WEBVTT - The BroadCast: 3/19/18- Rewind vs. Hornets 0:00:01.040 --> 0:00:04.520 This is the Philadelphia has seventy Sixers postgame show. I 0:00:05.519 --> 0:00:08.200 can look about about broad frees hard. He's gonna turn 0:00:08.240 --> 0:00:12.039 and get it off Patty rolling the Sixers postgame show 0:00:12.640 --> 0:00:17.200 right now on Nutty seventy five. The Fanetic six is 0:00:17.280 --> 0:00:19.720 victorious tonight over the Charlotte Horne is winning one oh 0:00:19.800 --> 0:00:23.040 eight ninety four. Right now we head to the head coach. 0:00:23.680 --> 0:00:30.120 Mixture makes him incredibly unique, but it is not interconnected 0:00:30.280 --> 0:00:34.040 to to he's turning it over tonight and it's easier 0:00:34.080 --> 0:00:37.319 for him to just shoot threes. It's not that I've 0:00:37.360 --> 0:00:40.680 got him practicing certain things. Are you talking about like 0:00:40.760 --> 0:00:45.760 more times mental handling and control and in general practicing. 0:00:49.000 --> 0:00:52.640 You know, this season hasn't been that for Joe lmbid. 0:00:53.479 --> 0:00:56.560 It's the most unusual thing that I've ever experienced that 0:00:56.600 --> 0:01:01.560 he's that capable, in that talented to impact a game 0:01:02.280 --> 0:01:05.000 and be selected as a starter on the All Star 0:01:05.080 --> 0:01:09.319 team with effectively not practicing with his team. You know, 0:01:09.440 --> 0:01:14.160 like we're really trying to preserve his health. And my 0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:16.360 message to them, and I've said it to you, is 0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:19.600 during this period, and I've learned this over many years, 0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:23.280 it's like, how do you retain maintain the health to 0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:26.960 deliver them to April. How do you retain this spirit, 0:01:27.080 --> 0:01:30.640 maintain this spirit both a very interconnected and then how 0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:35.880 do you retain maintain the form of just playing good basketball? 0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:38.000 And they're all kind of intertwined. If you can arrive 0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:43.160 to a playoff ticking those three boxes, the healthy, the cockey, 0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:47.560 the spirits are up and they're playing good basketball. I 0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:49.640 like our chances. I think that we can go into 0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:52.840 the playoffs and be something a little bit unique. Is 0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:56.080 this something where it's primarily because it never played his 0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:57.840 money mantes or can you see him practicing more in 0:01:57.920 --> 0:01:59.800 future years with the future If I do, I think 0:01:59.800 --> 0:02:03.080 in future years for sure, for sure. Like we we're 0:02:03.240 --> 0:02:06.920 navigating this year and we're learning some things. I think 0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:11.120 that Joel, you know, is so competitive that he wants 0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:13.720 to play every game and wants to play back to backs, 0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:16.280 and it's a little bit pulling teeth right now of 0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:18.560 deciding what game is he gonna sit. You know, we 0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:21.200 got a back to back coming up, nothing's been decided. 0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:25.320 And trying to respect his voice. It's his body, he 0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:28.799 feels himself, he's put in physically, he looks good. It's 0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:31.320 not like he's overweight, he's cut up, he looks good. 0:02:31.800 --> 0:02:34.360 But the feel of the game, the flow of the sport, 0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:37.920 you know, can catch playing in a crowd, it's it's 0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:40.880 it's it's not comfortable at times. Because of that, I 0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:48.880 believe it's a collaborative thing. It's it's led by Joel Embiat, 0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:53.320 you know, you know, supported by the medical staff, listened 0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:58.080 to by me. I'm a recipient of news and I've 0:02:58.160 --> 0:03:01.800 learned that that I should be a recipient. I don't 0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:05.400 fight it. I don't fight it. I listened and I 0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:10.640 listened to him, and we should all be thrilled that 0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:13.880 he's always that he's having the season that he's having 0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:19.280 with the knowledge of watch out, Look what he can be, like, really, 0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:23.360 look what he can be once he starts interacting and 0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:27.440 practicing with his team and getting his health where everybody's comfortable. 0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:31.360 That was Sixers head coach Brett Brown outside of the 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:34.800 locker room after a Sixers win one h eight ninety four. 0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:37.120 Hello all again, I'm divine. Given's here with you on 0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:40.280 the postgame show Live from the Center after the Sixers 0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:43.800 win their third straight game and third straight overall over 0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:46.440 the Charlotte Hornets. Having played them three times this month 0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:49.600 thus far, one more coming on Easter Sunday. As Tom 0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:52.120 again has pointed out during the broadcast, is Brett Brown 0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:57.520 alluded to as we joined the postgame press conference, Joel 0:03:57.560 --> 0:03:59.880 and beat his all star center was fantastic tonight to 0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:04.240 He finished with twenty five points in nineteen rebounds, four 0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:06.600 block shots, ten of seventeen from the floor, four of 0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:08.760 six from behind the three point line, with thirty one 0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:12.320 minutes and six seconds not four personal fouls, but he 0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:15.320 didn't really have that much of foul trouble overall throughout 0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:17.640 the night, even though he was playing against Dwight Howard, 0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:21.520 who was very active. In turn, Joel Embi got Dwight 0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:24.640 Howard in foul trouble yet again for the second straight game. 0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:29.239 So overall, Joel Embie really good tonight, helping the Sixers 0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:32.720 pick up their thirty ninth win on the season right 0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:35.760 now thirty nine and thirty in the Eastern Conference to 0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:38.640 a big win for the Philadelphia seventy sixers yet again. 0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:42.320 Also Ben Simmons in the win another trip will double hit, 0:04:42.320 --> 0:04:46.360 the ninth of the season eleven points, fifteen assists, twelve rebounds, 0:04:46.400 --> 0:04:48.880 only taking nine shots but the way the game flowed, 0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:52.120 he didn't really need to contribute in that way. He 0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:54.120 picked his spot to when he wanted to shoot, finishing 0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:56.400 four of nine from the field. Overall, did get to 0:04:56.400 --> 0:04:59.400 the free throw line, converting three or four, but yet again, 0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:01.880 just a way to get it done. Eleven points, fifteen 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:05.120 to sis, twelve boards in thirty three minutes with zero 0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:08.479 turnovers for the rookie point guard. Another superb night four 0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:12.479 Joe Ben Simmons on the evening. When we come back, 0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:15.400 we'd take a quick run back and connect with Tom 0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:18.200 McGinnis as we discussed this big win again for the 0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:21.240 Philadelphia seventy six is now thirty nine and thirty on 0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:23.760 this season. This is the postgame show I'm Divine Givens 0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:30.800 Live from the Center. Six is victorious for the third 0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:34.800 game in a row as a pickup game, winning number 0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:37.599 thirty nine one Season one O eight ninety four over 0:05:37.640 --> 0:05:40.000 the Charlotte Horness. Charlotte Horns dropped the thirty and forty 0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:42.240 one Sixes improve again to thirty nine to thirty. I'm 0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:44.960 Divine Givens. This is the postgame show on the Sixers 0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:47.719 Radio Network and we are rejoined by the great Tom 0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:50.200 McGinnis and Tom when we talked about this earlier, it 0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:53.000 was about not letting up on the team, no matter 0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:55.400 who it was, making sure you established things early. Got 0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:57.400 off to a little rough start at the end of 0:05:57.400 --> 0:05:59.600 the first quarter they were down, but they did pick 0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:02.640 it up in a third quarter when needed. Most time. Yeah, no, 0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:05.480 they trailed. They actually led after one, but trailed at 0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:08.760 the half. After a big quarter by Billy Hernan Gomez, 0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:11.800 who did not score after that. He had fifteen of 0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:14.599 his career high seventeen in the second, and then a 0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:17.480 knockout punch by the Sixers. They hold Charlotte to fourteen 0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:20.279 points in the third, rack up thirty two themselves. They 0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:23.880 had seven made threes in that third quarter. And isn't 0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:26.320 an interesting that that one segment of a game can 0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:29.160 turn it around. Quite frankly, that's how the Sixers used 0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:31.479 to lose games, and now they're able to land an 0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:34.240 uppercut and knock the opponents back out of the way. 0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:38.040 But having said that, it was again tied at eighty eight. 0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:40.960 The Sixers got up eleven into the fourth, and yet 0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:44.360 then they close out the game twenty to six, and look, 0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:46.960 Charlotte ends up with ninety four points. Here's a stat. 0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:48.440 I don't know if you already said this, but the 0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:50.880 Sixers are seventeen and oh when they hold the opposition 0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:53.479 under one hundred points. So that's pretty good. Brett Brown 0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:56.000 saying before the game, the numbers are trending good, but 0:06:56.040 --> 0:06:59.080 he wants to seat in harder, tougher defense, and I 0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:01.839 thought tonight they had that, and quite frankly, they should 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:04.800 be Charlotte. I mean, you know, Charlotte came in here 0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:07.960 and Walker had a much better game. But here's a 0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:10.080 team that's down and the Sixers are on the right. 0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:12.120 You got to pound this team, and in the end, 0:07:12.160 --> 0:07:13.880 they took care of their own here at home. Twenty 0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:16.440 four four Kimball Walker in this game, and they were 0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:19.000 able to withstand what he gave you and pretty much 0:07:19.080 --> 0:07:20.960 hold off many of the others, even when you said 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:24.000 Hernan Gomez with the seventeen at the half, did not 0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:27.000 score after halftime. So that was a great defensive effort 0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:29.240 by the Sixes, specifically Joel Lenbiade. As we get into 0:07:29.320 --> 0:07:31.200 him in the numbers that he put up again twenty 0:07:31.240 --> 0:07:34.400 five and nineteen and thirty one minutes of play, This 0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:36.600 is why you have him he's the All Star. He's 0:07:36.600 --> 0:07:39.240 the difference maker in most games time, and not only 0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:41.720 just the points in the rebounds, but then establishing the 0:07:41.760 --> 0:07:44.200 paint and not allowing things to happen along with the 0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:46.640 four blocks. No, right, he was very good. He's very 0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:49.160 good at even if a player gets by him, recovering 0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:52.960 with his length and athleticism to defend the rim and 0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:56.480 block those balls and come from behind fashion. He's a 0:07:56.560 --> 0:07:58.680 rare player, I mean with the footwork and the ability 0:07:58.680 --> 0:08:01.440 to hit those feathery wing um shots, the four threes 0:08:01.840 --> 0:08:05.080 from out top off the dribble. Now tonight he struggled. 0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:07.880 I thought he rushed a little bit with these turnovers. 0:08:07.880 --> 0:08:10.120 He had nine of them, and they came in all forms. 0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:13.000 Like Brett Brown tries to, you know, decipher the sixers 0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:15.960 overall turnovers tonight you could, you know, drill down and 0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:18.000 find you well. And he just passed the ball a 0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:20.840 little quickly many times when when they doubled, and then 0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:23.560 once they saw that he was turning over, they here 0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:26.320 comes a steady stream of here comes Kaminski, here comes 0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:29.800 a second defender. Quite often. But in the end he 0:08:29.880 --> 0:08:32.680 was really good. I thought, Emir Johnson, it's amazing the 0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:35.640 impact that Emir Johnson has when you know it's not 0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:38.839 twenty something points at ten rebounds, but it's impactful every 0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:41.480 teen single time he's out there. And I thought he 0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:44.120 was really good. They kept Howard out of the game. 0:08:44.200 --> 0:08:48.080 Howard had intermittent foul difficulty, ended up with five. He 0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:51.520 never got to establish anything in the game. And you know, 0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:54.120 the Sixers just three balls not going away. And this 0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:56.760 is they've done this multiple times. They've tied a franchise 0:08:56.840 --> 0:09:00.560 record with eighteen threes. Bell and Elli came in, was big, 0:09:00.600 --> 0:09:04.320 he had four JJ hot early. I mean, it was 0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:06.800 just that that's what you have team for. Ursun didn't 0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:09.400 play particularly well. Dario didn't have one of his best games, 0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:12.040 and yet he had enough guys. Ben with a triple double. 0:09:12.120 --> 0:09:13.559 Here we go into the post game. We haven't even 0:09:13.559 --> 0:09:16.440 mentioned Ben Simmons with this third triple double in the 0:09:16.520 --> 0:09:20.520 last four games. Nine overall, just incredible. I thought they 0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:22.240 did a good job. Teams have been doing a pretty 0:09:22.240 --> 0:09:25.120 good job for the most part keeping Siven. Though he 0:09:25.120 --> 0:09:27.560 takes that dribble below the file line, he's not getting 0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:29.640 all the way to the rim, and then it's a 0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:34.240 very difficult Hier arching ofttimes off handed shot, you know, 0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:37.520 arcing a hook type of shot. Kid Gilchris did a 0:09:37.520 --> 0:09:40.760 good job of keeping Ben away from seb We say 0:09:40.880 --> 0:09:43.800 the restricted area, you know that four by four area 0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:45.840 to the rim. But he impacted the game in a 0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:48.520 big way and a nice win for the Sixers series. 0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:51.360 They they're trying to take care of business, not letting up, 0:09:51.480 --> 0:09:53.439 and they've done it now with three consecutive wins in 0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:55.440 a row. Tom McGinn, he's joining us here on the 0:09:55.440 --> 0:09:58.000 postgame show Live at the Center and Tom one name 0:09:58.080 --> 0:10:00.760 that really you mentioned Amir Johnson and and Nelly also 0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:03.360 have the bench, but one guy have to point out. 0:10:03.480 --> 0:10:06.520 Nineteen minutes and forty six second Justin Anderson came in 0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:09.560 and defensively what he was able to give you out 0:10:09.600 --> 0:10:11.280 on a perimeter and we talk about a plenty as 0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:12.880 you said, they should beat a team like this, and 0:10:12.920 --> 0:10:15.920 if they have aspirations of getting to the postseason. That's 0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:18.600 someone who may get five minutes one night, he may 0:10:18.679 --> 0:10:22.800 get fifteen minutes another night. But tonight overall, both defensively 0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:24.760 and surprising have been on offense. He played a really 0:10:24.840 --> 0:10:27.400 nice game. Well again, he had a lot going on 0:10:27.480 --> 0:10:29.320 prior to the All Star Break when he twists that 0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:33.280 ankle against Miami. And you know, as we've said before, 0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:36.200 he's the type of wing player that you're gonna need. 0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:39.240 You're gonna throw him out on Bradley Beale or Oladipo 0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:42.400 or whomever it might be in terms of he's one 0:10:42.440 --> 0:10:46.200 of those players that is really talented defensively and then oh, 0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:48.040 by the way, if he sticks a couple of threes, 0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:52.160 it's really advantageous. So no, hopefully he can get going here. 0:10:52.200 --> 0:10:54.559 He's certainly been able to. You know, the first time 0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:56.920 he played was back in Charlotte back on March six, 0:10:57.000 --> 0:10:59.559 so he's totally back now and he'll get back into 0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:01.760 the rhythm and you know, the three point shooting with him, 0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:05.040 he's not traditionally been a highly consistent player from there, 0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:08.120 but he's certainly capable. And again, you get a couple 0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:11.000 threes from that guy, maybe three in a game, that's 0:11:11.040 --> 0:11:14.199 a great extra added bonus. And then you add TJ. 0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:17.200 I mean, the second unit is definitely picked it up 0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:19.920 quite a bit and it's gonna be a pivotal part 0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:22.760 of the Sixers success down the stretch. And Lord Willing 0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:26.000 in the playoffs, second Union really starting to establish themselves. Tom, 0:11:26.000 --> 0:11:27.840 But listen, thanks so much for joining us for a 0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:31.320 few minutes. Here. We'll connect on Wednesday, Memphis in town 0:11:31.400 --> 0:11:33.720 here at the center, all right, Thank you. Tom aginnis 0:11:33.760 --> 0:11:36.240 again joining us live on the postgame show as the 0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:38.719 Sixers pick up another victory, the third in a row, 0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:42.640 one oh eight to ninety four over the Charlotte Hornets. 0:11:42.640 --> 0:11:45.800 Again off the Benchmarko Bellinelli led the bench unit with 0:11:45.840 --> 0:11:48.640 twenty one points eight to fourteen overall from the floor, 0:11:48.760 --> 0:11:50.720 five three points, five of nine. He had a string 0:11:50.720 --> 0:11:53.400 there in the third quarter where he just didn't seem 0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:54.960 like he was gonna miss when he made three of 0:11:55.000 --> 0:11:59.480 those in that particular quarter, also adding two assists in 0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:02.240 two re bounds on the evening as well, Justin Anderson, 0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:04.440 as we mentioned, one or five from behind the three 0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:06.520 point line, three of seven from the floor. But it 0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:09.480 really doesn't really talk about how important he was for 0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:13.040 this team's victory tonight and being able to help defensively 0:12:13.320 --> 0:12:15.520 and what he's able to do, whether it's on Kimball 0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:18.640 Walker switching to him, over to Jeremy Lamb, or even 0:12:18.640 --> 0:12:20.480 some of the guys off the bench like Malik Monk 0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:24.760 or Dwayne Bacon. Just a solid effort defensively for Justin Anderson. 0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:28.280 Eliosolva quiet night once again, one of seven from the 0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:31.760 floor for only two points. But you know, you're not afraid. 0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:34.000 He's a veteran player, he knows where he needs to be, 0:12:34.040 --> 0:12:36.240 and you're not afraid to give him the ball and 0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:38.719 hopefully have some things come out for him. Also in 0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:40.360 the box score, when you look at things, and we 0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:43.480 talk about assists quite a bit with this team, thirty 0:12:43.520 --> 0:12:46.160 assists on forty two May baskets once again, so it's 0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:48.800 not a lot of one on one, it's all team balls. 0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:51.600 They try to get things going. The passes are constantly 0:12:51.600 --> 0:12:54.160 on the move, and that's one thing that the Sixes 0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:56.760 and Brett Brown pride themselves on and sharing the basketball, 0:12:56.840 --> 0:12:59.319 swinging the basketball to the open man, trying to get 0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:02.280 a shot. Also on the glass, a domination on the 0:13:02.320 --> 0:13:04.880 glass tonight, and we know him Bead had nineteen, Ben 0:13:04.920 --> 0:13:08.199 Simmons had twelve. How about a twenty point advantage on 0:13:08.240 --> 0:13:11.200 the glass over the Charlotte Hornet. So these are the 0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:13.440 type of things that you're going to need as you 0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:16.360 get into that playoff run and the Sixers are starting 0:13:16.360 --> 0:13:19.160 to do the little things in this three game stretch 0:13:19.440 --> 0:13:22.360 to show that this is something that they could probably 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:26.000 lean on during the postseason. Sixers win one oh eight 0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:29.200 ninety four over the Charlotte Hornets improved to thirty nine 0:13:29.200 --> 0:13:31.760 and thirty on the season. They much needed win for 0:13:31.960 --> 0:13:34.720 the seventy Sixers yet again as they get another game 0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:37.880 where they should win on Wednesday against the Memphis Christie's. 0:13:37.880 --> 0:13:39.600 On the other side, we just heard from Tom A. Guinness. 0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:41.840 Now we'll get us highlights and that will be on 0:13:41.840 --> 0:13:43.760 the other side. I'm Divine Givens. This is the postgame 0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:50.520 show here on the Sixers Radio Network. One h eight 0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:53.079 ninety four. That's the final scores. The seventy Sixers pick 0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:55.360 up there thirty ninth win on the season in game 0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:58.240 number sixty nine. Here at the Centum, Divine Givens, this 0:13:58.360 --> 0:14:02.120 is the post game show. Time for some highlights. As 0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:05.320 we start things off with Marco Bellanelli. We talked about 0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:08.560 his three point acumen from behind the yark, but he 0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:10.760 got things started early in the first Corter a little 0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:14.080 closer to the room, Corvyton curls catches off the dribble, 0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:16.560 handoff back to a mirror wrap round down low. It's 0:14:16.600 --> 0:14:20.840 dropped by Ben Simmons to a cunning Bellanelli and Marco Jampson, 0:14:21.040 --> 0:14:25.520 a two hand stuff off a slot drive by Marco Bellanelli. 0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:28.600 I mean it seventeen eight and sixes on a nine 0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:30.640 old run. At that time, you didn't know Marco had 0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:32.640 that in you did it? Had him in, did you? 0:14:32.720 --> 0:14:35.000 So that will put the Sixes up against seventeen to 0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:38.800 eight at the end of the first quarter to Philadelphia 0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:41.800 seventy sixes. In fact, we're up twenty one to eighteen 0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:45.080 after one coming back, and we talked about the eighteen 0:14:45.160 --> 0:14:49.000 three pointers a tying a franchise record for the Philadelphia 0:14:49.040 --> 0:14:51.400 seventy six. Is one man who you did not necessarily 0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:55.360 expect that from Marco Bellanelli. Yes, Amir Johnson, not so much. 0:14:55.880 --> 0:14:58.400 Simmons of the file line now backing down one up 0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:01.160 to hand out top of mirror. Johnson wide open for 0:15:01.280 --> 0:15:04.880 three locks, loads and shoots it triple Well, there are 0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:08.120 times when the mirror Johnson is so open he has 0:15:08.200 --> 0:15:11.800 to shoot it, and he does. Have made it forty 0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:14.720 to thirty five. Philadelphia seventy six is still in front 0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:17.080 of the Charlotte horns. That was one of two three 0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:19.520 point attempts by the reserve big man in the mir 0:15:19.760 --> 0:15:23.160 Johnson again forty thirty five. A little later, as Dwayne 0:15:23.200 --> 0:15:26.440 Bacon hit a floater, making forty seven forty two Charlotte. 0:15:26.440 --> 0:15:28.560 They went on a ten old run Kimball Walker again 0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:30.960 with a step back jumper and making fifty three forty 0:15:30.960 --> 0:15:34.240 seven Charlotte. But Willie hernan Gomez at the end of 0:15:34.280 --> 0:15:37.680 the first half with a big jumper seven seconds ago. 0:15:37.880 --> 0:15:41.080 They're trying to him in Kimbell Walker four seconds he 0:15:41.120 --> 0:15:43.760 throws it into hernan Gomez three ball from the corner 0:15:43.920 --> 0:15:47.360 is good and why not. He's dominated the first half. 0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:52.560 Billy hernan Gomez fifty six forty nine Charlotte at the 0:15:52.760 --> 0:15:56.600 end of two seventeen points for Billie hernin Gomez for 0:15:56.760 --> 0:15:58.760 the Charlotte, and Horness said the start of the third quarter, 0:15:58.880 --> 0:16:01.600 joeling Bee gets into the mix a little more offensively, 0:16:01.640 --> 0:16:04.840 connecting from deep twice to make it fifty six to 0:16:04.920 --> 0:16:08.600 fifty two and fifty six fifty five. Jj Reddick followed 0:16:08.680 --> 0:16:10.840 up also with one three pointer of his own to 0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:13.240 make it fifty eight fifty six. But the guy off 0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:16.080 the bench that we talked about that was very key tonight. 0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:19.360 With five three pointers. Marco Bellielli again throws it back 0:16:19.360 --> 0:16:21.080 to Simmons. They deflect him, but it goes to Marco. 0:16:21.080 --> 0:16:23.840 He's gonna shoot it Hill again. Mark up bell l 0:16:23.880 --> 0:16:28.160 a hey, Shanna want you to keep me? Three ball 0:16:28.520 --> 0:16:31.680 sex us up by eighth. Back to back three pointers 0:16:31.680 --> 0:16:34.600 by Marco Bellanelli sixty nine sixty four and then that 0:16:34.640 --> 0:16:38.200 one that made it seventy two sixty four six ers. 0:16:38.240 --> 0:16:40.760 He also got into the mix one more time seventy 0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:43.560 five to sixty five with another three pointer, just staying 0:16:43.560 --> 0:16:47.440 in the mix. Marco Bellnelli overall just causing trouble for 0:16:47.560 --> 0:16:50.000 his former team. You heard him speaking with Tom McGinnis 0:16:50.200 --> 0:16:53.400 during the postgame show. Joel Embiid also with another three 0:16:53.440 --> 0:16:56.560 to close out the third quarter, eighty one to seventy. 0:16:56.720 --> 0:16:58.880 At that point at the end of three, that was 0:16:58.960 --> 0:17:01.120 the score eighty one seventy and that was the four 0:17:01.280 --> 0:17:04.240 three four Joel embiad as he again found his mark 0:17:04.560 --> 0:17:07.320 in that third quarter. Dario Schars coming out of the 0:17:07.800 --> 0:17:11.080 out of the end of the third quarter of time out, 0:17:11.520 --> 0:17:14.239 Dario Schars connecting with three off of great effort by 0:17:14.320 --> 0:17:16.760 Mere Johnson with an offensive rebound, kicking it into Schars 0:17:16.960 --> 0:17:19.520 made it eighty eight to eighty three. Malik Monk, the 0:17:19.640 --> 0:17:22.920 rookie from Kentucky very good tonight off the bench for 0:17:23.240 --> 0:17:26.200 thirteen points for the young guard. He did get a 0:17:26.280 --> 0:17:28.720 steel and a dunk to put the tie the game 0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:32.080 up eighty eight eighty eight. Robert Covington then came up 0:17:32.160 --> 0:17:36.000 huge down the stretch, Simmons with a steel, Simmons with numbers, 0:17:36.080 --> 0:17:39.320 Simmons to come free ball, Robert coming to this God. 0:17:39.520 --> 0:17:42.080 He knocks it down for the right side. Simmons on 0:17:42.119 --> 0:17:45.760 the kickout and the Sixers go up eight ninety six 0:17:45.880 --> 0:17:48.720 eighty eight on an eight old run for the Philadelphia 0:17:48.760 --> 0:17:51.200 seventy Sixers. Then they made it an eleven old run, 0:17:51.640 --> 0:17:55.520 a courtesy once again by Marco Belinelli, connecting from deep 0:17:55.600 --> 0:17:58.560 his fifth on the evening. Ben Simmons then made two 0:17:58.600 --> 0:18:01.280 free throws to make it one oh one eighty eight 0:18:01.320 --> 0:18:04.000 to put them up with a thirteen oh run, and 0:18:04.040 --> 0:18:07.080 as we know, once again, the Philadelphia seventy Sixers come 0:18:07.119 --> 0:18:11.800 away victorious one oh eight ninety four over the Charlotte Hornets, 0:18:11.800 --> 0:18:15.080 their third straight win overall after beating both the Knicks 0:18:15.119 --> 0:18:17.240 and the Nets coming back tonight after a weekend off 0:18:17.440 --> 0:18:19.639 to beat the Charlotte Hornets one more time, one oh 0:18:19.680 --> 0:18:22.560 eight to ninety four. This is also the third time 0:18:22.760 --> 0:18:25.040 that they beat Charlotte in the month of March. They 0:18:25.080 --> 0:18:27.679 faced them one more time, and that will be in 0:18:27.720 --> 0:18:32.280 two weeks on Sunday, April first, against Charlotte in Charlotte. 0:18:32.280 --> 0:18:35.879 A one o'clock start for them in this four game series, 0:18:35.920 --> 0:18:38.119 so they're already up three oh As Toim again has 0:18:38.160 --> 0:18:40.560 pointed out, they should be the team like the Charlotte 0:18:40.560 --> 0:18:43.520 Hornton We'll look to see if that's how important that 0:18:43.560 --> 0:18:46.600 game is when it comes to playoff seatings overall, as 0:18:46.600 --> 0:18:49.320 the Sixes again start to wind down the stretch, only 0:18:49.320 --> 0:18:52.880 five games remaining on the road in Orlando, Atlanta, Charlotte, 0:18:52.920 --> 0:18:57.000 Detroit and Atlanta once again. Nine at home now eight 0:18:57.080 --> 0:19:00.440 after this victory over the Charlotte Hornets to night again, 0:19:00.440 --> 0:19:03.800 the Sixers did tie a franchise record with eighteen made 0:19:03.840 --> 0:19:07.920 three pointers on forty four attempts. Just a solid overall 0:19:08.160 --> 0:19:10.800 a night from behind the ark for the Philadelphia seventy Sixers, 0:19:10.840 --> 0:19:14.600 specifically in the third quarter, not too many free throws 0:19:14.600 --> 0:19:17.280 tonight for your home team. Six of eight from the floor, 0:19:17.560 --> 0:19:20.800 not much going to the basket, but Charlotte Horners did 0:19:20.880 --> 0:19:23.160 do that, which is what really kept them in the game. 0:19:23.480 --> 0:19:26.720 Twenty four or thirty from the free throw line, six 0:19:26.880 --> 0:19:29.320 of twenty two from behind the three point line, So 0:19:29.400 --> 0:19:32.880 a lighter night for the Charlotte Horners from behind three 0:19:32.920 --> 0:19:36.240 point line really got them in trouble. Sixers didn't protect 0:19:36.280 --> 0:19:39.040 the basketball as well as you would have liked. More 0:19:39.119 --> 0:19:42.240 so Joel and B. Outside of his turnovers the nine 0:19:42.280 --> 0:19:45.000 that he put up tonight, only seven as a team 0:19:45.080 --> 0:19:48.720 for the Philadelphia seventy Sixers overall in terms of the turnovers, 0:19:48.720 --> 0:19:51.800 so sixteen turnovers for the Philadelphia seventy Sixers. As the 0:19:51.840 --> 0:19:54.040 game slows down for Joel and B a little more, 0:19:54.040 --> 0:19:56.760 he figures out what these double teams coming from. Hopefully 0:19:56.800 --> 0:19:59.520 that number will be way lower and that's not something 0:19:59.560 --> 0:20:02.560 that you have to worry about, specifically in the playoffs, 0:20:02.600 --> 0:20:05.080 no matter who the matchup is. After tonight's win, the 0:20:05.119 --> 0:20:08.040 Philadelphia seventy Sixers right now again thirty nine and thirty 0:20:08.080 --> 0:20:11.439 on the season, half a game behind the Washington Wizards 0:20:11.440 --> 0:20:15.800 who hold down the five spot. Indiana and Cleveland both 0:20:16.080 --> 0:20:19.280 one game up on the Philadelphia seventy Sixers, so the 0:20:19.320 --> 0:20:22.040 third overall seed is still very much in sight for 0:20:22.119 --> 0:20:25.200 the Philadelphia seventy Sixers if they handle their business, take 0:20:25.240 --> 0:20:27.640 care of their home games eight of them, take care 0:20:27.640 --> 0:20:29.760 of the teams on the road that are very winnable 0:20:30.040 --> 0:20:33.199
