Speaker 1: This is the Philadelphia Has seventy Sixers postgame show. I
Speaker 1: can look about Abu Roch fries Hards just gonna turn him.
Speaker 1: Get it off, Patty rolls the Sixers postgame show right
Speaker 1: now on ninety seven five. The Fanatic be a start
Speaker 1: off the weekend as this game had drama, intrigue, physicality,
Speaker 1: spectacular individual play in most important, a seventy Sixers win
Speaker 1: as they defeat the visiting Brooklyn Nets tonight one, twenty
Speaker 1: one sixteen and improved to thirty eight and thirty on
Speaker 1: the season after winning their second straight game and the
Speaker 1: second as much to Atlantic Division foes. Welcome to the
Speaker 1: Sixes postgame show. I'm Devine Givens. During our time together,
Speaker 1: We're here from sixeres head coach Brett Brown outside of
Speaker 1: the Sixes locker room. Check back in with seventy Sixes
Speaker 1: radio voice. Time again it's at the center for some
Speaker 1: extra thoughts and later on some of the games highlights.
Speaker 1: On the second night again of a back to back
Speaker 1: for the Sixes, Brooklyn gave the seventy Sixers everything they
Speaker 1: can handle as they battle until the very end. In
Speaker 1: this game, again high drama, just simply intrigue, as the
Speaker 1: Sixers you could say maybe had a little bit of
Speaker 1: some tired legs, you know, defensively, they were not as
Speaker 1: strong as we are accustomed to seeing. But they found
Speaker 1: a way to get it done. And again the birthday
Speaker 1: boy joellenbad As Tom mc ginnis alluded to twenty four
Speaker 1: points and nineteen rebounds in thirty three minutes of play,
Speaker 1: six of twenty three from the floor, perfect from the
Speaker 1: free throw line with eleven of eleven, and he came
Speaker 1: up big at the end, knocking down huge free throws
Speaker 1: at the end, playing solid defense overall, getting a key
Speaker 1: block or during a drive on Spencer Dinwiddie as Again,
Speaker 1: this one came down to the very end with the
Speaker 1: Brooklyn that's trying to find a way. They're not playing
Speaker 1: for much again, They're just simply playing to get better
Speaker 1: each and every night. Look at some of the young
Speaker 1: players that they have. That's what head coach Kenny Atkinson
Speaker 1: and company are trying to do. And they came out
Speaker 1: and gave it everything they have and they took the
Speaker 1: Philadelphia seventy Sixers, again hopefully a playoff team to the
Speaker 1: very end as they battle battle and kept battling until
Speaker 1: the seventy six is finally came away with the victory
Speaker 1: one twenty one sixteen. Again, in terms of individual play,
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons really got things started for the seventy six
Speaker 1: is fantastic tonight in thirty seven minutes of play, ten
Speaker 1: of seventeen from the floor, twenty one points, twelve assists,
Speaker 1: eight rebounds this two rebounds. Shy of yet another triple double,
Speaker 1: this would have been his third straight again, remember he
Speaker 1: had two straight after notching the one against Indiana on
Speaker 1: Tuesday and last night in New York against the New
Speaker 1: York Knicks. A triple double back to back nights for
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons, his seventh and eighth tonight just fantastic. He
Speaker 1: set the tone early, got to the basket, stayed aggressive
Speaker 1: and ultimately helping the Philadelphia seventy six is once again
Speaker 1: improved to thirty seven and part me thirty eight and
Speaker 1: thirty Now on the season. When we come back, take
Speaker 1: a quick break, check back in down at the center.
Speaker 1: Check in with Brett Brown. Also connect with Tom McGinnis.
Speaker 1: As the Sixers win this game one twenty to one sixteen.
Speaker 1: I'm divine givens. This is the postgame show here on
Speaker 1: the Sixers Radio Network one twenty one sixteen. That is
Speaker 1: the final in front of a sellout crowd yet again
Speaker 1: at the Center tonight as the Philadelphia seventy Sixers beat
Speaker 1: the Brooklyn Nets and improved to thirty eight and thirty
Speaker 1: on the season. I'm hello, I'm divine Givens. This is
Speaker 1: the Sixers postgame show as we await the head coach
Speaker 1: Sixers head coach Brett Brown, and also we'll try to
Speaker 1: reconnect with Tom McGinnis if we do in fact halftime
Speaker 1: and when you also dive a little deeper into the
Speaker 1: box score of what the Philadelphia seventy six was able
Speaker 1: to do in this highly competitive game. JJ Reddick was
Speaker 1: solid as well for the seventy Sixers, with twenty three
Speaker 1: points on the evening in thirty minutes of action, seven
Speaker 1: to thirteen from the floor, three of six from behind
Speaker 1: a three point line, six of seven from the free
Speaker 1: throw line, and it just very very solid overall, stretching
Speaker 1: the floor, making Brooklyn have to defend him, making them
Speaker 1: have to account for JJ Reddick every time he was
Speaker 1: out on the floor. So just overall it's a very
Speaker 1: good job by JJ Reddick tonight. Ben's Robert Covington twenty
Speaker 1: three minutes. A little lighter in the minutes department for
Speaker 1: Robert Covington. What we're accustomed to is a little more
Speaker 1: over thirty minutes for him. But an efficient game four
Speaker 1: or five from the field, two or three from behind
Speaker 1: the ark, and very very deliberate and smart with where
Speaker 1: the shots we're gonna come from when he felt like
Speaker 1: he needed to take those shots. Defensively, he had his
Speaker 1: hands for I mean, he had to check Ronde Hollis
Speaker 1: Jefferson at times, Damarri Carroll and Spencer Dinwiddie also Carris
Speaker 1: Lavert very active players for the Brooklyn Nets, and overall,
Speaker 1: Robert Covington was simply pretty good tonight for the Philadelphia
Speaker 1: seventy six. Has had some key shots for the team
Speaker 1: down the stretch and made a big layup when the
Speaker 1: seventy six is needed it most. And Robert Covington again
Speaker 1: solid night overall for ten points and some solid, solid
Speaker 1: defense for the Philadelphia seventy six ers. Dario Charge four
Speaker 1: of ten from the field, nine point six rebounds for
Speaker 1: the starting power forward off the bench. Justin Anderson came
Speaker 1: in very early first quarter, connecting on three to three
Speaker 1: pointers four seven overall from the floor, three or five
Speaker 1: from behind the arc and eosign Iliasova nine points for him,
Speaker 1: Marco Belinelli quieter night with five points. TJ. McConnell adding
Speaker 1: six off the bench in fourteen minutes to play, plus
Speaker 1: two key free throws for the reserve point guard. And
Speaker 1: should we get ready to check back in with Tom
Speaker 1: Againnis down at the center, and let's get ready to
Speaker 1: go to Tom again us and check in with Tom
Speaker 1: and Tom again. We talked about it earlier and you
Speaker 1: said it, you pointed out perfectly. You cannot overlook got
Speaker 1: teams like this that are playing to stretch out for
Speaker 1: the end of the season, not much to play for,
Speaker 1: but they're playing with their pride. And again the show
Speaker 1: tonight in the six is tough win one twenty one sixteen.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, did we go to coach yet, Debon? No,
Speaker 1: he still has not come out. Okay, I think he has.
Speaker 1: Let's go to Coach Brow. Let's go playing it. You know,
Speaker 1: we we we we have struggled defending them. I give
Speaker 1: them a lot of credit. I think that our guys,
Speaker 1: you know, have been quite exceptional in fourth periods. Sometimes
Speaker 1: you hate arriving at the fourth period the way that
Speaker 1: we did. But I thought that that we executed quite
Speaker 1: well offensively, especially in the fourth tonight. I think this
Speaker 1: has ceased low for you guys. What did you see there?
Speaker 1: And how much rolling about? But I think that we're
Speaker 1: just so mindful of, you know, trying to arrest that. Um.
Speaker 1: We we played a lot out of our motion. We
Speaker 1: avoided a lot of like you know, static sets and
Speaker 1: h I think that, you know, moving people around and
Speaker 1: trying to make some passes U simple. Um. We had
Speaker 1: a big turnover at the end, you know, with JJ
Speaker 1: trying to get Ben at the uh at the rim
Speaker 1: with about a minute thirty left, I'd called the time out.
Speaker 1: We tried to run a pick and roll play with
Speaker 1: those two guys, and we just weren't successful. I think,
Speaker 1: by and large, just trying to be aware and conscious
Speaker 1: we have to get better at that area that you
Speaker 1: guys are able to come back league, especially team and playoff.
Speaker 1: I think it it lets them know because we've been
Speaker 1: on the other side of that as well, that we
Speaker 1: do have the people. I believe we have the structure.
Speaker 1: They have shown they have the poise to be able
Speaker 1: to walk a game down, you know, I liked what
Speaker 1: they did situationally, you know, fouling appropriately when we were
Speaker 1: up three and waiting and waiting and then TJ you know,
Speaker 1: used a foul um. I thought that the defensive rebound
Speaker 1: Joelhead on them miss free throw was big. I feel like,
Speaker 1: sort of schematically, you know, we all feel comfortable as
Speaker 1: a team that we can walk a game down, and
Speaker 1: those guys I thought last night and tonight did that,
Speaker 1: especially to night the books of key loss of the
Speaker 1: delay as presidents felt in the way when they're making
Speaker 1: those shots about what he is on how you change
Speaker 1: the game for you, I mean, we can all go home.
Speaker 1: You're right, it's true that that sentence is true. He
Speaker 1: makes he makes us complete. He is a complete difference maker.
Speaker 1: Uh you look at twenty four and nineteen. You know
Speaker 1: those are massive stats by any standards. It was his
Speaker 1: birthday today, as we know, and it was a good
Speaker 1: gift to get a win tonight six as head coach
Speaker 1: Brett Brown outside of the outside of the winning locker
Speaker 1: room again, his team picks up the victory one twenty
Speaker 1: one sixteen improven to thirty eight and thirty defeating the
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Nets tonight and as we go back now to
Speaker 1: the center and check in with Tom mckinnis. Once again,
Speaker 1: Sorry about that, Tom, Tom, as I was trying to
Speaker 1: ask you the question before we got the coach on you.
Speaker 1: You alluded to it earlier when we had the pregame
Speaker 1: show and you pointed out not to overlook a team
Speaker 1: like the Brooklyn that's a lot still to play for,
Speaker 1: most importantly in their pride, and that's exactly what we
Speaker 1: got tonight in this tough win one twenty one sixteen
Speaker 1: over the Nets. Well. Absolutely, and like New York, they
Speaker 1: have guys that can score the ball. I would say
Speaker 1: this though both teams have struggled this year and they
Speaker 1: have not closed out games, and certainly, you know, as
Speaker 1: Sixers fans, we know over the last few years for
Speaker 1: the Sixers that's been an issue. And so when you're
Speaker 1: I don't know if accustomed to losing, but you know,
Speaker 1: you kind of get acclimated. Where can they make a
Speaker 1: play to get over the up end that's couldn't So
Speaker 1: you've got to credit the Sixers there, and like Brett
Speaker 1: Brown said, you know, to be able to walk a
Speaker 1: game down, I mean, this is winning is all that matters,
Speaker 1: you know. I mean to be able to come away
Speaker 1: with a victory. The Sixers, you know, again marching up
Speaker 1: to standard, putting themselves right in the thick of things
Speaker 1: in the middle of the race. Now just a half
Speaker 1: a game behind Washington. If by chance Indiana beats the
Speaker 1: Wizards tomorrow, the Sixers will be tied for fifth. How
Speaker 1: about that? So really important at this stage of the
Speaker 1: season to take these opportunities against teams that have struggled
Speaker 1: sub five hundred records and as I say, take care
Speaker 1: of business. And you had key performances from the Sixers
Speaker 1: up and down the line. The free throws were huge,
Speaker 1: twenty two free throws in the second half and McConnell
Speaker 1: and to be sealing the deal with four in a
Speaker 1: row down the stretch and tom when you talk about
Speaker 1: how everything went offensively and also defensively, Ben Simmons really
Speaker 1: got things started for him tonight again twenty one point twelve.
Speaker 1: It's is two shy of a triple double, having eight rebounds,
Speaker 1: and we see a different Ben Simmons. Sometimes he's selective
Speaker 1: and getting everybody going, and he did that as well
Speaker 1: with the twelve assists, but he really got it going
Speaker 1: aggressively of offensively, no doubt, and he's getting that underneath
Speaker 1: the foule line, off the dribble, from the very onset
Speaker 1: of a possession with ease, I thought. Boydanovitch here on
Speaker 1: Tuesday Night for Indiana did a good job of keeping
Speaker 1: Ben away from the rim. So he did get low,
Speaker 1: but not all the way to the basket, even last
Speaker 1: night a little bit in New York. But tonight, like
Speaker 1: I said, he looks at DeMarcus is you know a
Speaker 1: radio man's and now, oh hi, you're a nine year veteran.
Speaker 1: Come up with me. We're going to the rim, and
Speaker 1: he just roars right by him and gets right to
Speaker 1: the rack. It's incredible, but also defensively. He kind of
Speaker 1: snuck up on the nets down the stretch where you
Speaker 1: know the sixers came away empty. Ben looks like he's changing,
Speaker 1: but then over his changing ends sort of at center cord.
Speaker 1: He looks over his shoulder and then turns around and
Speaker 1: knocks the ball away and steals it. I mean, he is,
Speaker 1: I thought tonight. In the end, and Bead had huge
Speaker 1: numbers with the nineteen rebounds and a career high making
Speaker 1: eleven free throws, but Joel struggled from the field quite
Speaker 1: a bit. I thought he showed a lot of fatigue
Speaker 1: and many of those early attempts in the game from
Speaker 1: the line or excuse me, from the field. I thought
Speaker 1: Simmons was a dominant player early. I would say almost
Speaker 1: three quarters of the way through the game, he was
Speaker 1: the dominant player in this game. And that's a pretty
Speaker 1: effective one two combo for the Sixers, no question. Tom
Speaker 1: again his live from the centers. The Sixers win one
Speaker 1: twenty one sixteen over the Brooklyn that's now thirty eight
Speaker 1: and thirty on the season as time pointing out, half
Speaker 1: game behind Washington for the fifth spot. Tom as you
Speaker 1: just pointed out Ben Simmons very aggressive and what he
Speaker 1: did tonight and dominant and with the Joel Embiad's struggle
Speaker 1: six of twenty three getting to the free throw line
Speaker 1: though making all eleven in the nineteen rebounds, the career high,
Speaker 1: he did find a way to stay with it defensively
Speaker 1: when they needed the most at the end. Oh, absolutely know,
Speaker 1: And a star player like that can impact the game
Speaker 1: in manning areas and Coach Brown was just calling him,
Speaker 1: you know, an impactful and difference maker in all areas
Speaker 1: of the game and without doubt. I mean he held
Speaker 1: off the nets at the basket, down the stretch during
Speaker 1: that jump ball situation he gets the ball, I mean
Speaker 1: he Jared Allen I thought had a couple of opportunities
Speaker 1: late that were impacted by embad And so a man
Speaker 1: of that side and agility and that fight and competitive nature,
Speaker 1: it lends itself to a great overall play. So yeah,
Speaker 1: he struggled from the field, miss some chip shots and
Speaker 1: Okaford did well against it beat and part of that
Speaker 1: was even at the defensive end. So but it beat
Speaker 1: in the end ruled the day in terms of how
Speaker 1: he finished the game. And to have a guy, you know,
Speaker 1: who gets to the line as often as he does,
Speaker 1: to be able to make all of his free throws
Speaker 1: and to be a dependable foul shooter and the guts
Speaker 1: of the game is quite an asset. Absolutely, and Tom
Speaker 1: enjoy the rest of your weekend. Will be back at
Speaker 1: it on Monday for the Charlotte Hornets. Time. It seems
Speaker 1: like the Charlotte Hornets. It's the playoff series they played him.
Speaker 1: This would be the third matchup in this month, so
Speaker 1: very accustomed to seeing the Charlotte Hornets no right and
Speaker 1: back there on Easter Sunday. I mean, it was kind
Speaker 1: of weird where, you know, the Sixers didn't play them
Speaker 1: at all, and then they're playing them four times in
Speaker 1: the last five weeks of the season and just to
Speaker 1: go back, did the Sixers are off this weekend? Oh mind?
Speaker 1: How about that? Unbelievable, So great opportunity, as we said,
Speaker 1: with the home games and playing eleven of these last
Speaker 1: fifteen games against teams with under five hundred records, and
Speaker 1: so far, so good for the Sixers for the last
Speaker 1: two games over the Nicks. Tom, enjoy your weekend. Thank you,
Speaker 1: good night. Tom mcguinnis again live from the Center as
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia seventy Sixers are now thirty eight and thirty
Speaker 1: and continuing to improve in the win column that will
Speaker 1: position themselves for a playoff spot and clinching at some
Speaker 1: point nine home games remaining for this basketball team. Five
Speaker 1: one a road, very good shot at a good spot
Speaker 1: in the postseason. Sixers win one twenty one sixteen. On
Speaker 1: the other side, the man that you heard, Tom mc ginnis,
Speaker 1: we'll hear its highlights next on the Sixers Radio Network.
Speaker 1: One twenty one sixteen. The Philadelphia seventy Sixes are now
Speaker 1: thirty eight and thirty after game numbers sixty eight on
Speaker 1: the season. After defeating the Brooklyn Nets at the center,
Speaker 1: it is ten oh five on the clock. But before
Speaker 1: we get to the highlights, it's time to allow our
Speaker 1: affhiliates to identify themselves. Here on the Sixes Radio Network,
Speaker 1: the home for the Philadelphia seventy Sixers and the Philadelphia
Speaker 1: Fly ninety seven five the Finatic WPE and Burlington hildelpodcasting
Speaker 1: from the Exfinity Studio only from Comcast. Well, this game
Speaker 1: had a lot of intrigue from the very start as
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia seventy Sixers got things going very early, Ben
Speaker 1: Simmons getting birthed a driving layup to make it two
Speaker 1: to two very early with these two basketball teams. But
Speaker 1: then the birthday Boy Joel and Bee got into the action.
Speaker 1: Joel drives it on the Alan Dominey oh Man sit
Speaker 1: down quick with a thirty and a violent stuff by
Speaker 1: it be baby slow moved to get by Alan and
Speaker 1: when no one came to give help it, Bet crashes
Speaker 1: it with a slam and that was off of his
Speaker 1: Joeling Bees patent it up fake and then drive low
Speaker 1: the defender of Sleep and take his time by getting
Speaker 1: by and that's exactly what he did four to two
Speaker 1: and sixers at that time. Ben Simmons kept it going
Speaker 1: later on in that quarter with the driving layup to
Speaker 1: give this put the Sixes up thirteen to eight. Early on,
Speaker 1: they were six of seven to start the game with
Speaker 1: their field goals. Unfortunately, Ben Simmons did pick up his
Speaker 1: second foul very early. D'Angelo Russell made a three to
Speaker 1: give the Brooklyn Nets a sixteen to thirteen advantage after
Speaker 1: an eight oh run. But at the later on in
Speaker 1: that quarter, as things again started to go another way,
Speaker 1: a little spark off the bench by Justin Anderson two
Speaker 1: twenty in the opening quarter half court set. McConnell the
Speaker 1: Anderson he's gonna try for another three, and that's good.
Speaker 1: See three. That's what's gonna work in the playoffs. He'll
Speaker 1: be able to guard an exciting wing player and be
Speaker 1: able to if he's on, make those threes. Definitely a
Speaker 1: bonus for making the threes from behind the arc for
Speaker 1: Justin Anderson. After that three pointer twenty five twenty four,
Speaker 1: Brooklyn much needed baskets by Anderson the reserve again off
Speaker 1: the bench and as he is able to give that
Speaker 1: kind of offensive output from time to time during the postseason.
Speaker 1: It will make a difference. At the end of one
Speaker 1: thirty three thirty the Brooklyn Nets in front of the
Speaker 1: seventy sixers start of the second quarter, JJ Reddick again
Speaker 1: fantastic night overall from the floor. Here is one of
Speaker 1: the three point baskets made beat with McConnell JJ Reddick.
Speaker 1: Reddick shoots it off the inbount It makes it fast.
Speaker 1: Carros Lavert drops his shoulders as if to see what
Speaker 1: all they gotta do again? This guy, Well, what he
Speaker 1: has to do carris Lavert after that made basket to
Speaker 1: tide at thirty three is to go on a run
Speaker 1: for the Brooklyn Nets. And they did in fact do
Speaker 1: that when they went on a ten o run and
Speaker 1: carros Lavert went on an eight o' run all by himself,
Speaker 1: resulting in a forty six thirty three advantage. Dario Shards
Speaker 1: then made it forty six thirty five with the layup
Speaker 1: Sixes themselves made him run as Marco Belinelli converted to
Speaker 1: three fifty eight to fifty two. But JJ Reddick, once
Speaker 1: again capping off the twelve two run six seconds ago,
Speaker 1: Sixers on the drive out the JJ dribbles, shoots, fires
Speaker 1: and hits three point shot by Reddick. It's a three
Speaker 1: point game with two seconds to go in the half.
Speaker 1: That sent him into the half down fifty eight fifty five,
Speaker 1: much needed basket for the Sixers by their vet and
Speaker 1: sharp shooter again trailing by three after two started the
Speaker 1: third quarter Ben Simmons. He started the game very aggressive.
Speaker 1: He did the same out of the locker room rebound
Speaker 1: losing Simmons picks it up, turns on the Jets in
Speaker 1: the midcourt, goes in and gets around Joe Harris lay
Speaker 1: up good. Ben Simmons would not be to nine. Very aggressive,
Speaker 1: made the free throw as well, fifty eight fifty eight,
Speaker 1: six to tie game between the Sixers, and that's just
Speaker 1: a few short seconds later. Ben Simmons again with another
Speaker 1: drive to the basket of Floata and the foul. Unfortunately
Speaker 1: he missed the free throw, sixty to fifty eight. He
Speaker 1: also scored one more time when the fadeaway jumpers, seeing
Speaker 1: that comfortability with the jumper, which is very encouraging by
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons. But Joel and Beat struggled again from the floor.
Speaker 1: Overall six to twenty three, but his only made three
Speaker 1: point basket. Here they clear it out Ben out top
Speaker 1: to Joel. It beat for three, and it's in Simmons
Speaker 1: with nine assists. He is wheeling and Billy and it
Speaker 1: beats on target. With the train sixers by by sixty
Speaker 1: eight sixty three Philadelphia. He also made a jumper two
Speaker 1: jumpers later on to give them an eighty six to
Speaker 1: eighty one advantage going into the fourth quarter. And that's
Speaker 1: again where things started to go back and forth. Arson
Speaker 1: Ilia Silva with a big layup, same four and bed,
Speaker 1: but the Nets would not go away. They kept battling,
Speaker 1: kept battling, and Damari Carroll was one of the reasons why.
Speaker 1: Rodde Hollis Jefferson two two to go. Hollis Jefferson cut
Speaker 1: off passes out front. Here's Carol for three. It's good
Speaker 1: Damari Carol from Jared Allen and the Nets up taking
Speaker 1: the lead one thirteen one ten. They did in fact
Speaker 1: take the lead, scoring seven straight to put the Sixes behind,
Speaker 1: but Ben Simmons then gets the steal Robert Covington with
Speaker 1: the layup. They wound up tying it one thirteen, one
Speaker 1: thirteen Robert Covington. After that layup his most important basket
Speaker 1: of the night, coffee dipp with a rebound of crowd risers.
Speaker 1: Here's Dario Sights up to the fender, back out the bend.
Speaker 1: Simmons the ruddick into the corner. Three ball shot here,
Speaker 1: it's good. Robert public toon berries of three. How the
Speaker 1: Sixers half take of the lane, and the Sixers went
Speaker 1: on and score four more points courtesy of free throws
Speaker 1: by t. J. McConnell, two apiece from t. J McConnell
Speaker 1: and Joel and beat again. The final score one twenty
Speaker 1: one sixteen spenc And then when he did have an
Speaker 1: opportunity with the basketball, he lost it out of bounds
Speaker 1: with twenty point eight seconds to go. Then it was
Speaker 1: a foul game and trying to continue, you know, it
Speaker 1: stretched the game out a bit to give the Nets
Speaker 1: an opportunity, but unfortunately for them, the Sixes were simply
Speaker 1: not going to be denied tonight, coming away with the
Speaker 1: victory one twenty to one sixteen. Very very good job tonight,
Speaker 1: protecting the basketball only only five turnovers. How about that,
Speaker 1: which did not allow the Nets to get any extra shots.
Speaker 1: Three points off of those turnovers. On the other side,
Speaker 1: though the Nets with twelve turnovers six is converting thirteen
Speaker 1: points off of those very very crucial for the team. Tonight,
Speaker 1: forty five percent from the field forty four percent for
Speaker 1: the Piladelphia seventy six and from behind a three point
Speaker 1: line twelve of twenty seven very good from the free
Speaker 1: throw line with eighty four point six twenty two of
Speaker 1: twenty six. They lost the rebounding battle forty seven to
Speaker 1: forty two. Brooklyn took that edge, also sharing the basketball
Speaker 1: like they always do, thirty assists on forty three made baskets.
Speaker 1: Second chance points NETS twenty three six fourteen seventy six
Speaker 1: is fast break points. They took the advantage there fifteen
Speaker 1: to five. Biggest lead if the night was the Nets
Speaker 1: with the thirteen seventy six or six, and again they
Speaker 1: win by four tonight over the Brooklyn Nets one twenty
Speaker 1: one sixteen twenty one lead chases seventeen times tied. The
Speaker 1: game was simply two hours and twenty minutes of play.
Speaker 1: We also have to jump in real fast to the
Speaker 1: other side of the box score. Former Philadelphia seventy sixers
Speaker 1: center Joel and Jalil okafor off the bench in thirty
Speaker 1: three minutes and twenty five seconds, five of eight from
Speaker 1: the floor. Physical with him beat he knows how to play,
Speaker 1: and they've been playing together for the last couple of season,
Speaker 1: so he knows his game just a little bit. Not
Speaker 1: enough though, was the big man. Twenty four points to
Speaker 1: nineteen boards for the birthday boy Dwell and beat ten
Speaker 1: for Jalio Oka four. Very good win for the Sixers tonight.
Speaker 1: It was the struggle. The Nets would not go away,
Speaker 1: and that's what you would expect at this time of
Speaker 1: the season from a team very prideful with the head
Speaker 1: coach was very good and Kenny Atkinson not going to
Speaker 1: allow his team to simply lay down even though they
Speaker 1: do not have a record that I'm sure that they
Speaker 1: would like to carry on now. Twenty one and forty
Speaker 1: eight for the Brooklyn Nets, but most importantly, the Sixers
Speaker 1: come away with the win, their second in a row
Speaker 1: on the back to back night one twenty one sixteen,
Speaker 1: improving the thirty eight and thirty A lot of people
Speaker 1: to think, starting with Jay Gray here back at the
Speaker 1: studio engineering the whole thing for us at the station,
Speaker 1: audio engineer Alan Yates with everything, taking care of those
Speaker 1: great highlights and of course, Tom again is at the
Speaker 1: Center once again. Sixers victorious tonight one twenty one sixteen.
Speaker 1: There back at it against the Charlotte Hornets on Monday,
Speaker 1: the Center where they are now going for plenty of
Speaker 1: home games. They have nine more home games remaining, so
Speaker 1: not a lot of time spent on the road. Thanks
Speaker 1: so much for hanging out with this all tonight. I'm divine. Gibbons.

Speaker 1: and that seated on the table Ben Simmons, Ben like
Speaker 1: I was just saying, not exactly like last night, but
Speaker 1: similar that it was a hard park game where you

Speaker 1: tonight for your club over Brooklyn. Your thoughts. Definitely, I
Speaker 1: think we've been getting up for slow stocks and that's

Speaker 1: it didn't happen, obviously, But for us, I think we're
Speaker 1: getting better at closing out games and keeping out composure.
Speaker 1: Coach Brown and your staff, the coaches go over a
Speaker 1: lot of late game situations and this game, certainly down
Speaker 1: the Stretch, had a lot of those types of scenarios.

Speaker 1: getting used to it playing the situations like that, and
Speaker 1: I was getting bet every game. How about the crowd
