Speaker 1: The fanatic.
Speaker 3: Sixers with home games Monday, Wednesday, and Friday this week
Speaker 3: after a six game road trip in totality that began
Speaker 3: on the NBA on Christmas Day with the big win
Speaker 3: over Boston and then they went to Utah and out
Speaker 3: West and returned to play Phoenix. But the Suns with
Speaker 3: a ten point win in Philadelphia tonight, one oh nine
Speaker 3: ninety nine. This is our Parks Casino postgame show on
Speaker 3: Matt Murphy. I'll be rejoined in a moment by Tom McGinnis.
Speaker 3: We will also hope to hear Nick Nurse's postgame media availability.
Speaker 3: After this loss to Phoenix, who snaps a four game
Speaker 3: losing streak, they made a big lineup move, couple changes
Speaker 3: to the starting lineup, but bringing Bradley Beal off the
Speaker 3: bench certainly paid off a team high twenty five points
Speaker 3: twenty in a second half that they outscored the Sixers
Speaker 3: sixty seven to fifty three in for the one zho
Speaker 3: nine ninety nine rears old and behind Bal, the Suns
Speaker 3: bench outscored the Sixers bench as their Sixers roster was
Speaker 3: shorthanded tonight. To say the least, headlined by no Joel Embiid.
Speaker 3: The bench scoring was fifty four to seven Suns. Five
Speaker 3: players out for the Sixers, including Embiid. Andre Drummond was
Speaker 3: a late scratch as well. So Yabusele had this start
Speaker 3: as the small ball center. It was their twenty first
Speaker 3: different starting lineup of the season, which does lead the NBA.
Speaker 3: So all the starters played heavy minutes. The only bench
Speaker 3: scorers were a dem Bona with four and Justin Edwards
Speaker 3: with three. So Beal shoots ten for fifteen, the Sun
Speaker 3: shoot fifty one percent. Durant had a good game twenty
Speaker 3: three points on nine of fourteen, and the Sixers only
Speaker 3: shot thirty nine percent in this game. They also missed
Speaker 3: ten free throws sixteen of twenty six and they lose
Speaker 3: the game by ten. They will have the two teams
Speaker 3: with the worst records in the league coming in next
Speaker 3: We will get there later in our post game show.
Speaker 3: It'll be the Wizards, the worst in the East, on
Speaker 3: Wednesday night, and then the New Orleans Pelicans, who have
Speaker 3: been battling injuries all season, notably Zion Williamson's not playing
Speaker 3: right now. They'll be here on Friday night. But Tom
Speaker 3: mcguinnis the first home game back in two weeks, and
Speaker 3: it's Phoenix with a one ZHO nine ninety nine win.
Speaker 3: Kelly Oubre Junior had a great game and his return
Speaker 3: to the Sixers lineup twenty six points and eleven rebounds.
Speaker 3: But let's let's start with Phoenix quickly. I mean the
Speaker 3: move to put Beale on the bench, I mean it
Speaker 3: looks like a good one so far because they came
Speaker 3: in kind of the reports were saying that there was
Speaker 3: some uncertainty around their group, and he delivered in a
Speaker 3: big way and that role really embraced it as a pro.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a really good player, and even Nurkic I
Speaker 1: thought made an impact. He was the other player that
Speaker 1: was shall we say, sent to the bench. And again
Speaker 1: he'd been out for three games, so that's not a
Speaker 1: complete shocker, but you know, coach Budden needed to do something.
Speaker 1: They lost four games in a row. They considered it
Speaker 1: wasn't just a one time thing. And Beal came in.
Speaker 1: You figured he was going to be you know, not
Speaker 1: what they have four points in the last game, but
Speaker 1: he was ten of fifteen. It was Booker, you know,
Speaker 1: that struggled. Booker was just three of sixteen, three of
Speaker 1: eighteen in the first match, but he helped in other
Speaker 1: ways with tennis sists, and they just Durant came in
Speaker 1: with a knockout punch down the stretch. You know. It
Speaker 1: is a little bit about Phoenix, no doubt, but it's
Speaker 1: the Sixers just didn't again, they did not have the
Speaker 1: energy or the bodies, and it showed right they were
Speaker 1: under man Kelly Oubre who didn't play over the last week.
Speaker 1: I mean the last time he played was last Monday,
Speaker 1: and he really came out with a lot of fight.
Speaker 1: He ended up with thirteen eight in the first, thirteen
Speaker 1: in the third, twenty five total. But the Sixers, you know,
Speaker 1: when they had that early twelve point lead, you felt
Speaker 1: like it could have been a little bit more. Not
Speaker 1: that they would have knocked him out at the beginning
Speaker 1: of the game, but they could have had a little
Speaker 1: bit better separation. But they just couldn't maintain with the
Speaker 1: shooting consistency. They ended up shooting thirty nine percent and
Speaker 1: it dissipated went down as the game went along.
Speaker 3: Right, and the Suns did come out flat. I kind
Speaker 3: of made it seem like it was an instant success thing.
Speaker 3: With the lineup changes, but it was seventeen to five
Speaker 3: the start for the Sixers right in this game, the
Speaker 3: final score ends up being the Suns one oh nine
Speaker 3: the Sixers ninety nine. Matt Murphy and Tom McGuinness here
Speaker 3: on our Parks Casino postgame show, and Embiid was scratched.
Speaker 3: He was questionable. The listing has been left foot sprain
Speaker 3: and the right sinus fracture. They also they add in
Speaker 3: on the injury reports. The official reports mask that that
Speaker 3: he has continued to wear the mask when he's playing.
Speaker 3: Kyle Lowry was unavailable, among many others. Andre Drummond though
Speaker 3: might might have been the latest scratch of them all.
Speaker 3: So they didn't have the morning shoot round, They had
Speaker 3: the pregame walk through a couple of hours hours before,
Speaker 3: and then no Drummond either, which Yabusel had a great
Speaker 3: first half. But there's been a couple of games like
Speaker 3: this where there's no true center, and and this was
Speaker 3: another one tonight. How do you think that impacted things?
Speaker 1: Well, like Mason Plumbley started its center for them, so
Speaker 1: like he he can certainly guard. He's a great screen setter,
Speaker 1: but you know it's not like you need Wenby to
Speaker 1: guard him, right, I mean he's not he's not going
Speaker 1: to really challenge you, but just missing one of your
Speaker 1: one of your better players at Andre Drummond. And for
Speaker 1: drum like you say, he went through the walkthrough, but
Speaker 1: when you have a toe injury like that, I don't
Speaker 1: know what happened, but you know, like he might have
Speaker 1: tweaked it. But the slightest thing can set you back,
Speaker 1: like that's you know, that's everything when you take, when
Speaker 1: you stop and sprint that that can be really problematic.
Speaker 1: So I can imagine where you know, they're gonna be
Speaker 1: a little cautious with that if he has any discomfort.
Speaker 1: But that, yeah, that was a shock. I think it
Speaker 1: sounds like coach nurses addressing the media.
Speaker 5: A ton and then you know, then they you know,
Speaker 5: he just got going with some sideline throw ahead step
Speaker 5: up action. He was getting getting around the bend a
Speaker 5: little too fast on us. But I think we lost
Speaker 5: a little a little bit of our our spark and
Speaker 5: I you know, just based on on how poorly we
Speaker 5: were shooting the ball, because it was like we were
Speaker 5: getting we were getting, but I thought were really really
Speaker 5: good shots. You know, for most of that game, I
Speaker 5: think our energy and everything was great to start. Our
Speaker 5: defense everything was really good, but the offense just wasn't
Speaker 5: wasn't well, the shooting wasn't probably where it needed to
Speaker 5: be compared to how we were playing, what we were generating,
Speaker 5: and what we were doing defensively, and it ended up
Speaker 5: just kind of catching up to us. I think as
Speaker 5: far as the fact thing our spirit and our energy.
Speaker 1: Oh, the decentelget and the paint early on, then a
Speaker 1: lot of the game was tim settling from testing long
Speaker 1: tos or threes as what you as offensive process.
Speaker 5: Yeah, listen, I think I think he's in there with
Speaker 5: a lot of the guys tonight as far as is
Speaker 5: generating you know, good shots and shots that we want
Speaker 5: them to take, and for whatever reason, you know, they
Speaker 5: just they just weren't going in tonight. So I think
Speaker 5: I think you can throw the whole team in thirty
Speaker 5: eight percent from the field, isn't gonna isn't gonna win
Speaker 5: you many games, and then throw in another ten miss
Speaker 5: free throws and you're in trouble. Anytime you miss ten,
Speaker 5: usually are on the wrong side of the score.
Speaker 1: Usually, like conventional wisdom, NBA Wise says the first home
Speaker 1: game after.
Speaker 3: A long road trip is always really tough.
Speaker 6: Yep.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I mean we talked before the game about
Speaker 3: some of the stuff we try to do different bat
Speaker 3: that with was tired legs or anything.
Speaker 5: Did you see any of them? Yeah, I mean I
Speaker 5: think I think that's always it is always tough, you know,
Speaker 5: and you you like, I try not to talk about it.
Speaker 5: I just tried to bring a ton of energy. And
Speaker 5: I thought I thought we were we were super. I
Speaker 5: thought we were we were awesome start, you know, start
Speaker 5: the game, even even to start the second half. I
Speaker 5: mean they took the first time out out of the half.
Speaker 5: But again I think I think just a little bit
Speaker 5: of combination, that little bit of combination of of of
Speaker 5: just you know, when the ball you know, continually you're
Speaker 5: shooting wide open shots and continually doesn't go in it,
Speaker 5: it seems to, you know, affect other parts of the game.
Speaker 6: Yeah. Nick, to the point about Paul's off as a process,
Speaker 6: he's way below his career numbers shooting wise. Obviously, what
Speaker 6: do you think is the the main cause of that? Right,
Speaker 6: because we're past the point of you know, small sample
Speaker 6: or whatever, where he's played over a quarter of seasons
Speaker 6: worth of games, and we really haven't had the Paul
Speaker 6: Georgier expecting.
Speaker 5: Yeah, just just from a shooting standpoint again, and I
Speaker 5: think that you know, they weren't all like super open tonight,
Speaker 5: but a lot of them were and a lot of
Speaker 5: them were ones that, like you said, career wise, he's
Speaker 5: gonna take normally take again, you know, say that his
Speaker 5: presence out there is really good, his defense is really good,
Speaker 5: his rebounding is really good. You know, there's a lot
Speaker 5: of things to like. And I just think the shooting,
Speaker 5: the shooting will get to his career numbers, you know,
Speaker 5: as we go here, you know, maybe you know, again,
Speaker 5: we try to do some different things. We posted him
Speaker 5: a couple of times tonight, We ran some pin downs
Speaker 5: for him a couple of times tonight, you know, a
Speaker 5: few other things. You know, we are doing a variety
Speaker 5: of things. And again, once he got there, eighteen shots,
Speaker 5: you know, I probably like thirteen or fourteen of them,
Speaker 5: you know, kind kind of what it's been twelve to
Speaker 5: fifteen and shots that I probably wouldn't trade in.
Speaker 4: You like, what do you kind of say to him? Like,
Speaker 4: I guess that what kind of do maybe.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it talk to him a little bit
Speaker 5: just to always ask, you know, what can what can
Speaker 5: we do to help you? You know, what can we
Speaker 5: do to to get you going? Do you think the
Speaker 5: looks are good enough? Is there any other actions we
Speaker 5: can we can try to do?
Speaker 6: You know?
Speaker 5: And we've had some of those conversations as well, and
Speaker 5: you know, he just kind of says, no, we're all right,
Speaker 5: but I'm gonna look at these tonight for sure and
Speaker 5: sit down with them tomorrow and see what we can
Speaker 5: figure out. All right, Thanks everybody?
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 3: Coach Nick Nurse here on the seventy six Ers post
Speaker 3: game show presented by Parks Casino. It's the Phoenix Suns
Speaker 3: one oh nine, the Sixers ninety nine in Philadelphia and
Speaker 3: Tom that the question there towards the end from Gina
Speaker 3: Mizela that the Inquirer about the road the first home
Speaker 3: game back from a long road trip being tough. Why
Speaker 3: is that? Why have you noticed that over the years?
Speaker 1: Well, I just said that, Well, again, your sleep has
Speaker 1: been totally you know, there's that jetlag thing is real
Speaker 1: and when you go back and Coach Nurse mentioned this
Speaker 1: pregame but twice on the trip getting into Portland and
Speaker 1: one of the other stops all. I can't remember which
Speaker 1: it wasn't the Warriors, because the Warriors, they were in
Speaker 1: San Francisco by midnight. But twice the six Ers, you know,
Speaker 1: went to bed at three three thirty Pacific time. That's
Speaker 1: six o'clock. You're still your body clock is still on
Speaker 1: East Coast time. Well into that trip. It isn't until
Speaker 1: the very end where you kind of adjust to West
Speaker 1: Coast time and then guess what, then you're back here.
Speaker 1: So I think that's it, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: Like the sleep deprivation is real. It's totally you know,
Speaker 1: it's messing. So it's it's just difficult, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. Like and you can like that's why I
Speaker 1: like rest and hydration. There's such an emphasis on that
Speaker 1: in pro sports period. It's a real thing. And then
Speaker 1: they come home and your family's waiting for you. These
Speaker 1: guys got lives outside basketball, and you know it was
Speaker 1: evident like in the play like it, like I said
Speaker 1: it kind of the Sixers energy. Wane coach was talking
Speaker 1: about that. Almost everything we talked about prior with miss
Speaker 1: Mozelle spoke of. We just I just said, yeah, what
Speaker 1: coach said about missing shots early? They played really well.
Speaker 1: But it's a lot of factors. Yeah, went it went
Speaker 1: down as it went. The fact, as you mentioned, they
Speaker 1: were missing a number of players.
Speaker 3: Five players out and then six if you count two
Speaker 3: way player Pete Nance. But that meant that the whole
Speaker 3: starting lineup played more than thirty six minutes max. He
Speaker 3: played almost forty four right.
Speaker 1: In this game. Even tyrese like some of those shots,
Speaker 1: and he made some shots late. He did have sixteen
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, right, that's uh, And that's because
Speaker 1: he's he's in fantastic shape and he's not He's just
Speaker 1: going to keep coming at it. But yeah, like you know,
Speaker 1: when you're shooting, you know, like anybody that's played, like
Speaker 1: you realize your legs are such a huge part of it.
Speaker 1: It's almost like a starting pitcher if you don't have
Speaker 1: your legs. That's why baseball pitchers run. They run like
Speaker 1: they're in their off days. They they go distance. That's
Speaker 1: why you need your legs. And you know, that's the
Speaker 1: slightest when you're when you're a little weary, oftentimes that's
Speaker 1: part of it, and you're missing shots by just a
Speaker 1: little bit. But it adds up.
Speaker 3: So the next two opponents just Washington six and twenty
Speaker 3: seven New Orleans on Friday is seven of twenty nine.
Speaker 3: They just played each other twice, so that that has
Speaker 3: to help the scouting process this week for the Sixers.
Speaker 3: Their next two opponents New Orleans won both of those games,
Speaker 3: but it will be Washington first.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they and the Whist they play tomorrow against Houston.
Speaker 1: They're you know, a prohibitive underdog in that game, and
Speaker 1: you got, yeah, you gotta hope Joelle is able to go.
Speaker 1: And you know, for the Sixers, it's it's it's no
Speaker 1: doubt about you know, like tonight you felt like this
Speaker 1: coming in was a winnable game. Phoenix is struggling, but
Speaker 1: like overall for the Sixers to have the health, to
Speaker 1: have the continuity and to get going here, like you've
Speaker 1: got a huge month of home games, a lot and
Speaker 1: you want to get into a groove. So okay, we're
Speaker 1: playing home games, but we're winning. Let's go oh. I
Speaker 1: know Coach Nurse has talked about that over the years,
Speaker 1: like when you're rolling, you want to play and most
Speaker 1: definitely you want to play here and use this home
Speaker 1: court advantage, you know, to your best, you know, to
Speaker 1: your best advantage. So yeah, this this is a tough one.
Speaker 1: But you know, here you go, like you say, you
Speaker 1: got two games coming in, you got an Orlando team
Speaker 1: on the road, you've played well, you've beaten them.
Speaker 3: After that, a bunch of big name opponents too. The
Speaker 3: back half of January is a very tough schedule, some
Speaker 3: of them at home, but got to take care of
Speaker 3: business the rest of this wait.
Speaker 1: The Knicks, the Calves, the Wars, thunder Right.
Speaker 3: Gets a couple of times. So yeah, it's a tough
Speaker 3: back half of January. But we'll be back on Wednesday.
Speaker 3: But thank you Tom, I'll be back with more on
Speaker 3: our post game here in the next second. Tom mcguinnis,
Speaker 3: I'm getting comfortable up here postgame. Thanks to Tom for
Speaker 3: joining me here on the Parks Casino postgame show after
Speaker 3: the one oh nine ninety nine loss for the Sixers
Speaker 3: to the Suns. The records are now Philadelphia fourteen and twenty,
Speaker 3: Phoenix sixteen and eighteen. We will have our game high
Speaker 3: leaders on the box score. We will have our stat
Speaker 3: of the game, the audio highlights still to come, so

Speaker 3: is of course presented by Parks Casino.
Speaker 4: Thank you were listening to the Sixers Radio Network presented
Speaker 4: by Jackpot City Casino.
Speaker 3: Sixers off a six game road trip in which they
Speaker 3: went four and two that ended in Brooklyn on Saturday
Speaker 3: with a near thirty point win their home for three
Speaker 3: straight games this week, five of their next six, but
Speaker 3: they were without Joel Embiid tonight against the Phoenix Suns
Speaker 3: in their first home game back. It was exactly two
Speaker 3: weeks to the date since they beat the San Antonio
Speaker 3: Spurs here on December twenty third, so Embiid joined a
Speaker 3: long list of inactives five regular players for the Sixers
Speaker 3: out tonight against Phoenix. Matt Murphy here with our Parks
Speaker 3: Casino postgame show, and in this segment, we're going to
Speaker 3: jump right into our audio highlights of how this game
Speaker 3: went down from start to finish. Here is how it sounded,
Speaker 3: as called by Tom McGinnis. The seventy six Ers and
Speaker 3: the Suns in Philadelphia. The Sixers in the white Spectrum
Speaker 3: uniforms the City Edition uniforms presented by Crypto dot Com
Speaker 3: on a spirit of seventy six night presented by Crypto
Speaker 3: dot Com, the Suns were in purple. The inactive list
Speaker 3: no longer included Kelly Oubre Junior, who rejoined the lineup,
Speaker 3: but among joining embiid it was Joel unbeat out with
Speaker 3: a left foot sprain. He's also listed with the right
Speaker 3: sinus fracture from the Indiana game, but Kyle Lowry out
Speaker 3: tonight hip injury. Andre Drummond was a last minute scratch
Speaker 3: for the toe sprain that he's been in and out
Speaker 3: of the lineup seemingly every other game at this point,
Speaker 3: as well as Jared McCain and kJ Martin who remain out.
Speaker 3: So the Sixers started their twenty first different starting lineup,
Speaker 3: the most in the NBA this year, Maxie Ubra, Paul George,
Speaker 3: Caleb Martin, and Gershan Yabucele. Philadelphia Eagles rookie Cooper dejen
Speaker 3: was the bell ringer and the Sixers going up against
Speaker 3: the Suns team that bench Bradley Beal in his fifty
Speaker 3: million dollar contract. They started the game ten to three
Speaker 3: to force a timeout, and later in the first they
Speaker 3: would stretch it to their largest lead, with Tyrese Maxi
Speaker 3: teeing up another early three for an even bigger first
Speaker 3: quarter lead.
Speaker 1: Fourteen to five, sixers, Martin to Maxi. Maxie's got a three.
Speaker 1: He's got one on one coverage with Jones, he said.
Speaker 1: Jabu packing rises deep three up and good. What a
Speaker 1: shot by Maxi. Prinks Rain with a deep three at
Speaker 1: Maxi like Oubre was six.
Speaker 3: Seventeen to five the game after Durant made the first
Speaker 3: basket of the game of three seventeen to two sixers
Speaker 3: run Tyrese Maxi second three of the game. He would
Speaker 3: end the game with six of his fourteen made from
Speaker 3: beyond the arc, so to go up seventeen to five,
Speaker 3: and then first quarter leading twenty one to thirteen. Paul
Speaker 3: George defense leads the offense the steal and.
Speaker 1: The slam boris covered well. Nurkicchigainst A den Bona back
Speaker 1: out top George with a steal, breakaway peg doblay oh
Speaker 1: baby right hand jam right down Broad Street, the pick,
Speaker 1: the runout and the jam. Paul George with his second
Speaker 1: field goal. Sons with the turn sixes by ten.
Speaker 3: Paul George thirteen points, nine rebounds, five assists, and two steals,
Speaker 3: almost thirty eight minutes of work five for eighteen from
Speaker 3: the field, shooting the ball three for nine from three.
Speaker 3: That in a twenty three to thirteen game that they
Speaker 3: were leading. It was twenty three sixteen after the first
Speaker 3: quarter in favor of the sixth second quarter. Kevin Durant
Speaker 3: led the Sons in the first half with with seven points,
Speaker 3: but it was Gershon Yabusele, who started at the five
Speaker 3: for the Sixers with who led all scorers in the
Speaker 3: first half with twelve points, including three threes.
Speaker 1: Georgia Yabaseile Yabasley with another try for three, and it's
Speaker 1: in Gershaan Yaba Sile has attempted six threes. Yabu scores again.
Speaker 1: He's got three may threes. That's what's important. Five points,
Speaker 1: six is leep.
Speaker 3: All of those were in the first half. It was
Speaker 3: forty one thirty six Sixers. He had twelve of his
Speaker 3: fourteen points in the game in the first two quarters.
Speaker 3: He was three for eight all told from three in
Speaker 3: thirty six minutes. He did have a double double with
Speaker 3: ten rebounds to go with the fourteen points. And how
Speaker 3: did it get close after the double digit six Ers lead, Well,
Speaker 3: there was a stretch in the second quarter where the
Speaker 3: Sixers missed seventeen of twenty field goals. Neither team shot
Speaker 3: it well thirty eight percent per side in the in
Speaker 3: the first half. Ubre almost had a first half double
Speaker 3: double ten and eight. Well here for him in the
Speaker 3: third quarter. Here Booker shot one of ten in the
Speaker 3: first half, three of sixteen in the game. He did
Speaker 3: have a double double with ten points and ten assists
Speaker 3: for Phoenix, so they closed the gap. It was fifty
Speaker 3: six fifty two six ers at halftime behind Yabuseles twelve
Speaker 3: points and then into the third quarter. You heard Nick
Speaker 3: Nurse talk about the start to the third forcing the
Speaker 3: first time out. But Bradley Beal did the majority of
Speaker 3: his damage off the bench in this game in the
Speaker 3: second half, and here in the third going for double
Speaker 3: figures scoring and Phoenix's largest lead at the time.
Speaker 1: Here's Beale in the corner for three and good he
Speaker 1: ran to with a spot. He's much too good. Field
Speaker 1: knocks down a three credit Booker with the dish. Booker's
Speaker 1: got seven assists, and now the Suns are up by.
Speaker 3: Eight sixty two to fifty four. They would go up
Speaker 3: by twelve. Beal had twenty of his game, his team
Speaker 3: high twenty five in the second half. Twenty five points
Speaker 3: on ten of fifteen, shooting three for six from three
Speaker 3: in less than thirty minutes as a reserve for this
Speaker 3: Phoenix Suns team, so sixty two fifty four after that
Speaker 3: three he averages just under eighteen points per game. But
Speaker 3: he's now coming off the bench to shake things up
Speaker 3: for Mike Budenholzer's Phoenix Sons. And then a sequence that
Speaker 3: involved him to end the third quarter. First Kelly Ubray
Speaker 3: picked up a double double endcounting he went right at
Speaker 3: Nurkic and got an and one, one of a couple
Speaker 3: end ones for him in the game. Then a Caleb
Speaker 3: Martin long two for the Sixers, all in a single
Speaker 3: digit game here at the end of the third with
Speaker 3: the Sixers trailing by a couple points. But then it
Speaker 3: was Bil and Ubra exchanging the final buckets of the quarter.
Speaker 3: So Bradley Beal a quick layup racing down the court,
Speaker 3: but Ubre had the final answer from three.
Speaker 1: Beil on a catch on a trive in On Edwards
Speaker 1: all the way down the court and in that took
Speaker 1: three seconds. Six is with Maxi three seconds. The third
Speaker 1: Maxi double covered toy Ubra. Will he get it off
Speaker 1: into the air for three. He's God, hey man it
Speaker 1: pree at the third quarter buzzer Tella Ubra put a
Speaker 1: fantastic third quarter at a to five point game.
Speaker 3: Ubra had thirteen of his twenty six points in the
Speaker 3: third quarter. He shot nine for eighteen from the field
Speaker 3: double double. He would tack on three more rebounds in
Speaker 3: the second half, so twenty six points eleven rebounds for
Speaker 3: Ubre in his first game after missing the last three
Speaker 3: games of the road trip with a hand injury. The
Speaker 3: five point margin was Phoenix seventy eight Philadelphia seventy three.
Speaker 3: Heading to the fourth quarter and a quarter in which
Speaker 3: the Sixers got back to back Maxi threes trying to
Speaker 3: stay in it. They got an early three from Maxi
Speaker 3: to cut it to two, but then the Suns were
Speaker 3: piling on baskets at Bradley beal Banks shot put them
Speaker 3: up twelve. But Maxi, he did have threes on consecutive
Speaker 3: possessions after that, and as he tried to help the
Speaker 3: Sixers stay in it. And what was the sixteen point
Speaker 3: fourth quarter for Tyrese Maxi.
