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. The
Speaker 1: seventy Sixers needed a win, and a win they got tonight,
Speaker 1: a hard earned victory one seventeen, one oh six over
Speaker 1: the Brooklyn Nets. I'm Brian Seltzer from down here at
Speaker 1: the Center where the seventy Sixers improved to twenty six
Speaker 1: and sixteen pick up their third win in nine tries.
Speaker 1: The moment of this game tonight, it just felt like
Speaker 1: the Sixers needed to get a dub. I know it's
Speaker 1: only game number forty two out of eighty two on
Speaker 1: the air, but based on the way things had gone
Speaker 1: the last week two weeks, you know, these wins have
Speaker 1: been tough to come by for the Sixers, especially since
Speaker 1: they've been on the road. This was a nice one
Speaker 1: to get. The Sixers had to battle uphill for most
Speaker 1: of the game. There were ten ties, there were twelve
Speaker 1: league changes. Fourth quarter was monstrous for the Sixers. They
Speaker 1: clamped down. They outscored the Nets thirty one to sixteen.
Speaker 1: How great was Tobias Harris thirty four points, ten rebounds,
Speaker 1: another double double for the Big offseason signy Ben Simmons
Speaker 1: a double double with twenty points, eleven rebounds fifteen points
Speaker 1: for fur Con Corkmas. Off the bench, he had a
Speaker 1: couple three key threes early on in the fourth quarter
Speaker 1: that gave the seventy sixers some life, actually shot them
Speaker 1: in the lead for the first time since early in
Speaker 1: the game. Also got a tip your captist someone like
Speaker 1: Al Horford. At the end of the night, he finishes
Speaker 1: with fourteen points, eight rebounds, six assists, two steals. He
Speaker 1: had a big block on Kyrie Irving late that ultimately
Speaker 1: got the seventy six of the ball back. And you know,
Speaker 1: you might point to the four for fourteen from the field,
Speaker 1: the two for nine from outside the arc, but you
Speaker 1: know he was plus fifteen, a team high in thirty
Speaker 1: two minutes of action and undoubtedly in the fourth quarter,
Speaker 1: just a big, big performance by Al Horford. He scored
Speaker 1: inside and out, He made some really key passes to
Speaker 1: keep the seventy sixers ball moving and then, as I said,
Speaker 1: that defensive play leading the charge on Kyrie Irving late
Speaker 1: to get the seventy six of the ball at a
Speaker 1: spot where they needed to maintain momentum to put this
Speaker 1: one away for the Brooklyn Nets. They did some things well.
Speaker 1: Spencer Dinwoodie tough cover twenty six points, Kyrie Irving fourteen
Speaker 1: points to Night. The Sixers did a pretty decent job
Speaker 1: on him. All things considered. He was six for twenty one.
Speaker 1: He had scored over fifty points in his first two
Speaker 1: games back from a lengthy injury absence. But the Sixers,
Speaker 1: you know that they were just they were looking for
Speaker 1: something feel good first and foremost, and they got it tonight,
Speaker 1: fighting their way back behind a big fourth quarter thirty
Speaker 1: one to sixteen one, seventeen one oh six. The final
Speaker 1: we will bring on Tom McGinnis right now. He had
Speaker 1: the call of tonight's game, and Tom the last two
Speaker 1: games with the Sixers at Dallas at Indy the script
Speaker 1: was great start for the team, second half the opposite
Speaker 1: of that tonight. It was the fourth quarter where the
Speaker 1: seventy Sixers put their stamp on this game. It really
Speaker 1: seemed like they sensed the urgency well and you didn't
Speaker 1: know quite frankly. I mean, there was like a dozen
Speaker 1: lead changes, ten ties. Brooklyn had the upper hand, it
Speaker 1: seemed like for most of the game, up by three
Speaker 1: after halftime, up by four into the fourth, and then
Speaker 1: the Sixers turned it on and they did it with defense,
Speaker 1: and like I said, they did it without following, because
Speaker 1: that was such a big part, or so it seemed
Speaker 1: of the third quarter where every time he thought the
Speaker 1: Sixers got a stop, oh wait, there's been a stopage
Speaker 1: a foul had been called against the Sixers. And then
Speaker 1: again they got multiple solid performances, timely baskets. But the
Speaker 1: guy who started it was Cork Moss. He hit those
Speaker 1: two threes, Brooklyn took time out. I think he got
Speaker 1: a two point field goal. Then he had the free
Speaker 1: throws he got followed beyond the arc by the Wawoo
Speaker 1: Caberreau work on and he goes on the line, makes
Speaker 1: the first free throw, misses the second, misses the third,
Speaker 1: but nobody knows more than the shooter about being short
Speaker 1: on a shot or that year off. And he races
Speaker 1: in there, gets three about and gets a three point
Speaker 1: play in the most unusual fashion, you know, making a
Speaker 1: free throw missing too, and then getting the field goal.
Speaker 1: And so he had a big chunk of scoring there.
Speaker 1: And then Horford, who had struggled from beyond, hit a
Speaker 1: timely three. And then as Brett Brown noted postgame Tobias
Speaker 1: Harris the bell ringer. That's that tradition in the locker
Speaker 1: room when the Sixers win, where they have the players
Speaker 1: signaled out as a guy who made the biggest difference,
Speaker 1: and it was Harris who was the bell ringer, and boy,
Speaker 1: he stepped up big down the stretch. Eleven points in
Speaker 1: the fourth, big time shooting. Simmons, had a brilliant start
Speaker 1: to the game, just really ramming that ball down their throats,
Speaker 1: so to speak. And a great home victory here for
Speaker 1: the Sixers, as you said, you felt like they really
Speaker 1: needed it, having dropped six straight on the road and
Speaker 1: then the most two recent games where they led at
Speaker 1: the half by nine, and yet they came from behind
Speaker 1: here and beat Brooklyn. And you know, again, Brooklyn's a
Speaker 1: difficult matchup for the Sixers, but they were able to
Speaker 1: overcome that. And oh, by the way, they'll see him
Speaker 1: again Monday at three at Barclays seventy Sixers win one
Speaker 1: seventeen to one oh six. They pull out thirty one
Speaker 1: points in the fourth quarter to the side this one
Speaker 1: tonight and yet time to Bias. We just saw a
Speaker 1: great scoring at multiple levels down the stretch in this game,
Speaker 1: really in the last two minutes thirty seconds, that desperation
Speaker 1: leading three with a shot clock expiring to put the
Speaker 1: seventy Sixers up at that point in time one o
Speaker 1: nine to one oh four. I mean, to hit a
Speaker 1: shot of that degree of difficulty, I mean, you talk
Speaker 1: about someone with a skill set to close out a game.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think we've seen this this year. Think
Speaker 1: there've been multiple instances in the fourth quarter when Tobias
Speaker 1: Harris has stepped up. Absolutely you're talking about the three
Speaker 1: ball where it seemed like he was racing over line,
Speaker 1: off balance, leaning forward, and yet was still able to
Speaker 1: get it. And yeah, and then, like I said, I've
Speaker 1: said as any number of times since the Sixers acquired him,
Speaker 1: and that is his ability to go inside and use
Speaker 1: his height and just rise up over a smaller defender
Speaker 1: and get it, score the ball and tight quarters along
Speaker 1: the baseline. And he was very efficient even before his
Speaker 1: big fourth quarter. If you go back to the first
Speaker 1: two plus quarters, like I said, I think he'd only
Speaker 1: miss two shots, So he was very efficient, and at
Speaker 1: different times, different players carried the team. And you have
Speaker 1: to throw Josh Richardson in there as well, because he
Speaker 1: did a tremendous job. And again, look at that number, Brian,
Speaker 1: you got the box score still in front of you,
Speaker 1: Kyrie Irving minus twenty seven. The Sixers did a great job.
Speaker 1: They had a few stops down the stretch. I thought
Speaker 1: Matis played well. The numbers won't necessarily reflect it other
Speaker 1: than I think he had four blocks due to the
Speaker 1: fact that he had to be in and out of
Speaker 1: the game with fouls, and a lot of those were questionable,
Speaker 1: but and thiable. How about the block in the first half,
Speaker 1: the block on Kyrie goes back, goes to the corner
Speaker 1: and knocks down a big three right by their bench.
Speaker 1: That was a tremendous sequence. Earlier in the night, seventy
Speaker 1: sixers of the Brooklyn Nets won seventeen to one oh six.
Speaker 1: What do you think the way Al Horford finished out
Speaker 1: the game? Again, like Brett Brown, wants his guys to
Speaker 1: keep shooting. So even though Al struggled, you know, in
Speaker 1: the end, he made two threes, but he just kept
Speaker 1: letting them fly. And you know, you have to admire
Speaker 1: him that even though he wasn't hitting them, you know,
Speaker 1: he just kept kept firing, and that that's what the
Speaker 1: team wants. So he hits a big three and then
Speaker 1: later off a mismatch the Sixers got on the ball
Speaker 1: down low right by the basket, and that's where he
Speaker 1: obviously he excels such a in his thirteenth year, but
Speaker 1: he turns right around and makes a clutch basket, so
Speaker 1: he had If I'm not mistaken, those were all in
Speaker 1: successions of five in a row. And I talk about
Speaker 1: different guys carrying the if you wild a basketball baton
Speaker 1: at different points and clutch phases that certainly would qualify
Speaker 1: as well. Seventy six Ers get a welcome victory tonight,
Speaker 1: one seventeen, one oh six. It's the Chicago Bulls up
Speaker 1: next tim on Friday. And this is a team that's
Speaker 1: been on the rebuild track in recent seasons. And they're
Speaker 1: fourteen and twenty seven. But you know, just following from far,
Speaker 1: they seem like their game. You know, they've got some talent.
Speaker 1: And the All Star games in Chicago this year and
Speaker 1: Zach Levine, by all counts, is having an All Star. Yeah, No,
Speaker 1: I think he should be in there. You talk about
Speaker 1: a player with bounds and scoring ability, and he's hurt
Speaker 1: the Sixers in years pass. Here we are already halfway
Speaker 1: through the season. The Sixers have played Detroit either all
Speaker 1: four times or three times. They haven't played the Bulls
Speaker 1: at all, so it'd be the first time they're seeing.
Speaker 1: They're only playing them three times this year. There's only
Speaker 1: one trip out to Chicago. But I think Carter has
Speaker 1: been hurt a little bit through the course of this year.
Speaker 1: Lowry Marketing certainly a great talent. I'll tell he's playing
Speaker 1: a lot for them as arch Archidiacno's in there and
Speaker 1: Chris Dunn's having a good year. I honestly, again, I
Speaker 1: think they've been beset by injury. I thought the Bulls
Speaker 1: would be a little bit further along this year than
Speaker 1: they have been. But we'll get a good look at
Speaker 1: them on Friday night. In fact, you'll have the call
Speaker 1: of that game, Bryan already time. We'll talk to you
Speaker 1: then on Saturday when the seventy Sixers visit the Knickerbockers.
Speaker 1: All right, good night things. Sixers beat the Brooklyn Nets
Speaker 1: one seventeen, one oh six. Down here at the center.
Speaker 1: Here are some of the highlights. Sixers coming back off
Speaker 1: the road after losing two straight at Dallas and Indie
Speaker 1: and six losses in their last eight games. Early on,
Speaker 1: you can get the sense that this is going to
Speaker 1: be a tight, hard fought game. Batist Stible starting for
Speaker 1: the fourth time this year, and it was instant energy
Speaker 1: from the ruck. Here's Harris blocked by Matisse and Josh
Speaker 1: Richardson has it at four on two, five, all going right.
Speaker 1: It did win and he gets a layup and that's
Speaker 1: a great aggressive finished there by five and hopefully that'll
Speaker 1: get him going on offense. So he made the play
Speaker 1: at both ends the block and the streaking right hand
Speaker 1: lay up. Sixers by two. And if you've been following
Speaker 1: as of late, you know in first halfs they have
Speaker 1: been dominated by Ben Simmons. Simmons on the drive in
Speaker 1: the lane, right hand layup, and he got it again.
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons running rough shot on the nets. He's got
Speaker 1: four field goals, all are lay up. Sixers have tied it.
Speaker 1: Kyrie went into the lane with the left hand passed
Speaker 1: and Horford knocked it away. Seventy Sixers got ten points
Speaker 1: from Ben Simmons in the first quarter. They were down
Speaker 1: twenty eight twenty five after one. Second quarter was played
Speaker 1: very close, Josh Richardson getting the seventy Sixers back within
Speaker 1: a striking distance late in the first half. Here's a
Speaker 1: three by Richardson, up and good, only the third three
Speaker 1: in the game for the Sixers. Richardson, who can get
Speaker 1: hot in a hurry. Now was seven. Sixers trail by
Speaker 1: four fifty one forty seven the score at that point
Speaker 1: Sixers were down three fifty seven fifty four intermission. In
Speaker 1: the third, Ben Simmons was back to doing his aggressive
Speaker 1: thing and tim why foss Ben, but not hard enough.
Speaker 1: You gotta bringing out Ben Simmons better. Jim what he
Speaker 1: is man. He thought he'd bought him out before the
Speaker 1: drive and Ben Simmons flexes on Spencer had a foul
Speaker 1: got the Sixers within a point sixty nine to sixty eight.
Speaker 1: Sixers trailed by four going into the fourth ninety to
Speaker 1: eighty six. Fur con Corkmas was the guy who in
Speaker 1: replaying the way this game tracked. He lit the fuse
Speaker 1: for the Sixers in the fourth. No doubt Simmons with
Speaker 1: the ball back to furk On three in the year
Speaker 1: It's gonna get back to back praise by fur con
Speaker 1: Corkbas ninety four ninety two Sixers. Simmons with the dish
Speaker 1: will leave behind his eighth assessed time out Brooklyn and
Speaker 1: the crowd and Philadelphia loves it. Standing oh sixers by two,
Speaker 1: and that was the seventy sixers first lead since a
Speaker 1: minute remained essentially in the first quarter. Great stuff from
Speaker 1: fur Con Corkmas. Seventy sixers were able to maintain control
Speaker 1: down the stretch. Tobias Harris was the one who put
Speaker 1: the nail on the coffin of Brooklyn in the late
Speaker 1: Richards said, he loves another bend. He passes way out
Speaker 1: top two to shoot. Harris rises, shoots in the three.
Speaker 1: It's good. A remarkable turn of sixers with a desperation
Speaker 1: three minutes good. It makes it a five point game.
Speaker 1: And then there was this one that pretty much ended
Speaker 1: it to bias with Jared Allan coming out, takes him
Speaker 1: up to bounce in the lane, floats up with the
Speaker 1: right out. It's gone again to Bias. Heir was seven
Speaker 1: in a row and he comes over to the crowd
Speaker 1: in orchestral fashion that pumps his arms hard to get
Speaker 1: this crowd here. Then Philly even more fired up. He
Speaker 1: was the maestro for the seventy sixers in crunch time,
Speaker 1: leading them to a one seventeen one oh six victory
Speaker 1: over the Brooklyn Nets. Harris with thirty four points all.
Speaker 1: He had nine points in the final two minutes twenty
Speaker 1: seconds of regulation, give him a double double with ten rebounds.
Speaker 1: As the Sixers improved to twenty six and sixteen, the
Speaker 1: Nets dropped to eighteen and twenty two. Six Or shot
Speaker 1: fifty one percent from the field. Brooklyn finished at forty
Speaker 1: three and a half percent the Nets with twelve three
Speaker 1: pointers the seventy sixers with eleven. One of the big
Speaker 1: stories for a while was Brooklyn at the fall line,
Speaker 1: getting there much more frequently the seventy sixers. Brooklyn terrible
Speaker 1: from the line tonight, eighteen of thirty, some of their
Speaker 1: better shooting free throw guys missing some opportunities that could
Speaker 1: have kept them in front. When the seventy Sixers made
Speaker 1: their late push, but the Sixers two, their credits stuck
Speaker 1: with the Sixers just sixteen to twenty five from the line.
Speaker 1: Sixers were plus five on the glass. They committed twelve
Speaker 1: turnovers but forced fifteen on Brooklyn. We gave you Tobias's numbers.
Speaker 1: He was also fourteen twenty from the field and four
Speaker 1: of six from outside the arc. Ben Simmons was a
Speaker 1: guy who finished the twenty point plus category and even
Speaker 1: twenty on the nose. He was nine of thirteen from
Speaker 1: the field. He had eleven assist six rebounds as well
Speaker 1: fifteen points for fur Con Quirkmas off the bench, fifteen
Speaker 1: for Josh Richardson and fourteen for Al Horford. Horford also
Speaker 1: with eight rebounds and six assists. Batisse Stible just five
Speaker 1: points two for four one three had four block shots
Speaker 1: that's a new career high to go with two steals.
Speaker 1: The seventy six was getting contributions from all over the
Speaker 1: place tonight in a needed important when they scored sixty
Speaker 1: two points in the paint, that was helpful to their
Speaker 1: cause as well. You've been listening to Rewind. Look out
Speaker 1: for fresh episodes the day after every seventy six Ers
Speaker 1: game this season.
