WEBVTT - Rewind vs. Orlando Magic - 12/27/19

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:03.360
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to rewind. They listen back on press conferences,

0:00:03.480 --> 0:00:08.880
<v Speaker 1>highlights and analysis from the seventy sixers previous game. Not

0:00:08.960 --> 0:00:12.960
<v Speaker 1>a good one for the Philadelphia seventy Sixers tonight in Orlando,

0:00:13.640 --> 0:00:18.119
<v Speaker 1>losing to the Magic an Amway Center ninety seven. Disappointing

0:00:18.160 --> 0:00:23.480
<v Speaker 1>follow up to the really energizing, invigorating Christmas Day victory

0:00:23.480 --> 0:00:28.000
<v Speaker 1>over the Milwaukee Bucks. I'm Brian Seltzer. If you heard

0:00:28.040 --> 0:00:30.760
<v Speaker 1>the head coach afterwards and you were saying yourself, a way,

0:00:30.800 --> 0:00:34.400
<v Speaker 1>was that really Brett Brown? It was lasted his postgame

0:00:34.400 --> 0:00:37.879
<v Speaker 1>address about one hundred twenty seconds at the most. He

0:00:38.000 --> 0:00:40.839
<v Speaker 1>was not happy. You can understand why the seventy sixers

0:00:41.320 --> 0:00:43.440
<v Speaker 1>came out. It just seemed like stuck in a little

0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:45.959
<v Speaker 1>bit of mud. To borrow a phrase that Brett likes

0:00:46.000 --> 0:00:49.240
<v Speaker 1>to use. They committed sixteen turnovers in the game. Their

0:00:49.360 --> 0:00:52.360
<v Speaker 1>play was not really in any way reflective of what

0:00:52.440 --> 0:00:55.800
<v Speaker 1>we saw in Wednesday's game. You know Orlando as a

0:00:55.840 --> 0:00:58.400
<v Speaker 1>team that hey, despite the fact that they were four

0:00:58.440 --> 0:01:00.880
<v Speaker 1>games under five hundred coming in two Tonight's game, they

0:01:00.880 --> 0:01:03.160
<v Speaker 1>were the eighth ranked team in the Eastern Conference, and

0:01:03.200 --> 0:01:05.480
<v Speaker 1>if you file the seventy Sixers. You know, Orlando has

0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:09.760
<v Speaker 1>given the Sixers some tough times. They have solid individual

0:01:09.800 --> 0:01:12.280
<v Speaker 1>talent and certainly a good enough team that if you

0:01:12.319 --> 0:01:15.480
<v Speaker 1>give them a chance, they can be pesky and feisty

0:01:15.560 --> 0:01:18.360
<v Speaker 1>and make life difficult on you. They slow the game down,

0:01:18.520 --> 0:01:22.080
<v Speaker 1>they play respectable defense, and the seventy Sixers could not

0:01:22.160 --> 0:01:24.280
<v Speaker 1>find their way out tonight. Where was this game lost?

0:01:24.280 --> 0:01:27.360
<v Speaker 1>This evening? Seventy Sixers seemed like they had a spark

0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:29.640
<v Speaker 1>in the beginning of the third quarter. They went up

0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:32.480
<v Speaker 1>by the score of sixty two to fifty four on

0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:35.240
<v Speaker 1>a Joel and Beat three pointer. Then after that they

0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:38.720
<v Speaker 1>gave up a twenty one to six run, totally let

0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:41.520
<v Speaker 1>their foot off the gas, and that gave Orlando life.

0:01:41.880 --> 0:01:45.440
<v Speaker 1>Sixers got back within three points in the fourth quarter

0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:48.480
<v Speaker 1>eighty one seventy eight, but then the magic hit them

0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:50.840
<v Speaker 1>with a ten to two run to get enough insurance

0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:53.920
<v Speaker 1>to finally get across the finish line. Sixers did make

0:01:53.920 --> 0:01:56.400
<v Speaker 1>an interesting with five to three pointers in the final

0:01:56.480 --> 0:01:59.920
<v Speaker 1>ninety seconds of regulation. They got some help from markul Foltz,

0:02:00.000 --> 0:02:03.360
<v Speaker 1>whom is two free throws which gave the Sixers another shot,

0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:06.440
<v Speaker 1>but in the end they were not able to pull

0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:09.120
<v Speaker 1>this one out tonight. They lose by a point eight

0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:11.600
<v Speaker 1>ninety seven. Tommy Ginnis had the call of this one

0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:14.880
<v Speaker 1>at Amway Center tonight. Tom, Like I'm sure many of

0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:17.000
<v Speaker 1>you people out there have been listening to Brett Brown

0:02:17.040 --> 0:02:20.120
<v Speaker 1>as fans for seven years, and Tom, we have not

0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:23.240
<v Speaker 1>heard many postgame press conferences, not to labor point quite

0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:26.760
<v Speaker 1>like that. I thought it was noteworthy, no doubt about it.

0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:28.639
<v Speaker 1>Just repeat that real quick. I was talking to my

0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:31.320
<v Speaker 1>buddy Dark Dennis Newman, Say, Brian, what just saying Tom

0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:33.880
<v Speaker 1>that For anyone who's listened to Brett Brown over the

0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:36.520
<v Speaker 1>last six plus seasons, there haven't been too many postgame

0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:39.400
<v Speaker 1>press conferences quite like that. And not to belabor the point,

0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:41.120
<v Speaker 1>but you could tell he wasn't happy with what he

0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:45.640
<v Speaker 1>saw tonight and understandably so no question about it. I mean, again,

0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:49.880
<v Speaker 1>where was the urgency in the first what thirty eight

0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:53.280
<v Speaker 1>minutes of the game? For forty something minutes and you

0:02:53.400 --> 0:02:55.799
<v Speaker 1>just can't cruise in this league. These teams are too good.

0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:58.720
<v Speaker 1>They're playing at home, and you know the Sixers. It

0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:01.320
<v Speaker 1>just again, it was Orlando, wasn't they It's not like

0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:03.320
<v Speaker 1>they were playing lights out and they weren't playing all

0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:05.520
<v Speaker 1>that well either. Both teams were shooting low forties in

0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:08.600
<v Speaker 1>terms of percentage, And yeah, you can't you can't blame

0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:13.000
<v Speaker 1>coach for being dejected, and yet you know it's all

0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:15.840
<v Speaker 1>part of it. So no that it's really frustrating, you

0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:19.280
<v Speaker 1>know because again everybody he came down here and even

0:03:19.280 --> 0:03:21.280
<v Speaker 1>the people around the manage like, WHOA, what a game

0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:23.480
<v Speaker 1>by you guys. I mean, you know, everybody was impressed

0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:25.640
<v Speaker 1>around the league, around the country watching that game by

0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:28.840
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers on Wednesday. And then they come down here

0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:32.720
<v Speaker 1>and play like this and lose. It's tough. And now

0:03:32.760 --> 0:03:35.720
<v Speaker 1>you got a huge back to back with Miami, and

0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:38.440
<v Speaker 1>you know they have one of the best home records also,

0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:41.280
<v Speaker 1>so you got to come back with a nice rebound

0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:45.040
<v Speaker 1>effort in the game tomorrow night to try to salvage

0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:48.520
<v Speaker 1>this weekend. Down in Florida. Seventy six Ers lose freight.

0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:51.200
<v Speaker 1>And this is just kind of a bizarre streak time

0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:54.480
<v Speaker 1>the fourth straight time in Orlando, kind of like, go figure,

0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:56.160
<v Speaker 1>It's not like the Magic have been world beaters the

0:03:56.200 --> 0:03:58.880
<v Speaker 1>last couple of seasons. The Sixers lost there earlier in

0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:00.840
<v Speaker 1>the year on November the third sEH The final score

0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:03.560
<v Speaker 1>tonight was ninety eight ninety seven, And I'm trying to

0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:06.440
<v Speaker 1>think of maybe some common themes time to what's given

0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:09.520
<v Speaker 1>the seventy six Ers some problems against Orlando. I mean,

0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:11.160
<v Speaker 1>do you make anything of the fact that the Magic

0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:14.440
<v Speaker 1>play a little bit slower than most teams. It seems

0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:16.920
<v Speaker 1>like they'd prefer to times get it into a half

0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:19.320
<v Speaker 1>court game. I don't know if that goes against the

0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:21.800
<v Speaker 1>Sixers style too much, but I'm just trying to tie

0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:25.320
<v Speaker 1>some threads together now it's good and just you know,

0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:28.440
<v Speaker 1>repeating kind of what Aaron Gordon our postgame guests said.

0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:31.920
<v Speaker 1>They liked the matchup, so they put Gordon on Ben

0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:35.920
<v Speaker 1>and I don't know how effective that was. I don't

0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:39.480
<v Speaker 1>think that, you know, GARYL. Gordon gotten foiled difficulty. Vosovic

0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:41.960
<v Speaker 1>still gets his double doubles against him Bead, so it's

0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:45.159
<v Speaker 1>not like that that almost and Joel had more points,

0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:48.880
<v Speaker 1>but the rebounds were virtually even. Fortier's a difficult cover

0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:53.279
<v Speaker 1>now defensively, he's got a guard. Tobias Ross has always

0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:55.640
<v Speaker 1>heard the Sixers DJ Augustine was only one of seven

0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:57.360
<v Speaker 1>he was in a major in but they really other

0:04:57.400 --> 0:05:00.560
<v Speaker 1>than Terrence Ross their bench didn't do a whole lot.

0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:03.120
<v Speaker 1>He had seventeen. He's always he's a good score against

0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:05.120
<v Speaker 1>every team. He'd probably start for a lot of teams.

0:05:05.960 --> 0:05:08.680
<v Speaker 1>And yeah, I mean when you say four in a row,

0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:10.880
<v Speaker 1>what was the last win? Might have been that TJ.

0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:13.320
<v Speaker 1>McConnell game where he hit the big pull up shot

0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:17.880
<v Speaker 1>to beat them. Right, But you know, overall, not just

0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:21.680
<v Speaker 1>this group, but you know throughout the years, Orlando, certainly

0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:24.479
<v Speaker 1>of the last ten to fifteen years, they've they've ruled

0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:27.600
<v Speaker 1>against the sixers. And it's confounding, you know. I mean

0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:29.880
<v Speaker 1>because a lot of that stuff, a lot of these

0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:32.080
<v Speaker 1>stats that were given prior to the game. Seriously, there's

0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:35.279
<v Speaker 1>stats about how teams do on days of the week. Okay,

0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:39.480
<v Speaker 1>does that really matter what happens on Tuesday night versus Friday.

0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:41.720
<v Speaker 1>So some of it's a bunch of hooey and a

0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:44.080
<v Speaker 1>lot of time when so and so hasn't beaten so

0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:46.920
<v Speaker 1>and so and well, yeah, you know Ben Simmons was

0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:48.680
<v Speaker 1>five when that was a stat you know, so that

0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:52.560
<v Speaker 1>doesn't matter either. So that's what I mean, Like, you know,

0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:55.320
<v Speaker 1>this group right here, all that stuff said go by

0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:57.920
<v Speaker 1>the wayside, but not unless you make it go, by

0:05:57.960 --> 0:06:00.080
<v Speaker 1>the way, not unless you impact it with the with

0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:03.560
<v Speaker 1>your playing execution and drive and and like that, and

0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:06.960
<v Speaker 1>so it continues to be a thing. And uh, you know,

0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:10.760
<v Speaker 1>a frustrating night for the Sixers. And again it's one game,

0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:14.479
<v Speaker 1>just like the unbelievable game against Milwaukee was one game.

0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:17.400
<v Speaker 1>But you'd just like to see, you know, trending and

0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:22.120
<v Speaker 1>tracking in a more upwardly consistent method. Absolutely. Now the

0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:24.400
<v Speaker 1>seventy sixers, is you alluded to earlier time, they have

0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:27.320
<v Speaker 1>a major matchup with the Miami Heat, the team the

0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:30.760
<v Speaker 1>seventy sixers have faced so far more frequently than any

0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:33.880
<v Speaker 1>other on this young season. Miami a tight one with

0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:37.120
<v Speaker 1>Indie eighty forty two. The Heat lead it after three quarters,

0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:39.840
<v Speaker 1>but just got one second, I think, Frank, we get

0:06:39.839 --> 0:06:45.440
<v Speaker 1>the locker room. Here's the bias coming into tonight, you guys,

0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:48.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean you knew the deal, right, Yeah, we knew

0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:53.960
<v Speaker 1>the deal. Um Every opponent um no offers a different

0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:57.320
<v Speaker 1>a different um aspect of a different element of the game.

0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:01.919
<v Speaker 1>And we got a fine ways no matter what opponent

0:07:02.040 --> 0:07:05.920
<v Speaker 1>it is, to figure out ways to go to what

0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:08.719
<v Speaker 1>we'll get us a victory hand to win. And tonight

0:07:08.760 --> 0:07:10.440
<v Speaker 1>we didn't. We didn't stick to the script of what

0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:13.760
<v Speaker 1>we you know what, what could have got us that?

0:07:14.120 --> 0:07:16.960
<v Speaker 1>Do you see the level of opponent playing into your

0:07:16.960 --> 0:07:23.000
<v Speaker 1>guys's performances. I think we play too sometimes to the

0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:27.440
<v Speaker 1>level of our opponent, whether that be you know, a

0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:31.200
<v Speaker 1>terrible team, a mediocre team, or the best team in

0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:34.880
<v Speaker 1>the NBA. So um, I think that's something that we

0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:37.720
<v Speaker 1>have to figure out as as a unit of how

0:07:37.760 --> 0:07:43.240
<v Speaker 1>we can play at a high level each and every night. Um, tonight,

0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:45.040
<v Speaker 1>we didn't do that, And you have to give them

0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:48.240
<v Speaker 1>credit to a day. They executed all night. They got

0:07:48.240 --> 0:07:51.560
<v Speaker 1>what they wanted offensively, defensively, they got a game plan

0:07:51.680 --> 0:07:54.920
<v Speaker 1>on how they wanted to play us, and I don't

0:07:54.960 --> 0:07:58.160
<v Speaker 1>think we did a good job. I don't think we

0:07:58.200 --> 0:08:00.240
<v Speaker 1>did a good job of adapting of how they would

0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:03.680
<v Speaker 1>put a defensively. That's Tobias Harris. Go ahead, Brian, Sorry,

0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:06.200
<v Speaker 1>I thought maybe that might help your post game coverage

0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:09.120
<v Speaker 1>a little bit. No, and it's Hey, some interesting insights

0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:11.640
<v Speaker 1>that Tobias Harris speaking to a subject that I feel

0:08:11.640 --> 0:08:13.480
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people have brought up at some point

0:08:13.480 --> 0:08:15.400
<v Speaker 1>over the course of the season, seventy six ers and

0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:18.520
<v Speaker 1>the level of their competition, and certainly, tom you would

0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:20.040
<v Speaker 1>think that tomorrow night what I was going to segue

0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:23.320
<v Speaker 1>too earlier. Six Ers have this yet another important matchup

0:08:23.320 --> 0:08:26.320
<v Speaker 1>with the Miami Heat Heat leading India after three quarters

0:08:26.360 --> 0:08:28.480
<v Speaker 1>eighty four eighty two. But Miami in the seventy six

0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:31.040
<v Speaker 1>Ers or the two best home teams left in the NBA,

0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:33.439
<v Speaker 1>the Heat have lost just once in fourteen tries in

0:08:33.520 --> 0:08:36.640
<v Speaker 1>American airlines in arena, and it was Miami that put

0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:38.840
<v Speaker 1>that at least many blueprint out in the seventy six

0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:40.719
<v Speaker 1>Ers with the zone defense just a week and a

0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:44.040
<v Speaker 1>half ago, right in intriguing. Some plot hadn't given that

0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:46.400
<v Speaker 1>any thought. But you'd be surprised if you didn't see

0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:50.480
<v Speaker 1>Coach Bolster throw that out there. Certainly, if by any chance,

0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:52.720
<v Speaker 1>the six Ers jump out to the early league just

0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:55.840
<v Speaker 1>to change it now, I'd be surprised if you see

0:08:55.880 --> 0:08:59.200
<v Speaker 1>it for two, three, four quarters or the second, third

0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:01.599
<v Speaker 1>and fourth quarter as we did in those back to

0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:05.240
<v Speaker 1>back home games with Miami and Dallas, and Brett Brown

0:09:05.320 --> 0:09:07.720
<v Speaker 1>was saying, that will benefit the Sixers down the road,

0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:09.400
<v Speaker 1>and we'll find out, because you know it's going to

0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:12.839
<v Speaker 1>happen again. We didn't see it here tonight. But yeah, no,

0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:15.360
<v Speaker 1>that's a it's a pivotal matchup because you know, all

0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:18.400
<v Speaker 1>these teams, you know, forget the number one seat. I'm

0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:20.480
<v Speaker 1>not saying forget it. It's not gonna happen, forget the

0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:22.920
<v Speaker 1>number one, but like, just get a home seat for

0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:24.960
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers. And now you're you know, you're thirty four

0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:28.360
<v Speaker 1>games into the schedule, and I realize it's still you know,

0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:32.040
<v Speaker 1>it's still early. We're not even halfway through. But there's

0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:35.040
<v Speaker 1>certainly you know, these teams don't appear to be going anywhere.

0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:37.480
<v Speaker 1>Boston's not going anywhere. I mean they want again today

0:09:37.520 --> 0:09:39.960
<v Speaker 1>they're a top the division, and so the you know,

0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:43.240
<v Speaker 1>the teams in terms of the Pacers, the Raptors, Indiana's

0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:46.400
<v Speaker 1>gonna get all the depot back in January February, you know,

0:09:46.600 --> 0:09:49.320
<v Speaker 1>the you know, the Bucks aren't going anywhere. The Sixers

0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:52.560
<v Speaker 1>are certainly in that mix. So to buy for you know,

0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:54.720
<v Speaker 1>as in years past, just to get a home seat

0:09:55.040 --> 0:09:58.640
<v Speaker 1>in the top four in the playoffs is important. So

0:09:59.240 --> 0:10:02.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, games, these head to head matchups with Miami

0:10:02.400 --> 0:10:04.800
<v Speaker 1>could be telling down the stretch, and again more than

0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:08.160
<v Speaker 1>anything of where you are ability to go on the

0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:11.320
<v Speaker 1>road and proved yourself that you can win a big game.

0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:15.600
<v Speaker 1>That's important as well. Seventy Sixers drop a one point

0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:18.439
<v Speaker 1>loss to the Orlando Magic at Amway Center tonight ninety

0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:21.120
<v Speaker 1>eight ninety seven, Tom will hear from you tomorrow when

0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:23.800
<v Speaker 1>the seventy Sixers visit the Heat. All right, good night,

0:10:23.840 --> 0:10:27.920
<v Speaker 1>thank you. Twenty four points, eleven rebounds from Tobias Harris

0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:31.439
<v Speaker 1>and Joel Embi. They had identical point and rebound numbers.

0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:34.640
<v Speaker 1>But the seventy Sixers lose a disappointing one tonight to

0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:37.319
<v Speaker 1>the Magic and a follow up to Wednesday's win big

0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:40.120
<v Speaker 1>win over the Milwaukee Bucks. I hope was that the

0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:43.199
<v Speaker 1>seventy Sixers, coming into the opener of a four game

0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:46.120
<v Speaker 1>road trip tonight at Amway Center would extend the good

0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:50.160
<v Speaker 1>that we saw on Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks.

0:10:50.320 --> 0:10:51.920
<v Speaker 1>It was not to be able. We'll give you some

0:10:52.040 --> 0:10:54.880
<v Speaker 1>highlights regardless, because we strive for consistency here on the

0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:58.640
<v Speaker 1>seventy Sixers postgame show. Things did get off to a

0:10:58.679 --> 0:11:02.840
<v Speaker 1>relatively solid starting to Ben Simmons six five, three minutes

0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:04.920
<v Speaker 1>gone by Sixers and the half court Richards in the

0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:07.760
<v Speaker 1>line back out to Joel down to Simmons. Simmons going

0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:10.360
<v Speaker 1>against Bussovich skyhook banks it up and in going left

0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:13.480
<v Speaker 1>the right. Fluid play by Simmons gave the seventy six

0:11:13.600 --> 0:11:15.600
<v Speaker 1>Ers a seven to six lead. Thanks to some good

0:11:15.640 --> 0:11:18.360
<v Speaker 1>free throw shooting in the first quarter, seventy six Ers

0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:21.160
<v Speaker 1>nudged in front twenty one nineteen after twelve minutes of play.

0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:23.480
<v Speaker 1>In the second quarter, Sixers actually got a little bit

0:11:23.520 --> 0:11:25.640
<v Speaker 1>of breathing. Then with a rebound, they're back with four

0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:28.800
<v Speaker 1>defenders Simmons that have followed out the Furk hunt for three,

0:11:28.840 --> 0:11:31.480
<v Speaker 1>and it's good court bars against tight defense on the

0:11:31.520 --> 0:11:34.560
<v Speaker 1>near perimeter. And in DJ August team was right there,

0:11:34.600 --> 0:11:38.199
<v Speaker 1>but Courtmas shot over the top and inn that gave

0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:40.800
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers a thirty nine thirty four advantage. Their lead

0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:44.200
<v Speaker 1>was one forty seven forty six at halftime. In the

0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:47.280
<v Speaker 1>third quarter, you kind of thought the Sixers might have

0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:49.320
<v Speaker 1>been in a good spot to take control of the game.

0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:54.080
<v Speaker 1>Joel spins, thanks, now there, he might have walked to

0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:57.200
<v Speaker 1>Bias with it five is shoot back to Ebid and

0:11:57.320 --> 0:12:00.280
<v Speaker 1>it's good for three. Wow, that was like a think

0:12:00.360 --> 0:12:02.880
<v Speaker 1>possession and it ends with a beautiful three point shot

0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:06.000
<v Speaker 1>by Ebad It was a really impressive make by the

0:12:06.040 --> 0:12:08.600
<v Speaker 1>All Star to give the Sixers a sixty two fifty

0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:11.160
<v Speaker 1>four edge eight point lead, the biggest of the night,

0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:12.480
<v Speaker 1>and it would be the biggest the game for the

0:12:12.520 --> 0:12:15.840
<v Speaker 1>seventy Sixers. From there, everything changed. The Magic hit the

0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:19.240
<v Speaker 1>seventy Sixers with a twenty one to six run that

0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:22.280
<v Speaker 1>bridge the third and fourth quarters. Orlando led seventy to

0:12:22.400 --> 0:12:25.520
<v Speaker 1>sixty eight after the third. Early in the fourth, Tobias

0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:29.439
<v Speaker 1>Harrison the Sixers playing catchup, Sixers with Horford down at Tobias.

0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:31.439
<v Speaker 1>Tobias with a size advantage on the backdown in the

0:12:31.520 --> 0:12:33.480
<v Speaker 1>nine on forty eight turns at the dotted circle. Rema

0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:35.960
<v Speaker 1>ain't good and he had done that a number of

0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:38.040
<v Speaker 1>times in the first half. Sixers trying to exploit that

0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:42.080
<v Speaker 1>matchup Harris on the backdown Pomp Pomp pound both the

0:12:42.120 --> 0:12:45.000
<v Speaker 1>Sixers within one seventy seven, seventy six, but then the

0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:48.479
<v Speaker 1>Magic answered moments later with a ten to two spurt

0:12:48.520 --> 0:12:51.520
<v Speaker 1>that gave them a double figure lead again. Seventy Sixers

0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:54.720
<v Speaker 1>did benefit from a late flurry from beyond the arc,

0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:59.080
<v Speaker 1>Joel Embiid knocking down a three lane Horford J. Simmons,

0:12:59.120 --> 0:13:02.080
<v Speaker 1>Ben Lets it bound four times, that rolls toward mid court.

0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:05.880
<v Speaker 1>He picks it up, now dribbles along, goes to Harris,

0:13:05.920 --> 0:13:08.520
<v Speaker 1>back over to Joel. Three palled by a bead is good.

0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:11.240
<v Speaker 1>That makes it ninety seven ninety four. It was the

0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:14.079
<v Speaker 1>last of five three pointers the seventy Sixers would hit

0:13:14.520 --> 0:13:17.480
<v Speaker 1>in the final ninety seconds of regulation. And in saying that,

0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:20.120
<v Speaker 1>I realized it just gave the spoiler alert because here's

0:13:20.120 --> 0:13:22.319
<v Speaker 1>how the final play went down. Earn Gordon will play

0:13:22.360 --> 0:13:26.000
<v Speaker 1>in Busovich looks like he's gonna screen for forty a Harris.

0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:28.440
<v Speaker 1>They did bring in DJ Augustine, and they did bring

0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:31.719
<v Speaker 1>in Terence Ross. Or Orlando by a point ninety eight

0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:33.720
<v Speaker 1>ninety seven, five point one to go, and now the

0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:35.959
<v Speaker 1>magic will off of one time about the Sixers have none.

0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:39.000
<v Speaker 1>Gordon searching, searching, He plays it, Betty steals it. He

0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:41.199
<v Speaker 1>throws into a bead and be with three seconds to

0:13:41.280 --> 0:13:44.199
<v Speaker 1>be across mid court, fires for three and it's off

0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:49.000
<v Speaker 1>and short. No good. Orlando wins the game. Seventy Sixers

0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:51.440
<v Speaker 1>might have been in a position to steal one tonight.

0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:54.760
<v Speaker 1>But if you really took the truth serumon asked yourself

0:13:54.760 --> 0:13:57.520
<v Speaker 1>to the sixers deserve to win this game. Probably not.

0:13:57.559 --> 0:13:59.680
<v Speaker 1>They shot just forty percent from the field, the Magic

0:13:59.720 --> 0:14:02.880
<v Speaker 1>forty two percent. Both Orlando and the seventy Sixers hit

0:14:02.920 --> 0:14:06.439
<v Speaker 1>ten three pointers. The Sixers went seventeen of twenty one

0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:09.080
<v Speaker 1>from the free throw line. But the Magic were plus

0:14:09.120 --> 0:14:12.160
<v Speaker 1>three on the glass, they were plus three and offensive rebounding.

0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:15.400
<v Speaker 1>They controlled the Sixers in the paint, outscoring the Sixers

0:14:15.440 --> 0:14:19.440
<v Speaker 1>there forty four to thirty two. Don't often see something

0:14:19.480 --> 0:14:23.760
<v Speaker 1>like that. Sixteen turnovers a piece for either team. Orlando

0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:26.560
<v Speaker 1>with just a little bit more punch than the seventy Sixers. Tonight,

0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:30.920
<v Speaker 1>Embade and Tobias Harris, each with identical points and rebounding

0:14:30.960 --> 0:14:35.000
<v Speaker 1>lines twenty four and eleven, respectively. Fifteen points for Josh Richardson.

0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:38.080
<v Speaker 1>He also had six assists. Ben Simmons with thirteen points,

0:14:38.120 --> 0:14:41.280
<v Speaker 1>nine rebounds and seven times seven points for fir Con

0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:43.840
<v Speaker 1>Quirkmas off the bench. He was a nice spark in

0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:46.440
<v Speaker 1>the first half, but he went scoreless in the second.

0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:49.480
<v Speaker 1>Seven points for Al Horford. He had four rebounds and

0:14:49.520 --> 0:14:52.240
<v Speaker 1>five assists. Rest of the bench didn't really do a

0:14:52.240 --> 0:14:54.120
<v Speaker 1>whole heck of a lot. Two for James Ennis. The

0:14:54.200 --> 0:14:57.480
<v Speaker 1>third nothing in terms of points from Mike Scott and

0:14:57.680 --> 0:15:01.920
<v Speaker 1>just a basket and three free throws from Trey Burke.

0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:04.680
<v Speaker 1>Seventy six Ers see their three game winning street come

0:15:04.720 --> 0:15:08.320
<v Speaker 1>to an and they're now twenty three and eleven, and

0:15:08.360 --> 0:15:10.360
<v Speaker 1>you know what, I We'll just say, Hey, keep an

0:15:10.400 --> 0:15:13.120
<v Speaker 1>eye on the scoreboard to see what happens in that

0:15:13.280 --> 0:15:16.640
<v Speaker 1>indie Miami game. The Heat have opened up a five

0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:19.040
<v Speaker 1>point lead one O two ninety seven midway through the

0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:21.640
<v Speaker 1>fourth quarter. If Miami were to win, they would be

0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:23.520
<v Speaker 1>a full game in front of the seventy six Ers

0:15:23.560 --> 0:15:26.160
<v Speaker 1>for third place in the East going into tomorrow's game.

0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:28.280
<v Speaker 1>It would also be the Heat's fourth win, and they

0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:31.920
<v Speaker 1>would improve to an NBA best fourteen and one at home.

0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:35.080
<v Speaker 1>You've been listening to rewind. Look out for fresh episodes

0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:37.680
<v Speaker 1>the day after every seventy six Ers game this season.
