WEBVTT - The BroadCast: 4/1/2018- Rewind vs. Hornets 0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:02.840 Like, how do you deliver a team to the playoffs. 0:00:03.279 --> 0:00:05.320 It was always kind of for me in this order 0:00:05.519 --> 0:00:09.479 is how do you do your best to maintain their health? 0:00:10.600 --> 0:00:14.320 And then a close second is, you know, always keeping 0:00:14.400 --> 0:00:17.079 this spirits up they want, I want them feeling great 0:00:17.079 --> 0:00:20.120 about themselves. And then the form, it's it's the health, 0:00:20.160 --> 0:00:22.439 it's the spirit. And then are they playing good basketball? 0:00:23.079 --> 0:00:25.600 And we took a hit with Joel with a health 0:00:26.120 --> 0:00:27.680 and you know we took it just a quick one 0:00:27.720 --> 0:00:31.400 with Dario. No excuse me available tonight, but by and Lodge, 0:00:31.440 --> 0:00:34.800 the spirit of the group has been excellent and we're 0:00:34.840 --> 0:00:38.280 playing good basketball. I think because of that. I'm sure 0:00:38.280 --> 0:00:42.960 it's all interconnected. But our ten wins I think has 0:00:43.000 --> 0:00:46.919 those types of qualities, a growth. And then because if 0:00:46.920 --> 0:00:48.720 you think that, like you look at it, the two 0:00:48.720 --> 0:00:51.320 guys aren't there. But he's not only getting the stats, 0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:53.279 but he's the leader on the field. I mean, he's 0:00:53.320 --> 0:00:55.760 telling the guys what to do. There is no doubt 0:00:55.800 --> 0:01:02.160 about that. And I think his growth is certainly expedited. 0:01:02.200 --> 0:01:04.240 You know when he looks over and you know our 0:01:04.280 --> 0:01:08.160 all star isn't there. And then to your point, you know, Dario, 0:01:08.280 --> 0:01:10.160 we have to find some ways. And I thought I 0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:13.720 thought Arson and Ema were excellent tonight, you know, covering 0:01:13.760 --> 0:01:16.240 that Cuve came in at a fourth spot and we 0:01:16.360 --> 0:01:19.840 revisited that. I thought he was good. But Ben, you know, 0:01:19.920 --> 0:01:24.120 all over the place, his presence, his presence, his his disposition, 0:01:24.840 --> 0:01:29.320 and lately even more his voice. I think reeks of leadership, 0:01:29.440 --> 0:01:35.520 you know, real positive trends. That he's using it like 0:01:35.760 --> 0:01:39.240 he really and it sounds simple, but it's true. He's 0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:42.319 just using it more. You know, he isn't a man 0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:46.160 of many words, and it's fine. Everybody leads in different ways. 0:01:46.200 --> 0:01:48.200 But when he's got something to say, he says it 0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:52.559 and people hear that, and then he's able to lead 0:01:52.680 --> 0:01:57.200 through example a lot, which certainly helps the package. But 0:01:57.360 --> 0:02:02.440 the combination of just some body language using his voice 0:02:02.960 --> 0:02:06.920 getting us organized offensively, picking apart of Jim with his 0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:11.840 assists elite stuff. That's Brett Brown outside these Sixers locker 0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:15.679 room talking, among other things, about Ben Simmons.

Hello all, I'm Divine Gives 0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:09.400 and welcome to the Sixers postgame show here on the 0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:12.360 Sixers Radio Network as the Sixers take care of business 0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:15.680 yet again, this time at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte, 0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:19.359 North Carolina, and an impressive fashion with a one nineteen 0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:22.760 one oh two victories, shooting the lights out overall in 0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:26.200 the game, fifty one percent from the field, forty three 0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:29.720 point eight percent from behind a three point line, protecting 0:05:29.760 --> 0:05:33.960 the basketball, and getting a group effort a win with 0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:38.279 everyone stepping up and playing their parts, and the Charlotte 0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:40.520 Horners dropped their records to thirty four and forty four 0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:42.799 in the loss, while the Sixers pick up their tenth 0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:46.320 in a row forty six and thirty now sixteen games 0:05:46.320 --> 0:05:50.039 over five hundred for the Philadelphia seventy sixers in game 0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:53.240 number seventy six. It's an impressive win. And with that 0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:55.760 we do head back to the Spectrum Center to check 0:05:55.800 --> 0:05:57.880 in with Tom McGinnis in town. We talked about a 0:05:57.960 --> 0:06:02.040 pregame where someone needs to step up. I mentioned Rashaan Holmes, 0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:05.640 you mentioned JJ Reddick and Marco Bellnnelli and so many others, 0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:09.000 and that's exactly what they got, where five players stepped 0:06:09.040 --> 0:06:11.159 up in double figures, three of them in the twenty 0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:14.080 point margin. No, without doubt, and the odds of your 0:06:14.080 --> 0:06:16.640 team winning when three guys get twenty or more are great. 0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:20.400 And they played great, and Covington didn't shoot it well, 0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:23.919 but really contributed in a number of other areas. Ben 0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:27.400 Simmons was magnificent, and Marco Belinelli and Reddick put on 0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:29.719 a clinic in terms of shooting the basketball and the 0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:32.479 growth that Coach Brown talked about doing the post game 0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:34.640 gathering with the media, and you can see it with 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:37.240 Ben Simmons ten of seventeen from the floor, twenty points, 0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:40.120 fifteen and eight fifteen assists, eight rebounds and thirty one 0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:42.479 minutes of played. But every time we talk about this time, 0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:45.160 it's the same thing. He just simply seems to control 0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:47.560 the game. What have you seen in his growth as 0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:49.400 we've gone from game one all the way to game 0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:52.200 number seventy six, Well, it's most definitely one of the 0:06:52.240 --> 0:06:55.400 things that stands out is a confidence swagger. Like, you know, 0:06:55.720 --> 0:06:57.520 he knew he could play in this league, but I 0:06:57.520 --> 0:06:59.760 don't know that he knew that he was gonna well 0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:01.680 have to experience. And I'm not saying he didn't know, 0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:04.560 but like now that he knows he can dominate, you 0:07:04.560 --> 0:07:06.400 can just see that he gets on the balls of 0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:08.960 his feet and he just rears back with that dribble 0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:12.320 and with that speed and quickness and strength and length. 0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:16.640 It's just unbelievable how he attacks and so and then 0:07:16.680 --> 0:07:21.080 the passing, it's just he's wheeling and dealing. You know, 0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:23.400 he's not even cracking inside the file line. A lot 0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:26.040 of times, he's turning his back to the basket and 0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:30.120 finding options, whether it's Comington or Reddick or wherever. And 0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:32.040 today he hit a lot of fade away shots, and 0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:34.800 I believe that's one aspect of his game that's going 0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:37.880 to get better to where you know, he shoots that 0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:41.240 ball without a fade away and shoots it more confidently 0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:44.280 and more consistently. But you know, you look at his numbers, 0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:47.160 he's shot over fifty percent on the year. Now again 0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:48.720 he's taking a lot of dunks and a lot of 0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:52.800 shots around the rim, but just an incredible talent and 0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:56.400 took over the game and dominated. Like I said, there 0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:59.040 was one point where he either scored or assisted on 0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:01.880 twenty eight to twenty nine points, and that was in 0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:04.560 the late second and early third when the Sixers pulled 0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:07.520 away for good, even though Charlotte made a little bit 0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:11.080 of a mini run. And then he's a very good 0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:15.120 defensive player as well, So you know, you don't want 0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:17.720 to have to have him, you know, you want obviously 0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:20.520 a bad to be out there because of his dominance, 0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:23.520 but Ben Simmons certainly was able to handle it. Here 0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:26.520 tonight today Tom again is joining his life from the 0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:29.520 Spectrum Center. Sixers win one nineteen one h two over 0:08:29.520 --> 0:08:32.720 to Charlotte Hornets for their sweep of this pointans in 0:08:32.760 --> 0:08:35.360 this last month where they played him four times in 0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:37.800 this spanned time. Before we get you out of here, 0:08:37.840 --> 0:08:40.120 you look at the bench and what they've been able 0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:42.959 to do, and specifically to this afternoon, Marco Bell and 0:08:43.000 --> 0:08:46.079 Nelli just fantastic display of shooting and also getting to 0:08:46.120 --> 0:08:48.360 the basket nine of ten from the floor, seeing it 0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:51.320 from either cutting to the basket deep behind the three, 0:08:51.360 --> 0:08:54.280 getting a foul on a three point shot, and just 0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:57.800 a great added addition to this basketball team as you 0:08:57.840 --> 0:09:00.840 gear up for the postseason. Well out, he's like a 0:09:00.880 --> 0:09:04.559 basketball sniper. In other words, he's hunting his shots. He 0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:07.760 doesn't need much space to get them off. He has 0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:10.240 an idea of you know, how to use his body 0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:13.080 and it's just incredible. Like I said, like he doesn't 0:09:13.120 --> 0:09:16.360 have the ball, you talk about ball friendly, he catches 0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:19.720 it and shoots it in like a split Second's remarkable. 0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:22.319 That's that's a world class talent right there. He really 0:09:22.840 --> 0:09:25.360 had it exceedingly. Again, the only shot he missed was 0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:28.640 with like a half a second to go at halftime, 0:09:28.679 --> 0:09:31.080 and that that certainly goes down as a statistic. But 0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:34.560 you know, that's a desperation heave. And so otherwise he 0:09:34.640 --> 0:09:36.680 was perfect from the field. I believe he would have 0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:39.920 hit nine of nine. And you know, I guess we've 0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:42.840 become a little accustomed to Reddick, but JJ Reddick basically 0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:45.520 does the same thing, right. I mean, he's able to 0:09:45.960 --> 0:09:48.360 get those shots off and draw those falls, and he 0:09:48.360 --> 0:09:51.760 had a remarkable reverse layup JJ Reddick did and Marco 0:09:51.880 --> 0:09:55.720 got one from Ben. But really a nice team victory 0:09:56.160 --> 0:09:59.280 to Brett Brown's point a mirror, and Earson did a 0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:02.280 great job inside. I thought Emir Johnson did a terrific 0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:05.800 job on Dwhite Howard. And you know this is these 0:10:05.800 --> 0:10:07.800 are the types of games where the Sixers at the 0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:09.960 end of these some of these seasons in recent years, 0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:13.600 did not you know, put up the greatest challenge, shall 0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:16.600 we say, they were out manned and and you know, 0:10:16.640 --> 0:10:18.800 teams beat the Sixers. Well this now the Sixers are 0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:22.520 doing that the other teams and finishing strong and taking 0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:24.840 care of business. And that's part of the reason. You know, 0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:26.679 this was a chunk of the schedule you looked at 0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:29.120 was favorable. Well, I mean, but you got to go 0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:31.360 out and execute and get it done. And they've done 0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:34.200 that with ten straight wins. And now you come home again, 0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:36.439 Brooklyn Feistie, they're not packing it in. They had a 0:10:36.480 --> 0:10:39.000 great win on the road last night against Miami. You 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:43.280 go out to Detroit and it's just it's like Brett 0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:45.200 Brown said, you're in the flow, in the stream of 0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:48.160 an NBA season and the current takes you, and right 0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:50.080 now the current is going on the most positive of 0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:52.560 ways for the Sixers. Well, Tom, one of the better 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:55.479 team wins on the season knowing what was not available 0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:58.040 to them and what they needed to get done.

One one nineteen one oh two 0:11:56.000 --> 0:11:58.480 victorious over the Charlotte Hornets. I'm Vine Givens. This is 0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:02.400 the postgame show here on the Sixers Radio Network. Ninety 0:12:02.520 --> 0:12:06.800 seven five the fanatic Sixers win one nineteen one h two. 0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:09.920 This is the postgame show here on the Sixers Radio Network. 0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:12.200 I'm Divine Givens with you as the Sixers have picked 0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:14.880 up their tenth in a row, making their record to 0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:19.080 forty six and thirty sixteen games over five hundred. As 0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:22.440 we stand with sixteen, I'm part of me six games remaining. 0:12:22.480 --> 0:12:25.680 Next up the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday at home. Back 0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:28.920 to back fashion for the team as they after Brooklyn 0:12:29.000 --> 0:12:31.440 on Tuesday, they had to Detroit to take on the 0:12:31.480 --> 0:12:34.080 Pistons and then of course a big showdown with the 0:12:34.080 --> 0:12:37.000 Cleveland Cavaliers next Friday. But first we get to the 0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:40.640 highlights of this afternoon's contest, where things got off to 0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:42.560 a bit of a slow start in the first quarter 0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:46.360 with both teams overall, where the Hornets went up quickly 0:12:46.360 --> 0:12:48.920 with a five oh lead. Ben Simmons then stopped that 0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:51.000 one with a quick lay in to give it a 0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:54.040 five to two score. Charlotte JJ Reddick followed up with 0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:56.600 a three pointer to make it five five. But as 0:12:56.600 --> 0:12:59.920 Ben Simmons has done overall, finding a way to get 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:02.440 it done, not only for himself before his teammates, this 0:13:02.520 --> 0:13:05.160 time in a different fashion. He shot it right handed, 0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:07.360 he missed it. Oh. Simmons pose a little trick. He 0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:10.040 puts it up of kid Gilchris had his back to 0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:13.040 the basket. Ben Simmons instead of throwing it to a 0:13:13.120 --> 0:13:15.600 six or threw it off kid Gilchris or gathered him 0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:18.439 back in and got the layouf big inbounds played by 0:13:18.440 --> 0:13:21.000 Ben Simmons. As we talk about quite often with Brett 0:13:21.000 --> 0:13:24.120 Brown and his aftertime out play calls, we can't give 0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:26.040 this credit to Brett Brown. You have to give it 0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:29.720 to Ben Simmons. With get kid Gilchris guarding underneath the basket, 0:13:29.760 --> 0:13:33.040 back turned Ben Simmons recognizing that he could get the 0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:35.720 basketball off of his back, which is legal of course 0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:39.520 at being a touch by the defender catching it, establishing 0:13:39.600 --> 0:13:41.840 himself inbound going up for the layup to make it 0:13:41.880 --> 0:13:45.240 eleven seven Philadelphia with the advantage after that point. Robert 0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:50.720 partner Rashaun Holmes active this afternoon seventeen minutes, twenty seven seconds, 0:13:50.760 --> 0:13:53.960 three or three from the floor, six points nine rebounds 0:13:54.000 --> 0:13:57.160 off of a rebound. He also converts a dunk to 0:13:57.200 --> 0:14:00.760 make it seventeen fifteen six Ers. Then mark el folds, 0:14:00.840 --> 0:14:03.440 of course, the story being him returning this week game 0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:06.000 number three for him, gaining him a four for him 0:14:06.040 --> 0:14:08.560 part of me. He shows not only can he do 0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:12.160 it offensively, but defensively to make an impact. So folks 0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:14.320 with an impact on that play at the defensive end. 0:14:14.320 --> 0:14:16.520 Now he has the dribble, drives it on, hurting Gomes 0:14:16.600 --> 0:14:20.200 high off the glass, humping good Marquel, fol Hush. Spectacular 0:14:20.320 --> 0:14:23.760 play at both ends of the floor, and the Sixers 0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:26.960 take a six point lead, their largest lead of the game. 0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:29.600 Two of the mark el Foltz is four points on 0:14:29.640 --> 0:14:32.400 the afternoon that made a twenty six twenty one six Ers. 0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:35.840 Twenty nine twenty eight was the score after the first frame. 0:14:36.200 --> 0:14:38.760 JJ Reddick, as Tom again has talked about during the 0:14:39.600 --> 0:14:41.760 connection that we had with him at the Spectrum Center. 0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:45.400 JJ Reddick with a great take it back reverse, layup, 0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:48.960 back over to JJ Reddick, drives it underhand, scoop lab 0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:53.400 JJ Reddick taps in that he found of youth a 0:14:53.640 --> 0:14:57.240 right to laft reverse and DJ McConnell mimicky that on 0:14:57.400 --> 0:15:01.560 the sideline looks like an air traffic control. The old 0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:05.080 JJ Reddick with the duke reverse layup, if you will 0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:07.960 slipping underneath the basket with the left hand, if you 0:15:08.000 --> 0:15:11.040 will to convert that basket to make it thirty three 0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:14.040 thirty three tie. At that point, Ben Simmons converted a 0:15:14.640 --> 0:15:17.600 pass to Marco Bellielli for layup to make it forty 0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:21.080 one thirty four sixers. Simmons has his hands over a 0:15:21.200 --> 0:15:23.800 lot of things here in this game, of course, having 0:15:23.880 --> 0:15:27.760 fifteen assists as you can expect. Then he also gets 0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:30.280 into a baseline jump shot to make it forty seven 0:15:30.440 --> 0:15:33.800 forty two, which was four straight baskets, four straight points four. 0:15:33.840 --> 0:15:38.760 Ben Simmons also Ben Simmons making Marco Bellnelli, as Tom 0:15:38.760 --> 0:15:41.200 again has talked about, with the difficult shot fifty six 0:15:41.320 --> 0:15:45.320 fifty nine, following up JJ Reddick fifty eight fifty one 0:15:45.400 --> 0:15:47.520 with a jump apart of me with a jump shot 0:15:47.560 --> 0:15:51.200 from Bellinelli but then Ben Simmons, showing off his athleticism 0:15:51.200 --> 0:15:53.920 to in the quarter, just got it head boom hay 0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:59.160 reverse two head backward jamp. Ben Simmons and the Sixers 0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:03.520 sixty and the horn. It's fifty one. They jammed Kembo 0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:06.280 Walker and made him cough it up. That was the 0:16:06.360 --> 0:16:09.360 score at the half, sixty to fifty one, courtesy of 0:16:09.400 --> 0:16:14.120 Ben Simmons's reverse dunk to end the second quarter. Quarter three, 0:16:14.480 --> 0:16:16.920 much of the same for the Sixes. Robert Covington comes 0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:19.640 right out of the locker room converts the layup sixty 0:16:19.640 --> 0:16:22.640 two to fifty three. Ben Simmons with a fade away 0:16:22.680 --> 0:16:25.040 to give him a ten point advantage. And to win 0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:27.240 without your two of your starters and two of your 0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:29.680 best players, a charge you to be very impressive. Here's 0:16:29.680 --> 0:16:32.720 Ben with a turnaround up and good again. Simmons going 0:16:32.760 --> 0:16:34.760 away for the basket, but puts it off, Arc on 0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:38.960 it and Ben is six for ten twelve points. JJ 0:16:39.040 --> 0:16:41.240 Reddick gives the Sixes at thirteen point lead with a 0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:44.400 three pointer after Simmons's jumper to make it sixty eight 0:16:44.480 --> 0:16:47.160 fifty five. Simmons with a one hand pass to Robert 0:16:47.200 --> 0:16:50.480 Covington with basically a bullet pass right pass half court 0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:53.240 in stride to allow Robert Covington to convert the layup 0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:57.400 seventy six seventy one. T J McConnell in his minutes 0:16:57.480 --> 0:17:00.720 off of the bench eighteen minutes of play six points 0:17:00.960 --> 0:17:04.399 two points four layup on one particular sequence to make 0:17:04.440 --> 0:17:07.840 it eighty two seventy one. But then just a great 0:17:07.880 --> 0:17:10.879 sequence here on both sides of the floor for the 0:17:10.880 --> 0:17:13.520 six is starting with Covington and ending with Ben Simmons. 0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:16.320 Covington cuts a lot of the covingtonity, jams at an 0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:20.280 alley oop jam from the baseline as Ben Simmons with 0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:23.440 the dish and from his backside he feeds it. Here's 0:17:23.480 --> 0:17:26.960 Simmons another reverse helly oop jam. He's putting on a 0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:31.520 show head North Carolina. Ben Simmons jams at eighty six 0:17:31.680 --> 0:17:34.960 seventy one after the Simmons duncan again, we talked about 0:17:34.960 --> 0:17:38.440 the atos the after timehouse calls from Brett Brown, who 0:17:38.480 --> 0:17:41.840 won with Covington. That was a play that we've seen 0:17:41.880 --> 0:17:45.120 over the last couple of weeks converted by this basketball team, 0:17:45.160 --> 0:17:47.560 not necessarily always with the dunk, but maybe a layup 0:17:47.560 --> 0:17:50.720 from Robert Covington that made it again eighty four seventy one, 0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:53.920 followed by Simmons is down to eighty six seventy one 0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:56.520 and at that point of the game eighteen points, thirteen 0:17:56.560 --> 0:17:59.720 assists four Ben Simmons end of three ninety one seventy 0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:01.920 eight Sixes. They never really let it up at all. 0:18:01.960 --> 0:18:05.800 Ear sound at Iliosilva another solid contribution, this time in 0:18:05.840 --> 0:18:08.760 a starting role in for an injured Dario Charge. Two 0:18:08.800 --> 0:18:12.000 free throws by Hendayez, but Iliosilva counters with the three 0:18:12.040 --> 0:18:16.680 by the Sixers. As ear sound Iliosova. Back to back 0:18:16.720 --> 0:18:19.720 double digit games. He's got sixteen points in this one, 0:18:19.760 --> 0:18:24.200 he's got four threes, and the Sixers by seventeen ninety 0:18:24.240 --> 0:18:27.320 seven eighty the Sixes JJ Reddick back to back threes. 0:18:27.359 --> 0:18:30.119 As we talk about it, Elo sound Iliosilva with the 0:18:30.240 --> 0:18:32.320 one three point in JJ Reddick follows it up to 0:18:32.320 --> 0:18:35.520 give them the twenty point advantage. Timeout Hornets at that point. 0:18:35.520 --> 0:18:38.480 But Robert Covington, we talked about his alley oops and 0:18:38.600 --> 0:18:41.199 his dunks and the things that he's done overall in 0:18:41.240 --> 0:18:43.960 this game to help the Sixes with the advantage. One 0:18:44.000 --> 0:18:47.159 thing that we're certainly accustomed to with Robert Covington is 0:18:47.200 --> 0:18:50.600 a shot from behind the yard, Simmons with it, Collis 0:18:50.600 --> 0:18:52.720 over to coving To three balls shot in the air 0:18:52.840 --> 0:18:57.280 and it's good. Simmons now fifteen assists. Covington gets his 0:18:57.400 --> 0:19:00.160 first three of the game and the Sixers lead by 0:19:00.320 --> 0:19:05.480 seventeen one nine two, his only three pointer on the afternoon. 0:19:05.520 --> 0:19:08.320 His time again has pointed out on nine attempts, that one, 0:19:08.359 --> 0:19:10.760 of course a big one to give them that seventeen 0:19:10.840 --> 0:19:14.760 point advantage. Thereafter, Covington with another steal leading to another 0:19:14.800 --> 0:19:18.920 Ben Simmons reverse dunk one eleven ninety four, Marco Belinelli 0:19:19.040 --> 0:19:22.280 with a off balance three pointer plus the foul one 0:19:22.440 --> 0:19:26.439 fifteen ninety seven. Only four more points scored by the 0:19:26.480 --> 0:19:30.600 Sixers after that one nineteen one h two the final four, 0:19:30.720 --> 0:19:33.760 the team winning their tenth in a row, improving their 0:19:33.760 --> 0:19:36.800 record to forty six and thirty sixteen games over five 0:19:36.880 --> 0:19:40.240 hundred six games to go during on the regular season, 0:19:40.240 --> 0:19:43.480 as the Charlotte Hornets falls to thirty four and forty 0:19:43.520 --> 0:19:47.840 four on the season after this particular game. Defensive job 0:19:47.920 --> 0:19:51.000 overall really good for the Sixers, even though they relinquished 0:19:51.040 --> 0:19:53.720 one hundred and two points, not really letting any of 0:19:53.760 --> 0:19:56.840 their stars go off, and Kimba Walker and Dwight Howard 0:19:57.040 --> 0:20:00.400 holding them boats to ten points of piece on six 0:20:00.640 --> 0:20:03.520 of fourteen shooting from the field, both over twenty five 0:20:03.520 --> 0:20:06.080 minutes of play, So a very good job defensively by 0:20:06.119 --> 0:20:09.440 the Philadelphia seventy six ers. As we mentioned, five sixers 0:20:09.520 --> 0:20:12.560 in double figures, starting with JJ Reddick and Ben Simmons 0:20:12.560 --> 0:20:17.040 tied with twenty twenty points at piece, Robert Covington seventeen points, 0:20:17.080 --> 0:20:20.880 ear sign Iliasolva in for Dario charge with sixteen on 0:20:20.920 --> 0:20:24.080 the afternoon, but bark Marco Belinelli nine of ten from 0:20:24.080 --> 0:20:27.000 the floor twenty two points getting in them mix and 0:20:27.040 --> 0:20:29.399 this time pointed out the one shot that he missed 0:20:29.680 --> 0:20:32.720 was a fadal Way off balance out of bounds with 0:20:32.800 --> 0:20:36.080 time expiring into the half, and he missed the three pointer. Okay, 0:20:36.119 --> 0:20:39.080 it doesn't really count. He was basically perfect on the 0:20:39.119 --> 0:20:42.520 afternoon with twenty two points and they needed every bit 0:20:42.520 --> 0:20:44.760 of it. At the center position in for Joel Eenbid 0:20:44.760 --> 0:20:47.960 Amir Johnson thirty minutes and thirty two seconds one of 0:20:48.040 --> 0:20:51.000 five from the floor. Not much from the offensive standpoint 0:20:51.040 --> 0:20:53.520 for the veteran big man, but that's not normally what 0:20:53.680 --> 0:20:56.040 you have him for. It's about the defense, and as 0:20:56.080 --> 0:20:58.680 we pointed out, Dwight Howard was only four or seven 0:20:58.720 --> 0:21:00.840 from the floor for his ten points, So I would 0:21:00.880 --> 0:21:03.840 think that Emir Johnson did a solid job overall. Other 0:21:03.960 --> 0:21:07.040 center Rashaun Holmes coming in giving that energy that he's 0:21:07.080 --> 0:21:10.000 we're accustomed to seeing from Rashaun Holmes three or three 0:21:10.040 --> 0:21:13.800 from the floor for nine rebounds, six six points on 0:21:13.840 --> 0:21:17.080 the afternoon for the young big man as the Sixers 0:21:17.080 --> 0:21:20.240
