WEBVTT - Rewind vs. Cleveland Cavaliers - 12/7/19 0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:03.400 You're listening to rewind, they'll listen back on press conferences, 0:00:03.480 --> 0:00:09.720 highlights and analysis from the seventy sixers previous game. Wow, 0:00:09.920 --> 0:00:13.520 where to start? Man? You know I could come out 0:00:13.680 --> 0:00:17.760 and really give you my super hyped up announcer broadcaster 0:00:17.920 --> 0:00:20.360 boys and go crazy and talk with loud volume about 0:00:20.400 --> 0:00:23.079 Ben Simmons in the seventy sixers. If you've been found 0:00:23.160 --> 0:00:25.919 this game, you know you know what happened tonight. It 0:00:26.160 --> 0:00:32.000 was beyond lopsided. It was beyond a beatdown. The seventy 0:00:32.000 --> 0:00:36.840 Sixers flat out destroyed the Cleveland Cavaliers, and Ben Simmons 0:00:36.960 --> 0:00:39.479 was as big a part of it as anyone. It 0:00:39.600 --> 0:00:42.960 was a performance to remember. The seventy Sixers were missing 0:00:43.000 --> 0:00:46.040 two of their starters, Joel Embiad, an All Star and 0:00:46.120 --> 0:00:49.360 an All League candidate, and Josh Richardson Ben Simmons, who 0:00:49.400 --> 0:00:53.360 after Thursday's game, a disappointing six point loss at Washington, 0:00:53.440 --> 0:00:56.680 Ben Simmons came out and said, we gotta stay focused. 0:00:56.720 --> 0:00:59.560 We can't take any opponent lightly. We gotta do better, 0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:02.240 and you know what there could be. Leadership isn't just 0:01:02.280 --> 0:01:04.800 you know, like saying those things. It's not simply coming 0:01:04.800 --> 0:01:07.600 out and getting your team off on a good note, 0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:10.039 so to speak. You know, you come out and you 0:01:10.080 --> 0:01:13.240 swing the friggin wrecking ball. And Ben Simmons not only 0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:16.120 did that, he took glee in it. You know, he 0:01:16.240 --> 0:01:19.000 and the Sixers picked up in a full court press 0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:21.520 right out of the halftime break. They were up by 0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:25.120 a franchise record forty one points at the half. And 0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:27.959 for as much as Ben Simmons drove to the lane 0:01:27.959 --> 0:01:31.800 at will, scored at the rim with ease, knock down, 0:01:31.840 --> 0:01:34.479 a corner three point, all that great stuff and route 0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:36.840 to a career high thirty four points, he set the 0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:40.160 tone defensively as well, and on both ends of the 0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:44.399 court tonight, Ben Simmons was one of the best NBA 0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:47.360 players in a game. In this isolated moment, you'll see 0:01:47.520 --> 0:01:49.440 it was just that type of night. It was crazy 0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:51.840 thirty four points for him. He missed only two of 0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:54.080 his fourteen shots. He hit a three his only attempt 0:01:54.120 --> 0:01:57.000 from outside the arc, nine of twelve from the free 0:01:57.000 --> 0:02:01.720 throw line, seven assists plus thirty two in twenty five minutes. 0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:05.640 Mike Scott, let's talk about the man, Mike Scott. The 0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:10.919 hive buzzing twenty one points. Mike Scott matched his field 0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:13.680 goal total in less than one half of action tonight 0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:18.360 than he had the previous eight games. Mike Scott, I mean, 0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:21.600 if you heard his postgame interview with Tom, he knows 0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:24.160 he was off and he couldn't essentially thrown in the 0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:27.840 ocean tonight. It was a wide, vast look at the 0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:31.040 open sea. He was nine for twelve, three to five 0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:35.160 from the perimeter, six rebounds, great stuff from Mike Scott, 0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:39.200 fifteen points from Tobias Harris. Trey Burke came off the 0:02:39.240 --> 0:02:43.720 bench for twenty one points, ten points for Kyle O'Quinn 0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:47.520 to go with eleven rebounds. And now the Sixers they 0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:49.800 had going tonight. They took advantage of a week opponent 0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:52.480 that had lost eleven out of twelve games. But again, 0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:55.320 you know, you have lopsided games in the NBA every night, 0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:58.440 you don't always see something like this. The seventy sixers, 0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:00.720 they were up by fifty three at one point on 0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:03.400 the way to a one forty one ninety four victory. 0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:06.480 They said, a franchise record for a half timely they 0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:10.680 were up forty one seventy seven to thirty six. Ben 0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:13.760 Simmons set the tone the seventy Sixers followed suit one 0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:18.639 forty one to ninety four. The seventy Sixers ree cavoc 0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:21.800 and level the Cleveland Cavaliers. They improved to sixteen and seven, 0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:25.200 a very nice bounce back win. Brian seltered down here 0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:28.680 in South Philly. Tom McGinnis had the call. Tom, it 0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:31.720 was clear early there was forced from the seventy sixers 0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:34.880 and there was no resistance from the Cavaliers, and the 0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:39.200 Sixers just feasted without doubt. And I'm not a big 0:03:39.240 --> 0:03:42.480 fan of the phrase downhill, but that's how Ben Simmons played, 0:03:42.520 --> 0:03:45.520 and they had Once he broke through the initial line 0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:48.920 of coverage, which oftentimes was top of the key or 0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:52.640 even fill line, the pickup point, he just burst right 0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:55.400 through and nobody was back there and he just dominated. 0:03:55.480 --> 0:03:58.120 So he was so good. I mean, you look at 0:03:58.240 --> 0:04:02.080 and then you add like you said Mike Scott. But 0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:04.960 even Netto and Burke, like that trio of guards they 0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:08.400 combined for eight steals, they had like sixty three points 0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:13.000 and they just dominated Cleveland. So but Ben Simmons that 0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:17.360 first half ten of eleven twenty six points, that is 0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:21.200 as good a performance that we've seen, I mean, for 0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:23.440 sure in his career, he had a career height thirty 0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:27.719 four in total. But that's the number one pick in 0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:29.960 the NBA draft, the Rookie of the Year, the All Star. 0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:33.000 That is incredible that that was one of the best 0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:38.080 performances in any half by any player. I gotta go. Ever, 0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:40.839 I mean certainly that I can think of. I'm sure 0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:45.080 there's Curry and Harden and like those. How about this 0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:47.760 for a sixer in recent years. I mean to play 0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:50.080 it safe, but that that was just dominant. He was, 0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:54.479 without question a shining star in pro basketball tonight. I 0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:56.760 mean the offense at one point, and it wasn't after 0:04:56.800 --> 0:04:59.120 too long, is essentially like, let's just throw the ball, 0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:01.360 the ball to Band above the twenty eight foot line, 0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:03.919 let him load up and rip the heart out of Cleveland. 0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:06.920 I mean, that's kind of what it was. By far, 0:05:07.080 --> 0:05:09.680 the best player in the game on the court, he 0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:11.880 knew it, everybody knew it, and he put his inprint. 0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:15.080 What I thought was so neat when he made that three, 0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:18.880 his second ever career three point field goal, and the 0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:22.159 crowd was buzzing, and then shortly they're after the Sixers 0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:24.320 got the ball, and I believe it was Trey Burke 0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:27.600 lobbed it up there and Ben dunked it, and so 0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:30.320 he had five points in a row, and the crowd 0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:34.440 never stopped after the initial the three point field goal, 0:05:34.440 --> 0:05:37.200 which came in the corner by the Cleveland bench, and 0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:39.920 so it was like a forty second standing ovation of 0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:43.280 just electricity. And then you know, when he checked out, 0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:47.520 it was the same thing. So that is an appreciation 0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:51.800 of a dominant athlete playing on a stage. Before tonight 0:05:51.839 --> 0:05:54.680 hear in front of nearly twenty one thousand fans. That 0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:59.000 was just incredible. Seventy Sixers defeat the Cavaliers one forty 0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:02.200 one to ninety four. Ben Simmons with twenty six of 0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:07.560 his career high thirty four points in tonight's first half. Defensively, 0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:10.240 he was a big part in setting the tone as well. 0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:12.920 He blocked I mean, he was only given two block 0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:14.599 shots in the game. I thought he probably had like 0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:18.000 what four? I thought for sure. Yeah, so he was 0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:20.279 all over the place early on in that respect. And 0:06:20.640 --> 0:06:23.000 you know, I don't know if this is over exaggerating 0:06:23.040 --> 0:06:25.800 it or high perbalizing it, but it's like, you know, 0:06:25.880 --> 0:06:27.680 Ben came out after the game. It wasn't like he 0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:30.039 was lighting you know, going at anyone. But he was like, 0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:34.320 that's we can't overlook opponents following the Washington loss. And 0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:36.599 it wasn't just he knocked down a few baskets to 0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:39.640 get the seventy sixers started tonight. He pretty much put 0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:41.320 the team on his back. He said let's go. And 0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:43.440 you know that's a sign of leadership, and that's something 0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:45.320 Ben's been talking about, going back to the way last 0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:48.679 season ended. Absolutely and you know, coach Brown was asked 0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:52.520 and addressed it following the game about more space without 0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:55.200 em beating there and playing at a faster style, a 0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:59.080 faster pace, and that suits Simmons and that was evident tonight. 0:06:59.160 --> 0:07:01.320 I mean, he just was there, was driving lanes and 0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:04.560 he flew around in there, got everybody else involved. And 0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:09.880 again you remember two the Sixers missed their first seven threes. 0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:13.440 So even though they're winning ten, they're nothing fourteen to four. 0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:15.280 Like one of the comments at the time is it 0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:17.720 looks like it could be worse, and you could see 0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:21.440 they were headed toward a lopsided victorim and it was 0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:24.720 already trending that way Cleveland played. They'd only scored eighty 0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:27.640 seven points last night, they'd lost five point five games 0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:30.920 in a row, eleven out of twelve, and then right 0:07:31.000 --> 0:07:33.760 after that oh for seven start led by Furcon and 0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:37.440 Mike Scott, the Sixers made seven of their next eight threes, 0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:41.040 and after leading thirty six to eighteen after one, they 0:07:41.280 --> 0:07:44.200 had a forty one point second quarter and the game 0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:47.520 was just a blowout thereafter. So Ben led the way, 0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:51.080 but everybody else played well. Simmons twenty six minutes, thirty 0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:54.960 four points, And to Coach Brown's point about tomorrow, I mean, 0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:56.680 if you're ever going to play a back to back, 0:07:57.080 --> 0:07:59.720 this is the recipe you'd like for night number one, 0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:03.200 and is twenty two minutes for Tobias, around twenty minutes 0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:06.440 for al who knows what the status of richardson Or 0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:09.800 and Bid will be tomorrow night. But regardless, when you 0:08:09.920 --> 0:08:13.800 play like this and it oozes confidence where you're playing 0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:15.800 two nights in a row through three nights in a row, 0:08:16.360 --> 0:08:18.760 these guys will be wanting to get back out there 0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:21.600 and wanting to right or wrong with how the game 0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:24.320 ended two weeks ago in Toronto and obviously still the 0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:28.080 residual carryover of how that playoff series ended last year 0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:31.840 in the spring in Canada, Mike Scott twenty one points 0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:33.880 off the bench in the seventy six or one one 0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:36.760 ninety four win. And that's the thing Tom Brett Brown 0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:38.880 always likes to say, the regular season the NBA is 0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:40.640 all about how you back it up. And this one 0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:44.800 is on the proverbial doorstep quick against Toronto. Well absolutely, 0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:47.480 and again you know, so you have to kind of 0:08:48.240 --> 0:08:51.880 you know these games and a victory like this is great, 0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:53.440 you let it sink in for a couple of ways 0:08:53.440 --> 0:08:55.840 they should be able to enjoy these are It's not 0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:57.920 easy to do this in terms of, you know, rack 0:08:58.000 --> 0:08:59.959 up one hundred and forty one points, have a fifty 0:09:00.160 --> 0:09:03.439 three point lead. But then you know, when you wake up, 0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:07.960 you know, then you start already you start thinking about 0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:11.400 the Raptors, and you think about the game planning, executing, 0:09:11.480 --> 0:09:15.359 and you know the intensity because Toronto's getting the performance. 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:18.720 Siaka is in the MVP conversation. He's only getting better 0:09:19.600 --> 0:09:22.520 and was a dominant performer last year, particularly in the 0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:25.199 playoffs against the Sixers. And then you look at van 0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:29.200 Fleet and Powell and those guys. They didn't hurt the 0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:31.880 Sixers at all in the playoffs last year, and yet 0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:34.839 right after that series they took off and they've been 0:09:34.880 --> 0:09:37.800 they've been playing the best basketball of their careers. And 0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:42.080 remember too that Kyle nor Ibaka played in that game 0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:44.520 when the Sixers played in Toronto. Kyle was out with 0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:47.320 a thumb and I believe Ibaka had an ankle. And 0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:50.800 I think they're both back. They've dropped two games. The 0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:54.040 two teams are tied now in the standings in terms 0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:57.000 of in the Atlantic Division and in the East. So 0:09:57.240 --> 0:10:00.640 and again, overall Toronto was dominated the Sixers, not just 0:10:00.720 --> 0:10:03.719 winning the playoff series, but in the regular season. It's 0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:06.840 been very hard up there. What is it now, thirteen 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:11.640 straight losses like that in Canada and then overall and 0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:14.120 so you know, if you're gonna get to where you 0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:16.800 want to go to, there's teams you have to overtake, 0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:19.959 and one of them is the world champion to runt directors. 0:10:20.200 --> 0:10:22.920 Alrighty tom again, so we'll speak with you tomorrow six 0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:26.920 o'clock start all right, good night. Thanks seventy Sixers over 0:10:27.000 --> 0:10:31.360 the Cleveland Cavaliers one one ninety four. They set a 0:10:31.400 --> 0:10:34.320 franchise record, leading by forty one points at the half. 0:10:34.720 --> 0:10:37.160 Ben Simmons was a huge part of it, and we'll 0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:41.520 hear some of those highlights seventy Sixers Cleveland Cavaliers, the 0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:44.320 way both teams have been playing as of late. If 0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:48.040 you're the type of person who wanted to forecast and prognosticate, 0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:51.440 you probably listen for just being honest, would have pointed 0:10:51.480 --> 0:10:54.360 in the seventy Sixers direction. But could you have possibly 0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:58.640 envisioned this what we saw in fold tonight down here 0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:01.640 at the center. N Simmons was not pleased with the 0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:05.079 way the seventy Sixers himself included played in the Lost 0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:08.959 Thursday at Washington, Well, very quickly, the All Star went 0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:12.559 about writing some of the wrong and now they lose love. 0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:15.400 And he shoots at three long, no good. Thompson keeps 0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:17.400 till alive. Yet he austen there and here's a runout 0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:20.640 for Simmons. He'll get a jab. So the ball pop 0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:23.520 free at mid court with cork Mas and Simmons and 0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:26.559 Burkon threw it ahead to Ben and Simmons rocks the 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:30.400 rim with a powerful left hand Slayer Simmons Donna drive 0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:33.040 Simmons down the lane, left hand laff up and good 0:11:33.240 --> 0:11:38.600 time out. Cavaliers eight seven. Ben Simmons driving and scoring 0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:40.600 looks like he's gonna pick up the slack with no 0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:44.200 one beat. He's got six. He's three for three and 0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:47.320 that was merely the beginning. Ben Simmons scoring eight of 0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:51.120 the seventy sixers first ten points in tonight's game. Now 0:11:51.120 --> 0:11:53.440 we're gonna do a lot of Ben Simmons highlights, thrust 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:54.920 of the way, with the exception of this one, because 0:11:54.920 --> 0:11:57.120 we've got to give a little love to our man 0:11:57.160 --> 0:12:00.079 who is the curator of the hive. Pitched back the 0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:02.320 left side Scott and he shoots for three. And it's 0:12:02.360 --> 0:12:07.160 in Mike Scott where the quick catch the release laser, 0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:10.320 put yours on the release and Netta with a good feed. 0:12:10.400 --> 0:12:13.040 Now Mike five in a row. He's four of six. 0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:16.920 Sixers lead by a score of thirty one thirteen. Seventy 0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:19.320 Sixers were in control. They were up thirty six to 0:12:19.440 --> 0:12:22.440 eighteen after a quarter of play. In this second quarter, 0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:25.319 Ben Simmons, after a bit of a breather he scored 0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:28.520 fourteen points in the first quarter, came back and was 0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:31.640 a force outside left Harris. They go to Simmons against 0:12:31.679 --> 0:12:34.959 Della Modoba, a matchup of the big men from down 0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:39.400 Under and Ben Junes of Fadeaway and in Ben Simmons 0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:43.040 from the left wing, even though he towers over Della Modoba, 0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:46.439 he got it. He's seven of eight Simmons sixteen points, 0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:49.680 and the seventy Sixers had fifty one points before the 0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:53.680 Cavaliers had twenty five. Ben Simmons, what was probably the 0:12:53.720 --> 0:12:58.240 pinnacle and most entertaining exciting point of his game tonight, 0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:01.000 had this sequence as the first half was winding down 0:13:01.040 --> 0:13:03.640 under four minutes to go. Trey Burke cross courts, skipping 0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:06.520 all upside Ben three ball by Ben Simmons is good, 0:13:07.080 --> 0:13:10.920 knocking it down wide open, and Simmons has happened quite 0:13:10.920 --> 0:13:14.640 a night. Nine of ten, twenty one point. Here's another 0:13:14.679 --> 0:13:18.680 steal by the Sixers. Harris to Burke, Lopa Simmons, henty Jamnet. 0:13:18.720 --> 0:13:22.440 Ben Simmons is going to town con to Cleveland Cavaliers. 0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:28.160 He's got twenty three points, reminding the Cavaliers of Labron 0:13:28.360 --> 0:13:33.199 James absolutely and the seventy Sixers would get three more 0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:35.440 from Simmons for the first half was done. The Sixers 0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:39.880 led seventy seven thirty six at the break. It was 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:43.920 the largest lead forty one points in franchise history, second 0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:47.400 largest lead in the entire NBA over the last two seasons, 0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:50.760 seventy seven points scored by the seventy sixers, a record 0:13:50.840 --> 0:13:53.400 here at the Center scored by any team in any 0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:56.840 half since the building opened back in nineteen ninety six. 0:13:57.280 --> 0:14:00.839 Nineteen ninety seven, Ben Simmons. This his final basket of 0:14:00.960 --> 0:14:03.839 that first hand and now with eight seconds to go, 0:14:04.000 --> 0:14:06.920 Simmons with it against Tristan Thompson on a drive into 0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:10.520 the lank feet away by Ben. It's good Ben Simmons. 0:14:10.520 --> 0:14:15.719 Eleven baskets, sixers again up seventy seven, thirty six at intermission. 0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:19.120 Ben Simmons a career at night and its handles top 0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:21.680 of the key, wide open eighteen putter back, ribbon off, 0:14:21.760 --> 0:14:24.360 long rebound Tray Burke lid the Simmons and a layoup 0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:27.400 Trey Burke with the ball at the fifteen foot bart 0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:30.320 grows it right to the rim and Simmons is gonna 0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:35.160 finish with thirty four points, backing his career high. It 0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:38.440 was a career high for Ben Simmons. He went twelve 0:14:38.440 --> 0:14:41.160 to fourteen, one for one from three nine to twelve 0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:45.040 from the line, three rebounds, seven assists, two steals, two blocks, 0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:47.520 which I think shortened him by at least two swats. 0:14:48.360 --> 0:14:50.440 He was just all over the court in so many ways. 0:14:50.480 --> 0:14:54.720 He only played twenty five minutes thirty nine seconds.

And 0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:06.880 just to wrap up a storyline from the start of 0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:09.240 the game, when Joel bead is not out there, the 0:16:09.280 --> 0:16:12.400 Sixers want to play faster with Al Horford thirty fast 0:16:12.400 --> 0:16:15.960 breakpoints pretty telling of the style of offense Ben Simmons 0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:19.520 was able to bring to the seventy Sixers tonight.
