<v Speaker 1>five the fanatic, great game, Great Theater at TD Garden,

0:00:30.400 --> 0:00:33.159
<v Speaker 1>Just not the outcome the seventy Sixers we're hoping for.

0:00:33.360 --> 0:00:37.840
<v Speaker 1>On Christmas Day one fourteen, the Boston Celtics knock off

0:00:37.840 --> 0:00:41.400
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers in overtime as the Sixers five game road

0:00:41.400 --> 0:00:44.720
<v Speaker 1>trip of season long begins with a tough loss. I'm

0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:47.599
<v Speaker 1>Brian Seltzer. Thanks for checking out the postgame show on

0:00:47.640 --> 0:00:51.320
<v Speaker 1>this holiday night. Yeah, this one was a bummer this evening,

0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:53.880
<v Speaker 1>But other than that, I hope you've had a really nice, enjoyable,

0:00:53.920 --> 0:00:57.360
<v Speaker 1>relaxing day. Man, the stars in this game, some of

0:00:57.400 --> 0:01:00.520
<v Speaker 1>them played just like it, and you'd have to start

0:01:00.560 --> 0:01:04.319
<v Speaker 1>with Kyrie Irving. Dynamic forty points is one thing to

0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:07.080
<v Speaker 1>get there on seventeen of thirty three shooting better than

0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:10.240
<v Speaker 1>fifty percent shooting from the field overall, five of ten

0:01:10.280 --> 0:01:15.040
<v Speaker 1>from outside the arc ten rebounds, three assists, just two turnovers.

0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:18.880
<v Speaker 1>An impressive performance by him and certainly right where you

0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:22.679
<v Speaker 1>go to when you're trying to examine, analyze, and dissect

0:01:23.040 --> 0:01:25.080
<v Speaker 1>how this game got away from the seventy six or.

0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:27.959
<v Speaker 1>The Sixers had a great second half comeback bid. They

0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:29.920
<v Speaker 1>were up by two points one o eight, one oh

0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:33.240
<v Speaker 1>six after a Wilson Chandler three point with thirty six

0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:36.679
<v Speaker 1>seconds to go, Irving, with Jimmy Butler, an All League

0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:40.520
<v Speaker 1>defender multiple times draped all over him, hit a really

0:01:40.560 --> 0:01:43.480
<v Speaker 1>impressive step back jumper, a thirteen foot fade away that

0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:45.760
<v Speaker 1>tied the game at one oweight. The Sixers got off

0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:48.680
<v Speaker 1>to an encouraging start in overtime one thirteen, one oweight,

0:01:48.680 --> 0:01:51.600
<v Speaker 1>with three thirty three left. Well after that, the Boston

0:01:51.640 --> 0:01:55.400
<v Speaker 1>Celtics outscored the Sixers thirteen to one to end the game,

0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:58.320
<v Speaker 1>and the crucial turning point, of course, was when Kyrie

0:01:58.320 --> 0:02:00.680
<v Speaker 1>Irving hit back to back threes with two minutes to

0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:03.880
<v Speaker 1>go that vaulted the Celtics into the lead one eighteen,

0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:07.680
<v Speaker 1>one fourteen. They did not turn back. Irving his second

0:02:07.720 --> 0:02:10.960
<v Speaker 1>forty point performance of the season, three points off his

0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:14.240
<v Speaker 1>season high spoiling the seventy sixers efforts to get their

0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:16.720
<v Speaker 1>first win of the year over Boston, and also some

0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:20.040
<v Speaker 1>really excellent individual efforts from the sixers own all stars.

0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:22.960
<v Speaker 1>We're talking about Joel Embiad thirty four points, sixteen rebounds,

0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:27.040
<v Speaker 1>Jimmy Butler twenty four points, five boards, four assists, three steals.

0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:29.760
<v Speaker 1>Thought Jimmy picked up his defense in his overall game

0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:33.120
<v Speaker 1>really as the evening went on, certainly no easy task

0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:35.200
<v Speaker 1>for him, having to go up against the likes of

0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:39.600
<v Speaker 1>his fell Olympian Kyrie Irving the Sixers. They changed things

0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:41.840
<v Speaker 1>around in that third quarter when the bench began to

0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:44.960
<v Speaker 1>pick things up, Butler elevated his level of play. Joel

0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:48.240
<v Speaker 1>Embiad had a fantastic finish to the third, but just

0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:50.840
<v Speaker 1>not quite enough in the end that the Celtics getting

0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:54.280
<v Speaker 1>some solid production out of their bench. Terry Rozier at

0:02:54.320 --> 0:02:56.120
<v Speaker 1>a point of the game where the Sixers where in

0:02:56.160 --> 0:02:59.400
<v Speaker 1>the lead, helped get the Celtics back into this Marcus

0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:02.200
<v Speaker 1>Morris starter, I feel like, at least me, this is

0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:04.959
<v Speaker 1>totally me speaking. I feel like I constantly overlook talking

0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:07.799
<v Speaker 1>about Marcus Morris when these two teams play. He was

0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:10.840
<v Speaker 1>huge to night with twenty three points. Jason Tatum twenty

0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:13.640
<v Speaker 1>three and ten, the second year wingman with a double

0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:16.720
<v Speaker 1>double tonight for the Boston Celtics. Seventy six Ers now

0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:19.400
<v Speaker 1>twenty two and thirteen with the loss. The Celtics improved

0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:22.360
<v Speaker 1>to twenty and thirteen with the victory. Tom McGinnis is

0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:24.720
<v Speaker 1>standing by. We will talk to him next and we'll

0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:27.280
<v Speaker 1>also replay some of his highlight calls from a dramatic,

0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:30.840
<v Speaker 1>entertaining but tough outcome for the seventy Sixers at TD

<v Speaker 1>Nutty seven five the fanatic. Well, it was a really

0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:21.320
<v Speaker 1>thrilling game at TD Garden tonight, the seventy sixers in Boston,

0:04:21.320 --> 0:04:24.040
<v Speaker 1>Celtics playing for the five hundred and fifty first time ever.

0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:26.919
<v Speaker 1>Sixers seem like they were in a pretty good spot

0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:29.919
<v Speaker 1>at various stages of the second half and over time.

0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:33.240
<v Speaker 1>But that man, Kyrie Irving went for forty points a

0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:36.320
<v Speaker 1>really truly great game by him, as the Celtics won

0:04:36.320 --> 0:04:38.799
<v Speaker 1>in overtime one twenty one to one fourteen. I'm Brian Seltzer.

0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:42.479
<v Speaker 1>Tom McGuinness was at TD Garden, Tom. I mean, there's

0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:44.479
<v Speaker 1>some games where you can look at the performance of

0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:46.720
<v Speaker 1>a player on the opposite side and say, well, maybe

0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:49.080
<v Speaker 1>could the Sixers have done this, that or the other thing.

0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:51.400
<v Speaker 1>Kyrie was great. There were some issues that the Sixers

0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:54.640
<v Speaker 1>had tonight. Turnovers were a major subplot. But Irving was

0:04:54.880 --> 0:04:57.720
<v Speaker 1>pretty spectacular now he really is. And the Sixers had

0:04:57.760 --> 0:05:01.040
<v Speaker 1>Butler on him, and you know that last sequence at

0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:03.839
<v Speaker 1>the end of regulation he almost corkscrewed himself into the

0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:06.000
<v Speaker 1>hardwood the way he was dribbling and spending and trying

0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:08.520
<v Speaker 1>to get free, and he finally was able to get

0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:10.720
<v Speaker 1>off a shot. It catches a lot of front rim

0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:12.800
<v Speaker 1>but trickles in to tie it at one oh eight,

0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:17.880
<v Speaker 1>and then they know the first shot was an amazing three,

0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:20.719
<v Speaker 1>but the second one, it's like he had just oodles

0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:23.680
<v Speaker 1>of adrenaline as well, just ran them a line pull up,

0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:26.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, three points, shot like a sprint to the arc,

0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:29.200
<v Speaker 1>and made another one, and you know, he's one of

0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:31.120
<v Speaker 1>the best players in the world. He helped win a

0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:33.599
<v Speaker 1>championship with a game winning shot when he was with

0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:37.760
<v Speaker 1>Cleveland what now, three seasons ago, and the Sixers had

0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:39.919
<v Speaker 1>no answer for him. And then the efficiency down the

0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:42.520
<v Speaker 1>stretch and they half court for the Sixers just wasn't there.

0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:45.640
<v Speaker 1>And let's be honest, they haven't graduated to where they

0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:49.520
<v Speaker 1>can beat Boston and not here anyway, and Irving was

0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:51.680
<v Speaker 1>just so good and he turned out to be the

0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:53.839
<v Speaker 1>best player in the game here tonight. The Sixers played

0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:55.960
<v Speaker 1>a good road game. They battled time and time again.

0:05:56.560 --> 0:05:58.720
<v Speaker 1>They just didn't have enough plays down the stretch. And

0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:02.200
<v Speaker 1>Boston right now, is let's face it, their record wise

0:06:02.240 --> 0:06:04.480
<v Speaker 1>maybe not so, but overall better than the Sixers at

0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:07.400
<v Speaker 1>least than they head to head competition. Boston knocks off

0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:09.719
<v Speaker 1>the seventy six Ers one twenty one to one fourteen

0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:13.480
<v Speaker 1>in overtime at TD Garden. Yeah, the Sixers bench, it

0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:15.760
<v Speaker 1>did not score in the first half time, but in

0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:17.880
<v Speaker 1>terms of when we look back at what key things

0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:20.520
<v Speaker 1>and changed the tone in that third quarter, that bench

0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:24.000
<v Speaker 1>had some really important contributions there, whether it was Landry

0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:26.600
<v Speaker 1>Shammut with a three, t J. McConnell the basket and

0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:29.360
<v Speaker 1>a scholar shot went down, and the Sixers are will

0:06:29.360 --> 0:06:31.840
<v Speaker 1>build off that between Butler and and b but not

0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:34.560
<v Speaker 1>quite enough. Overall. When you look at what the Celtics

0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:37.200
<v Speaker 1>were able to do without Aaron Baines, they still got

0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:41.600
<v Speaker 1>a pretty balanced performance. When you look down their statue, right,

0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:44.200
<v Speaker 1>Clark Moss had a three in that session that you're

0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:46.680
<v Speaker 1>talking about that part of the game, and you know,

0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:49.880
<v Speaker 1>I put the box away, but I think Boston's bench

0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:52.880
<v Speaker 1>had ten more points than the Sixers. Yeah, that plus

0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:55.480
<v Speaker 1>miss free throws for the Sixers, and that you know

0:06:55.960 --> 0:06:59.200
<v Speaker 1>the old bugaboo with the points off turnovers. You know

0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:04.520
<v Speaker 1>that those that combination really costs the Sixers. And you know,

0:07:04.560 --> 0:07:08.240
<v Speaker 1>even down the stretch of Sixers. Again, every single possession

0:07:08.480 --> 0:07:11.560
<v Speaker 1>is maximized when you're in overtime, and you know, they

0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:13.960
<v Speaker 1>came away empty, and you know, I kept trying to

0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:16.200
<v Speaker 1>work on that, but didn't. The Sixers lead by three

0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:19.880
<v Speaker 1>or four in overtime before things swung around with Kyrie

0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:23.880
<v Speaker 1>making those threes. I mean, I recall a sequence where

0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:26.960
<v Speaker 1>I was saying, boy, Boston needs to get a basket

0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:29.160
<v Speaker 1>here because the Sixers it was already a two possession

0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:32.360
<v Speaker 1>game and that's when they're onslaught started. But that's how

0:07:32.440 --> 0:07:35.080
<v Speaker 1>quickly it can turn in overtime. That was still with

0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:38.520
<v Speaker 1>like three minutes to go in overtime, and they came

0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:41.000
<v Speaker 1>back to win by seven. So that was you know,

0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:44.080
<v Speaker 1>they just it was like they unloaded the stick of dynamite.

0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:45.600
<v Speaker 1>It just blew up the rest of the game and

0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:48.160
<v Speaker 1>did a tremendous job and came away Here. It's a

0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:51.520
<v Speaker 1>it's an incredible atmosphere here at Boston and it's hard

0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:54.360
<v Speaker 1>to sit here, but boy, you gotta tip your hat.

0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:57.360
<v Speaker 1>They played great, Kyrie irving a forty point performance of

0:07:57.400 --> 0:07:59.400
<v Speaker 1>the Celtics to help them win it. Yeah, the sequence

0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:02.080
<v Speaker 1>Tom was Sixers went up on a Butler field goal

0:08:02.120 --> 0:08:04.240
<v Speaker 1>one twelve one O eight, three thirty five to go

0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:06.440
<v Speaker 1>and over time. That was the last field goal the

0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:08.960
<v Speaker 1>team had in the game. They got two free throws

0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:11.560
<v Speaker 1>after that before Boston went on its run. Looking back,

0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:13.520
<v Speaker 1>what did you make of the way Jimmy Butler and

0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:15.760
<v Speaker 1>Joel and b the seventy six ers, two All Stars,

0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:19.000
<v Speaker 1>played in tonight's game. They played great. I mean, Jimmy like,

0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:21.440
<v Speaker 1>to me, it was not just what he did down

0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:23.760
<v Speaker 1>the stretch, but the second quarter he was big, and

0:08:23.840 --> 0:08:26.840
<v Speaker 1>so he wasn't the third quarter. I mean, you know,

0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:29.400
<v Speaker 1>he's a guy that can can go out and get

0:08:29.440 --> 0:08:32.120
<v Speaker 1>a basket and even if he doesn't score, he's getting

0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:34.400
<v Speaker 1>a good look. And you know, you obviously have to

0:08:34.440 --> 0:08:36.360
<v Speaker 1>score the ball. But that's what you're looking for is

0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:38.560
<v Speaker 1>your you know, your opportunities, and he's just such a

0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:42.840
<v Speaker 1>good player. He's able to really get some great looks

0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:44.800
<v Speaker 1>and then you know you're able. You're putting him on

0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:47.640
<v Speaker 1>Kyrie and again he didn't totally stop him, but he's

0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:51.120
<v Speaker 1>the best answer defensively at this point. You know, obviously

0:08:51.200 --> 0:08:53.240
<v Speaker 1>Covington was the guy who would take that type of

0:08:53.280 --> 0:08:57.520
<v Speaker 1>assignment in years past against that kind of player, and

0:08:57.559 --> 0:09:00.320
<v Speaker 1>Covington didn't really have a good playoff against Boston. In fact,

0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:03.000
<v Speaker 1>he ended up coming off the bench in that series.

0:09:03.600 --> 0:09:06.760
<v Speaker 1>But now it's Jimmy Butler and so and Joel was great.

0:09:07.160 --> 0:09:10.760
<v Speaker 1>It's just Horford does a really good job. And you know,

0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:14.120
<v Speaker 1>they swarm Joel. He mishandled the ball in a trap

0:09:14.160 --> 0:09:16.000
<v Speaker 1>that was one of the fourth quarter turnover, one of

0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:19.520
<v Speaker 1>the overtime turnovers, and you know they took him out

0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:22.199
<v Speaker 1>of it a little bit late in the game with

0:09:22.240 --> 0:09:25.480
<v Speaker 1>those double teams, and you know, so hopefully, you know,

0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:29.680
<v Speaker 1>the sixers, they used that Celtics you know, playoff loss

0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:33.320
<v Speaker 1>as a roadmap for the future. Bred Brown talks a

0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:35.880
<v Speaker 1>lot about trying to learn from, you know, from these

0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:39.760
<v Speaker 1>games and going against top flight competition. Well, hopefully this is, uh,

0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:42.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, this is a roadmap because you know, they

0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:46.560
<v Speaker 1>beat Toronto and they've beaten Indiana. But if I'm not mistaken,

0:09:46.600 --> 0:09:49.920
<v Speaker 1>that's it. In seven games, they've lost five against these

0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:55.480
<v Speaker 1>top flight competitors like Milwaukee, like Toronto and now Boston

0:09:55.559 --> 0:09:57.840
<v Speaker 1>with two losses too. So I mean, these are the

0:09:57.880 --> 0:10:00.120
<v Speaker 1>teams that you're gonna you know, you have aspirations get

0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:03.679
<v Speaker 1>into the finals, well, you're gonna make something happen against

0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:06.319
<v Speaker 1>these top teams because eventually you're gonna have to play

0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:09.720
<v Speaker 1>them in the playoffs more than likely. If if you

0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:13.199
<v Speaker 1>want to advance beyond the you know, the first second round,

0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:14.480
<v Speaker 1>you know you're gonna have to meet one of these

0:10:14.480 --> 0:10:18.160
<v Speaker 1>teams in round two. Seventy Sixers fall in Boston and

0:10:18.280 --> 0:10:22.360
<v Speaker 1>overtime one fourteen up next four straight on the road

0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:25.520
<v Speaker 1>against Western Conference teams. And we saw the seventy Sixers

0:10:25.559 --> 0:10:28.360
<v Speaker 1>and the Jazz battle once early in November. It was

0:10:28.440 --> 0:10:30.440
<v Speaker 1>Jimmy Butler's home debut. He went for a team high

0:10:30.480 --> 0:10:33.480
<v Speaker 1>twenty eight points. But some good subplots time in that matchup.

0:10:33.480 --> 0:10:35.520
<v Speaker 1>Whether you look in the backcourt, guys like Ben Simmons

0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:37.959
<v Speaker 1>and Donovan Mitchell are on the front line with Joel

0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:41.400
<v Speaker 1>Embiid and Rudy Gobert, no doubt about it. And again

0:10:41.440 --> 0:10:44.040
<v Speaker 1>you taught place tonight against Portland. That's a good scout

0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:45.760
<v Speaker 1>for the six Ers. They're gonna get to watch both

0:10:45.800 --> 0:10:48.600
<v Speaker 1>of those teams. But I think for the Sixers, you

0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:51.640
<v Speaker 1>know they gotta have to You mentioned Donovan Mitchell, like,

0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:56.480
<v Speaker 1>please don't start. I'm still recovering from tonight, Like, you're right,

0:10:56.520 --> 0:10:59.319
<v Speaker 1>I mean, Utah again, here's another team that you think

0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:02.120
<v Speaker 1>their record would be a little bit better than what

0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:03.839
<v Speaker 1>it is. And that was a hard fought game at

0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:06.480
<v Speaker 1>the center. To me, you mentioned Butler in the twenty

0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:09.160
<v Speaker 1>eight points. He had a game winning shot in that

0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:11.520
<v Speaker 1>game that was a baseline inbound by the Sixers bench

0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:13.400
<v Speaker 1>and he gets a layup with like eleven or thirteen

0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:16.120
<v Speaker 1>seconds to go in the game that provided the margin

0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:18.199
<v Speaker 1>of victory. I mean, we all think of a point

0:11:18.280 --> 0:11:20.680
<v Speaker 1>four to go and buzzer beaters in Brooklyn and Charlotte,

0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:23.720
<v Speaker 1>which absolutely but you know, so that wasn't a walk

0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:26.160
<v Speaker 1>off winner, but they don't win that game without those points.

0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:29.080
<v Speaker 1>So Jimmy was huge in that game, in that first

0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:33.200
<v Speaker 1>Philadelphia game for him in terms of in the center.

0:11:33.240 --> 0:11:35.679
<v Speaker 1>And yeah, this is a difficult road trip. I mean,

0:11:35.679 --> 0:11:37.959
<v Speaker 1>then you get the Clippers and a much improved Phoenix

0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:40.080
<v Speaker 1>team in a back to back at the end of

0:11:40.120 --> 0:11:42.480
<v Speaker 1>the trip, and like I said, this would have really

0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:46.200
<v Speaker 1>I thought I catapulted the Sixers, but they've been resilient

0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:48.280
<v Speaker 1>and you got to come back and you know, kind

0:11:48.280 --> 0:11:51.240
<v Speaker 1>of regroup a little bit and fly out west. They're

0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:53.200
<v Speaker 1>going to be with their families tonight and a little

0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:55.760
<v Speaker 1>bit in the morning before embarking on the rest of

0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:58.400
<v Speaker 1>his trip. In Salt Lake City has been a most

0:11:58.440 --> 0:12:01.800
<v Speaker 1>difficult place to play over the years. I mean, it's

0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:04.360
<v Speaker 1>a raucous building the way it's set up, and it'll

0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:07.080
<v Speaker 1>be a difficult game, to be sure. And Utah, led

0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:09.400
<v Speaker 1>by Quinn Snyder's always a rugged defensive team as they

0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:12.200
<v Speaker 1>have been for years, all these years, you know, led

0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:15.240
<v Speaker 1>by Jerry Sloane and whatnot, going back a few years.

0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:18.280
<v Speaker 1>But that's a tough place to play, all right, Tom

0:12:18.280 --> 0:12:20.800
<v Speaker 1>and Ginnis, enjoy what is left of your Christmas holiday.

0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:24.120
<v Speaker 1>Talk to you on Thursday from SLC. All right, thank you,

0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:28.160
<v Speaker 1>good night, Brian. Seventy Sixers drop a one twenty one

0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:32.280
<v Speaker 1>to one fourteen overtime decision to the Boston Celtics thrilling,

0:12:32.360 --> 0:12:35.800
<v Speaker 1>exciting game. Kyrie Irving sent the game to overtime with

0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:38.600
<v Speaker 1>a very impressive two point jumper. He had back to

0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:40.720
<v Speaker 1>back three pointers at Boston in it the lead for

0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:43.840
<v Speaker 1>good in overtime, and the Sixers not able to slow

0:12:43.880 --> 0:12:46.040
<v Speaker 1>Irving or the rest of the seas down in a

0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:48.840
<v Speaker 1>seven point loss to start their five game roach or hey,

0:12:48.880 --> 0:12:51.680
<v Speaker 1>we apologize for no Brett Brown tonight. We usually have

0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:53.640
<v Speaker 1>that as a feature on our postgame shows. But the

0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:57.439
<v Speaker 1>way these things work in terms of radiologistic land, when

0:12:57.440 --> 0:12:59.959
<v Speaker 1>the game's on national television and not carried by our

0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:03.000
<v Speaker 1>great friends at NBC Sports Philadelphia, we often do not

0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:06.040
<v Speaker 1>get the head coaches postgame press conference feed. So that

0:13:06.240 --> 0:13:08.960
<v Speaker 1>is why you will not hear from Brett Brown tonight.

0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:11.440

<v Speaker 1>Celtics great eater on Christmas Day. My name's Brian Seltzer.

0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:05.160
<v Speaker 1>Let's get to the highlights from round two between these

0:14:05.160 --> 0:14:07.760
<v Speaker 1>two long time rivals around two for this season, five

0:14:07.840 --> 0:14:10.600
<v Speaker 1>hundred and fifty, first all time meeting, and it got

0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:13.800
<v Speaker 1>off to an auspicious start for the Sixers. Sixers get

0:14:13.800 --> 0:14:15.599
<v Speaker 1>it back and they got a three ball by a

0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:18.600
<v Speaker 1>beat up and good. So the Sixers get a second

0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:21.240
<v Speaker 1>chance opportunity and it beat gives us Sixers a four

0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:24.000
<v Speaker 1>point lead. NA about that Joe with a three pointer

0:14:24.080 --> 0:14:27.760
<v Speaker 1>after not attempting the single three his two previous games.

0:14:27.760 --> 0:14:30.480
<v Speaker 1>The Sixers got up to an early lead, but Kyrie

0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:33.480
<v Speaker 1>Irving got going. He had sixteen points in the first quarter,

0:14:33.840 --> 0:14:36.640
<v Speaker 1>helping the Celtics to a thirty two thirty twenty five

0:14:36.680 --> 0:14:39.600
<v Speaker 1>advantage after twelve minutes of play. In the second quarter,

0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:42.400
<v Speaker 1>the Celtics opened up a double figure league, but Jimmy

0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:45.600
<v Speaker 1>Butler was able to find his r Sixers ball Boston

0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:48.640
<v Speaker 1>by six, Butler pull up three for the Sixers. Bottom.

0:14:49.000 --> 0:14:52.080
<v Speaker 1>Jimmy Butler knocks it out at these Sixers. Now with

0:14:52.320 --> 0:14:55.920
<v Speaker 1>nine from Butler, they're fifth, main three and they were

0:14:55.920 --> 0:14:59.200
<v Speaker 1>down three thirty nine thirty six Irving It responded again,

0:14:59.280 --> 0:15:02.040
<v Speaker 1>helping open up the Celtics lead to what was at

0:15:02.080 --> 0:15:04.040
<v Speaker 1>that point in time and what would eventually be a

0:15:04.120 --> 0:15:08.000
<v Speaker 1>game high eleven points fifty to thirty nine Boston like

0:15:08.120 --> 0:15:10.600
<v Speaker 1>fifty seven fifty one at the break of very spirited

0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:13.040
<v Speaker 1>start for the third quarter helped the Sixers tie things

0:15:13.120 --> 0:15:15.880
<v Speaker 1>up quickly. Here's butler back download of Ben Simmons in

0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:19.080
<v Speaker 1>the lane two hand jam, time out, Boston, nine fifty

0:15:19.120 --> 0:15:21.560
<v Speaker 1>two to go in the third, Simmons slams it at

0:15:21.560 --> 0:15:25.760
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers tie the score as Butler sets up Ben Simmons.

0:15:26.520 --> 0:15:29.240
<v Speaker 1>You know what, Boston, they would rebuild the margin two

0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:32.560
<v Speaker 1>eleven over the Sixers bench, which was held scoreless in

0:15:32.560 --> 0:15:36.120
<v Speaker 1>the first half, founded stride Landry's Shammont the key three pointer.

0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:38.400
<v Speaker 1>Jimmy Butler was out there playing with a lot of reserves,

0:15:38.560 --> 0:15:41.480
<v Speaker 1>and he kept a run going. The moose man was

0:15:41.520 --> 0:15:43.760
<v Speaker 1>in the corner. Butler comes over to take them all

0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:46.600
<v Speaker 1>the way. T J McConnell, Sixers with numbers. He fakes

0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:49.120
<v Speaker 1>a pass. It now goes to Chailer op the Muscala

0:15:49.200 --> 0:15:52.640
<v Speaker 1>three fall. It's good. Finally, Mike Muscalo knocks out of

0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:56.520
<v Speaker 1>three at the Sixers tie in at eighty one. They

0:15:56.640 --> 0:15:58.480
<v Speaker 1>with the score then and at the end of three

0:15:58.560 --> 0:16:01.040
<v Speaker 1>quarters and played the Sixers behind Joel and Bead scoring

0:16:01.480 --> 0:16:04.080
<v Speaker 1>seven straight points, were in the lead eighty nine to

0:16:04.160 --> 0:16:06.920
<v Speaker 1>eighty six. Onto the fourth quarter. It was really competitive,

0:16:07.120 --> 0:16:10.320
<v Speaker 1>really close. Entering the final minutes, Joel and Bead helped

0:16:10.400 --> 0:16:12.640
<v Speaker 1>nudge the Sixers back in front. It be with an

0:16:12.640 --> 0:16:14.720
<v Speaker 1>out top, it be with a dribble, takes it into

0:16:14.840 --> 0:16:18.720
<v Speaker 1>nine sidesteps. Everybody at duns it Boston wants a travel

0:16:18.800 --> 0:16:22.320
<v Speaker 1>call it beat with a stuff. He's got thirty two.

0:16:23.480 --> 0:16:25.520
<v Speaker 1>The Salestic could take a one oh six one oh

0:16:25.560 --> 0:16:28.520
<v Speaker 1>five lead with ninety seconds to go. The defense clamped

0:16:28.560 --> 0:16:32.000
<v Speaker 1>down and a new member of the seventy sixers starting

0:16:32.000 --> 0:16:34.360
<v Speaker 1>five this season, wasn't involved in the playoffs last year

0:16:34.440 --> 0:16:36.240
<v Speaker 1>because they will shoot the team back in front. With

0:16:36.320 --> 0:16:38.880
<v Speaker 1>time winding down, the fourth Sixers out let their playing

0:16:38.920 --> 0:16:41.600
<v Speaker 1>five on four. Here's Tayler, the Butler Jimmy on the

0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:44.560
<v Speaker 1>way back to Wilson. Chandler look shoots three ball. He's

0:16:44.640 --> 0:16:48.120
<v Speaker 1>God Willson. Chayler doc dot of three had the Sixers

0:16:48.160 --> 0:16:51.040
<v Speaker 1>go up by two one ow eight one oh six.

0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:53.360
<v Speaker 1>That was with thirty six seconds to go. Kyrie Irving

0:16:53.440 --> 0:16:56.520
<v Speaker 1>an incredible thirteen foot jumper with Jimmy Butler all over

0:16:56.680 --> 0:16:59.280
<v Speaker 1>with twenty one seconds left tied it one away. Then

0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:02.200
<v Speaker 1>the game went to overtime. It was a good start

0:17:02.240 --> 0:17:05.120
<v Speaker 1>for the seventy sixers and ot They went up one thirteen,

0:17:05.200 --> 0:17:07.680
<v Speaker 1>one away. Find a Jimmy Butler basket with three and

0:17:07.680 --> 0:17:09.960
<v Speaker 1>a half minutes to go the Sixers. They would only

0:17:10.000 --> 0:17:12.000
<v Speaker 1>score one point in the final three and a half

0:17:12.040 --> 0:17:15.320
<v Speaker 1>minutes a free throw from Ben Simmons. Celtics went on

0:17:15.359 --> 0:17:18.200
<v Speaker 1>a run and guess who was a leading away well

0:17:18.280 --> 0:17:21.560
<v Speaker 1>couple the rebound, irving down the fireside, pulls up three ball.

0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:25.880
<v Speaker 1>It's good Pie Ree irving back to back. Praise at

0:17:25.880 --> 0:17:30.720
<v Speaker 1>the Celtics crowd. It's going crazy in Boston and for

0:17:30.800 --> 0:17:33.520
<v Speaker 1>good reason. It was one, eighteen, one fourteen. Then the

0:17:33.560 --> 0:17:36.520
<v Speaker 1>final score would be one twenty one to one at fourteen.

0:17:37.040 --> 0:17:39.080
<v Speaker 1>Seventy six Ers shot just under forty one and a

0:17:39.119 --> 0:17:41.880
<v Speaker 1>half percent from the field, Boston just over forty one

0:17:41.880 --> 0:17:45.000
<v Speaker 1>and a half percent. Sixers with fifteen three pointers, Boston

0:17:45.040 --> 0:17:49.040
<v Speaker 1>with fourteen. The Sixers shot twenty three of twenty nine

0:17:49.119 --> 0:17:52.960
<v Speaker 1>from the free throw line, the Celtics were seventeen of twenties.

0:17:53.000 --> 0:17:55.320
<v Speaker 1>So you're saying, wow, it sounds like those numbers were

0:17:55.400 --> 0:17:57.440
<v Speaker 1>not only relatively even, but in some ways favor of

0:17:57.440 --> 0:18:01.439
<v Speaker 1>the seventy sixers. Boston attempted at the sixteen more shots

0:18:01.440 --> 0:18:04.240
<v Speaker 1>in the Sixers, and based on that, on those extras

0:18:04.280 --> 0:18:08.399
<v Speaker 1>sixteen shots, they went what seven four, sixteen, and they

0:18:08.480 --> 0:18:11.000
<v Speaker 1>ended up scoring seven more baskets in the Sixers, and

0:18:11.040 --> 0:18:14.280
<v Speaker 1>that was pretty much the difference in the game. Sixers

0:18:14.280 --> 0:18:17.520
<v Speaker 1>were plus one on the glass. Turnovers a major problem

0:18:17.520 --> 0:18:20.040
<v Speaker 1>for the Sixers. They had nineteen Boston with nine. The

0:18:20.080 --> 0:18:23.080
<v Speaker 1>Celtics outscored the Sixers twenty two to five in terms

0:18:23.080 --> 0:18:26.560
<v Speaker 1>of points off turnovers. Kyrie Irving game high scoring total

0:18:26.600 --> 0:18:28.560
<v Speaker 1>his second forty point game of the season with forty

0:18:28.600 --> 0:18:31.280
<v Speaker 1>points even seventeen to thirty three overall, five of ten

0:18:31.400 --> 0:18:34.520
<v Speaker 1>from three at ten rebounds two twenty three points apiece

0:18:34.560 --> 0:18:37.440
<v Speaker 1>for Jason Tatum and Marcus Morris for the seventy Sixers,

0:18:37.720 --> 0:18:40.000
<v Speaker 1>led by Joel and Bead with thirty four, and he

0:18:40.040 --> 0:18:43.600
<v Speaker 1>also had sixteen rebounds for his league leading thirtieth double

0:18:43.640 --> 0:18:46.800
<v Speaker 1>double on the year. Twenty four for Jimmy Butler, Wilson

0:18:46.840 --> 0:18:50.240
<v Speaker 1>Chandler with fifteen, Jj Reddick with seventeen points. He was

0:18:50.240 --> 0:18:53.800
<v Speaker 1>four of ten from outside the arc. Ben Simmons eleven points,

0:18:53.840 --> 0:18:57.520
<v Speaker 1>fourteen rebounds and eight assists. Seventy Sixers did not get

0:18:57.560 --> 0:19:00.679
<v Speaker 1>a ton from the bench, just thirteen points from the

0:19:00.760 --> 0:19:03.840
<v Speaker 1>reserve corps in tonight's game. With the loss, six Ers

0:19:03.920 --> 0:19:06.880
<v Speaker 1>now twenty two and thirteen over all, the Boston Celtics

0:19:06.920 --> 0:19:10.320
<v Speaker 1>improved to twenty and thirteen. The Sixers are a game

0:19:10.359 --> 0:19:13.960
<v Speaker 1>in front of Boston in the Eastern Conference standings. Up

0:19:14.000 --> 0:19:16.159
<v Speaker 1>next with the seventy Sixers a game with the Utah

0:19:16.280 --> 0:19:20.440
<v Speaker 1>Jazz on Thursday night from Vivin SmartHome Arena. That game

0:19:20.520 --> 0:19:23.280
<v Speaker 1>is ten to thirty Eastern, as the Sixers begin to

0:19:23.320 --> 0:19:26.520
