Speaker 4: You're still Philadelphia. Seventy six Ers postgame show presented by
Speaker 4: Parks Casino.
Speaker 2: Fact Oh Baby Love pod job to beat on the
Speaker 2: back done. I guess weapony I Nepowers.
Speaker 4: Slabs of the seventy six Ers postgame show right now
Speaker 4: on ninety seven to five the Fanatic.
Speaker 2: We're back. The Sixers fall by twelve. Final tally tonight,
Speaker 2: New York one hundred and eleven the Sixers ninety nine.
Speaker 2: And as I was saying throughout the game, the Sixers
Speaker 2: twenty they were on a pace to score one hundred,
Speaker 2: and they fell just shy twenty five in the first,
Speaker 2: second and third, and in the end they had twenty
Speaker 2: four points in the fourth and New York wins one
Speaker 2: to eleven, ninety nine. Our postgame coverage is brought to
Speaker 2: you by Parks Casino. Seemed as though the Sixers were
Speaker 2: hanging around to give themselves a chance. They just did
Speaker 2: not have that one segment where they could push ahead
Speaker 2: and you know, tie it and take the lead, and
Speaker 2: the Knicks were just in control. And again we're going
Speaker 2: to be joined by Matt Murphy. The Knicks had twelve
Speaker 2: points in transition. So you're like, well, wait, that's not
Speaker 2: a chart topping figure. But I thought the way that
Speaker 2: Hart pushed it, and even town it's made a couple
Speaker 2: of long down court heaves. They really and again, defensive
Speaker 2: transition has been a key for the city us Nick
Speaker 2: nurse part of the game. That's almost every single night
Speaker 2: he talks about that. But I thought the Knicks, you know,
Speaker 2: we're trying to hurry the ball down the court, and
Speaker 2: that wasn't even with and beat. You can see where
Speaker 2: they might want to try that within b just because
Speaker 2: changing ends and not being in peak physical condition in
Speaker 2: that it was his first game. You can see where
Speaker 2: that might have been the strategy. But they they pushed
Speaker 2: it down there and they were solid. So New York
Speaker 2: wins by twelve and Nat Murphy here in the booth
Speaker 2: will pick up our postgame coverage. But they were solid
Speaker 2: and they were the winners tonight. Speaking of the Knicks
Speaker 2: over the Sixers in front of a crowd of just
Speaker 2: under twenty thousand fans, they go one up in the Cup.
Speaker 3: Yeah, seventy six Ers. Cup Nights are presented by Chick
Speaker 3: fil A. Our postgame coverage is presented by Parks Casino.
Speaker 3: One eleven ninety nine Knicks. In the first NBA Cup
Speaker 3: game for both of these teams in East Group A,
Speaker 3: so there's some added significance to the loss for the
Speaker 3: seventy six Ers. You'll play the other three, well, you'll
Speaker 3: play four games you'll play either two at home and
Speaker 3: two on the road, so every game really matters. Now
Speaker 3: your fate is somewhat in the hands of maybe like
Speaker 3: an Orlando Magic team that just went up one to
Speaker 3: zero in the pool against Charlotte. Can they beat the
Speaker 3: Knicks and then you have to beat Orlando that type
Speaker 3: of thing. There is a wild card spot in each conference,
Speaker 3: but just an added layer there to a regular season loss.
Speaker 3: These games count towards the regular season record. So the
Speaker 3: Sixers are two and eight, the Knicks get to five
Speaker 3: hundred at five and five. But tom to your point,
Speaker 3: Knicks came in when we talk about pace possessions their
Speaker 3: last thirtieth in pace in the NBA.
Speaker 5: But you figured with Embiid.
Speaker 3: Coming back, and that was something that coach Nurse identified
Speaker 3: before the game, like as an area where he'd be
Speaker 3: watching Embiid, who Joel Embiid in his first game of
Speaker 3: the season, ends with thirteen points in twenty six plus
Speaker 3: minutes in this game, two for eleven, shooting eight for
Speaker 3: eight at the line. That was all in the first half,
Speaker 3: five assists for him. Paul George had a great game
Speaker 3: twenty nine points, seven for eleven from three with ten
Speaker 3: rebounds and three steals. What did you see from Embiid
Speaker 3: and George?
Speaker 2: Well, first, Paul, George, that that's to me is his
Speaker 2: best game as a sixer. Twenty nine and ten, seven
Speaker 2: of eleven from three. One of them was a bank three.
Speaker 2: But as the Sixers will take it, he was terrific.
Speaker 2: He played thirty two minutes and Joelle, like I said,
Speaker 2: he just did not seem in sync. A little bit
Speaker 2: to be expected in terms of, you know, his debut,
Speaker 2: but normally he's so aggressive and he just off the dribble.
Speaker 2: You know, he owned the nail nail when he's on,
Speaker 2: he owns the nail area right, like just the face
Speaker 2: up where he can wheel and deal and find guys
Speaker 2: seeing over the top. And he took one shot from
Speaker 2: that area and it was blocked. And Town's got the
Speaker 2: better of him tonight, There's no doubt about it. Town's
Speaker 2: felt like early on Joel was guarding them, you know,
Speaker 2: playing off him a little bit to start the game.
Speaker 2: Bank two quick threes from the top by Towns, and
Speaker 2: you know, like for Joel's it's understood. He just he
Speaker 2: was two of eleven and of those eleven shots, five
Speaker 2: were threes and he got foul shots, you know, but
Speaker 2: it's obviously it's got to be tough. As coach said
Speaker 2: prior to the game, you know, it's not just Joelle's
Speaker 2: first game. It's the fact that everybody else has played
Speaker 2: a preseason, they've had a training camp, and they've played
Speaker 2: nine or ten games. So he's joining the fray, you know,
Speaker 2: not just himself, but he's going up against everybody else
Speaker 2: who's totally getting into a rhythm. So tough game for.
Speaker 5: Embeid and we're waiting for Maxi too.
Speaker 2: Yeah. One of the things that was a little scary
Speaker 2: is that at halftime Brunts had had like four points
Speaker 2: and they were still winning, and then he sprains his
Speaker 2: ankle and comes back and was you know, not like
Speaker 2: the same that you expect, like the way he looked
Speaker 2: in the playoffs. But he still ended up with eighteen
Speaker 2: points and definitely, you know, played in some duress with
Speaker 2: the ankle, but he was good.
Speaker 5: They look really good.
Speaker 2: They were better tonight.
Speaker 3: Matt Murphy and Tom mcguinnis on our Parks Casino postgame
Speaker 3: show after one eleven ninety nine loss for the Sixers
Speaker 3: to the Knicks here in Philadelphia, we await head coaches
Speaker 3: head coach Nick Nurse's postgame press conference, and I brought
Speaker 3: up no MAXI obviously he'd love to have him. He's
Speaker 3: he's got the hamstring injury. It's such a good chemistry
Speaker 3: with Embiid that's developed over the years. We saw a
Speaker 3: little glimpse with Embiid and Jared McCain of some chemistry
Speaker 3: towards the end of the third quarter. How did you
Speaker 3: interpret that sequence of McCain coming on and Embiid pumping
Speaker 3: up the crowd.
Speaker 2: Here, Well, that was like the one chance our Morgan
Speaker 2: and Morgan moment of the game where the Sixers seemingly had,
Speaker 2: you know, a little bit of momentum, they had the
Speaker 2: crowd one point game yep. And then and but see
Speaker 2: that's where the Sixes, These little phases have costed a
Speaker 2: six Ers in so many different games. Coach cited three
Speaker 2: and that was before uh, you know, the Lakers game,
Speaker 2: and there was a moment or two in that game
Speaker 2: where they had separation that led them to the win.
Speaker 2: Speaking of the Lakers.
Speaker 3: And Lakers, it was sixty sixty at one point. Clippers
Speaker 3: game before that was sixty four to sixty two.
Speaker 2: And then the Lakers game as I alluded to, you know,
Speaker 2: was sixty eight sixty just before halftime, and there was
Speaker 2: that type of run here. I thought there was two segments.
Speaker 2: One was after I'm sorry, but the ridiculous reversal Towns
Speaker 2: smacks two Sixers players and they call a foul on
Speaker 2: Kelly Ubra and then the baseline drive by Yabusele, you know,
Speaker 2: got taken by ogb on an Obi. That was huge.
Speaker 2: That was just a straight blowby right in front of
Speaker 2: the Sixers bench and coach Nurse took time out. You know,
Speaker 2: those are breakdowns, right and that that was revealing right there,
Speaker 2: like because Yabuselets played so well, but not on that
Speaker 2: play and not particularly in this game. He ended up
Speaker 2: taking gershun shot one of seven. But the point about Jared,
Speaker 2: to answer your inquiry, like, you know, he's he's first
Speaker 2: guard off the bench minutes and he's become you know,
Speaker 2: I don't want to say it, but in the absence
Speaker 2: of Max, he go to guys not the right way,
Speaker 2: but everybody feels comfortable throwing him the ball. And because
Speaker 2: he can get his shot off, he's a guy that
Speaker 2: can go out and create some offense. And he did
Speaker 2: it tonight with back to back twenty point games. He
Speaker 2: had twenty three tonight.
Speaker 3: You touched on Cleveland towards the end of the game
Speaker 3: action tonight. That's this is a little bit of a
Speaker 3: preview now because it's a back to back for both
Speaker 3: of these teams, and for the Sixers, it's the home
Speaker 3: game against the twelve and zero Cleveland Cavaliers. They are
Speaker 3: first in offense, ninth in defense. But their offense one
Speaker 3: hundred and twenty two plus points per game, that's first,
Speaker 3: fifty two percent shooting forty one point three percent from three.
Speaker 3: And they're coming here, They're here to play the Sixers. Yeah,
Speaker 3: tomorrow night.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: No, They're having a tremendous start. You know, it's different,
Speaker 2: a different voice, and sometimes when their perspective change is
Speaker 2: a little bit. Kenny Atkinson is a second crack at
Speaker 2: it for him. He had an extensive post game chat
Speaker 2: yesterday how much he's grown as a coach since his
Speaker 2: time in Brooklyn, with both international coaching and with the Warriors,
Speaker 2: and he you know, he's always been a good coach.
Speaker 2: So and then Donovan Mitchell another great year with Garland
Speaker 2: and the two young bigs and Allen and Mobley, and
Speaker 2: then they got nice pieces. They went out and got
Speaker 2: Strus his second year. Now George Niang is helped out.
Speaker 2: I mean, they got a really full, good team. And
Speaker 2: it's another when you talk about Boston and Indiana, the Knicks,
Speaker 2: the Cleveland Cavalier, the East stacked, and the Sixers trying
Speaker 2: to catch up again, trying to get their players healthy
Speaker 2: and trying to, you know, see if they can't string
Speaker 2: together some solid performances. And you know, tomorrow night difficult
Speaker 2: task back to back, as you say, whereas Cleveland's rested rolling,
Speaker 2: they got some things to work on. They had to
Speaker 2: come back and beat the Bulls, but it's gonna be
Speaker 2: a tough challenge to be sure.
Speaker 3: Sixers calves another good Eastern Conference battle tomorrow. Tom mc ginnis,
Speaker 3: thank you, sir.
Speaker 2: Goodnight.
Speaker 3: One eleven ninety nine. The Knicks beat the Sixers tonight.
Speaker 3: Six Ers are two and eight, the Knicks are five
Speaker 3: and five. We will try for coach Nurse on the
Speaker 3: other side, but we'll definitely have a recap of this
Speaker 3: one with the key stats and the audio highlights. This
Speaker 3: is the seventy six Ers postgame show presented by Parks Casino.
Speaker 3: It's the Parks Casino postgame show after seventy six Ers
Speaker 3: Knicks in Philadelphia final score New York one eleven, Philadelphia
Speaker 3: ninety nine on the Blue court for the Emirates NBA
Speaker 3: Cup with the Gold Cup trophy at mid court beneath
Speaker 3: the red seven six. Matt Murphy back with you. The
Speaker 3: next time we'll see this court will be Friday, the
Speaker 3: twenty second, against Brooklyn. In between then they have Cleveland
Speaker 3: tomorrow night, and then the Friday road game in Orlando
Speaker 3: is part of the Cup as well, and then Miami
Speaker 3: and Memphi at home on the eighteenth and the twentieth,
Speaker 3: not part of the tournament. Before that Brooklyn game, but
Speaker 3: again one eleven ninety nine, the Knicks get to five
Speaker 3: and five the Sixers two and eight. After tonight, the
Speaker 3: leading scorer in the game was Paul George with twenty
Speaker 3: nine points on ten of nineteen, shooting seven for eleven
Speaker 3: from three. He added ten rebounds as well two free
Speaker 3: throws to get to twenty nine ten rebounds to his
Speaker 3: game high points total with three steals and a block
Speaker 3: in thirty two minutes. Joel Embiid and his season debut,
Speaker 3: finishes with thirteen points, eight coming at the line eight
Speaker 3: for eight, three rebounds, five assists in twenty six minutes
Speaker 3: and twenty five seconds as he works his way back
Speaker 3: into the lineup. Caleb Martin with seventeen for the Sixers.
Speaker 3: Jared McCain had twenty three off the bench, second to
Speaker 3: Paul George's twenty nine on the team side. In the game, side,
Speaker 3: og ananobe twenty four for the Knicks to lead them
Speaker 3: twenty one from Karl Anthony Towns with a game high
Speaker 3: thirteen rebounds. Triple double for Josh Hart fourteen points, twelve rebounds,
Speaker 3: ten assists, the most assists for any player in the game.
Speaker 3: Our stat of the game is going back to the
Speaker 3: note about Jared McCain, the Sixers rookie courtesy of at
Speaker 3: Sixers Stats. It was his second consecutive twenty point game
Speaker 3: after the career high twenty seven here on Sunday again Charlotte.
Speaker 3: He is the first rookie with multiple twenty point games
Speaker 3: this season, so he breaks away from a pack of
Speaker 3: five other rookies, but it is in a defeat to
Speaker 3: the Knicks, as the Knicks out scored the Sixers thirty
Speaker 3: three to twenty four in the fourth quarter. In the game,
Speaker 3: they outscored them in the paint points in the paint
Speaker 3: Nicks fifty four, Sixers thirty. It was close going to
Speaker 3: the fourth. In fact, it was a one possession game.
Speaker 3: And we'll get into the audio lights in a moment.
Speaker 3: Seventy eight to seventy five. New York led after three
Speaker 3: quarters here so with mb back joining Paul George, still
Speaker 3: no Tyrese Maxi though so not whole. The Sixers were
Speaker 3: within three heading to the fourth quarter. Neither team really
Speaker 3: shot it well from three. And we'll hear what Sixers
Speaker 3: coach Nick Nurse has to say about this loss.
Speaker 6: Uh, you know, certainly rusty right, and both rusty a
Speaker 6: little bit and conditioning. I think showed up fairly early.
Speaker 6: I've seen him kind of play through that before, you know,
Speaker 6: kind of respond in the second half after being on
Speaker 6: a layoff a little bit. Seemed to do it a
Speaker 6: little bit. But then I thought he got a little
Speaker 6: tired again, uh in the fourth, but again probably to
Speaker 6: be expected. I thought he played with some pretty good
Speaker 6: competitive spirit, you know, for what he could do out there. Yeah,
Speaker 6: that's it.
Speaker 2: Tomorrow.
Speaker 6: Yeah, on Joel and Paul, both of them, we're not
Speaker 6: we're not sure at this time. They're gonna check him
Speaker 6: out here. They're they're gonna check him out in the morning,
Speaker 6: just to see where they're at. And we'll try to
Speaker 6: update you as soon as we can on that.
Speaker 5: Obviously the best game for you guys.
Speaker 3: Just what did you see his performance tonight that maybe
Speaker 3: unlocked for him a little better?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean he did a good job. I thought
Speaker 6: our guys did a good job of freeing him up
Speaker 6: some for some looks, you know, some of the similar
Speaker 6: looks he's been getting off some of the similar sets
Speaker 6: and and you know, obviously made him tonight. That always helps,
Speaker 6: and I think he got a burst of energy from that.
Speaker 6: He kind of got going early, was able to continue
Speaker 6: to look. He made one or two really tough ones, right,
Speaker 6: But other than that, I think he did a good
Speaker 6: job at creating He either he did or we did
Speaker 6: some space for him to get some good looks. But yeah,
Speaker 6: I thought he looked really confident in my scorer in
Speaker 6: the ball tonight, h M.
Speaker 5: With his ability to get into the game's mind.
Speaker 6: Yeah, kN the same thing he's been showing us, right,
Speaker 6: I mean, he's he just continues to be a real,
Speaker 6: real bright spot threat from three, which we obviously need
Speaker 6: offense creation on his own, which we obviously need, and
Speaker 6: he you know, he competes, and he competes. He's not
Speaker 6: afraid out there, and he's he's been playing really well,
Speaker 6: really really big. Bright Spot.
Speaker 1: Guys were kind.
Speaker 3: Of like you guys are kind of right there in
Speaker 3: the fourth and then they went on that run and
Speaker 3: that was that was kind of you.
Speaker 5: Know what kind of went wrong?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, listen, I gotta I gotta go back
Speaker 6: and look, I just I do remember a kind of
Speaker 6: a wide open McCain eight footer and a wide open
Speaker 6: fourteen footer from and then a wide open three from you.
Speaker 5: We didn't make any.
Speaker 6: Of them, right that that was. That doesn't that doesn't help.
Speaker 6: I mean, we created really good shots and and uh
Speaker 6: gave up a little bit in transition. I thought we
Speaker 6: I thought we we we gave up some drives to
Speaker 6: the to the rim that we were we were kind
Speaker 6: of getting to in the first half and you know,
Speaker 6: get you know, getting him out of there, and we
Speaker 6: just we just weren't quite getting to the help on
Speaker 6: those or probably shouldn't have been up getting beat that
Speaker 6: high up on the floor, right, It should have been
Speaker 6: a little bit more containment but we were, you know,
Speaker 6: trying to play really hard, make a play, and we're
Speaker 6: getting beat at thirty feet and here comes the bruntson
Speaker 6: downhill and we just weren't. We just weren't quite getting
Speaker 6: there to the help as we we were in the
Speaker 6: first half. A little bit maybe a fatigue, to be honest,
Speaker 6: but just and also awareness that was probably it.
Speaker 4: That's okay.
Speaker 5: Would all seem a little bit more comfortable.
Speaker 2: I guess using his body and moving more on defense
Speaker 2: than he did on offense.
Speaker 1: I guess what he attribute that too.
Speaker 6: Yeah, he did a pretty good job out there. You know,
Speaker 6: we we did change some coverages. I mean, Kat dotted
Speaker 6: us for two early threes on the picking pops and
Speaker 6: kind of said, let's let's we don't want to watch.
Speaker 6: We don't want to watch that much anymore. So we
Speaker 6: started changing some coverages. Was put Joel on some into
Speaker 6: some switching or kind of blitzing situations to try to
Speaker 6: try to shape that covering jump a little bit. But yeah,
Speaker 6: he jumped out there like like he was gonna guard
Speaker 6: and moved moved pretty well. Yeah, what do you anticipate
Speaker 6: he'll get back quickest once he starts playing more regularly well, yeah, oh,
Speaker 6: I just think just I mean, you know, when he's
Speaker 6: when he's when he's playing, well, he's kind of got
Speaker 6: command of the game at the offensive end, right, He's
Speaker 6: either he's either creating good shots for himself or creating
Speaker 6: a lot of defensive schemes against him, which is creating
Speaker 6: much easier shots for our guys.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 6: I think that's part of rhythm, that's part of conditioning,
Speaker 6: all that kind of stuff. You know, he's a great
Speaker 6: shooter that that that'll come back too.
Speaker 2: I think.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it seems like tonight you guys had some struggles
Speaker 1: passing the ball, whether it was throwing a crosscord pass
Speaker 1: that got picked off or missing a few open looks inside.
Speaker 1: Just did you notice that, and like, what would you
Speaker 1: attribute to some rough passing?
Speaker 6: Well, I think, you know, it's a little bit of
Speaker 6: a theme. I don't think we've passed it great this year.
Speaker 6: We're certainly much at this point. We've been a lot
Speaker 6: more high turnover than we were a year ago. Right,
Speaker 6: But again, there's a lot of new guys out there,
Speaker 6: and you know a lot of times you have the
Speaker 6: ball on Tyres Joel's hands and they're you know, they're
Speaker 6: gonna they're gonna command it and take care of it.
Speaker 6: We've got a lot of different guys trying to handle
Speaker 6: the ball and make plays and and but I hear you,
Speaker 6: it would be nice if we would get a little
Speaker 6: bit more on target, right, and again, give Nixon, give
Speaker 6: the Knicks some credit to I mean, they they chase
Speaker 6: your heart and they got length. You know, they got
Speaker 6: some length, and they're they're they're tipping some of those
Speaker 6: because of their good defense.
Speaker 1: Get back in one of how much how much more
Speaker 1: confidently about things starting.
Speaker 5: To go back your way.
Speaker 2: Eventually and starting.
Speaker 6: Yeah, No, I feel pretty good about it. I mean
Speaker 6: I think there was Again it's it's certainly not not
Speaker 6: fun to lose that game. But I thought there was
Speaker 6: some really great segments today both ends of the floor, right,
Speaker 6: And I think again, we need we need some more connectivity,
Speaker 6: and we're not gonna get that till we get some
Speaker 6: minutes together out there, right, But I think there was
Speaker 6: certainly some flashes of really good play it at both ends.
Speaker 4: Yeah, did you get.
Speaker 3: A feel for how your pieces, your complimentary pieces are kind.
Speaker 2: Of I'm getting there.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm getting there. I think we're still I think
Speaker 6: we're still, you know looking at it. I mean one
Speaker 6: of the I told the TNT people before the game,
Speaker 6: one of the good things is we are getting a
Speaker 6: really good look at some of these other guys. We're
Speaker 6: getting an in depth, a lot of minute heavy minute look,
Speaker 6: and that can only be good as we figure out
Speaker 6: how to piece it together.
Speaker 3: Sixers coach Nick Nurse on the Parks Casino post game
Speaker 3: show after a one eleven ninety nine loss to the
Speaker 3: Knicks in the NBA Cup. It was a seventy six
Speaker 3: Ers Cup night here in Philadelphia, presented by Chick File
Speaker 3: elsewhere around the league. We talked about how Orlando in
Speaker 3: the group. We'll get to the highlights here in a second.
Speaker 3: As this one played out. The Orlando win was one
Speaker 3: fourteen eighty nine over Charlotte. But there were some crazy
Speaker 3: games in the NBA. Atlanta upset Boston one seventeen one sixteen,
Speaker 3: and that Miami Detroit game we were talking about. Not
Speaker 3: only did Detroit tye it with a second left on
Speaker 3: an Ali yup to local guy Jalen Duran, but then
Speaker 3: at tied at one twenty one, Miami tried to call
Speaker 3: a time out. Didn't have any technical foul as what
Speaker 3: won Detroit that game in overtime. In they're in a
Speaker 3: different group in the East. But the Knicks get the
Speaker 3: Sixers here tonight in Philadelphia. Nick Nurse's postgame comments there
Speaker 3: Talk credited the Knicks tonight obviously, and og Annobi led
Speaker 3: them with twenty four. This new Knicks starting lineup that
Speaker 3: features Michal Bridges Karl Anthony Towns. It was Ananobe with
Speaker 3: twenty four, Towns with twenty one, Brunson with eighteen, fourteen
Speaker 3: of which were after halftime, and then fourteen on the
Speaker 3: number for Josh Hart and McHale Bridges. So Miles McBride
Speaker 3: added fifteen off the bench the top six for the
Speaker 3: New York Knicks. But let's hear how this game sounded,
Speaker 3: as called by Tom McGinnis, the Sixers and the Knicks
Speaker 3: in South Philly, the blue court down for the NBA Cup.
Speaker 3: Doctor j was in the house, Alan Iverson was in
Speaker 3: the house, among others, and you actually heard coach Nick
Speaker 3: Nurse talk about Carl Anthony Towns dot it dotting them
Speaker 3: for a couple of early threes.
Speaker 2: Here's the second hard to Towns. Towns will try another three,
Speaker 2: and that too is on the money.
Speaker 3: The Sixers scored the first basket with Paul George, who
Speaker 3: had eleven in the first quarter. He ends up as
Speaker 3: the game high scorer in this one, and he was
Speaker 3: really shooting the ball well from beyond the arc like
Speaker 3: he did here.
Speaker 2: Paul George from the top for three and that's good
Speaker 2: five in a row.
Speaker 3: Paul George and seven for eleven from three in this game.
Speaker 3: A career thirty eight percent three point shooter, but he's
Speaker 3: coming off a career high season from beyond the ark
Speaker 3: forty one point three percent for George from three last
Speaker 3: season with the Clippers. Twenty nine points, ten rebounds for
Speaker 3: him with the three steals, ten of nineteen shooting overall
Speaker 3: with the seven for eleven from three point range, this
Speaker 3: was a twenty seven to twenty five game after one,
Speaker 3: despite the Knicks going up by nine points at one
Speaker 3: point in the first quarter. They would do that multiple
Speaker 3: times in the first half, including the second, but the
Speaker 3: Sixers kept in it late first half. It was Josh
Speaker 3: Hart who always seems to have the Sixers number deep
Speaker 3: on the left wing, not a three, but he beats
Speaker 3: the buzzer either way.
Speaker 2: Brunson inbounding, Brunson looking all the way out top Heart
Speaker 2: catches triples on lowry step back loom two. It's good
Speaker 2: he made it and that's gonna cow. His feet were
Speaker 2: straddling the three point arc and josh Hart with it
Speaker 2: contested two.
Speaker 3: On a night that Villanova loses to Saint Joe's, the
Speaker 3: Villanova Nicks minus Dante DiVincenzo, now get a triple double
Speaker 3: from Josh Hart fourteen points, twelve rebounds, and a game
Speaker 3: high ten assist. It's the seventh triple double of his career.
Speaker 3: The first six were all last season. One was against
Speaker 3: the Sixers, So it's the second triple double for Josh
Speaker 3: Hart against Philadelphia in his career and the Knicks. We're
Speaker 3: up fifty four p fifty at halftime in what was
Speaker 3: Joel Embiid's season.
Speaker 5: Debut for the Sixers.
