WEBVTT - Rewind vs. Atlanta Hawks - 10/28/19

0:00:00.280 --> 0:00:03.560
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to rewind to listen back on press conferences,

0:00:03.640 --> 0:00:09.280
<v Speaker 1>highlights and analysis from the seventy sixers previous game. Joel

0:00:09.360 --> 0:00:14.600
<v Speaker 1>Embead was indeed back. The seventy Sixers felt it, and

0:00:14.800 --> 0:00:19.799
<v Speaker 1>boy the Atlanta Hawks shorted too. Seventy Sixers get a

0:00:19.840 --> 0:00:23.080
<v Speaker 1>great win at State Farm Arena and Atlanta one oh

0:00:23.120 --> 0:00:26.320
<v Speaker 1>five one oh three behind dwell embiads thirty six points,

0:00:26.360 --> 0:00:30.600
<v Speaker 1>thirteen rebounds, five dimes, and three steals, and the Sixers

0:00:30.640 --> 0:00:33.800
<v Speaker 1>are now the last unbeaten team in the Eastern Conference.

0:00:33.920 --> 0:00:37.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm Brian Seltzer, and this I believe is Brett Brown. Um.

0:00:38.159 --> 0:00:41.680
<v Speaker 1>You know he he started the game so well. We

0:00:41.720 --> 0:00:45.280
<v Speaker 1>needed to find Nanco because what was the adjustment that

0:00:45.280 --> 0:00:48.000
<v Speaker 1>you guys made. You were down early in the first

0:00:48.000 --> 0:00:49.240
<v Speaker 1>half of you were able to kind of get it

0:00:49.400 --> 0:00:53.160
<v Speaker 1>closer at the custom to halfwards adjustments you make really

0:00:53.200 --> 0:00:55.680
<v Speaker 1>just trying to do what we said we were going

0:00:55.760 --> 0:00:59.480
<v Speaker 1>to do better. And it starts with, you know, pick

0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:03.400
<v Speaker 1>and roll d offense with Trey. It starts with pickup points?

0:01:03.440 --> 0:01:05.520
<v Speaker 1>How far up the quote we want to try to

0:01:05.760 --> 0:01:08.600
<v Speaker 1>impose our will. It starts with what do you want

0:01:08.640 --> 0:01:11.560
<v Speaker 1>to do? You know, defending like sad out of bounds defense,

0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:15.760
<v Speaker 1>making it difficult to find stuff easy. We tried to

0:01:15.840 --> 0:01:19.720
<v Speaker 1>stalk Trey. We tried to, you know, just make his

0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:23.800
<v Speaker 1>life sort of a war of attrition, if you will.

0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:29.679
<v Speaker 1>And I give Atlanta credit. I think that Lloyd does

0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:33.399
<v Speaker 1>a great job with them, and the kids respond to Lloyd,

0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:36.920
<v Speaker 1>and I give them credit. They played very well. Three

0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:39.039
<v Speaker 1>point shooting was a struggle again the night. Was that

0:01:39.560 --> 0:01:42.080
<v Speaker 1>just missing good looks or was some of the offense

0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:45.480
<v Speaker 1>not being run the right way? It was probably not many,

0:01:45.520 --> 0:01:48.040
<v Speaker 1>but there would have been, say a handful you you

0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:52.040
<v Speaker 1>you wish you could have back, Not so much because

0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:54.560
<v Speaker 1>they were they were forced threes, just they were probably

0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:58.360
<v Speaker 1>for me too early in o'clock, and we didn't sort of,

0:01:58.560 --> 0:02:02.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, test sort of the waters with Joel enough.

0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:05.680
<v Speaker 1>I think that when you do throw it into Joel,

0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:08.200
<v Speaker 1>they do a good job of double teaming him. At

0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:10.560
<v Speaker 1>that point you're going to have to make threes. But

0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:13.400
<v Speaker 1>early in the clock there were probably a few you

0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:16.760
<v Speaker 1>wished you wished you head back. Other than that, I

0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:19.959
<v Speaker 1>think we took the one shots that the game told

0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:22.760
<v Speaker 1>us to take. Joe got double pretty heavily out. How

0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:25.720
<v Speaker 1>do you think he handled that. UM, I think he

0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:28.040
<v Speaker 1>did a pretty good job. Like his turnovers, I think

0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:32.639
<v Speaker 1>he ended up with seven M. It would it might

0:02:32.680 --> 0:02:35.280
<v Speaker 1>not reflect my opinion that I think he did quite well.

0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:38.600
<v Speaker 1>I think I think in general, you know, him trying

0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:41.600
<v Speaker 1>to find people and us trying to space and in

0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:45.839
<v Speaker 1>places that he knew where resultlets were was decent. It's

0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:50.239
<v Speaker 1>still a work in progress. UM, But I think by

0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:52.640
<v Speaker 1>and large, I thought he did a good job of

0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:55.120
<v Speaker 1>trying to get the ball deep and responded to his

0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:59.360
<v Speaker 1>double teams better. I wouldn't say it's an A, but

0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:03.280
<v Speaker 1>it's not a not a C. Seventy sixers start a

0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:06.000
<v Speaker 1>season three and ozho for the first time since that man.

0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:09.079
<v Speaker 1>Brett Brown was in his first week as a head coach.

0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:11.960
<v Speaker 1>Nice win at State Farm Arena for the seventy six

0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:14.960
<v Speaker 1>ers one oh five, one h three. Joel embiid thirty

0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:19.080
<v Speaker 1>six points, thirteen rebounds, five dimes, and three steals in

0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:21.840
<v Speaker 1>thirty two minutes, twelve of nineteen from the field. He

0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:25.360
<v Speaker 1>was ten for ten from the free throw line, including

0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:27.560
<v Speaker 1>a four for four effort from the stripe in the

0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:30.680
<v Speaker 1>fourth quarter. He scored eleven of his thirty six points

0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:33.720
<v Speaker 1>in the fourth and you, of course go straight to

0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:36.800
<v Speaker 1>the plays that won the game, which were those two

0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:39.680
<v Speaker 1>free throws with Embiid at the line for the seventy Sixers,

0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:43.280
<v Speaker 1>putting them in front with five point three seconds to go.

0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:47.760
<v Speaker 1>The Sixers survive a desperation three point he from Vince

0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:50.840
<v Speaker 1>Carter at the buzzer, a really nice play. The Sixers

0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:53.120
<v Speaker 1>drew up after Atlanta tied the score at one oh

0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:56.120
<v Speaker 1>three one oh three with seven point four seconds to go,

0:03:56.240 --> 0:03:58.720
<v Speaker 1>Ben simmons inbounded the ball up top to Al Horford,

0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:02.280
<v Speaker 1>who then threw it inside to Embad and Embid was

0:04:02.320 --> 0:04:04.680
<v Speaker 1>fouled by John Collins went to the line where he

0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:07.680
<v Speaker 1>was able to put the game away. But such a

0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:10.119
<v Speaker 1>terrific luxury, not only to have him bead back out

0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:12.000
<v Speaker 1>there he of course missed Saturday's game with the right

0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:16.440
<v Speaker 1>ankle sprain, but to have a man of that size, strength, physicality,

0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:19.479
<v Speaker 1>versatility who's also able to go to the line and

0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:24.040
<v Speaker 1>hit his free throws ten for ten, huge, vital, pivotal,

0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:27.840
<v Speaker 1>how everyone to describe it. In the Sixers win tonight,

0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:32.200
<v Speaker 1>Sixers had to battlesome adversity. They lost Mike Scott early

0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:35.080
<v Speaker 1>in the game due to a flagrant two. That man

0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:38.760
<v Speaker 1>he was ejected from the contest, so they were shorthanded

0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:43.240
<v Speaker 1>one from that standpoint, and then Shake Milton hyper extended

0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:46.359
<v Speaker 1>his knee. He had nine points in twelve minutes. He

0:04:46.400 --> 0:04:49.680
<v Speaker 1>did not return, So the Sixers were a little bit

0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:52.760
<v Speaker 1>hamstrung from there, so to speak in terms of their depth,

0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:54.840
<v Speaker 1>but they were able to fight their way through it.

0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:58.560
<v Speaker 1>The Sixers on this road trip at Detroit and at Atlanta,

0:04:58.640 --> 0:05:00.880
<v Speaker 1>they were able to grind ou out wins in the

0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:04.159
<v Speaker 1>second half, showing some resiliency, and tonight they did it

0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:07.640
<v Speaker 1>with Joel embiad back in the lineup fourteen points and

0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:10.920
<v Speaker 1>five rebounds to go with three assists and a bunch

0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:15.200
<v Speaker 1>of deflections for Josh Richardson, he also had three blocked shots.

0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:19.599
<v Speaker 1>Ben Simmons finished with thirteen point six rebounds, six assists,

0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:23.799
<v Speaker 1>and thirteen four Tobias Harris Harris also with five boards

0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:28.000
<v Speaker 1>and five dimes. Seventy Sixers went in Atlanta one oh five,

0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:30.040
<v Speaker 1>one oh three. The two teams entered the night with

0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:32.640
<v Speaker 1>a pair of wins in their first two games. Now

0:05:32.640 --> 0:05:35.400
<v Speaker 1>the seventy Sixers are the last undefeated team in the

0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:39.680
<v Speaker 1>Eastern Conference at three and oh seventy six Ers overcome

0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:42.479
<v Speaker 1>the Atlanta Hawks one oh five, one oh three. Joel

0:05:42.520 --> 0:05:45.839
<v Speaker 1>Embid thirty six points thirteen rebounds. His free throws with

0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:49.080
<v Speaker 1>five point three seconds to go in regulation sealed the

0:05:49.120 --> 0:05:51.800
<v Speaker 1>game for the seventy sixers. I'm Brian Selzer. Tom McGinnis

0:05:51.839 --> 0:05:55.080
<v Speaker 1>was at State Farm Arena tonight. Certainly nice time to

0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:58.160
<v Speaker 1>have the big man back in the mix, no doubt

0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:01.560
<v Speaker 1>about it. It just shows what a matchup nightmare he

0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:05.159
<v Speaker 1>is for the opposition. And you know, Alex Lenz certainly

0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:07.960
<v Speaker 1>has the size, but he got an early foul difficulty.

0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:10.000
<v Speaker 1>They don't know that he has the mobility. And then

0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:12.800
<v Speaker 1>they had a much undersized John Collins on him and

0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:16.839
<v Speaker 1>they were trying to double him, and just Joel was

0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:19.960
<v Speaker 1>just too good. And it's just amazing that Donkey had

0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:23.279
<v Speaker 1>and some of the plays he makes, you know with

0:06:23.360 --> 0:06:26.479
<v Speaker 1>his feet that it's just again like it's incredible to

0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:29.159
<v Speaker 1>see a guy of that size but to have that

0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:32.120
<v Speaker 1>agility and the side step defenders and still had the

0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:34.599
<v Speaker 1>finesse and a touch around the basket to score the ball.

0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:36.000
<v Speaker 1>And then as you say, to go to the line

0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:38.600
<v Speaker 1>and be so dependable and perfect at the line and

0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:40.440
<v Speaker 1>in fact, to make two free throws to win the

0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:44.039
<v Speaker 1>game is a huge advantage for the Sixers one O five,

0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:46.560
<v Speaker 1>one or three Sixers win it. A game time in

0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:49.680
<v Speaker 1>which the Atlanta Hawks they raced out to an early start.

0:06:49.760 --> 0:06:53.760
<v Speaker 1>Trey Young in particular, had the seventy Sixers on their heels.

0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:56.560
<v Speaker 1>He scored eleven points in the first I believe it

0:06:56.720 --> 0:07:00.920
<v Speaker 1>was six to seven minutes of regulation, and then after

0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:03.080
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers brought m Matis stayble, I kind of thought

0:07:03.120 --> 0:07:06.880
<v Speaker 1>he threw Young off a little bit, made him more uncomfortable,

0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:09.480
<v Speaker 1>and from there the Sixers for the most part seemed

0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:11.880
<v Speaker 1>to have him under wraps for the rest of the game. Yeah,

0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:13.720
<v Speaker 1>and Ben in the end did a good job on

0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:17.679
<v Speaker 1>him too, So I guess you'd have to really almost

0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:22.240
<v Speaker 1>get a coach's perspective, because I thought it must have

0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:26.560
<v Speaker 1>been the defense. But I just thought his mindset change

0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:28.960
<v Speaker 1>in terms of like I said, he did take those

0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:31.680
<v Speaker 1>runners where he gets a little bit ahead of the

0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:35.320
<v Speaker 1>defender and gets to the file line, and again it's

0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:40.360
<v Speaker 1>like a running fifteen foot lay up a floater and

0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:43.240
<v Speaker 1>missed some of those, but he was really looking to

0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:47.280
<v Speaker 1>facilitate more down the stretch when early in the game.

0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:49.840
<v Speaker 1>He looked unstoppable, like a guy who was averaging thirty

0:07:49.840 --> 0:07:53.080
<v Speaker 1>eight plus points per game. And then he you know,

0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:54.760
<v Speaker 1>he went to the corners a couple of times with

0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:58.840
<v Speaker 1>lenn and DeAndre Hunter. So yeah, you have to credit

0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:01.240
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers. And then again point I may where Atlanta

0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:04.160
<v Speaker 1>scored forty points in the first quarter, and it wasn't

0:08:04.200 --> 0:08:06.200
<v Speaker 1>just Trey Young, but it was Collins. He opened the

0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:08.920
<v Speaker 1>game with a wide open three, he had their first five,

0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:12.400
<v Speaker 1>if I'm not mistaken. But then they only scored thirty

0:08:12.400 --> 0:08:16.880
<v Speaker 1>eight points in the entire second half. So again, turnovers

0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:19.600
<v Speaker 1>were a big thing. I mean, both teams lost a

0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:24.280
<v Speaker 1>number of opportunities with twenty plus turnovers. But yeah, Young

0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:28.080
<v Speaker 1>is he's a handful, and I thought he was going

0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:31.240
<v Speaker 1>to dominate the game nineteen. You know, he was on

0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:34.920
<v Speaker 1>target for another potentially forty point night, but the Sixers

0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:36.959
<v Speaker 1>were able to do a good job and swarm a

0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:40.640
<v Speaker 1>little a little bit and slow him down. You know, Tom,

0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:42.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to you know, it's three games and

0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:46.240
<v Speaker 1>perhaps put an unfair amount if you can even call

0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:49.400
<v Speaker 1>this praise on a young guy like Matisse Staibel, but

0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:52.839
<v Speaker 1>it's to me, it's so amazing that. It's like these

0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:55.240
<v Speaker 1>teams maybe they just have to to sense what he's

0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:58.839
<v Speaker 1>doing defensively first, Like he comes in there immediately and

0:08:59.160 --> 0:09:02.760
<v Speaker 1>he causes disruption and have it. Can are you seeing

0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:04.520
<v Speaker 1>that way a and can you remember the last time

0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:07.440
<v Speaker 1>you saw someone quite like that just jump into the

0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:10.720
<v Speaker 1>mix and have that type of impact so quickly. Yeah, no,

0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:15.120
<v Speaker 1>not necessarily, you know, defensively and not at that age.

0:09:15.600 --> 0:09:19.000
<v Speaker 1>And then like tonight, you know he was Coach Brown

0:09:19.040 --> 0:09:21.200
<v Speaker 1>told him shooting. This is what he told the media pregame,

0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:23.640
<v Speaker 1>so you know, he told the Matistas and that his

0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:26.160
<v Speaker 1>shoot open threes. Take every open three, and he made

0:09:26.160 --> 0:09:29.800
<v Speaker 1>two of them. And now he just gets a lot

0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:32.560
<v Speaker 1>of he gets his hands on a lot of balls.

0:09:32.600 --> 0:09:34.839
<v Speaker 1>He's you know, really everything we've talked about since he

0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:37.560
<v Speaker 1>started playing in the preseason, even in the summer league,

0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:41.000
<v Speaker 1>and that's what he came build as. And you know

0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:44.120
<v Speaker 1>that you'll back over the years, Bruce Bowen certainly comes

0:09:44.160 --> 0:09:48.880
<v Speaker 1>to mind, going way back. You know, like the Bucks

0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:55.280
<v Speaker 1>had a player from years ago, Andre rob His name

0:09:55.400 --> 0:09:58.400
<v Speaker 1>escapes me, but the same that that just totally reeks

0:09:58.400 --> 0:10:00.600
<v Speaker 1>ha it. Gary Payton was certainly scot They Pippen, some

0:10:00.679 --> 0:10:03.040
<v Speaker 1>of these guys with you know, some of the best

0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:08.040
<v Speaker 1>defensive pedigrees you could ever think of. And this batist

0:10:08.280 --> 0:10:11.079
<v Speaker 1>comes in and he just he's able to do things

0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:13.360
<v Speaker 1>like that tip ball. He busted up a pick and

0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:17.600
<v Speaker 1>roll and led to a runout for Ben and you know,

0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:19.520
<v Speaker 1>it's it's there's so many things to it where he

0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:21.560
<v Speaker 1>doesn't allow a team to get in their offense, or

0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:24.120
<v Speaker 1>he makes a guy take more difficult contested shots. I mean,

0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:28.080
<v Speaker 1>it's a proven fact that percentages go down with contested shots.

0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:31.440
<v Speaker 1>Coach Pierce was talking about that from their end, but

0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:35.760
<v Speaker 1>that holds true at every level. And Thieble just, you know,

0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:39.160
<v Speaker 1>in multiple ways effects how the Sixers are able to

0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:43.400
<v Speaker 1>guard because of his ability. Six Ers over Atlanta one

0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:45.600
<v Speaker 1>oh five, one h three, dwell and be thirty six

0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:49.120
<v Speaker 1>and thirteen and now Tom This sets up another intriguing

0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:53.319
<v Speaker 1>first week matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves at the Center

0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:55.920
<v Speaker 1>seven o'clock, final game for the seventy sixers before they

0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:58.960
<v Speaker 1>set out on a four game early early season Western

0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:01.360
<v Speaker 1>Conference road trip. T Wolves are three and out and

0:11:01.360 --> 0:11:05.000
<v Speaker 1>they're not playing until Wednesday. Now, they've been really good.

0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:07.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean, these two young players in terms of Karl

0:11:07.760 --> 0:11:10.199
<v Speaker 1>Anthony Towns and Wiggins, and you know, a lot of

0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:12.520
<v Speaker 1>people have been kind of piling on Wiggins a little bit,

0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:15.320
<v Speaker 1>and that for him was a big moment. I believe

0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:17.360
<v Speaker 1>it was last night where he had three threes in

0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:21.600
<v Speaker 1>a row and he's got all kinds of talent, and Towns,

0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:23.920
<v Speaker 1>from what you can sense early on, is playing, you

0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:26.720
<v Speaker 1>know in the MVP conversation with how well he's played.

0:11:26.800 --> 0:11:30.360
<v Speaker 1>So Minnesota has not done a lot of things in

0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:33.560
<v Speaker 1>recent years, but they've all had the Sixers and the Wolves.

0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:36.520
<v Speaker 1>It's been closed for a little while and it should

0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:39.360
<v Speaker 1>be an excellent matchup within b. Towns has been in

0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:42.720
<v Speaker 1>foul difficulty at times against the Sixers, but that should

0:11:42.760 --> 0:11:46.160
<v Speaker 1>be you know, when your team, the Sixers is this good,

0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:50.120
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of marquee matchups because like I said before,

0:11:50.120 --> 0:11:53.040
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers are no longer the hunters. They are a

0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:55.200
<v Speaker 1>little bit, but they're the hunted and that they're expected

0:11:55.200 --> 0:11:57.040
<v Speaker 1>to be good and so far they have been good.

0:11:57.440 --> 0:11:59.679
<v Speaker 1>And to come home this is almost like a road game,

0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:01.560
<v Speaker 1>even it will be in front of the Sixers great

0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:04.360
<v Speaker 1>crowd that obviously it will be a factor, but just

0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:06.240
<v Speaker 1>in that they've been on the road and they're coming

0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:08.880
<v Speaker 1>home late to night and a quick turnaround with that

0:12:08.960 --> 0:12:11.920
<v Speaker 1>game Wednesday and then and then going right back out.

0:12:11.960 --> 0:12:15.360
<v Speaker 1>But markie matchup, it'll be nice. I don't think Covington

0:12:15.400 --> 0:12:17.480
<v Speaker 1>has played. He was out quite a bit last year

0:12:18.040 --> 0:12:21.400
<v Speaker 1>with that knee, but it'll be It'll be a good matchup,

0:12:21.440 --> 0:12:24.160
<v Speaker 1>to be sure, and for the Sixers again to win games.

0:12:24.200 --> 0:12:26.080
<v Speaker 1>But then they had things to work on and clean

0:12:26.200 --> 0:12:30.480
<v Speaker 1>up is you know, early in the season is understandable.

0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:33.200
<v Speaker 1>But they can play a much more efficient game and

0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:35.840
<v Speaker 1>hopefully they'll get to toward that goal and toward that

0:12:35.920 --> 0:12:39.400
<v Speaker 1>end with another win on Wednesday night. Alrighty Tom, thanks

0:12:39.440 --> 0:12:42.680
<v Speaker 1>so much, all right, but thank you Joel emb doing

0:12:42.720 --> 0:12:48.280
<v Speaker 1>a ton tonight from a monstrous shimmy inducing, posterizing jam

0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:51.200
<v Speaker 1>On John Collins to the two free throws at five

0:12:51.240 --> 0:12:53.439
<v Speaker 1>point three seconds left to put the seventy sixers over

0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:56.000
<v Speaker 1>the top. He was great, and we'll hear some highlights.

0:12:56.320 --> 0:12:58.959
<v Speaker 1>One oh five, one h three Sixers win in Atlanta

0:12:59.000 --> 0:13:02.160
<v Speaker 1>day stay perfect now three and oh Rolling into Wednesday's

0:13:02.200 --> 0:13:06.280
<v Speaker 1>game against Minnesota, Joel Embiad was back and he was spectacular.

0:13:06.400 --> 0:13:09.000
<v Speaker 1>Seventy six Ers down the Atlanta Hawks one oh five,

0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:11.280
<v Speaker 1>one oh three, perfect on their two game road trip,

0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:14.120
<v Speaker 1>perfect on the season. I'm Brian Seltzer. Thanks for hanging

0:13:14.120 --> 0:13:17.480
<v Speaker 1>out late with us. Let us get to some highlights.

0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:20.640
<v Speaker 1>Early on, Ben Simmons helping these seventy sixers keep pace

0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:23.960
<v Speaker 1>with Atlanta, and Beat at the Phi light, holds his pivot,

0:13:23.960 --> 0:13:25.679
<v Speaker 1>it circles back out. He's going to go one on

0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:28.800
<v Speaker 1>one with DeAndre Hunter, spins, loses his balance, goes between

0:13:28.800 --> 0:13:30.640
<v Speaker 1>his legs. Simmons with their verse lamp up and good

0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:32.160
<v Speaker 1>and Beat may have gotten away with a walk, but

0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:33.800
<v Speaker 1>he ends up getting the ball to Ben Simmons and

0:13:33.840 --> 0:13:36.120
<v Speaker 1>Simmons going left the right full of lay up. Yeah.

0:13:36.120 --> 0:13:38.680
<v Speaker 1>Atlanta got off to a quick start behind Trey Young.

0:13:38.800 --> 0:13:41.880
<v Speaker 1>Matt cut the Sixers deficit to two thirteen to eleven,

0:13:41.960 --> 0:13:45.160
<v Speaker 1>but Young and Atlanta would build the lead as large

0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:48.640
<v Speaker 1>as thirteen points in the first quarter. They led it

0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:52.240
<v Speaker 1>by the score of forty to thirty one after one.

0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:55.200
<v Speaker 1>In the second, the seventy Sixers made some inroads and

0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:58.120
<v Speaker 1>Joel Embiad really started to get into a rhythm. Richards

0:13:58.120 --> 0:14:00.480
<v Speaker 1>team in the lane from Simmons off balance. It ain't

0:14:00.520 --> 0:14:01.920
<v Speaker 1>no good that in a round and Beat gets it

0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:03.439
<v Speaker 1>a beat with smaller players a round and put it

0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:05.800
<v Speaker 1>up an in so Joella Beat coming to live from

0:14:05.800 --> 0:14:08.880
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers, his fourth field goal, third rebound. He's got

0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:12.640
<v Speaker 1>ten points scoring the first half as the seventy Sixers

0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:16.120
<v Speaker 1>trailed sixty five sixty three at the break, and the

0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:19.120
<v Speaker 1>third quarter things began to tighten up a bit. Al

0:14:19.240 --> 0:14:23.440
<v Speaker 1>Horford with a very important insurance generating bucket. Timmons drives

0:14:23.440 --> 0:14:27.280
<v Speaker 1>on DeAndre Hunter, cut off cross court, skip to al Horford.

0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:30.560
<v Speaker 1>He'll shoot for three and that's good. So the seventy

0:14:30.640 --> 0:14:34.040
<v Speaker 1>Sixers get the long wall. Good movement of that basketball

0:14:34.080 --> 0:14:36.120
<v Speaker 1>with Simmons and Feat actually had a hand in the play,

0:14:36.440 --> 0:14:39.360
<v Speaker 1>and al Horford gets his first field goal of the game,

0:14:39.880 --> 0:14:42.880
<v Speaker 1>and that made it seventy three to sixty nine the Sixers.

0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:46.800
<v Speaker 1>They would trim the margin down to a point going

0:14:46.920 --> 0:14:49.720
<v Speaker 1>into the fourth. Joel and Beat tied it up early.

0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:52.360
<v Speaker 1>Richardson has it to the corner to Bias open threef

0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:54.640
<v Speaker 1>from there, ribbing off no good. Simmons taps it all

0:14:54.640 --> 0:14:56.560
<v Speaker 1>the way back out top to Joel It Beat from

0:14:56.600 --> 0:14:59.200
<v Speaker 1>deep and it's good and three from out front Joella

0:14:59.280 --> 0:15:03.320
<v Speaker 1>Beat Tights the game at eighty five. Big bucket for

0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:05.440
<v Speaker 1>the big man, but he was not done. The seventy

0:15:05.440 --> 0:15:08.680
<v Speaker 1>six was fell behind ninety eight to ninety with about

0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:11.640
<v Speaker 1>five minutes ago. That's when the defense really tightened up

0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:14.720
<v Speaker 1>and Joel Embiid he put together a string of six

0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:17.960
<v Speaker 1>straight points capped off by this. Joel does have it

0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:20.280
<v Speaker 1>against Alex led the buckbo and eighth to shoot dribble

0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:22.840
<v Speaker 1>book baseline spins back middle through a double team puppet

0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:25.440
<v Speaker 1>in at Joel Embiad has been at a one point game.

0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:28.400
<v Speaker 1>He went right through that trap, powered through with a

0:15:28.480 --> 0:15:31.720
<v Speaker 1>right hand shot thirty four point four a beat, and

0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:34.480
<v Speaker 1>that made it a ninety eight ninety nine game in

0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:38.800
<v Speaker 1>favor of Atlanta. The Hawks would get a little bit

0:15:38.840 --> 0:15:40.960
<v Speaker 1>back on a few free throws to make it one

0:15:41.040 --> 0:15:44.000
<v Speaker 1>hundred two at ninety nine, but then the seventy sixers

0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:47.080
<v Speaker 1>took the lead at one o one to one hundred

0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:49.960
<v Speaker 1>with two minutes to go. They got a few stops

0:15:49.960 --> 0:15:52.760
<v Speaker 1>and Joel Embiid was doing some things in terms of

0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:56.360
<v Speaker 1>occupying attention and Tobias Harris was able to show off

0:15:56.440 --> 0:15:59.320
<v Speaker 1>his physical prowess. Harris on the drive cut off by

0:15:59.400 --> 0:16:02.040
<v Speaker 1>runs five to shoot. Tobias is gonna have to do

0:16:02.080 --> 0:16:05.440
<v Speaker 1>it himself. He fakes, he turns, he jumps A that's good,

0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:09.360
<v Speaker 1>Tobias Harris. With forty two seconds to go, what's the

0:16:09.400 --> 0:16:13.640
<v Speaker 1>Sixers up by three, one oh three, one hundred. The

0:16:13.720 --> 0:16:15.840
<v Speaker 1>Hawks got a free throw from Trey Young with eight

0:16:15.880 --> 0:16:17.920
<v Speaker 1>point four seconds left to make it one with three

0:16:17.920 --> 0:16:21.520
<v Speaker 1>one oh one. He then missed his second and John

0:16:21.560 --> 0:16:23.800
<v Speaker 1>Collins tipped it into tied at one h three. Joel

0:16:23.840 --> 0:16:26.280
<v Speaker 1>Embiid with free throws with five point three seconds to go,

0:16:26.760 --> 0:16:29.920
<v Speaker 1>and the seventy Sixers would win after Vince hart Carter

0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:34.560
<v Speaker 1>missed a desperation heave as time expired. Final notes from

0:16:34.600 --> 0:16:38.360
<v Speaker 1>the final stat sheet. Seventy Sixers shoot forty two percent,

0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:42.360
<v Speaker 1>Atlanta just under forty three percent. Six Ers eleven three

0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:45.960
<v Speaker 1>pointers compared to nine for Atlanta. Sixers one twenty five

0:16:46.520 --> 0:16:49.680
<v Speaker 1>of twenty seven from the free throw line. The Hawks

0:16:49.680 --> 0:16:52.320
<v Speaker 1>were twenty two of thirty two. The Sixers were plus

0:16:52.360 --> 0:16:56.360
<v Speaker 1>four on the glass thirty six points thirteen rebounds for

0:16:56.440 --> 0:16:59.720
<v Speaker 1>Joel Ebid to go with five assists and three steals

0:16:59.760 --> 0:17:02.360
<v Speaker 1>in thirty two minutes. He was twelve of nineteen from

0:17:02.360 --> 0:17:04.879
<v Speaker 1>the field, ten of ten from the free throw line,

0:17:04.920 --> 0:17:08.520

<v Speaker 1>and three assists, thirteen points for Tobias Harris and Ben

0:17:12.119 --> 0:17:15.480
<v Speaker 1>Simmons apiece, but Toby with a really huge midpost turnaround

0:17:15.560 --> 0:17:18.719
<v Speaker 1>jumper to give the Sixers that three point lead in

0:17:18.760 --> 0:17:21.280
<v Speaker 1>the final minute of play. Ben Simmons also had six

0:17:21.400 --> 0:17:25.000
