Speaker 1: These Sixers win tonight's game by twelve points, their forty
Speaker 1: second victory, first time they've had forty two wins since
Speaker 1: oh four, oh five. And again they led it to
Speaker 1: half by seven, and that was actually strange, as Minnesota
Speaker 1: got two free throws, these Sixers failed to get the
Speaker 1: ball in and they allotted five seconds. So then with
Speaker 1: two seconds to go, Minnesota inbounded and Jamal Crawford had
Speaker 1: an unbelievably difficult fadeaway off one foot in the right
Speaker 1: corner that made it a seven point game. And then
Speaker 1: the third quarter started. You can imagine Brett Brown had
Speaker 1: something to say about that inbound play by the Sixers
Speaker 1: at the half, and the Sixers outscored Minnesota twenty to
Speaker 1: four to open the third. All told, they outscored them
Speaker 1: by twenty in the third, and in the Sixers scored
Speaker 1: thirty nine points and they scored seventeen off Minnesota's eight turnovers.
Speaker 1: So we always talk about points off turnovers, and the
Speaker 1: Sixers in that third quarter outscored Minnesota in that area
Speaker 1: seventeen to three in a quarter in which they outscored
Speaker 1: them by twenty and basically put the game out of
Speaker 1: reach almost because Minnesota came back and outscored the Sixers
Speaker 1: by fifteen in the fourth. Here's Brett Brown from outside
Speaker 1: these Sixers locker room with his post game availability, and
Speaker 1: they built up, you know, such a tremendous league. We've
Speaker 1: done it in our past three games. I'm going to
Speaker 1: look past that. I think I recall it earlier this
Speaker 1: year when you just good reserves in there and we
Speaker 1: need to play their way out of the call. It's
Speaker 1: a different because you're so close down in the playoffs
Speaker 1: in these games. I didn't like the way this game
Speaker 1: was feeling, and you know, it's it's one of these
Speaker 1: things that it's this close to the end of the year.
Speaker 1: I don't feel so much at that stage in the
Speaker 1: mood for like letting people will have experiences like I
Speaker 1: want to win, and I didn't feel the game was
Speaker 1: where I wanted to. So we brought in, We brought
Speaker 1: up you know, Ben and Joel back into the mix
Speaker 1: and cuve what Ben makes a pass? Like that bounced
Speaker 1: pass he made the Dario on the first half. Part,
Speaker 1: Like you on the sideline, are you still surprised when
Speaker 1: you see him make plays? Look that, No, he has
Speaker 1: two things going for him. Um, I feel most times
Speaker 1: I see what he sees, and because I know the plays,
Speaker 1: I know what is coming or possibly coming. And really,
Speaker 1: when you judge how they play Dario and some of
Speaker 1: our plays, the second they chase, you got him for
Speaker 1: the most part, unless the week's side is just really aggressive.
Speaker 1: And that's the first thing. I feel like, I see
Speaker 1: what he sees a lot of times, and then he's
Speaker 1: got the the strength and slash guts to throw stuff
Speaker 1: where they're rockets. Like, so he sees a few plays
Speaker 1: ahead and he's got the vision and then he can,
Speaker 1: like at six ten throw dots. He really throws passes
Speaker 1: with velocity and so a lot of times it doesn't
Speaker 1: entirely surprise me. Right, So I would be a gage
Speaker 1: where the team is. How do you feel that? I
Speaker 1: think we're trending in a correct way. You know, you're
Speaker 1: you're aware that Minnesota played last night in New York.
Speaker 1: It's part of the NBA and you have to reload.
Speaker 1: We get it. We do it all the time too. Um.
Speaker 1: I feel that when I look at our defense, and
Speaker 1: I especially look how we come out a halftimes in
Speaker 1: the last few third periods, there is a business approach
Speaker 1: there is a serious approach. There is a defensive oriented
Speaker 1: mindset that I love and respect, and I think we
Speaker 1: made a step forward today. I think we got a
Speaker 1: little bit better. I think as a team and in
Speaker 1: our minds that that's a good team. Sixers coach Brett
Speaker 1: Brown and postgame available ability after the contests as the
Speaker 1: Sixers defeat Minnesota one twenty two, one oh eight. Now
Speaker 1: forty two wins for the Sixers, twenty four of which
Speaker 1: have come here at home. They've won six in a row,
Speaker 1: Minnesota's forty two and thirty two. They had a mini
Speaker 1: two game winning streak. Snap, we'll take a break and
Speaker 1: we'll come back to Von Kibbitt and Von Gibbons. We'll
Speaker 1: pick it up from here. Impressive win for the Sixers
Speaker 1: over Minnesota for now. Tom McGuinness from the center, thanks
Speaker 1: for listening back in a moment with the Sixers postgame
Speaker 1: coverage on the Sixers radio networks, The Philadelphia has seventy
Speaker 1: Sixers postgame show in feed. I can look about of
Speaker 1: my broach free hars is gonna turn him? Get it off,
Speaker 1: Maddie Roll. The Sixers postgame show right now on ninety
Speaker 1: seven five, The Finetic not the way you would have
Speaker 1: liked to draw it up at the end, but the
Speaker 1: Sixes got it done. Nevertheless. This is the Sixes post
Speaker 1: game show Live from the Center. How though, everybody, I'm
Speaker 1: divine given Sixers pick up their six straight victory one
Speaker 1: twenty one oh eight over the visiting Minnesota Timberwolves. Their
Speaker 1: record now stands at forty two and thirty on the season,
Speaker 1: looking really good as they close things out the regular
Speaker 1: season to go ten more games remaining for the Philadelphia
Speaker 1: seventy six or six more games at home, four more
Speaker 1: on the road, but a very solid victory overall, got
Speaker 1: it done when need be here at the Center as
Speaker 1: the Stars had to come back in at the end,
Speaker 1: Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons as well as Robert Covington to
Speaker 1: close things out. But all in all, a good win,
Speaker 1: a very good win, a great one if you will,
Speaker 1: for this basketball team. A one twenty one oh eight
Speaker 1: victory for the Philadelphia seventy six is joining us again
Speaker 1: back here at the Center. You heard them all game
Speaker 1: long calling the game. Great job as always and time
Speaker 1: again it's time not the way they drew it up
Speaker 1: at the end, but good teams still find a way
Speaker 1: to do it, and it appears at the seventy Sixes
Speaker 1: are a good team picking up this win. Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: without question, that was awkward. But their reserves. I've played
Speaker 1: the Sixers reserves, no doubt about it. Aaron Brooks played well,
Speaker 1: Georgie Jank played well, Marcus George's Hunt played well. Aldridge
Speaker 1: was very physical. He was creating havoc in there, and
Speaker 1: you know, you heard what Prett Brown said that, Hey,
Speaker 1: look he just had to get his guys in there
Speaker 1: to finish the deal here. So that's gonna happen. I mean,
Speaker 1: TJ's been so good, but tonight down the stretch, those
Speaker 1: guys out playing he and his group and that's too bad.
Speaker 1: But again in the end, the Sixers won, and you know,
Speaker 1: I guess you could say they blew a big lead,
Speaker 1: but it's not the same as it was in Games
Speaker 1: Pass where they had those big leagues and they lost
Speaker 1: the game. So to have to bring Joe and you know,
Speaker 1: you don't want to do it for you don't want
Speaker 1: to do it because you don't want him coming back.
Speaker 1: You don't want him to come in there cold, you know,
Speaker 1: and being literally had his shoes off. You saw him
Speaker 1: trying to warm up. Those guys are trying to get
Speaker 1: back in and how it is they had to you know,
Speaker 1: rebreak a sweat and all that, so that's not ideal either.
Speaker 1: But nonetheless, the Sixers with a dominant third quarter. I
Speaker 1: mean again, this was a game like, okay, the five
Speaker 1: teams that they just played, you know, record wise weren't there.
Speaker 1: But you know, tonight was one of these games where
Speaker 1: it was a huge matchup. Now, I think Minnesota was fatigued,
Speaker 1: that was obvious, but in be dominated towns and Ben
Speaker 1: Simmons was unbelievable. I mean, divon you watched the game,
Speaker 1: It's like, this is gonna be a weird analogy, but
Speaker 1: it's like in third grade where you realize you're so
Speaker 1: much faster than anybody else you can't wait to get
Speaker 1: the recess and just dust them diamond again. And all
Speaker 1: the competition Ben's and he's doing against pros. He's taking
Speaker 1: the dribble and just blowing by people. Even if he
Speaker 1: doesn't take it all the way to the basket, he
Speaker 1: pushes it below the fall line that forces their defense
Speaker 1: to get back into pain. And then he just turns
Speaker 1: around because he's not really looking for a shot in
Speaker 1: that situation, he's wheeling and he's picking out JJ or
Speaker 1: Daria or cub And and Daria was wide open. You know,
Speaker 1: Minnesota had some lapses. I mean, Thiboda was an incredible
Speaker 1: defensive coach, but Dario had some wide open looks and
Speaker 1: he made three Yearly that was really big. Cove ended
Speaker 1: up hitting getting hot. Marco I thought played well. And
Speaker 1: that's the ironic part that the Sixers reserves let the
Speaker 1: game kind of slip away where the Wolves came back,
Speaker 1: but the Sixers bench was so productive early in the game.
Speaker 1: They'd outscored them like double figures to like four or
Speaker 1: five and just didn't happen late. But another dominant performance
Speaker 1: where the Sixers had this game by the end of
Speaker 1: three quarters, which is the third consecutive game that it's incredible.
Speaker 1: I know it is. And it's funny that you bring
Speaker 1: that up specifically with Ben Simmons because as we were
Speaker 1: watching it, and you're right, you're calling it, and I'm
Speaker 1: turning around looking at you, and I'm just shaking my
Speaker 1: head just because of the things that he's doing on
Speaker 1: the floor. And as you pointed out, this is a
Speaker 1: rookie in the NBA doing it and he's six ten,
Speaker 1: not supposed to be faster or as fast as some
Speaker 1: of these people that he's running by. But yet and
Speaker 1: still he still finds a way to do it, and
Speaker 1: he does it at a pace where he knows what's
Speaker 1: going on. He is in total control of the entire
Speaker 1: pace and the defense is just simply on their heels
Speaker 1: now he is. And then he placed ticked off. I
Speaker 1: love that. I love that, Like he got called for
Speaker 1: a tiki tachy foul and he just looked at like,
Speaker 1: I guess it was tigued and like he were not
Speaker 1: even getting close to being by me. He's got that ability.
Speaker 1: And then you heard the question posed in the postgame
Speaker 1: press conference about that pass. That's the type of pass
Speaker 1: that people, if they were going to work tomorrow, they'd
Speaker 1: be talking about. I mean that that is the type
Speaker 1: of play that is special. And I mentioned it. You know,
Speaker 1: like even before Benn even played, people were comparing him
Speaker 1: the magic Johnson or Lebron and Brett Brown had seen
Speaker 1: him play like in practice and whatnot and didn't want
Speaker 1: to go there. Well, first of all, some of the
Speaker 1: numbers are shaping up in that you know, he's already
Speaker 1: passed Magic Johnson and one's triple doubles. Yeah, yeah, statistical category.
Speaker 1: But that pass right there was almost a half court
Speaker 1: pass with his right hand that they were talking about.
Speaker 1: It was from this quadrant to the floor outside left
Speaker 1: and then all the way downlow right to Dario. I
Speaker 1: mean to get it through there and to write, like
Speaker 1: Brett Brown said, the heavy guts to throw it, ethic ability,
Speaker 1: the vision just dolls are. That's a special kind of
Speaker 1: play right there. And we talked about the offense Tom again,
Speaker 1: us again joining us live here at the Center on
Speaker 1: the postgame show. Tom. The offense, we spoke up defensively though,
Speaker 1: is where things are really starting to turn up for
Speaker 1: the seventy sixers at the right time of the season.
Speaker 1: Ten games to go, trying to position yourself in the postseason.
Speaker 1: They keep dominating in the third quarter where they put
Speaker 1: up thirty nine, winning by twenty in that quarter, thirty
Speaker 1: nine to nineteen. We've seen it over the last few games,
Speaker 1: way more important just because of who the opponent was today, well,
Speaker 1: without doubt, and you know, the first half kind of
Speaker 1: ended on a downer a little bit, as I talked
Speaker 1: about with that violation and Crawford making the shot. But
Speaker 1: you know, third quarters used to be an issue for
Speaker 1: the Sixers like he as early as last year. And
Speaker 1: they came out and they dominated, and you know, the
Speaker 1: defense again, you're gonna the threes are gonna come and
Speaker 1: go and whatnot. But the thing about the three pointers,
Speaker 1: you can miss like two or three in a row
Speaker 1: and then make one and you're still advancing your lead.
Speaker 1: But the defense is a constant. Indeed, they got great
Speaker 1: length and Covington. Covington was all over the place early
Speaker 1: in the game. A couple of his plays where he
Speaker 1: stole it, he gave it right back with a foul
Speaker 1: or a turnover, but his length and deflections, and he
Speaker 1: hit a block coming off from the weak side. He's
Speaker 1: really underrated, I think amongst not statistically in the NBA
Speaker 1: with the with the players and the coaches, but I
Speaker 1: think his fans. I don't know that we put enough
Speaker 1: credence to what he does with guarding the best player
Speaker 1: and the perimeter and then all of his things where
Speaker 1: he helps. But certainly the defense has been stellar throughout
Speaker 1: the year. Top five defense, it's been terrific. It's been
Speaker 1: a huge part of this and it's gonna be a
Speaker 1: major part of the playoffs because that's what you need,
Speaker 1: stops and scores, and you've got to be able to
Speaker 1: put the clamps on people. Absolutely Well, Tom, another big
Speaker 1: one coming up here at the Center on Monday against
Speaker 1: the Denver Nuggets. They're fighting for a playoffs spot as well.
Speaker 1: We'll catch up with you and have a great weekend.
Speaker 1: Thank you. Divino night Tom again us again live here
Speaker 1: on the postgame Show from the Center. Sixers victorious yet again,
Speaker 1: one twenty one oh eight. We can get used to
Speaker 1: saying that victorious yet again. They've won six in a row,
Speaker 1: beating the Minnesota Timberwolves tonight here at the Center one
Speaker 1: twenty one oh eight. On the other side, we'll discuss
Speaker 1: a little more of what happened during the game, get
Speaker 1: into a little deeper with the box score. Later on,
Speaker 1: we'll have some highlights as well. Sixers win one twenty
Speaker 1: one oh eight. I'm Divine Givens. This is the postgame
Speaker 1: Show Live from the Center. Sixers win one twenty one
Speaker 1: oh eight tonight over the visiting Minnesota Timberwolves improved their
Speaker 1: record to forty two and thirty twelve games over five
Speaker 1: hundred for the Philadelphia seventy six is an impressive outlook
Speaker 1: on how the season has gone along for the Sixers
Speaker 1: where they are now again just twelve games over five hundred.
Speaker 1: They have not done that in quite some time, and
Speaker 1: picking up a victory like this, still no playoffs. You
Speaker 1: have to wait on the Detroit Pistons to lose a
Speaker 1: game or combination of both in tonight to Detroit. Pistons
Speaker 1: are leading the Chicago Bulls as of right now in
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter one fifteen and nineties, so you'll have
Speaker 1: to wait until Monday most likely to get a spot
Speaker 1: if you will in the playoffs for the Philadelphia seventy sixes.
Speaker 1: But in terms of this win tonight over the Minnesota Timberwolves,
Speaker 1: let's get to some of the highlights. It started off
Speaker 1: in the first quarter with a very good combination overall
Speaker 1: of the team doing exactly what they do. It is
Speaker 1: just sharing the ball, passing it the way they done.
Speaker 1: Somebody had to get things going in four the Sixes
Speaker 1: in the first quarter with Dario Scharge. Simmons breaks it
Speaker 1: into the lane up top Dario Scharch Choper Gibson and
Speaker 1: that's good. Dario Scharge straightaway triple his second that ties
Speaker 1: it at eight. Dario scharge very aggressive to start things off.
Speaker 1: He had a few three pointers in the first quarter,
Speaker 1: ending up on the evening with eighteen three or six
Speaker 1: from behind the floor. That score made it eight to
Speaker 1: eight at that time. Another impressive play not too far
Speaker 1: a go from that spot, JJ Reddick with the miss
Speaker 1: and the out of bound to time out of bounds
Speaker 1: played Ben Simmons with the offensive rebounds to JJ Reddick
Speaker 1: four three, made a thirteen eleven. Sixers then decided that
Speaker 1: they wanted to make sure they let the Minnesota Timberwolves
Speaker 1: know who was better. Started making plays, making shots and
Speaker 1: putting their lead all the way up to nine points
Speaker 1: after Ben Simmons rebound and assist to Marco Bell and
Speaker 1: Nellie four three, twenty five sixteen for the Sixers, and
Speaker 1: then earsund Iliasova off the bench, very very stellar for
Speaker 1: the Sixers, back over to joel for three. The beat
Speaker 1: shot front ribbon off no almost tap ten by Wiggins
Speaker 1: and now Earshun puts in two players are there. One
Speaker 1: effort by Iliosolva and the Sixers lead by nine. Offensive
Speaker 1: rebound for Eliasova at that point and the score made
Speaker 1: it twenty nine to twenty Iliasilva on the night three
Speaker 1: offensive rebounds for defensive of course, that makes the seven
Speaker 1: total rebounds for the veteran big man. Also nine points
Speaker 1: on the evening. Justin Anderson got into the mix early
Speaker 1: as well with an and one and a made free
Speaker 1: throw to make it thirty two twenty four to one.
Speaker 1: Sixers kept it going in the third as they kept
Speaker 1: getting it going, Joel and Bead getting into the mix.
Speaker 1: There's Joel Wan the dram and beat catchers at the
Speaker 1: right elbow turns nobody there for Minnesota and a jam
Speaker 1: by e Bead his second field goal and one of
Speaker 1: the easiest baskets of the game, and emphatic dunk four
Speaker 1: and bad thirty seven to twenty nine Sixers. Emir Johnson
Speaker 1: also got a put back basket a little earlier with
Speaker 1: a pardon you hit. A great post footwork for the
Speaker 1: veteran big man not known for his offensive scoring, but
Speaker 1: he got Karl Anthony Towns in the air off of
Speaker 1: a nice spin move out like Kevin McHale, pump fake
Speaker 1: made it fifty one forty four. Things didn't go the
Speaker 1: way they thought. You had a bad turnover at the
Speaker 1: end of the first. With a few seconds to go,
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Timbwolves inbounded the ball for Jamal Crawford's basket
Speaker 1: at the end votus shot and here's Crawford with a fadeaway.
Speaker 1: Got it. Of course he got it. It's Jamal Crawford.
Speaker 1: Red Brown is chicked. He is striding, old man. He
Speaker 1: is walking perfectly toward the locker room. We are played
Speaker 1: there too as well. Because the way things went, Joel
Speaker 1: Embi was gonna take the ball out after May Minnesota basket.
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons told him no, the referee had already started
Speaker 1: the counting. You know, you only have five seconds. When
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons took his time to try to figure out
Speaker 1: where he was going with the basketball, the official had
Speaker 1: already rung him up for a turnover and again an
Speaker 1: opportunity for Jamal Crawford to make that basket. Fifty nine
Speaker 1: fifty two. That was the score after two. But in Philadelphia,
Speaker 1: seventy six is like they have over the past few games,
Speaker 1: past few weeks for that matter. Get things going in
Speaker 1: the third quarter courtesy of JJ Reddick and Ben Simmons
Speaker 1: has knocked it in the air. It goes to Joel
Speaker 1: and not a Dario back to JJ three ball left
Speaker 1: side counted. It's good time out Minnesota. The Sixers with
Speaker 1: another three. They take a fourteen point lead. That started
Speaker 1: with a tough entry pass ever resulting in the turnover
Speaker 1: by Ben Simmons. He tipped the pass defensively to allow
Speaker 1: Joeling Bad to get the steal. Then they hit JJ
Speaker 1: four that three to make it sixty six fifty two.
Speaker 1: Robert Covington nailed to three to make it seventy four
Speaker 1: fifty four, and not two far after that, the route
Speaker 1: started to be on and Joeling Bad one more time defensively,
Speaker 1: Robert Covington would steal in the past to him be
Speaker 1: four breakaway Collington with another steal to Joel. Here's a
Speaker 1: jam Bimbad. He rams it home. The Sexers are blowing
Speaker 1: out Minnesota. Oh Man, Joel and bead. He archestrates the crowd.
Speaker 1: He's jumping around with his hands up. It's a party
Speaker 1: in South Filling. The energy in the center was crazy.
Speaker 1: It was fantastic, especially after a play like that seventy
Speaker 1: nine fifty six, Joeling Bad showing off his athleticism and
Speaker 1: a different dunk if you will normally, then we see
Speaker 1: it from Himbad Daria Schartz. Later on with a driving
Speaker 1: layoup plus the foul met it eighty two to fifty eight.
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons, he had his tenth triple double on the night.
Speaker 1: Here is when it happened, and now shoots it with
Speaker 1: the right hand, almost baked it. It It gets his own
Speaker 1: miss followers that can't get it to go. He gets
Speaker 1: it one more time. Head champs and triple double. Bet
Speaker 1: Simmons rebound jamb sixers up eighty nine sixty two. Simmons
Speaker 1: had an opportunity to make a play before that dunk,
Speaker 1: missed it, got it back and was able to convert
Speaker 1: it on that very basket right there to make it
Speaker 1: ninety eight seventy one. At the end of three, the
Speaker 1: route was on the starters sat down. Marco Belinelli again
Speaker 1: slid off the bench with seventeen points. Here is another
Speaker 1: three pointer from the veteran shop shooter. Here's McConnell with
Speaker 1: a movie to the lane, back out top two. Marco
Speaker 1: Bellanelli for three got it the twelve Maine three for
Speaker 1: the sixers TJ with the dish. Marco with fourteen points.
Speaker 1: He ended up with seventeen on the night that score
Speaker 1: one oh three seventy four. After that basket for kind
Speaker 1: Cork Miles also got into the mix one oh eight
Speaker 1: eighty four. The substitution guys, the reserves for the Minnesota
Speaker 1: Mberwolves did force their way back into this game, making
Speaker 1: Brett Brown decide to call on yet again Ben Simmons,
Speaker 1: Joel and Beat and Robert Covington, their starters who were
Speaker 1: already rested. Joel and Beat no shoes laying on the
Speaker 1: floor like he normally has late in the game when
Speaker 1: the game is out of hand, he had to put
Speaker 1: his shoes back on. Robert Covington also had to tie
Speaker 1: his tighter to get back out there and put his
Speaker 1: shooting sleeves on. As the Sixers wound up with this
Speaker 1: win one twenty one oh eight, their sixth straight win
Speaker 1: for this basketball team. And again it's coming yet at
Speaker 1: the right time. Ten games to go, so they want
Speaker 1: to make sure they get as many victories as possible,
Speaker 1: and they're playing some of the best basketball of the
Speaker 1: season as they looked to for this particular group their
Speaker 1: first appearance in the NBA postseason. So right now again
Speaker 1: they're sitting in the fourth spot in the Eastern Conference
Speaker 1: as a lot of teams are still going on, but
Speaker 1: most importantly when it comes to seating and just getting
Speaker 1: in there all together, you have to now wait until Monday,
Speaker 1: since the Detroit Pistons took care of the Chicago Bulls tonight.
Speaker 1: But most importantly, the Sixers did their job, picking up
Speaker 1: their forty second win forty two and thirty on the year,
Speaker 1: one one oh eight over the Minnesota Timberwolves. A quick
Speaker 1: dive into the stats before we hand things over to
Speaker 1: Joe Stazac. On nine seventy five, the fanatic forty two
Speaker 1: of eighty eight from the field for forty seven point
Speaker 1: seven percent, a field goal percentage thirteen of thirty seven
Speaker 1: from behind the ark for thirty five percent, a big discrepancy. There,
Speaker 1: a big advantage for the Sixers making seven more three
Speaker 1: pointers than the Minnesota Timberwolves. From the free throw line.
Speaker 1: Very aggressive game, very physical game, both teams getting to
Speaker 1: the free throw line thirty plus times twenty three for
Speaker 1: thirty six four the Sixers twenty eight to thirty eight
Speaker 1: four the Minnesota Timberwolves. But the one stat that we
Speaker 1: always like to bring up during the post game show
Speaker 1: the assists. Thirty three assists on forty two May baskets
Speaker 1: for the Philadelphia seventy Sixers. Sharing the basketball like we
Speaker 1: always talk about, leading to better shot opportunities, leading to
Speaker 1: made baskets, and of course leading to assist totals with
Speaker 1: thirty three with your leader having thirteen and Ben Simmons
Speaker 1: thirteen assists on the night, very unselfish player as we know,
Speaker 1: and the way he's been playing, playing under control, helping
Speaker 1: this team win has been very good. And it doesn't
Speaker 1: hurt five of eight from the free throw line, but
Speaker 1: having to make three or four down the stretch when
Speaker 1: he had to return into the game to help close
Speaker 1: things out for the Sixers and the head coach, Brett Brown,
Speaker 1: maybe that's something that we can lean on as the
Speaker 1: things get down the stretch in the final stretch of
Speaker 1: the regular season and going into the postseason where you
Speaker 1: can count on Ben Simmons maybe making those free throws
Speaker 1: that we see him make towards the end of this
Speaker 1: game tonight, leading the Sixers and scoring tonight for the winners.
Speaker 1: Nineteen points for Joel Embiid, also contributing six rebounds, eighteen
Speaker 1: for Charge, fifteen for Simmons, as we talked about, seventeen
Speaker 1: for Marco Bell Andelli eleven for Robert Covington, who was
Speaker 1: very active defensively, only eight for JJ Reddick three of
Speaker 1: eleven from the floor. He's done more than enough where
Speaker 1: he can have an off night. He simply bounce back
Speaker 1: to the privul guys, So you know he'll bounce back
Speaker 1: at some point over the last few games of the
Speaker 1: season and contribute in any way he can for this
Speaker 1: basketball team. One twenty one oh eight win for the
Speaker 1: Sixers over the Minnesota Timberwolves. They're back at it on
Speaker 1: Monday here at the Center hosting the Denver Nuggets. We'll
Speaker 1: see how that one goes in terms of playoff positioning.
Speaker 1: If they win, they secure a playoff spot. In Denver Nuggets,
Speaker 1: they're trying to find their way as well, so you
Speaker 1: know you're gonna get the best from that Western Conference
Speaker 1: team like the Denver Nuggets. So again, one twenty one
Speaker 1: oh eight win over the Timberwolves. A lot of people
Speaker 1: were thanks starting back here at the Center, Marty Dickerson
Speaker 1: making sure we stay on the air live and local.
Speaker 1: Back at the studio is always the great Carnemole and

Speaker 1: And we back on Monday as a Philadelphia seventy Sixers
Speaker 1: forty two wins. Philadelphia seventy six is host to Denver Nuggets.
Speaker 1: For Tom Againis Marty Dickinson called the Moley Allen Yates.
Speaker 1: I'm Devine gives. This has been the postgame show on
Speaker 1: the Sixers Radio network. Following the Sixers win, Tom Aginnis
Speaker 1: had a chance to catch up with one of the
Speaker 1: players afterwards. Yeah, we are going to be joined by
Speaker 1: Dario Sharich, just nice enough to make his way out
Speaker 1: of the locker room every turn to the floor just
Speaker 1: for the purposes of visiting with us. Dario, thank you
Speaker 1: so much for coming back out. We appreciate it. Great win.
Speaker 1: It was a little shaky down the stretch, but part
Speaker 1: of it was the way you shot the ball early
Speaker 1: in the game, three threes in the first That had
Speaker 1: to feel good, getting those good looks and knocking him
Speaker 1: down in the opening part of the game. Yes, I
Speaker 1: got that. I opened the very very good the game
Speaker 1: I got, I got a couple of threes. Know, I
Speaker 1: got one drive. You know, it was a pretty nice
Speaker 1: game for me in the beginning. But like everything else,
Speaker 1: you know, my teammates, all this team, you know, it's unbelieable,
Speaker 1: you know, to be the team, to be the team
Speaker 1: like Minnesota in almost in just three quarters is like unbelievable.
Speaker 1: And I think we have a like enough enough credit
Speaker 1: to say, you know, we already for playoff, and I
Speaker 1: know all teams on East a little bit scared of us. Well,
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. You mentioned three quarters. That third
Speaker 1: quarter was key. They had nineteen points, they were three
Speaker 1: of sixteen, and you guys blew the game wide open
Speaker 1: after halftime. Yes, uh, you know previously before you know,
Speaker 1: we got the couple couple of games, we got the problem.
Speaker 1: You know, the third quarter we were like up and
Speaker 1: up and down. But now you know, we understand how
Speaker 1: to plague with each other. We understand what coaches that
Speaker 1: told us all the time. We need to be focused
Speaker 1: for every minute, every second because we need to be
Speaker 1: ready and prepare for the playoff, and like that can
Speaker 1: become on the court after after hard time and be
