Speaker 1: This is a playoff edition of seventy six Ers Rewind
Speaker 1: presented by Geico. Time Now to listen back to reaction
Speaker 1: from the team's most recent postseason game six to Take
Speaker 1: Game three of the Eastern Conference playoffs, and Divine gives
Speaker 1: with you on the Sixties postgame show here on the
Speaker 1: Sixties Radio Network. Let's get to the winning head coach
Speaker 1: Bret Brown meltdown at the end of the third period
Speaker 1: that they went on that run and kind of sat
Speaker 1: on the zone and we didn't handle that well. But
Speaker 1: short of that particular phase of the game, I thought
Speaker 1: Ben was exceptional. You know, they started trying to foul him.
Speaker 1: I think at that point he had not missed a
Speaker 1: free throw and he didn't miss the two after they
Speaker 1: intentionally fouled him, but then he made another two to
Speaker 1: follow it up. And so whether you look at you know,
Speaker 1: his confidence, his body language, just walk into a line,
Speaker 1: or the things that you're talking about, Mike with you know,
Speaker 1: sort of just organic play. I give Ben a tremendous
Speaker 1: amount of credit. We needed it all tonight, especially without Joel.
Speaker 1: You heard Ben get booed every time he touched the ball.
Speaker 1: There was the comments made that his half court game
Speaker 1: was average and he's nine for eleven in the half
Speaker 1: court How much do you think those things fueled him?
Speaker 1: And how impressed were you with the way he came out.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's sort of like I said to the
Speaker 1: group prior to the game, I think we forget he's
Speaker 1: twenty two years old, and you know, we see we
Speaker 1: started talking about the growth and his jump shot and
Speaker 1: all this stuff everybody talks about. Then you see him
Speaker 1: come out and make the free throws and you know,
Speaker 1: whether he's getting booed or there's something else going on
Speaker 1: as it relates to, you know, some level of scrutinizing Ben.
Speaker 1: He's incredibly confident within himself. He has put in a
Speaker 1: tremendous amount of work, apart from being just pretty down
Speaker 1: good to earn that privilege. And I'm just so happy
Speaker 1: for him to play like he played tonight. And especially
Speaker 1: when you zoom into the free throw line to make
Speaker 1: free throws in the NBA playoffs and have what thirty
Speaker 1: one points and shoot the percentage that he did, I
Speaker 1: think he feeds off that. But it's not like he's
Speaker 1: out beating his chest over. I think internally he's got
Speaker 1: tremendous in a confidence to get a six points from
Speaker 1: your top three guys after well, yeah, and you know
Speaker 1: what they gave you guys tonight. Tobias was a bell ringer.
Speaker 1: Ben easily could have been the bell ringer. You know.
Speaker 1: You start looking at Tobias's rebounds and what he did
Speaker 1: from the three point line, and I think, um, you know, Jimmy,
Speaker 1: the maturity that he had in JJ just coming out.
Speaker 1: There was a stretch there where you know, JJ came
Speaker 1: out and hit a three, then Tobias came right back.
Speaker 1: We sort of had the same look, the same type
Speaker 1: of play with wrinkles out of it. And really the
Speaker 1: players talked about this on the bench and one of
Speaker 1: one of my timeouts, one of our timeouts, where I
Speaker 1: came back with a notion and they said, that's fine,
Speaker 1: but we think this. I said, let's do both back
Speaker 1: to back. And I think that you know, did to
Speaker 1: listen to JJ and Tobias and Jimmy, you know, carry
Speaker 1: on a conversation on the bench. It was high level,
Speaker 1: like you know, pros talking to pros. And I thought
Speaker 1: that those three to you a point. You know, we've
Speaker 1: already discussed Ben. I thought that they were exceptional tonight.
Speaker 1: You had a chance to happen to have very often
Speaker 1: so that they because does that depth of scoring options
Speaker 1: separating this team and maybe even the six years team
Speaker 1: of last year, you didn't have these weapons at your disposal. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that many points without Mbati employment. Yeah. Um, we had
Speaker 1: different types of scorers last year, and and they were
Speaker 1: reliant on the past. The team that we had last
Speaker 1: year was very reliant on being freed up. They were
Speaker 1: reliant on player and ball movement screening for Rosanna dario
Speaker 1: A Coved And like these guys that we have this
Speaker 1: year can can play by themselves. They really can create
Speaker 1: by themselves. I still when we talk about our offense,
Speaker 1: I still am most excited that I think we're planning
Speaker 1: most times high level defense, and I feel like that
Speaker 1: we're completely biting on a game plan. We were starting
Speaker 1: to like understand what we're trying to achieve. And I
Speaker 1: give the guys credit, but I think more than that anything, Jack,
Speaker 1: I think this scoring is proportional to odd defense, right,
Speaker 1: you guys were? That was Sixers head coach, the winning
Speaker 1: head coach of game number three for the Philadelphia seventy Sixers,
Speaker 1: Brett Brown once again, Welcome to the Sixers Postgame Show
Speaker 1: Playoff edition here on the Sixers Radio Network. I am
Speaker 1: Divine Gibbons with you as we break down this victory
Speaker 1: to take a two one series lead in Game number
Speaker 1: three in Brooklyn, led by Ben Simmons, JJ Reddick, Tobias Harris,
Speaker 1: and a cast of others as they helped contribute in
Speaker 1: this victory to take this two to one lead in
Speaker 1: the first round of the Eastern Conference playoff series. No
Speaker 1: Joel Embiad obviously the story to start things off a
Speaker 1: game time decision, and it came down just a few
Speaker 1: minutes before the actual tip that he would miss this game.
Speaker 1: We know he's dealing with load management in the right
Speaker 1: knee injury right now where they're trying to monitor his
Speaker 1: knee and make sure everything is okay. We'll get the
Speaker 1: status of him, I'm sure maybe tomorrow. Between today and
Speaker 1: the game number four back in Brooklyn on Saturday, we
Speaker 1: will find out about Joel Ebiad's availability. In his place
Speaker 1: tonight was Greg Munroe, but again the story being the
Speaker 1: other four starters in the starting lineup, led by Ben
Speaker 1: Simmons with a playoff career high thirty one points nine
Speaker 1: assists and four rebounds on the evening, three turnovers and
Speaker 1: thirty eight minutes, a team high thirty eight minutes and
Speaker 1: twenty seven seconds, actually a game high thirty eight minutes
Speaker 1: and twenty seven seconds. And he was phenomenal coming out again,
Speaker 1: answering the bell, answering the call when once young star
Speaker 1: goes down, the other one steps up and gives you
Speaker 1: contributions across the board eleven to thirteen from the field,
Speaker 1: and as Brett Brown pointed out, once Kenny Atkinson and
Speaker 1: the Brooklyn Nets decided to hack of Ben, he had
Speaker 1: not missed a free throw at that point, missing the
Speaker 1: first two on that strategy by the Brooklyn Nets, but
Speaker 1: then following up and connecting on the next four. Therefore
Speaker 1: Bacchi putting a nail into the strategy of Kenny Atkinson
Speaker 1: and the Brooklyn Nets, finishing the night nine of eleven
Speaker 1: from the free throw line. Just a phenomenal performance by
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons, stepping up. With all the conversation going on
Speaker 1: between the Brooklyn Nets and the seventy sixers, more so
Speaker 1: on the net side, about the disrespect therefore from Ben
Speaker 1: Simmons and the seventy sixers for some things that may
Speaker 1: have happened in game number two. We'll get Jimmy Butler
Speaker 1: to Buys Harrison, JJ Reddick as well in their contributions.
Speaker 1: Boba Marianovitch solid once again off the bench, but we're
Speaker 1: gonna take a quick break. Come right back, connect with
Speaker 1: the man who called the game, called a great game
Speaker 1: at Barclay's Center for the seventy six Ers one thirty one,
Speaker 1: one fifteen win. That would be Tom Aguinnis once again.
Speaker 1: One thirty one, one fifteen is the final score. Sixers
Speaker 1: take a two one series lead in the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Speaker 1: We will come back and connect with Tom at Barclay's
Speaker 1: right here on the Sixers Radio network. As we watch
Speaker 1: the suburban garden nome carefully, carefully without disturbing it. He
Speaker 1: noticed that it moves like not at all. It's inanimate
Speaker 1: and utterly without brain function. But despite that, when a
Speaker 1: garden know me. Here's about how Geico not only saves
Speaker 1: people money but also gives them access to license stagents
Speaker 1: twenty four seven online and over the phone. It's clear
Speaker 1: to them you should switch, because yes, switching to Geiko
Speaker 1: is a no brainer. But on second thoughts, maybe don't
Speaker 1: watch Garden Nomes two. Carefully, people might talk Sixers take
Speaker 1: a two one series league that due to a one
Speaker 1: thirty one, one fifteen victory over the Brooklyn that's in
Speaker 1: game number three in Brooklyn, New York at Barclay's Center,
Speaker 1: Divine Givens. This is the Sixers postgame show here on
Speaker 1: the Sixers Radio Network, and it's always great to connect
Speaker 1: reconnect with the man, the radio voice of the Philadelphia
Speaker 1: seventy Sixers, especially after he win a big one like
Speaker 1: this one. And Tom mc ginnis joins us live from
Speaker 1: Barclay's Center. Time. We know the story right at the
Speaker 1: start of the game, the availability or not of Joel
Speaker 1: Ebid And as we looked at the other players, the guys,
Speaker 1: the other stars that are in a starting lineup with
Speaker 1: them to step up, you can point out the next
Speaker 1: four guys in that starting lineup, which certainly did just
Speaker 1: that well for sure. And I thought Harris getting after
Speaker 1: a good start and making those threes, and you know,
Speaker 1: that's kind of the Tobias Harris. We got accustomed to
Speaker 1: the Sixers acquire me shooting forty percent from three, ended
Speaker 1: up shooting that for the year. And you know, those
Speaker 1: first two games weren't really indicative of that, and tonight
Speaker 1: he was perfect six of six in terms of attempts
Speaker 1: from beyond the arc. Sixers went to JJ, and again
Speaker 1: JJ's so effective. He went five of nine and really
Speaker 1: running Joe Harris out of the play, sidestepping defenders. He
Speaker 1: just did an excellent job making some very difficult shots.
Speaker 1: In terms of JJ Reddick and I thought Jimmy was
Speaker 1: effective early on, didn't score that well, but getting people involved.
Speaker 1: And then Ben Harris what you like to see early
Speaker 1: on with the exact same intensity and aggressiveness in driving
Speaker 1: that ball to the basket early in the game, and
Speaker 1: it set a tone and you know, as you watch
Speaker 1: that game ten times or multiple times devon, the Sixers
Speaker 1: had ten point leads and I thought that was again
Speaker 1: they controlled the game. Now. I felt there were times
Speaker 1: in the first half what it seemed like the Sixers
Speaker 1: might have led by more and could have taken more
Speaker 1: advantage of ineffective play by Brooklyn, but it still was
Speaker 1: a six point halftime lead. They take that big lead
Speaker 1: in the third, let it slip back a little bit.
Speaker 1: You gave them some momentum. But to me, it's it's
Speaker 1: so impressive when a team can re establish itself and
Speaker 1: re jump that lead into double figures and then put
Speaker 1: it away that that's exactly what the Sixers did here,
Speaker 1: particularly on the road in a playoff game, that is
Speaker 1: most impressive and time. You're right, And of course we
Speaker 1: know how Ben Simmons responded in the last game in
Speaker 1: game number two back at the center with the triple
Speaker 1: double and the aggressive approach that he took to set
Speaker 1: the tone early, and he did the same thing similarly
Speaker 1: here tonight. But I like also how Brett Brown went
Speaker 1: to Jimmy Butler early to kind of start the offense
Speaker 1: for them to allow Ben Simmons to also get going.
Speaker 1: He had eight responded with eight points in the first quarter. Well,
Speaker 1: Jimmy's a more than capable ball handler and play initiator,
Speaker 1: if you will, And you know that's often been the
Speaker 1: case when Ben goes out, where Jimmy kind of takes
Speaker 1: over the offense. And you know, obviously that's what Brett
Speaker 1: Brown was talking about when he said in the playoffs,
Speaker 1: the rotation gets shorter. Now in the regular season, that's
Speaker 1: probably TJ McConnell coming in there and spelling Ben but
Speaker 1: that and I think the Sixers were effective. Even though
Speaker 1: James Ennis did not have a big game. He had
Speaker 1: four points. But Mike Scott and Ennis have really helped
Speaker 1: the Sixers in ways defensively. And again, you know Denwendy.
Speaker 1: I thought then when he had a bit of an
Speaker 1: off game fifteen points, I thought, and that might be
Speaker 1: attributable to those guys that I'm talking about. I thought
Speaker 1: then when he made some actual poor decisions where he
Speaker 1: had some chots and then try to take it a
Speaker 1: dribble too many or make a pass when it was
Speaker 1: right there. And quite frankly, I think the same could
Speaker 1: be said for Jimmy Butler. He went six and thirteen
Speaker 1: in the game, which is not all that bad, just
Speaker 1: under fifty percent. But I thought early on he'd get
Speaker 1: a pocket of an opening and not shoot him. So
Speaker 1: there are times that I think Jimmy Butler needs to
Speaker 1: be a little bit more, and it's not really selfish
Speaker 1: because it's for the benefit of the team, but call
Speaker 1: his own number. Because he's so capable, and you watched
Speaker 1: Von he was spinning, he was on fire, he was
Speaker 1: rearer to go. He played a good overall game, but
Speaker 1: I thought he might have been able to score the
Speaker 1: ball a little bit. So all of those things combined
Speaker 1: added it up to a very impressive road victory for
Speaker 1: the Sixers, absolutely and only one turnover with all the
Speaker 1: contribution that he made with the ball in his hands.
Speaker 1: Time again his life from Barclays Center. After the Sixers
Speaker 1: win one thirty one, one fifteen, take a two one
Speaker 1: series lead, and of course time, as you pointed out,
Speaker 1: the defense on the perimeters, still trying to figure out Russell,
Speaker 1: Den Willie and Leverton Carris. Lavert in particular, really went
Speaker 1: off in that second quarter where he just went on
Speaker 1: his own personal scoring streak. Still some small little details,
Speaker 1: even though the Sixers have improved small little details to
Speaker 1: try to contain these guys so it doesn't hurt them
Speaker 1: in the future in these games. Well, I agree, And
Speaker 1: if I'm Kenny Atkins said, maybe I put Lavert in
Speaker 1: there or not, Joe Harris, I mean, Lavert had twenty
Speaker 1: six points and you know he didn't score in the
Speaker 1: first quarter, he had nineteen in the second quarter, and
Speaker 1: you know, lucky for the Sixers only had seven. I
Speaker 1: don't know how much that kids. He's unbelievable. He is
Speaker 1: really good. And Russell had an up and down game.
Speaker 1: Look at Russell, twenty six attempts, he makes a dozen,
Speaker 1: two of which come late. He had seven in a row,
Speaker 1: I mean, and then the guy I thought, like I said,
Speaker 1: didn't win a bit of an off game. So all
Speaker 1: three of those guys in double figures, I mean, Russell
Speaker 1: and Lavert combined for fifty two points, so that's a
Speaker 1: pretty big total. They had one hundred and fifteen that's
Speaker 1: more than they scored in the regular season on average.
Speaker 1: So it wasn't really their offense, but it was the
Speaker 1: fact that they couldn't stop the Sixers, I mean, one
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty one points after giving up one hundred
Speaker 1: and forty five, and you think that's an anomaly, and
Speaker 1: you know they come right back and give up one
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty one. So again I say this with
Speaker 1: all due respect, but it's been written about, talked about.
Speaker 1: The Sixers have more talent than Brooklyn. And look, they
Speaker 1: finished up with a lot better record, fifty one wins
Speaker 1: as opposed to forty two, and it's evident in this series,
Speaker 1: and they were able to beat them without the best
Speaker 1: player in the game for either team, and that is
Speaker 1: joelbin beat So for the Sixers. You know, hopefully you
Speaker 1: get you well back. But boy, at any point you
Speaker 1: cannot relax because Brooklyn again they did not look nearly
Speaker 1: as competitive against the Sixers as they did in the
Speaker 1: first game in which they won here, or the two
Speaker 1: games and that they beat the Sixers, but you cannot
Speaker 1: count them out. There's no way. And until you win
Speaker 1: two more games, you cannot in any way relax. And
Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying. You cannot let human nature come
Speaker 1: in and think, all right, now we got to beat
Speaker 1: it is going to be Battle Royal game four here Saturday,
Speaker 1: and you got to take care of business and see
Speaker 1: if you can't win the game here and then potentially
Speaker 1: go home and win the series on Tuesday night. But
Speaker 1: you got to win this game on the because the
Speaker 1: Sixers have rested back home court advantage now and they
Speaker 1: did that too, you know when they when they split
Speaker 1: that game and they had the rest of the you know,
Speaker 1: the advantage at home. But now, like I say, you
Speaker 1: put yourself in a position to potentially, you know, win
Speaker 1: out if you can win here Saturday, tom final one.
Speaker 1: As you speak about the game on Saturday, this is
Speaker 1: a familiar territory for the seventy six, the same situation
Speaker 1: last year in the first round, they tied the series,
Speaker 1: won one. Of course, back at home, go to Miami,
Speaker 1: win Game three, Game four. Again, they've been here. Maybe
Speaker 1: joelmbe will be available, maybe not, but they did take
Speaker 1: that commanding three one lead, closing it out in Game
Speaker 1: five in Philadelphia. I'm sure Brett Brown will bring some
Speaker 1: of that back up as to what happened last year,
Speaker 1: and looking to this particular situation against the Brooklyn Nets, well,
Speaker 1: no doubt, and you certainly have some holdovers from that group,
Speaker 1: but it is a new dynamic. And one thing that's
Speaker 1: noteworthy regarding Joel he did address the media prior to
Speaker 1: the game and he said his knee is getting better
Speaker 1: so to me. Now, so he misses tonight and he'll
Speaker 1: have not played from Monday to Saturday, and you know,
Speaker 1: as you're trying to rest that thing and hope that
Speaker 1: tend nitish flares down a little bit. If that's a
Speaker 1: medical phrase, which I'm pretty sure it's not it is,
Speaker 1: but you know, he it's a little bit more respite
Speaker 1: as he rehabs and gets ready. He did shoot around
Speaker 1: prior to the game, but absolutely in terms of the
Speaker 1: series and the shape of it. Obviously, the Sixers lost
Speaker 1: a second game in that first round deal last year.
Speaker 1: But as you say, the opportunity is there and it
Speaker 1: certainly could take the shape of that. But you gotta
Speaker 1: everything's different, everything's you know, new, and and you're here
Speaker 1: in Brooklyn and they didn't play that well, you gotta
Speaker 1: expect them to play a little bit better. They didn't
Speaker 1: get much at all from Carol and Coup Roots. They're
Speaker 1: starting forwards in this game. Jared Dudley brought them nothing.
Speaker 1: Ed Davis barely played. So the Sixers, you know, with
Speaker 1: Bomon playing the way, but how about Bobon You can't
Speaker 1: discount the fact that he was a real integral player
Speaker 1: in this game. And it was just an overall so
Speaker 1: they had a lot of really good performances for the
Speaker 1: Sixers and that's how they came away with this win
Speaker 1: one fifty. Well, as you said, Town, we look forward
Speaker 1: to game number four on Saturday and listening to your
Speaker 1: call as we hopefully get a three one commanding lead
Speaker 1: in the series bringing it back to Philadelphia on Tuesday.
Speaker 1: All right, Davon, thank you and good night, Tom, have
Speaker 1: a good night time again his live from Barclays Center
Speaker 1: again Sixers victorious one thirty one, one fifteen over the
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Nets in Brooklyn, the first time Brooklyn has hosted
Speaker 1: a playoff game in quite some time, and it was
Speaker 1: a good one. It was a good one as the
Speaker 1: seventy Sixers come away with the win one thirty one,
Speaker 1: one fifteen. On the other side, we will now hear
Speaker 1: from more of Tom again as that be, that being
Speaker 1: the variety of game calls, and there were a lot,
Speaker 1: a lot of good plays by the seventy sixers, and
Speaker 1: we hear are those calls on the other side. This
Speaker 1: is the Sixers post game show. They always told Will
Speaker 1: he was too short to play basketball, but Will never listened.
Speaker 1: We'll let his work ethic do the talking for him.
Speaker 1: Always in a gym, always running drills. Will knew where
Speaker 1: there was a will, there was a way, and he
Speaker 1: was Will. But then after a second child was born,
Speaker 1: he realized the pros were all way better than him.
Speaker 1: So Will gave up and buried his high times in
Speaker 1: a cheerful ceremony. But one day he heard that Geico
Speaker 1: could save him money on car insurance, so he switched
Speaker 1: and saved a bunch which was awesome. Game three goes
Speaker 1: to the Philadelphia seventy Sixers one thirty one one fifteen.
Speaker 1: Sixers take a two one series lead in the Eastern
Speaker 1: Conference quarter Finals. Here, I'm divine givings, This says the
Speaker 1: Sixers postgame show right here on the Sixers radio network
Speaker 1: in his time for the game calls that would be
Speaker 1: of course, sound by Tom McGuinness as they start things off.
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler with the baseline jumper to tie things up
Speaker 1: too to two. Jared Allen very active this evening against
Speaker 1: the seventy Sixers. He gets an offensive rebound in the
Speaker 1: dunk to make it nine to four. Brooklyn Greg Munroe
Speaker 1: from Ben Simmons for layup to make it nine the eight.
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons again starting this game off aggressive driving to
Speaker 1: the basket. Simmons Night seventh on an angle around whu
Speaker 1: Wrot's typical to angle, but he gets it out of
Speaker 1: the run at Ben Simmons scores it. It's a fourteen
Speaker 1: to twelve game. Ben Simmons very good as contorting his
Speaker 1: body in certain ways and hitting these very difficult angles
Speaker 1: for the basket. Again. Fourteen twelve is time again. It's
Speaker 1: just pointed out bobam Marianovitch getting in on the mix
Speaker 1: with an offensive rebound in the dunk. Nineteen seventeen Tobias
Speaker 1: Harris pull up jumper and follow that up with a
Speaker 1: pull up three pointer to make it twenty five. Nineteen Sixers.
Speaker 1: Greg Munroe, starting in place of an injured and resting
Speaker 1: Joel and bead for the hoop outside right ten wenty
Speaker 1: on a try, it gets free again off the glass
Speaker 1: up and oh good. The row with the rebound and
Speaker 1: Row runs at four, goes in at the scores and
Speaker 1: Jared Dudley Sixers make it thirty two twenty four. Then
Speaker 1: roll making an impact at both ends of the four.
Speaker 1: Great patience by Ben Simmons as he pushed the break
Speaker 1: allowed Greg Munroe to fill that lane on the left side.
Speaker 1: The defense did not pay attention in transition, hitting Monroe
Speaker 1: for the layup on the left side of the floor
Speaker 1: again thirty two twenty four. That was the score after one.
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler starts off the quarter with a jumper to
Speaker 1: make it thirty four twenty four, just like he started
Speaker 1: off the scoring for the Sixers in the first. A
Speaker 1: floater by Karis Labert gave him six straight to make
Speaker 1: it thirty four thirty sixers, then a three pointer. A
Speaker 1: little later. Russell goes away from one man, fires for
Speaker 1: three and that's long off the back. Labert gets the rebound.
Speaker 1: Labert first prayer. He's done it again. Paris Labert has
Speaker 1: tied the game at thirty eight a person to a
Speaker 1: streak where he was just on fire, scoring nineteen points
Speaker 1: in the second quarter, tied it up thirty eight thirty eight.
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons with a finished for two at the room
Speaker 1: to take the lead forty to thirty eight. JJ Reddick
Speaker 1: with a three to make it sixty three to fifty three.
Speaker 1: As the seventy sixers started to pull away, Ben Simmons
Speaker 1: closes out the quarter in strong fashion. Six seconds to
Speaker 1: go in the first half, Butler the reddick, JJ turns
Speaker 1: fires Lebb no rebound slap Bet Simmons and he flexes
Speaker 1: first teammates along the bat seven slams. Great anticipation by
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons, finishing in quarter off strong with that dunk,
Speaker 1: sixty five fifty nine to score at the break. Greg
Speaker 1: Monroe with an offensive rebound and a layup to making
Speaker 1: sixty seven sixty one. At the beginning of the third quarter.
Speaker 1: JJ Reddick, as we know, hot tonight from deep, five
Speaker 1: of nine from behind the three point line. Here's one
Speaker 1: of those three pointers. JJ sprints a little upside, catches,
Speaker 1: turns on arrows, gets free shot here by j. J. Cunt. Again,
Speaker 1: here's a master of getting free. JJ Reddick sidesteps Joe
Speaker 1: Harris and another triple. He made it seventy two to
Speaker 1: sixty four. That one right there, following a nets three pointer,
Speaker 1: So back to back threes for Reddick seventy five sixty seven.
Speaker 1: After that one, Tobias Harris with a layup and a
Speaker 1: foul converting the free throw from Ben Simmons seventy eight
Speaker 1: to sixty seven. He did not stop there. He got
Speaker 1: in the mix, of course, very good perfect from behind
Speaker 1: three point line. Here are three of those right here.
Speaker 1: It's a twelve point game to Bias Harris for three
Speaker 1: and that's good. And de'angelo Russell went well underneath the street.
Speaker 1: You better stay connected because to Bias Harris it's perfect
Speaker 1: five for five from three, finishing the night six of
Speaker 1: six from three, four to Buias Harris. I guess de'angelo
Speaker 1: Russell did not read the Scouttering Report eighty four sixty
Speaker 1: nine right there. At that point Carris Lavert again, Spencer
Speaker 1: did Wittie again, getting into the mix, allowing the brooklyn Nets,
Speaker 1: helping the Brooklyn Nets come back Vert with the steal
Speaker 1: in the layup towards the end of the third quarter.
Speaker 1: Simmons finally picks it up at mid court. In the
Speaker 1: late Spencer turns it over. Here's a drive Lavert lay
Speaker 1: up good and brook Letters back going in seventh bad
Speaker 1: turn over by Simmons at that point, spinning into a
Speaker 1: zone where Carris Lavert was simply waiting for him to
Speaker 1: spend anticipated it right, went up the floor for the
Speaker 1: layup ninety seven ninety that again the score after three.
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons, though, makes up for that with an immediate
Speaker 1: steel in the fourth at the start of the fourth
Speaker 1: quarter for a basket. Didn't what they dribbles up almost
Speaker 1: lost that out of the house. Has to jump he
Speaker 1: throws it back Heather six or steal the ball head

Speaker 1: two half stuff din what he saves it? Jj Reddick
Speaker 1: has it, pushes it up to Ben Simmons. That's the
Speaker 1: dunk right there. Butler with a fade away to make
Speaker 1: it one oh five ninety six. D'Angelo Russell inserted into
Speaker 1: the game, scores seven straight with a three point right here,
Speaker 1: Russell weaving, stopping shooting three ball, got it, D'Angelo Russell
Speaker 1: forcing a time out. He's got five in a row.
Speaker 1: It's a six point game. So smooth with how he
Speaker 1: did that just there, one oh five ninety nine to
Speaker 1: buy his Harris with a three point shortly after to
Speaker 1: make it one ten, one on one. Ben Simmons gets passed,
Speaker 1: gets a pass off the dive to the basket, plus
Speaker 1: the foul makes the free throw one seventeen, one oh five.
Speaker 1: But he really puts an exclamation point on the game. Here,
Speaker 1: here's Bet Simmons. They blue by and Simmons with a
Speaker 1: jam that might do it right there. They thought the
Speaker 1: Sixers were gonna hand off the JJ Reddick. That was
Speaker 1: like a quarterback faking that they're keeping it. They do
Speaker 1: so many dribble handoffs that they anticipated. Brooklyn did the
Speaker 1: handoff to JJ Reddick Ben Simmons. The lane opened up
Speaker 1: like the part of Like the Red Sea. He went
Speaker 1: right down for the dunk. One twenty one, one oh
Speaker 1: six a Ben Simmons Steele and a two Jimmy Butler
Speaker 1: for the dunk one twenty seven one ten at that point,
Speaker 1: Sixers win one, thirty one one fifteen. Fantastic game by
Speaker 1: the seventy Sixers on the road in Game number three,
Speaker 1: winning this one in a big margin by sixteen, up
Speaker 1: by as much as eighteen and the third quarter allowing
Speaker 1: the Brooklyn Netts to come back and make this an
Speaker 1: interesting one. But the Sixers do. As Tom again has
Speaker 1: pointed it out, so much talent on this basketball team.
Speaker 1: They played together and they made sure that they separated
Speaker 1: themselves from this tough, tough Brooklyn Nets team to come
Speaker 1: away with the sixteen point victory tonight. One of the
Speaker 1: things that we spoke about on the pregame coverage of
Speaker 1: course with Brian Seltzer and then Tom again the three
Speaker 1: pointers tonight the seventy six Ers a plus three and
Speaker 1: makes for the three pointers tonight versus the Brooklyn Nets
Speaker 1: eleven of twenty seven for the Sixers, eight of thirty
Speaker 1: nine for the Philadelphi for the Brooklyn Nets. And that's
Speaker 1: just a great sign for this basketball team as they
Speaker 1: only made nine in game number two three in game
Speaker 1: number one, so you got those from Tobias Harris six
Speaker 1: for six, JJ Reddick five of nine. No one else
Speaker 1: made one, but that was enough because those two guys
Speaker 1: were dialed in from distance for the seventy sixers. This evening,
Speaker 1: again Greg Monroe in place of Joe ellenbiad four of
Speaker 1: thirteen from the floor, So we got a lot of
Speaker 1: shots up. But you can kind of understand being in
Speaker 1: this situation just really getting himself with this team, having
Speaker 1: the opportunity to try to get some buckets and just
Speaker 1: some missed opportunities there for him. But he did contribute
Speaker 1: in another way with thirteen rebounds. But on the night,
Speaker 1: as we talked about to Buias Harris and his locking
Speaker 1: in from distance and eleven of nineteen from the floor
Speaker 1: overall for his twenty nine points, we cannot ignore a
Speaker 1: game high sixteen rebounds. So when you have your leading
Speaker 1: rebounder out in Joe Ellen bad, you need someone else
Speaker 1: to pick that slack up. Tonight it was Harris with sixteen,
Speaker 1: Monroe in the place, Ovenbat with thirteen, and Boba Marianovic
Speaker 1: contributing eight rebounds on the evening plus the fourteen points
Speaker 1: that you got from the backup center. This evening, So
Speaker 1: an overall team performance collectively together getting this win on
Speaker 1: the road in a tough environment with the Brooklyn Nets.
Speaker 1: Fans were really into things early on and all the
Speaker 1: conversation before the game, but when it all came down
Speaker 1: to it, the teams allowed their play to do the
Speaker 1: talking and the Sixers came away with the victory. One
Speaker 1: thirty one one fifteen. Game number four will be Saturday
Speaker 1: afternoon at three o'clock, same venue, that would be the
Speaker 1: Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, and Tom mcguinnis will
Speaker 1: be on the game called Brian Sell. So of course
Speaker 1: with the pregame coverage you can hear all of that
Speaker 1: action on the Flagship Station ninety seven five the Fanatic

Speaker 1: three to one lead in this series. Come back next
