:31.760 --> 0:14:35.000
<v Speaker 1>number three against the Heat on the year. Big thanks
