WEBVTT - Rewind vs. Memphis Grizzlies - 2/7/20

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:03.360
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to rewind, they'll listen back on press conferences,

0:00:03.480 --> 0:00:08.520
<v Speaker 1>highlights and analysis from the seventy sixers previous game. It

0:00:08.600 --> 0:00:12.440
<v Speaker 1>is nice to be talking about a win following a

0:00:12.480 --> 0:00:15.400
<v Speaker 1>seventy Sixers game. That is for sure, one nineteen one

0:00:15.440 --> 0:00:19.040
<v Speaker 1>oh seven to seventy Sixers route the Memphis Grizzlies, a

0:00:19.120 --> 0:00:21.160
<v Speaker 1>game in which the Sixers led by as many as

0:00:21.239 --> 0:00:24.319
<v Speaker 1>thirty three points as the seventy Sixers snap out of

0:00:24.320 --> 0:00:28.080
<v Speaker 1>their four game losing streak in dominant fashion. This is

0:00:28.120 --> 0:00:31.640
<v Speaker 1>precisely what the seventy Sixers needed tonight. You could feel

0:00:31.640 --> 0:00:34.600
<v Speaker 1>it from the outset and perhaps not so surprisingly that

0:00:34.720 --> 0:00:37.720
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers back at home, they had a different type

0:00:37.720 --> 0:00:41.559
<v Speaker 1>of energy about them, a different type of demeanor about them.

0:00:41.640 --> 0:00:44.720
<v Speaker 1>That's not to excuse the struggles of this team on

0:00:44.800 --> 0:00:48.080
<v Speaker 1>the road, you know what. The circumstances called for a

0:00:48.200 --> 0:00:50.919
<v Speaker 1>victory in the most dire of ways, and it just

0:00:50.960 --> 0:00:53.720
<v Speaker 1>so happened that a three game homestands started tonight and

0:00:53.800 --> 0:00:57.440
<v Speaker 1>the seventy Sixers took advantage against yes, a young Memphis

0:00:57.440 --> 0:01:00.640
<v Speaker 1>Grizzlies team, but also a Grizzlies team that had been

0:01:00.680 --> 0:01:04.080
<v Speaker 1>great as of late. They were thirteen and three coming

0:01:04.120 --> 0:01:07.959
<v Speaker 1>into Tonight's game. Over the last sixteen, Ben Simmons I

0:01:07.959 --> 0:01:11.160
<v Speaker 1>thought was a huge tone setter tonight twenty two points,

0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:14.240
<v Speaker 1>ten assists, nine to fourteen from the field, hit four

0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:17.520
<v Speaker 1>of his five free throws. Equally, if not more important,

0:01:17.920 --> 0:01:20.560
<v Speaker 1>was the defense he helped provide on Rookie of the

0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:24.520
<v Speaker 1>Year front runner Jean Morant. Morant held to fifteen points,

0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:26.920
<v Speaker 1>four of twelve from the field, seven of nine from

0:01:26.920 --> 0:01:29.920
<v Speaker 1>the free throw line. So yeah, Morant got to the line,

0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:32.480
<v Speaker 1>but John Morant didn't do much in terms of his shooting.

0:01:32.760 --> 0:01:35.840
<v Speaker 1>Ben Simmons helping apply some of the pressure The Sixers

0:01:35.880 --> 0:01:40.600
<v Speaker 1>defensively overall really effective, holding the Grizzlies to under forty

0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:43.680
<v Speaker 1>one percent, shooting just five of twenty one from three

0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:46.240
<v Speaker 1>point territory. And on the opposite end of the floor,

0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:50.840
<v Speaker 1>this Sixer's offense, which in its last four road games

0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:54.640
<v Speaker 1>in particular on this previous trip, really had problems with

0:01:54.960 --> 0:02:01.360
<v Speaker 1>spacing the floor creating some room to operate for guys,

0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:04.280
<v Speaker 1>and the roster who liked to get down loan inside

0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:08.080
<v Speaker 1>also struggled to hit their three pointers consistently. Tonight, it

0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:12.160
<v Speaker 1>was an entirely different deal. The Sixers collectively converted fifty

0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:14.440
<v Speaker 1>three and a half percent of their field goal opportunities

0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:17.800
<v Speaker 1>fourteen of twenty five. That's better than fifty five percent

0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:21.440
<v Speaker 1>from outside the arc. That a major factor in tonight's

0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:25.320
<v Speaker 1>one nineteen one oh seven win. Also encouraging. In addition

0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:28.080
<v Speaker 1>to the victory, Joel Embiid he did not play in

0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:30.359
<v Speaker 1>the second half. That, of course, was not encouraging. But

0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:33.200
<v Speaker 1>the encouraging part was that the Sixers figured out how

0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:35.640
<v Speaker 1>to adapt with Adam. They went back to that up tempo,

0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:38.720
<v Speaker 1>speedy style of play. They were able to get out

0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:42.120
<v Speaker 1>and run space the floor for their perimeter shooters, and

0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:45.960
<v Speaker 1>those shooters, namely fur Con Quorkmis, they were there to capitalize.

0:02:46.000 --> 0:02:48.960
<v Speaker 1>Quorkmis with thirty four points, as you heard if you

0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:52.320
<v Speaker 1>were following along, obviously a career high for the Turk

0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:55.880
<v Speaker 1>thirteen of seventeen. Overall, it's amazing that he even missed

0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:59.680
<v Speaker 1>four shots seven of nine from the perimeter, Furkon becoming

0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:03.040
<v Speaker 1>just the thirteenth player in franchise history to hit seven

0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:07.120
<v Speaker 1>three pointers in the game and the second youngest of

0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:09.639
<v Speaker 1>all time to get at least seven threes. Now we're

0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:11.920
<v Speaker 1>gonna go to Brett Brown post game I mean, I

0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:14.760
<v Speaker 1>think it's human nature. Sadly, I hear your question, and

0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:18.320
<v Speaker 1>it's the great challenge coaches go through. You know, if

0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:23.799
<v Speaker 1>if teams always let their offense dictate their defense, it

0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:26.200
<v Speaker 1>means they're really not that good of a team and

0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:28.080
<v Speaker 1>they're not going to be playing that long. And that

0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:32.920
<v Speaker 1>is the challenge, and the connection is real. It's a

0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:36.680
<v Speaker 1>human nature thing as i've as I see it, and

0:03:36.960 --> 0:03:39.680
<v Speaker 1>that's the challenge that you have to navigate through. You've

0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:43.320
<v Speaker 1>got to continue to coach. It's easy to play defense

0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:45.640
<v Speaker 1>when you're happy in scorn and people get touches. It's

0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:48.720
<v Speaker 1>harder when you got to grind things out. But grinding

0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:53.160
<v Speaker 1>things out equals May and June, you know, late April,

0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:58.400
<v Speaker 1>and that that's the mission that I am on as

0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:02.400
<v Speaker 1>it relates to stuff going on on the road with us.

0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:08.160
<v Speaker 1>I liked his defense, like we're all gonna remember him shooting,

0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:10.680
<v Speaker 1>and it's true and he hit some timely shots. But

0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:12.839
<v Speaker 1>I think that when when you take a deep dive

0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:15.360
<v Speaker 1>into the tapes as we have, and you know, you

0:04:15.440 --> 0:04:18.359
<v Speaker 1>come back from the road playing against East Royalty in

0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:20.680
<v Speaker 1>the three teams the last three games that we saw

0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:23.520
<v Speaker 1>people that used to pick on him, don't pick on

0:04:23.600 --> 0:04:26.159
<v Speaker 1>him as much, And people that like put him in

0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:28.320
<v Speaker 1>pick and rolls don't do it as much. Or trying

0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:31.799
<v Speaker 1>to pick on him and pin down walk away wide

0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:35.039
<v Speaker 1>type angles, coming off screens, off ball stuff, don't pick

0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:37.640
<v Speaker 1>on him as much. And when they try to, I

0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:40.359
<v Speaker 1>think that he slid on leveling people, moving his feet,

0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:44.080
<v Speaker 1>showing his hands, chesting all that, you know, defensive scheme

0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:50.520
<v Speaker 1>technique stuff. Of course, his scoring was needed. I thought

0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:53.520
<v Speaker 1>that his teammates Ben especially did a good job finding him,

0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:57.880
<v Speaker 1>But I thought holistically he was pretty good. Tonight, seventy

0:04:57.880 --> 0:05:00.640
<v Speaker 1>six Ers head coach Brett Brown after ten nights victory

0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:04.320
<v Speaker 1>one nineteen one oh seven over the Memphis Grizzlies. Yeah,

0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:08.160
<v Speaker 1>you know what, at the beginning of the night, who

0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:10.120
<v Speaker 1>knew what we were going to see from the Sixers

0:05:10.160 --> 0:05:12.559
<v Speaker 1>based on how things had gone over the previous four games.

0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:15.479
<v Speaker 1>Brett Brown said he wanted to see a maniacal level

0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:18.720
<v Speaker 1>of competitiveness from his team, and that's what they came

0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:21.479
<v Speaker 1>out and gave him. And the fan base, which you

0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:23.880
<v Speaker 1>might be able to hear in the background cheering loudly,

0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:28.279
<v Speaker 1>there's maybe about five to, you know, six or seven

0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:32.120
<v Speaker 1>or so dozen fans seated just below us, right off

0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:36.280
<v Speaker 1>the court. Those are the proud card carrying members of

0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:41.600
<v Speaker 1>the Mike Scott Hive out in full force, and their guy,

0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:43.880
<v Speaker 1>Mike just made his way out of the seventy sixers

0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:46.599
<v Speaker 1>locker room to hang with the hive for a little bits.

0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:49.560
<v Speaker 1>Mike Scott tonight knocking down a three point. He also

0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:51.960
<v Speaker 1>had five rebounds and twelve minutes off the bench for

0:05:52.000 --> 0:05:55.120
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers in their twelve point win over Memphis. The

0:05:55.200 --> 0:05:57.480
<v Speaker 1>Sixers led by as many as thirty three points in

0:05:57.480 --> 0:05:59.760
<v Speaker 1>this one. Fur Con Corkma is a new career hive

0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:03.520
<v Speaker 1>thirty four, twenty two points, ten assists for Ben Simmons,

0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:07.320
<v Speaker 1>twenty one point, six rebounds, and five assists for Tobias Harris.

0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:10.560
<v Speaker 1>As Simmons and the Sixers contained John Morant for four

0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:15.200
<v Speaker 1>for twelve shooting and fifteen points overall. A most welcomed drubbing,

0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:18.760
<v Speaker 1>Tom McGinnis of this Memphis Grizzlies team, wouldn't you say? Yeah?

0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:21.200
<v Speaker 1>And like I said, the Sixers kind of needed somebody

0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:23.560
<v Speaker 1>to step up, and it was obviously furkn with a

0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:26.960
<v Speaker 1>career night just because it was a really late night

0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:29.800
<v Speaker 1>last night. And you needed a jolt, and they got

0:06:29.839 --> 0:06:32.480
<v Speaker 1>it from Quark Mos and what a night shooting the ball.

0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:36.120
<v Speaker 1>Just incredible, And you know he has shown that he

0:06:36.320 --> 0:06:38.040
<v Speaker 1>and that That's what I was going to say, exactly

0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:40.680
<v Speaker 1>what Brett Brown was talking about, because you know, with

0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:44.200
<v Speaker 1>somebody like him, you know, they teams who tended to

0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:47.360
<v Speaker 1>go at him a lot. And obviously if you're if

0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:49.680
<v Speaker 1>you're on an island defensively and can't hold your own,

0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:51.200
<v Speaker 1>you're not going to be able to stay in the game.

0:06:51.640 --> 0:06:54.799
<v Speaker 1>So credit the fir Con. He's gotten stronger, he's gotten better.

0:06:54.839 --> 0:06:59.400
<v Speaker 1>I think, like as Brett Brown was talking about tactically defensively,

0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:02.080
<v Speaker 1>where he's able the guard and the guys he's assigned

0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:03.719
<v Speaker 1>to guard and keep him in front and do so

0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:06.640
<v Speaker 1>without fouling. And that's important because you're not going to

0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:08.600
<v Speaker 1>be able to play twenty five minutes or so if

0:07:08.600 --> 0:07:12.040
<v Speaker 1>you can't stay out there because of your defensive a

0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:15.160
<v Speaker 1>lack of defensive prowess. So he did a great job

0:07:15.200 --> 0:07:17.680
<v Speaker 1>and then Harris had a you know, Tobias, we kind

0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:20.080
<v Speaker 1>of take for granted, twenty points here, twenty points there.

0:07:20.080 --> 0:07:23.160
<v Speaker 1>He's averaging twenty points per game, and Ben was brilliant

0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:25.600
<v Speaker 1>as well. I thought Ben was literally bound and determined

0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:27.880
<v Speaker 1>from the jump to get into the lane, and they

0:07:27.880 --> 0:07:29.920
<v Speaker 1>did a great job on job Moran. I mean, you

0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:32.480
<v Speaker 1>can see the skill set for Morant with the quickness.

0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:35.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean that was blazing speed at times. But I

0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:38.640
<v Speaker 1>thought Matisse and Ben Simmons did a terrific job. And

0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:41.360
<v Speaker 1>you're really he never really got on track here tonight,

0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:44.640
<v Speaker 1>seventy six Ers by twelve over the Memphis Grizzlies one

0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:47.520
<v Speaker 1>nineteen to one oh seven. Six Ers after leading by

0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:51.360
<v Speaker 1>one time through one quarter of play, really clamped down

0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:53.680
<v Speaker 1>in the second quarter, cut down on their turnovers, and

0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:57.920
<v Speaker 1>opened up things more in the third. They played fast,

0:07:58.240 --> 0:08:02.040
<v Speaker 1>up tempo, speedy running down the floor after Joel Embiid

0:08:02.120 --> 0:08:05.400
<v Speaker 1>went out with his next stiffness at halftime, and it

0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:09.040
<v Speaker 1>was encouraging to see the group once again adapt and

0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:12.160
<v Speaker 1>also they were welcoming back a familiar face, but one

0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:15.040
<v Speaker 1>who hadn't seen in parts of seven games. Josh Richardson, Yeah,

0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:17.520
<v Speaker 1>just real quickly to go back and revisit those numbers.

0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:20.800
<v Speaker 1>So eight turnovers in the first quarter and that match

0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:24.200
<v Speaker 1>just season high for any quarter in terms of turns

0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:27.320
<v Speaker 1>for the Sixers. But then they went out and got

0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:31.040
<v Speaker 1>sixteen assists and only turned it two times over in

0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:34.959
<v Speaker 1>the second and the third, and thirty nine points in

0:08:35.000 --> 0:08:37.760
<v Speaker 1>the third set a record for the third quarter so

0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:41.199
<v Speaker 1>far this year. Sixteen made three or field goals in

0:08:41.240 --> 0:08:45.040
<v Speaker 1>that quarter, and that's what created the separation. And you're right,

0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:48.040
<v Speaker 1>Josh Richardson, he played fifteen minutes, and good for him

0:08:48.080 --> 0:08:50.559
<v Speaker 1>to kind of get back in the groove and again

0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:54.400
<v Speaker 1>timely shooting for the Sixers and again, sometimes a knockout punch.

0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:56.679
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes it's in the final two minutes. You know, everyone

0:08:56.720 --> 0:09:00.480
<v Speaker 1>says it's only the last two minutes. Well, tonight it

0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:03.520
<v Speaker 1>was the third quarter, and they created enough separation to

0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:06.360
<v Speaker 1>keep the Grizzlies at bay because you know, Memphis is

0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:08.480
<v Speaker 1>a young team. They're trying to get better. There's more

0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:11.560
<v Speaker 1>at stake here for them than just you know, one

0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:14.520
<v Speaker 1>forty eight minute game. They're trying to improve all the time,

0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:17.080
<v Speaker 1>and they were going to keep playing, and their bench

0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:20.280
<v Speaker 1>actually outplayed their starters tonight. I thought Tyas Jones was

0:09:20.320 --> 0:09:23.040
<v Speaker 1>really good. We saw quite a bit from Brandon Clark,

0:09:23.440 --> 0:09:26.640
<v Speaker 1>but overall, the Sixers with enough and you get Norvelle

0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:29.400
<v Speaker 1>in there, and so now I would think by Sunday,

0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:32.360
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna get Burkes and Robinson into the game, and

0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:35.520
<v Speaker 1>again now Josh back in the mix. You would hope

0:09:35.520 --> 0:09:38.280
<v Speaker 1>and b would be able to get to situated and

0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:41.720
<v Speaker 1>possibly be able to play on Sunday and then two

0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:45.760
<v Speaker 1>big games here, especially after you know a little bit

0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:48.160
<v Speaker 1>of a slump here with the road losses and the

0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:51.080
<v Speaker 1>way the Sixers lost in their most recent road defeats.

0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:53.199
<v Speaker 1>But if you can beat Chicago, and if there's a

0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:56.000
<v Speaker 1>one way you can beat the Clippers to come up

0:09:56.000 --> 0:09:58.240
<v Speaker 1>with a victory and go in with a little momentum

0:09:58.240 --> 0:10:00.719
<v Speaker 1>in the break, that would be huge for this Sixers

0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:02.959
<v Speaker 1>as they cap off this section of the season heading

0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:05.040
<v Speaker 1>into the All Star Break. It's funny how a game

0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:07.880
<v Speaker 1>like this can totally change your outlook and perspective or

0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:09.920
<v Speaker 1>just the way you feel a little bit, because you know,

0:10:09.960 --> 0:10:11.600
<v Speaker 1>two and a half hours ago, it was like, well,

0:10:11.640 --> 0:10:13.760
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers are coming in. What's gonna happen tonight? They've

0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:16.320
<v Speaker 1>dropped four in a row against some quality teams. They've

0:10:16.320 --> 0:10:18.880
<v Speaker 1>got a team that's hot in the building tonight, and

0:10:18.920 --> 0:10:20.280
<v Speaker 1>then right you know, you come out, you have a

0:10:20.360 --> 0:10:23.640
<v Speaker 1>very convincing performance and you just reference the names the

0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:27.240
<v Speaker 1>two new incoming players, and Alec Burks and Glenn Robinson

0:10:27.280 --> 0:10:28.600
<v Speaker 1>the third, and you're like, well, you know they could

0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:31.199
<v Speaker 1>handle team like Memphis tonight as convincingly as they did

0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:33.480
<v Speaker 1>without them. Well, now you think you add some extra

0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:36.720
<v Speaker 1>firepower in there, and it looks like an even deeper

0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:39.320
<v Speaker 1>roster that the Sixers could have, right for sure, And

0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:41.760
<v Speaker 1>like you know, and that's the thing, like Furkon's not

0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:44.840
<v Speaker 1>going away. He's gonna be in the rotation. He's proven

0:10:44.840 --> 0:10:47.960
<v Speaker 1>to be and you need shooters. That's exactly what general

0:10:48.000 --> 0:10:50.720
<v Speaker 1>manager Brand did in terms of going out and getting

0:10:50.720 --> 0:10:54.480
<v Speaker 1>these guys. So you're just adding more to the talent

0:10:54.520 --> 0:10:56.400
<v Speaker 1>based in terms of guys that can knock down shots.

0:10:56.400 --> 0:10:59.240
<v Speaker 1>These guys are both Burkes and Robinson having good years

0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:02.760
<v Speaker 1>the ball. But the Sixers can take nothing for granted,

0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:04.880
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean. Nice win here, going to

0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:06.920
<v Speaker 1>be able to take a breath in a much deserved

0:11:07.000 --> 0:11:09.240
<v Speaker 1>day off tomorrow, but you got to come back and

0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:12.280
<v Speaker 1>be loaded for Barrack. In Chicago with Levine, it's been

0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:14.920
<v Speaker 1>I think the Bulls would have to agree there, it's

0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:17.080
<v Speaker 1>been a little bit of a disappointing year for them.

0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:19.160
<v Speaker 1>It looked like they might be in the mix, but

0:11:19.240 --> 0:11:21.680
<v Speaker 1>you know you can't take anything for granted, and you

0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:25.080
<v Speaker 1>got to slowly climb your way back into that possibility

0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:27.400
<v Speaker 1>of getting a home court advantage because and again you

0:11:27.480 --> 0:11:30.720
<v Speaker 1>watched here tonight, what a deal for the six twenty

0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:33.559
<v Speaker 1>three wins and two losses, So to be able to

0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:36.200
<v Speaker 1>get a first round home court advantage would be enormous.

0:11:36.720 --> 0:11:39.280
<v Speaker 1>And like I said, you just got to incrementally keep

0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:43.240
<v Speaker 1>getting better and better, get healthy, get continuity, find out

0:11:43.240 --> 0:11:47.120
<v Speaker 1>this offensive identity. As you said, they played fast, without

0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:49.680
<v Speaker 1>a beat in the second half, move that ball around,

0:11:49.760 --> 0:11:52.560
<v Speaker 1>hit the threes, and an all around nice victory and

0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:55.719
<v Speaker 1>a much needed win obviously for the Sixers, No dad

0:11:55.760 --> 0:12:00.000
<v Speaker 1>about it, Tom McGinnis, thank you very much. Seventy sixers

0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:02.880
<v Speaker 1>rolled past the Memphis Grizzlies one nineteen, one oh seven.

0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:06.360
<v Speaker 1>Seventy sixers back at home, and you figured that would

0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:09.360
<v Speaker 1>hopefully be a very fortuitous and good thing for the

0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:12.559
<v Speaker 1>team tonight. Indeed it was the Sixers you could tell

0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:15.160
<v Speaker 1>came out right off the jump with a different type

0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:18.240
<v Speaker 1>of demeanor, attitude, energy, and a big part of that

0:12:18.320 --> 0:12:21.520
<v Speaker 1>for the home squad was none other than Joel Embad

0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:24.679
<v Speaker 1>Kyle Anderson was cut off. He kind of double pumped

0:12:25.120 --> 0:12:27.520
<v Speaker 1>to put it softly up and Valentunas tapped it in,

0:12:27.559 --> 0:12:29.400
<v Speaker 1>and now the Grizzlies down by one years A beat

0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:32.720
<v Speaker 1>for gree and that's good. Joella beat from out top,

0:12:32.840 --> 0:12:36.120
<v Speaker 1>knocking down the three point field goal, and Beat had

0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:39.040
<v Speaker 1>ten points, ten rebounds, three assists, two steals in a

0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:41.480
<v Speaker 1>block shot in fifteen minutes in the first half. He

0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:44.040
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't return after that due to next stiffness. At that point,

0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:47.000
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers led by four, twelve to eight. Ben Simmons

0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:48.920
<v Speaker 1>helped cap off the first quarter. A lot of the

0:12:48.960 --> 0:12:52.360
<v Speaker 1>coaches have been wearing Kobe Bryant bottle sneakers. Whoa Ben

0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:55.520
<v Speaker 1>Simmons with a wake up call for the grizz right

0:12:55.640 --> 0:12:59.079
<v Speaker 1>down lay with a right hand slam, Simmons dunk to

0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:03.160
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers lead by four. He was aggressive throughout the evening.

0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:05.840
<v Speaker 1>The seventy six was led by one, twenty six, twenty five.

0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:08.640
<v Speaker 1>After one in the second quarter of the Sixers clamped

0:13:08.640 --> 0:13:11.360
<v Speaker 1>down on defense for con Cork Mos got going and

0:13:11.480 --> 0:13:13.400
<v Speaker 1>things started to open up. As we headed towards the

0:13:13.400 --> 0:13:16.880
<v Speaker 1>half Ben outside left against melt drives baseline cut off

0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:20.040
<v Speaker 1>picks up his dribble cross court skip Horford not a

0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:24.080
<v Speaker 1>furk on another three by cork Boss is good four three,

0:13:24.320 --> 0:13:27.720
<v Speaker 1>sixteen points and Corkbos has looted the Sixers to an

0:13:27.840 --> 0:13:31.400
<v Speaker 1>eight point league and that lead would increase even more

0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:35.120
<v Speaker 1>to fourteen points at intermission fifty eight to forty four.

0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:37.640
<v Speaker 1>In the third quarter of the seventy sixers, they were

0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:39.640
<v Speaker 1>clicking even though they didn't have Joel and beat out

0:13:39.679 --> 0:13:42.880
<v Speaker 1>there again he didn't return with next stiffness. Batis Stybel

0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:45.840
<v Speaker 1>got the starting nod with his vacated spot talking about

0:13:45.920 --> 0:13:48.679
<v Speaker 1>him beating the third quarter and a Matisse did not disappoint,

0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:51.720
<v Speaker 1>so Bias Harris takes the challenge of Jared Jackson, jumps

0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:55.640
<v Speaker 1>into the Labatis and Thible gets a jam. So Harris

0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:59.520
<v Speaker 1>drew two defenders and Batis Steibel with a well timed

0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:02.840
<v Speaker 1>cut from off the ball from the right perimeter angles

0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:05.760
<v Speaker 1>in the lay catches it and jam. And a little

0:14:05.760 --> 0:14:08.400
<v Speaker 1>bit later on in the third quarter, Thibile showed his

0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:12.440
<v Speaker 1>perimeter stroke. Tea's being blocked it from behind. Thible missus,

0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:14.840
<v Speaker 1>here's Simmons with it. He's got Bible on the right side.

0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:18.400
<v Speaker 1>Thible go with the jam Fatistible with the right hand

0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:23.760
<v Speaker 1>jam and the Sixers are picking apart the Memphis Grizzlies. Well,

0:14:23.840 --> 0:14:26.800
<v Speaker 1>another interior stuff right there by matisse Thible making it

0:14:26.920 --> 0:14:30.040
<v Speaker 1>seventy four fifty one. The Memphis Grizzlies, they took a

0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:32.360
<v Speaker 1>time out and the Sixers they would be well on

0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:34.680
<v Speaker 1>their way to season control of this game. As we

0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:38.080
<v Speaker 1>moved on to the fourth quarter, Memphis made a little

0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:40.320
<v Speaker 1>bit of a run. Al Horford is part of keeping

0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:43.520
<v Speaker 1>the opposition at bay and now Memphis has scored seventeen

0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:46.280
<v Speaker 1>to will last nineteen points in the game. Simmons with

0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:50.000
<v Speaker 1>it out top Horford for three and that's good. Al

0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:53.640
<v Speaker 1>Horford with a triple that re established some order. The

0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:56.200
<v Speaker 1>Sixers back up by twenty one one o two to

0:14:56.440 --> 0:14:59.440
<v Speaker 1>eighty one. We'll leave the last highlight to our guy

0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:04.120
<v Speaker 1>for Quartermas Sivens twenty points, ten assists. Here's Corkbas for

0:15:04.160 --> 0:15:07.760
<v Speaker 1>another three and he thrills it and the fan, the

0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:14.040
<v Speaker 1>fans on the pass over to Corkbos rising as one.

0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:18.560
<v Speaker 1>They're feeling it. The fans were feeling it. Indeed they

0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:22.240
<v Speaker 1>chanted some select fans you heard MVP chants or whenever

0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:25.160
<v Speaker 1>fur Con Corkmas, you know, towed the line late in

0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:27.520
<v Speaker 1>this one tonight. It was a great performance by him.

0:15:27.520 --> 0:15:30.000
<v Speaker 1>He got a standing ovation as he went to and

0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:32.560
<v Speaker 1>then took a seat upon the seventy sixers bench. Late.

0:15:33.000 --> 0:15:34.880
<v Speaker 1>Sixers needed someone to give them a shot in the

0:15:34.960 --> 0:15:38.480
<v Speaker 1>arm between Ben Simmons and fur Con Corkmas in particular,

0:15:39.280 --> 0:15:43.080
<v Speaker 1>that was the antidote for the Sixers tonight. Six Ers

0:15:43.080 --> 0:15:45.760
<v Speaker 1>shot over fifty three percent for the game, fourteen for

0:15:45.880 --> 0:15:48.640
<v Speaker 1>twenty five from outside the arc. They kept Memphis in check,

0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:50.720
<v Speaker 1>shooting under forty one percent from the field in five

0:15:50.760 --> 0:15:53.760
<v Speaker 1>to twenty one from three. The Sixers were plus ten

0:15:53.880 --> 0:15:56.960
<v Speaker 1>on the glass. Overall. They did commit twenty one turnovers,

0:15:57.000 --> 0:15:59.680
<v Speaker 1>but between the second and third quarters when the Sixers

0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:03.320
<v Speaker 1>really he sees control, after committing ten turnovers in the

0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:06.520
<v Speaker 1>first quarter, they cut down on that number and that

0:16:06.600 --> 0:16:09.360
<v Speaker 1>helped them again kind of get in the driver's seat

0:16:09.400 --> 0:16:12.200
<v Speaker 1>of this one tonight. Thirty four points a new career

0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:15.600
<v Speaker 1>high for Corkmas, twenty two points and ten assists for

0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:18.520
<v Speaker 1>Ben Simmons, twenty one points, six rebounds five times for

0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:21.440
<v Speaker 1>Tobias Harris, ten points for Al Horford to go with

0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:24.200
<v Speaker 1>eight rebounds and six assists and as I mentioned, ten

0:16:24.240 --> 0:16:26.160
<v Speaker 1>and ten for Joel and beat in fifteen minutes in

0:16:26.200 --> 0:16:29.320
<v Speaker 1>the first half. He went out with next stiffness fifteen

0:16:29.400 --> 0:16:31.760
<v Speaker 1>for John Morant, just four of twelve from the field.
