Speaker 1: You're listening to rewind. They'll listen back on press conferences,
Speaker 1: highlights and analysis from the seventy sixers previous game. We
Speaker 1: want to be a good road team, the seventy Sixers
Speaker 1: said just before leaving the Delaware Valley yesterday and heading
Speaker 1: out to Motown. Well tonight's performance a pretty darn good
Speaker 1: place to start, missing Joel Embid. The seventy Sixers go
Speaker 1: on a comeback run to win at Little Caesar's Arena
Speaker 1: one seventeen to one eleven. How you doing. I'm Brian
Speaker 1: Seltzer will reconnect with Tom McGinnis in just a few
Speaker 1: moments play back some of his highlight calls recap all
Speaker 1: the key nuggets and notes surrounding the sixers second win
Speaker 1: of the season, as the team is off to a
Speaker 1: two and oh start for the first time since Brett
Speaker 1: Brown's first season in twenty thirteen. Fourteen. Sixers got off
Speaker 1: to a great start in this game. They led twelve
Speaker 1: to two, and at that point you're thinking, you know,
Speaker 1: granted it's only the second game of the season and
Speaker 1: about five minutes in, but like this team is playing
Speaker 1: exactly like the seventy Sixers brain trust between Elton brand
Speaker 1: and Brett Brown said they would smash mouth offense, get
Speaker 1: in the paint and then suffocate you with some bullyball
Speaker 1: airtight defense. Sixers came out of the gates firing Maatist
Speaker 1: Thible in his first start was creating some havoc defensively
Speaker 1: along with Josh Richardson. But then the Detroit Pistons turned
Speaker 1: things over to their bench, led by Derrick Rose, who
Speaker 1: would go on to score a total of thirty one
Speaker 1: points in tonight's game, and they got right back in
Speaker 1: at Detroit scored twenty three bench points in the first quarter.
Speaker 1: They led by one after twelve minutes, They're up by
Speaker 1: three at halftime. They increased the lead to thirteen points
Speaker 1: about four to five minutes into the third quarter. Then
Speaker 1: mister Newley resigned. Tobias Harris stepped up. He went for
Speaker 1: thirteen of his twenty nine and the third quarter put
Speaker 1: his ability to score at all three levels on full
Speaker 1: display in that period, and then in the fourth quarter
Speaker 1: he had Al Horford. People will note the scoring numbers
Speaker 1: for him. He scored twelve of his bigger parton fifteen
Speaker 1: of his twenty three in the fourth quarter. But then
Speaker 1: there was also Ben Simmons. Simmons had a great fourth quarter.
Speaker 1: He was the straw that helps stir the seventy sixers drink.
Speaker 1: He had a huge, full court length drive off a
Speaker 1: defensive rebound to score pivotal basket to give the seventy
Speaker 1: Sixers some additional insurance and breathing room. Simmons with thirteen points,
Speaker 1: ten assists, seven steals. That is a career high to
Speaker 1: go with four rebounds in tonight's game. He came up
Speaker 1: big down the stretch and then throughout the evening. As
Speaker 1: you might have just heard Brett Brown talk about, Sixers
Speaker 1: bench was really really solid in particular Mike Scott five
Speaker 1: three pointers for seventeen points in the game, Shake Milton
Speaker 1: ten points in twelve minutes when he was on the floor.
Speaker 1: Some decent things happened. He was plus nine for the Sixers,
Speaker 1: a pretty good mark for him. And yeah, there were
Speaker 1: just some nice moments from members of the bench, even
Speaker 1: how will Nato in six minutes he had a couple
Speaker 1: of nifty scores and held the fourth down in the
Speaker 1: six minutes he logged as a reserve and then Kyle
Speaker 1: O'Quinn in relief of Al Horford tonight with six rebounds.
Speaker 1: He also had a couple block shots for the seventy
Speaker 1: sixers as they win tonight one seventeen one eleven to
Speaker 1: improve to two and ozero, and they were able to
Speaker 1: win tonight's game without Joel Embiid. Tom McGuinness called this
Speaker 1: one tonight from Little Caesar's Arena. Can even Tom, Your
Speaker 1: big takeaways from this one were, oh man, that is
Speaker 1: a physical game. We sit down by the court in
Speaker 1: this arena, and I don't know if it's because when
Speaker 1: you sit down here you just see things and you
Speaker 1: almost feel the game a little bit more. But it
Speaker 1: was really, I mean, rugged, physical game. And the Sixers
Speaker 1: responded and I'll tell you it's NBA competition and it
Speaker 1: is hard fought. And that's how the Sixers responded. They
Speaker 1: came out here and really, you know, after Detroit, after
Speaker 1: succombing the league, and Detroit took the lead in the
Speaker 1: second quarter, and then Detroit with a thirteen to three run,
Speaker 1: You're like, oh man, this is even going to be
Speaker 1: more difficult, and the Sixers rallied right back. So Harris
Speaker 1: was phenomenal in that third. Al Horford, as Brett Brown said,
Speaker 1: thank god, he's on our team, because that's what you've
Speaker 1: seen from him over the years, and now he's doing
Speaker 1: it for the Sixers. It's still it's an amazing thing.
Speaker 1: It's the first time we've really seen the impact that
Speaker 1: he can make in a game, and he was phenomenal
Speaker 1: and then like you were just outlining, Brian, there were
Speaker 1: so many performances. How about Shake. I think Shake Milton's
Speaker 1: going to be a factor for the Sixers, not unlike
Speaker 1: and I'm not comparing the players, but you know, like
Speaker 1: Quinn Cook for the Warriors stepped in and made an impact.
Speaker 1: He had been in the G League and he stepped
Speaker 1: in with Golden State and he was a helping, contributed player.
Speaker 1: I think Shake is gonna give the Sixers some scoring,
Speaker 1: some much needed outside punch, and you know Furkon's gonna
Speaker 1: help out in that way too. But all in all,
Speaker 1: a great road victory. They're so hard to get away
Speaker 1: from home. Been a tremendous come from behind victory here
Speaker 1: after a great start by this six Ers. But a
Speaker 1: great record now, I mean a great win with a
Speaker 1: two and o record. You know, time It's interesting with
Speaker 1: Shake because it's not like he played a ton of
Speaker 1: games or logged a ton of minutes with the seventy
Speaker 1: six ers last year, But he was just a guy
Speaker 1: that when he got in good things seemed to happen.
Speaker 1: Maybe even more than that, it didn't look like he
Speaker 1: was swallowed up by the setting of being there, and
Speaker 1: he continued to pop and show some good stuff tonight.
Speaker 1: I wanted to dive in a little bit more, of course,
Speaker 1: with Tobias Harris. I mean, I think a narrative surrounding
Speaker 1: him from the outside going into this year was like, well,
Speaker 1: you know, now there's I guess like maybe three of
Speaker 1: these top tier players in the seventy six ers where Yeah,
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler last year as a fourth, how would Tobias fit?
Speaker 1: Huge spot Game two of the season, we saw everything
Speaker 1: that Tobias Harris could do, especially offensively, but I also
Speaker 1: thought he played a pretty good defensive game tonight as well. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I think he realized that they needed it, you
Speaker 1: know what I like. And you know, offensively, he's already
Speaker 1: and he's willing to take those threes, and he's six
Speaker 1: nine and he catches it and then as a high
Speaker 1: release point and he's he gets that ball off quickly
Speaker 1: as well. I think that's part of what makes him
Speaker 1: a really good perimeter player. And then, as I've said
Speaker 1: so many times since the Sixers acquired him, if he
Speaker 1: gets a smaller guy at him, he doesn't mess around.
Speaker 1: He just backs down. He turned, he doesn't have to
Speaker 1: get all the way to the basket. He just turns
Speaker 1: around and scores the ball. So he really almost single handling. Again,
Speaker 1: the guys are moving the ball to him. But he
Speaker 1: started making those threes, and that's what allowed the Sixers
Speaker 1: to battle back from that ten point lead. And then
Speaker 1: he in the fourth handed the basketball baton if he
Speaker 1: will over to Al Horford, and Horford began to dominate, drumming,
Speaker 1: making threes, driving, getting to the line, following, I mean
Speaker 1: getting guarding, drumming and without following, and just doing a
Speaker 1: tremendous job in many areas. He just got stronger as
Speaker 1: the game went on. Six Ers over Detroit one seventeen,
Speaker 1: one eleven. They got a big four quarter from Al Horford.
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons time, I thought he played a really nice game.
Speaker 1: Again he did he like I said, I thought when
Speaker 1: he got the foul and again, like so, I just
Speaker 1: described how Harris scores when he gets in an ISO
Speaker 1: and He's real careful to avoid charging and if it's
Speaker 1: not there, he kicks it out. That's something I think
Speaker 1: Ben needs to kind of come to grips with at times.
Speaker 1: And that is it looked like the Sixers play called
Speaker 1: to play for him out of the gate, and third
Speaker 1: he had Morris on him. Morris steps in and then
Speaker 1: Ben drops his shoulder and knocks him down. So that's
Speaker 1: now his fourth foul. He thought he was gonna have
Speaker 1: to come out. He kept looking over toward the bench
Speaker 1: and that altered his game a little bit. So He's
Speaker 1: obviously very good below the foul line at driving that ball,
Speaker 1: but he was a little concerned. You could tell by
Speaker 1: the way he was veering away from the basket of
Speaker 1: picking up a charge and potentially the fifth foul, especially
Speaker 1: with a lot of time to go. And that led
Speaker 1: to a few jumpers, which is fine, but he ended
Speaker 1: up taking fadeaway jumpers from the corner of the shots
Speaker 1: he did make and even some he missed. Are those
Speaker 1: difficult in the end he was five or thirteen from
Speaker 1: the floor. Are some of those difficult running bank shots?
Speaker 1: They look great when he makes them, but as I say,
Speaker 1: high degree of difficulty. But seven steals, thirteen points, tenniss
Speaker 1: He did a lot to run this ball club and
Speaker 1: helped them get over the finish line with the win. Alrighty,
Speaker 1: Tom McGinnis. We'll be back on the air on Monday
Speaker 1: when the seventy sixers closed after this two game road
Speaker 1: trip against the Atlanta Hawks from State Farm RAINA. Thanks Tom,
Speaker 1: good night, Brian, thank you. Seventy six ers overcome the
Speaker 1: Detroit Pistons in a game that featured eleven ties and
Speaker 1: eight lead changes one seventeen, one eleven. Ben Simmons might
Speaker 1: not have had the perfect game. I guess really when
Speaker 1: I was leading with that question, was some of the
Speaker 1: stuff we saw it down the stretch in crunch time.
Speaker 1: Thought that he certainly was important in helping set up
Speaker 1: Al Horford for key baskets and then defensively, he was
Speaker 1: someone who irritated and bothered Detroit throughout the game. Twenty
Speaker 1: nine for Tobias Harris, thirteen of which came in the
Speaker 1: fourth quarter alone. Al Horford with twenty three points and
Speaker 1: nine rebounds and five assists. Josh Richardson ten points and
Speaker 1: six times. Ben Simmons thirteen points, four rebounds, seven steals,
Speaker 1: a career high he was a really solid presence for
Speaker 1: the seventy sixers. Mike Scott with seventeen off the bench,
Speaker 1: Shake Milton with ten and a reserve role as well.
Speaker 1: We'll play back some highlights and wrap up our postgame
Speaker 1: coverage in just a moment. To on the road for
Speaker 1: the seventy six ers, a trip beginning tonight at Little
Speaker 1: Caesar's Arena in Detroit on Brian Selters Sixers du win
Speaker 1: Tonight one seventeen, one eleven. Joel Embiid did not play.
Speaker 1: He is on the trip and went through portions of
Speaker 1: today's shoot around. Probably get an update either tomorrow or
Speaker 1: on Monday about his status for Monday's game against the
Speaker 1: Atlanta Hawks. Let's hear about how this one went. As
Speaker 1: called by the one and only Tom McGinnis. Seventy Sixers
Speaker 1: raced out to a quick start courtesy of a former Piston,
Speaker 1: Tobias Harris Simmons. The Harris Tobias driving by Drummond by
Speaker 1: one that in the night hekes a bump, puts it
Speaker 1: up an end to Bias Harris not taking the three
Speaker 1: off the dribble hops of the right stops lays it
Speaker 1: up from nine feet into paint well. The Sixers went
Speaker 1: up twelve to two at that point, but then Detroit
Speaker 1: answered with a thirteen to three run of its own
Speaker 1: and led by one twenty nine twenty eight after a quarter.
Speaker 1: Seventy Sixers then were battling uphill in period number two.
Speaker 1: Gwinn on the left side, Matise dive Alo a drive,
Speaker 1: Thible loft the ball, Brown picks it up and now
Speaker 1: freakshns these has it stolen by Simmons, Ben Davila two
Speaker 1: hind thrown Hey thunderous lamb by Ben Simmons locked it
Speaker 1: up at thirty eighty piece, but the seventy sixers were
Speaker 1: down three fifty seven fifty four at the break. Detroit
Speaker 1: widen the gap to thirteen points. In the third quarter.
Speaker 1: Tobias Harris was the catalyst for a company Harris down
Speaker 1: the fire, sidelighting of Matise, Thibal with the dribble five
Speaker 1: all into the corner, circles back hits a trailing nil
Speaker 1: Horford and now to the Bias three balls shot here bang.
Speaker 1: It's good. Best play of the game by the Sixers
Speaker 1: at that point. It was, but some of the players
Speaker 1: would only get better. The seventy Sixers managed just four
Speaker 1: three pointers in the first half in the third quarter
Speaker 1: that you were able to match that number with four more.
Speaker 1: Milton trying to get around Derrick Rose, he goes to
Speaker 1: Mike Scott. Scott fakes it back to netto shot clock
Speaker 1: at nine. They go back to Scott. He's gonna shoot
Speaker 1: it on Christian what it is? Good? Ties the game
Speaker 1: A four three in the game by Mike Scott even
Speaker 1: in an eighty three and that would be the score
Speaker 1: going into the fourth quarter. And at that point the
Speaker 1: Sixers seemed to find their legs looked really, really solid
Speaker 1: and fluid. Shake Milton stepped up, Shake Milton for three,
Speaker 1: and it's good. Milton nails a corner. Three Simmons of
Speaker 1: the past of Milton in the corner and shake Milton
Speaker 1: gives us Sixers ninety five. Leave But seventy six Ers
Speaker 1: five of seven from three in the all important fourth quarter,
Speaker 1: the Sixers leading by four. Al Horford then went on
Speaker 1: a tear of his own. The seventy Sixers got a
Speaker 1: huge push from him. They had a fifteen to five
Speaker 1: run that was ignited by Horford. He scored ten in
Speaker 1: a row. At one point five on the clock, Derrick
Speaker 1: Rose has Richard said richards and went three. He goes
Speaker 1: back to Horford. He's gonna fire for three. Shut up,
Speaker 1: it's good again. Al Harford is making his presence. Don't
Speaker 1: in a huge way. To say the least one twelve
Speaker 1: on oh two was in the score at that point.
Speaker 1: Seventy Sixers hang on to win it by six in
Speaker 1: come from behind fashion. Final notes from the final box scores.
Speaker 1: Seventy Sixers ended up shooting forty eight percent from the field,
Speaker 1: Detroit just under fifty four percent. Seventy six Ers hit
Speaker 1: thirteen three pointers compared to eight from Detroit, and that's
Speaker 1: essentially year ball game. The Sixers were plus three on
Speaker 1: the glass. They turned the ball over twenty two times.
Speaker 1: Detroit committed twenty three turnovers. Tobias Harris twenty nine points
Speaker 1: to lead the seventy sixers. He also added seven rebounds
Speaker 1: and two steals. Al Horford with twenty three points, nine
Speaker 1: rebounds and five assists. Ben Simmons thirteen points, ten assists,
Speaker 1: four rebounds, seven steals a career high. Josh Richardson with
Speaker 1: ten points six times seventeen from Mike Scott off the
Speaker 1: bench to go with five three pointers ten point points
Speaker 1: for Shake Milton Derrick Rose had thirty one four. Detroit
Speaker 1: seventy six Ers will next face the Atlanta Hawks. The
Speaker 1: Atlanta Hawks beat Detroit on opening night, and they also
Speaker 1: knocked off the Orlando Magic tonight one oh three to
Speaker 1: ninety nine. So two two and oh teams will go
Speaker 1: head to head on Monday at State Farm Arena. Atlanta,
Speaker 1: of course, led by former seventy Sixers assistant coach Lloyd Pierce.
Speaker 1: Look at for this man named Trey Young. He has
Speaker 1: combined to score doing my math real quickly thirty eight
Speaker 1: plus thirty nine as what seventy seven points through the
Speaker 1: first two games for Atlanta. He scored thirty eight points
Speaker 1: in the opener and then thirty nine tonight against the
Speaker 1: Orlando Magic. So the Sixers will hope to get Joel
Speaker 1: and be back on Monday and continue getting great defensive
Speaker 1: play as Trey Young is on fire through the first
Speaker 1: two games of the season. One final time, the final
Speaker 1: score it was the seventy six Ers one seventeen and
Speaker 1: the Detroit Pistons one eleven. You've been listening to rewind
Speaker 1: look out for fresh episodes the day after every seventy
Speaker 1: Sixers game this season.
