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 four game Western Conference road trip again with
Speaker 1: a dramatic game last Saturday in Portland. It ended tonight
Speaker 1: with a dramatic game in Denver. Both games decided in
Speaker 1: the final seconds, but the seventy Sixers on the wrong
Speaker 1: side of the result. In the Mile High City, they
Speaker 1: lose to the Nuggets one hundred ninety seven at Nicola
Speaker 1: Yoki hitting a desperation jump shot from the elbow with
Speaker 1: two point two seconds to go, enough to get Denver
Speaker 1: over the hump. They outscored the Sixers thirty five to
Speaker 1: thirteen in the fourth and final quarter. I'm Brian Seltzer
Speaker 1: and this is Brett Brown and credit you know, we
Speaker 1: weren't able to find a way to win on the road.
Speaker 1: They were tough at home and they made some shots.
Speaker 1: Did you think that fatigue played a factor down the stretch?
Speaker 1: Just being here at last road or game of the
Speaker 1: road now right, I know you didn't go with Mitis today.
Speaker 1: Can just say what I thought we needed? Uh? You know,
Speaker 1: I wanted to see what was going on with Tray.
Speaker 1: I really wanted to give him an opportunity. And Firkon
Speaker 1: has been playing well, James has been playing well. You know,
Speaker 1: sometimes rookies, you know, go through a little bit of
Speaker 1: a patch, and you know, my intention was to try
Speaker 1: to get him in in the UH in the second half,
Speaker 1: and the guys were playing well, and so we rode
Speaker 1: that out. Two little point guards I thought did good
Speaker 1: and Howell and and Uh and Trey and he sort
Speaker 1: of caught the brunt of of that. What it just
Speaker 1: seems like early on did center matchup, Like both of
Speaker 1: them got into foultro what they weren't really on the floor.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about Joel and and and joking. But then
Speaker 1: it seems like in the fourth quarter they both came
Speaker 1: alive and and did great things for the teams. I
Speaker 1: think Jill Kitchen was was was really you know, exceptional.
Speaker 1: We're we're growing Joel's fitness base and you know, trying
Speaker 1: to continually move that forward where he can beat Joel Embiid.
Speaker 1: And you know, tonight you can see that you get
Speaker 1: some work to do. And I think that he fought
Speaker 1: his his his heart out. I think that you know,
Speaker 1: when we needed him most times he was there, and
Speaker 1: we're going to continue to just get him as healthy
Speaker 1: as we can and help him, help put him in
Speaker 1: a position where he can beat Joel Embiid. This was
Speaker 1: the first this was the first game that Trey Burke
Speaker 1: got some run tonight. What did you make of his play?
Speaker 1: I thought he was great. I thought he provided a spark.
Speaker 1: He's a water bug. He plays with a pace, is
Speaker 1: a toughness that I think you know all teams need,
Speaker 1: and I thought he was excellent. Seventy Sixers head coach
Speaker 1: Brett Brown found him a tough loss for the seventy
Speaker 1: six Ers tonight one ninety seven, in the final game
Speaker 1: of their four game road trip that began eight days
Speaker 1: ago in Portland. Seventy Sixers man, they seem to be
Speaker 1: in a really good spot tonight, at one point, leading
Speaker 1: by as much as twenty one points. The bench, led
Speaker 1: by his Brett Brown said, Trey Burke was terrific thirty
Speaker 1: seven points from the bench unit for the seventy sixers.
Speaker 1: Burke he was strong with five points plus ten in
Speaker 1: seventeen minutes played. Kyle O'Quinn gave a spark for Concork
Speaker 1: mos as well. Joel Embie did come on strong down
Speaker 1: the stretch. He finished with nineteen points fifteen rebounds, to
Speaker 1: Bias Harris with thirteen points and ten boards. Will Nato,
Speaker 1: in a starting role for Ben Simons night with thirteen
Speaker 1: points and six assists. But Nicola Yokich, you know, he
Speaker 1: had a really kind of disjointed game offensively for the
Speaker 1: majority of the evening. But in the fourth quarter, the
Speaker 1: All Star First Team All NBA Big Man, he shined.
Speaker 1: He scored sixteen of his twenty six in the fourth quarter,
Speaker 1: and of course he had the desperation game winning shot
Speaker 1: with two point two seconds to go. I'm looking forward
Speaker 1: to talking with Tom about this. In a moment, I
Speaker 1: thought the Sixers defended the play really really well. I mean,
Speaker 1: Josh Richardson was right up in Yoki's face on the block.
Speaker 1: There was extra body sent towards Paul Millsap in the
Speaker 1: corner when the ball was passed to him, if I'm
Speaker 1: recounting the play correctly, and then Yokich got the ball
Speaker 1: up by the elbow. Al Horford was in the vicinity,
Speaker 1: put up a hand and contest. Josh Richardson came over.
Speaker 1: He put up a hand as well, but Yoki, he
Speaker 1: was falling to the floor, was able to knock down
Speaker 1: the hierarching rainbow jump shot and it was enough to
Speaker 1: make the difference as the Denver Nuggets outscored the seventy
Speaker 1: six Ers thirty five to thirteen in the fourth quarter
Speaker 1: to pull this one out one hundred ninety seven. So
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone thought this road trip was going
Speaker 1: to be an easy one, especially given the time of
Speaker 1: year that it was occurring. In the fact that the
Speaker 1: seventy Sixers played with at Joel Embiid in two of
Speaker 1: the games and Ben Simmons and essentially the final two.
Speaker 1: The Sixers go one and three, They're gonna get two
Speaker 1: games at home before having a hit back out on
Speaker 1: the road again. With Charlotte coming on Sunday, Sixers will
Speaker 1: look to re group, We will look to get things
Speaker 1: going and speak with Tom McGinnis in a second Denver
Speaker 1: Nuggets steal one for the seventy six Ers one hundred
Speaker 1: and ninety seven at Pepsi Center in the Mile High City.
Speaker 1: As the seventy Sixers road trip comes to an end
Speaker 1: with a third straight loss on Brian Seltzer, we go
Speaker 1: back out to Pepsi Center connect with Tom McGinnis. Tom,
Speaker 1: what do you think made the difference in that fourth quarter? Well,
Speaker 1: you got to give Denver a lot of credit. Thirty
Speaker 1: five points. They started making shots. They took the wave
Speaker 1: of momentum and carried it to a victory. But you know,
Speaker 1: as coach Brown was saying post game, the Sixers, I
Speaker 1: believe they were what eight of seventeen for the nine
Speaker 1: The turnovers and the misfile shots really cost them in
Speaker 1: thirteen points in the fourth quarter. You know, being outscored
Speaker 1: thirty five to thirteen down the stretch really hurt. And
Speaker 1: like I said, one of my points at halftime when
Speaker 1: the Sixers had that lead I believe fifteen points, was
Speaker 1: you know, the run is going to come, and how
Speaker 1: will you went to come and how will you respond
Speaker 1: if you were to Sixers and you know Denver they
Speaker 1: at one point early in the fourth had a ten
Speaker 1: oh run. But then it seemed like the Sixers righted
Speaker 1: themselves and we're able to you know, keep things going.
Speaker 1: But then Yoki got hot, Murray continue to move that
Speaker 1: ball around. They scored with efficiency and Yokich had sixteen
Speaker 1: points in the fourth quarter for them, and we learned.
Speaker 1: Now this is down twenty one and the fourth the
Speaker 1: biggest comeback in the history of the Denver Nuggets. Ho
Speaker 1: about that as good of a nugget as that is,
Speaker 1: Team AC that might be left out of the old
Speaker 1: Sixers dot Com recap night, Well, we're very close to
Speaker 1: the Denver broadcast. Booths couldn't help. He wasn't sharing, but
Speaker 1: I can't help, but hear it the guy. You know,
Speaker 1: it's it's important for contacts looking at this game because
Speaker 1: that's how big of a climb Denver had to make
Speaker 1: back and how much things had to go right, and
Speaker 1: it's amazing. I thought that really for the majority of
Speaker 1: this game, especially the first three quarters, it was like
Speaker 1: whenever Denver put the row on the seventy sixers, they
Speaker 1: were the team that had the answer. They were getting
Speaker 1: timely three pointers, whether it was from someone like a
Speaker 1: fur Concorkmas, a Whole Nato, even Kyle O'Quinn at one point,
Speaker 1: Josh Richardson. But then Denver goes five for seven from three.
Speaker 1: In the fourth, Yokich hid an early one to make
Speaker 1: it six. There was that one from Paul Millsap to
Speaker 1: make it a two point game. Will Barton to get
Speaker 1: the deficit to one and the Sixers, you know, Horford
Speaker 1: misses that three with thirteen seconds to go, and that
Speaker 1: was a big flip of the script statistically in this game, right,
Speaker 1: and Barton kind of made up for that turnover where
Speaker 1: he threw it in and Josh was able to pry
Speaker 1: it away from Murray, but it was really because of
Speaker 1: a bad pass by Barton on a side out of
Speaker 1: bounds playing in the waning moments. But then he you know,
Speaker 1: he steps into a wide open three and makes it.
Speaker 1: That was clutch. And then I think, and no doubt
Speaker 1: about it, the Sixers had some real inspired play from Burke.
Speaker 1: And as you say, Kyle Quinn, James and has played well.
Speaker 1: I thought, how Will played well? And you know, you
Speaker 1: have to kind of step back and look conceptually how
Speaker 1: they played Denver. So Murray is not a classic point guard,
Speaker 1: but he is a you know, to me he would
Speaker 1: be more of a two. But he's a great ball
Speaker 1: handler and he is he initiates middle pick and roll.
Speaker 1: What does Prett Brown always say, Brian, You've heard this
Speaker 1: a million times from coach. The most popular most run play,
Speaker 1: if you will, in the NBA is middle pick and
Speaker 1: roll and more specifically one five pick roll and they
Speaker 1: play it all the time, and Yokich is more of
Speaker 1: a pick and pop guy, and he kind of drifts
Speaker 1: over to the wing instead of rolling hard in the lane.
Speaker 1: And yet you know he's such a depth passer. He
Speaker 1: puts your team in a very difficult spot and that
Speaker 1: that's to me, that's where they hurt the Sixers the most.
Speaker 1: And then I thought the play was I mean, it
Speaker 1: set up the game when he shot was Paul millsap.
Speaker 1: But he had a number of great plays, if I'm
Speaker 1: not mistaken. He made three threes. Defensively, he was brilliant
Speaker 1: at times. Stimy and the Sixers at the rim and
Speaker 1: he gets swarmed down low by four Sixers. He's trying
Speaker 1: to get out of the lane. He doesn't know what.
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, he's just able to get that
Speaker 1: ball out to Yoki. And that was a bit play.
Speaker 1: You think of yoks with the shop, but millstop making
Speaker 1: the past. That set up that game winner was huge
Speaker 1: for them. Sixers fall in Denver one hundred ninety seven.
Speaker 1: Nicola Yokich the game winner with two point two seconds
Speaker 1: to go. You looded to Trey Burke Tom He finished
Speaker 1: with five points three assists, but I think his impact
Speaker 1: went farther than those numbers would suggest. The bench had
Speaker 1: a really really strong night, combining for thirty seven points
Speaker 1: in the absence of Ben Simmons, and we talked about
Speaker 1: it before the game, and I think now even more
Speaker 1: so afterwards with the way Trey Burke played. Perhaps one
Speaker 1: of the biggest takeaways for the seventy sixers on this
Speaker 1: early season road trip was finding out more about their
Speaker 1: two backup ball handlers in Howell Natso, who scored thirteen
Speaker 1: points and had six assists, and Trey Burke. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: thought Nato was really good in his last two games,
Speaker 1: and Trey Burke, no doubt scored it. And like I've said,
Speaker 1: I said a number of times since the Sixers signed
Speaker 1: him in the summer, and there's gonna be a night
Speaker 1: where he gets to ten points in a quarter, and
Speaker 1: tonight was kind of that night. You know, wasn't all
Speaker 1: in one quarter. The only thing that concerns me a
Speaker 1: little bit, and you needed the scoring, and Coach Brown
Speaker 1: just stated postgame that he wanted to give him a look,
Speaker 1: and you know, for the most part, Burke and I
Speaker 1: don't want to take anything away, but he is a
Speaker 1: scorer and to me, like you have to be a
Speaker 1: distributor and a scorer like but in other words, he
Speaker 1: kind of looks for his own number every time, and
Speaker 1: that's that's good when you need points, but you also
Speaker 1: need to distribute that ball like Tobias wasn't getting a
Speaker 1: lot of looks when he was in there, like that
Speaker 1: kind of thing where you know, you have to steal
Speaker 1: within the framework of the offense running and then if
Speaker 1: it's a breakdown under five seconds on the shot clock.
Speaker 1: But that might be quibbling. It was his first game,
Speaker 1: and look, the Sixers needed scoring, as I said, and
Speaker 1: he did it. But you know, you also have to
Speaker 1: have and beat in the game when he's in there
Speaker 1: a lot, you know, you kind of have to get
Speaker 1: other guys touches as well, and they'll work with him
Speaker 1: on that. But they again, like I said pregame, this
Speaker 1: guy's had forty points in a game. Uh, and you
Speaker 1: need you need offense and punch off the game. And
Speaker 1: he's got that off the bench and he was able
Speaker 1: to deliver in that regard. Looking forward to coming home
Speaker 1: team Mac, Yeah, I mean it's just like everybody. Are
Speaker 1: you excited for the season. Of course, I'm excited for
Speaker 1: the season. But when you get on the road, I
Speaker 1: don't know. Sometimes I think maybe people don't realize, but
Speaker 1: the travel, and it's not just to travel. It's like tonight,
Speaker 1: we're coming on midnight. Right, Hey, we're still in Denver, Colorado.
Speaker 1: That's where there are later rivals. And granted you're in
Speaker 1: luxurious hotels and whatnot, but it is that the sleep
Speaker 1: patterns get totally disrupted over these last eight days. You
Speaker 1: think you'd be accustomed to the mountain time or Pacific
Speaker 1: time or whatever, but not really the case. And now
Speaker 1: we swing back into the otherware Valley. It'll be great
Speaker 1: to be home. You're right. Looking forward to talking with
Speaker 1: you on Sunday. All right, but thank you, goodnight. Big
Speaker 1: thanks to Tom mcguinnis for hanging out for a little
Speaker 1: bit more analysis and we have got his highlights coming up.
Speaker 1: After a one hundred ninety seven lost by the seventy
Speaker 1: six ers to the Denver Nuggets, Hey, real quick, this
Speaker 1: reminder that if you miss any of the game, we
Speaker 1: remind you the morning after every game on the seventy
Speaker 1: six Ers podcast network. You can hear our rewind edition
Speaker 1: of the pod, which is essentially this program played again.
Speaker 1: Just searched seventy six Ers podcast network, wherever you get
Speaker 1: your pods. Seventy six Ers one last time on the
Speaker 1: road for now visiting the Denver Nuggets for the only
Speaker 1: time this season to five and two teams. I'm Brian Selzer.
Speaker 1: Here is how it sounded, courtesy of the one and
Speaker 1: only Tom McGinnis. Seventy Sixers got off to an encouraging
Speaker 1: start tonight. They also to go a little bit deeper
Speaker 1: into the bench because Ben Simmons was not available. This
Speaker 1: was Trey Burke's Sixers debut. Five seconds ago, Burke drives
Speaker 1: it at Burke still dribbling, gets the screen lifts shoot
Speaker 1: stars with point two to go, it'd be running interferrets
Speaker 1: to run the fill life and Trey Burke gets the
Speaker 1: field goal, his first basket of the year that made
Speaker 1: a twenty four eighteen seventy Sixers. The first quarter was
Speaker 1: a little bit ragged, but then things opened up with
Speaker 1: the bench doing more good. In quarter number two, Burt
Speaker 1: to delay, Preez top and a quibble laup Trey Burke
Speaker 1: with an instant offense. He's wheeling stealing had another field
Speaker 1: goal by Kyle oh quinn. He's four for four. Time
Speaker 1: out Denver. The Sixers forty one and the Nuggets twenty eight.
Speaker 1: More from the bench before the first half was through
Speaker 1: Josh Richardson of the ball. Gary Harris guards him. They
Speaker 1: jumped theld upside perk On. He's gonna shoot for three.
Speaker 1: It's in the year, it's gone. Cark Boss hits again.
Speaker 1: What a surprise. Cork Boss having a tremendous season for
Speaker 1: the Sixers. He's made three threes and as many tries
Speaker 1: he's got eleven and the seventy Sixers back in front
Speaker 1: by seventeen. Sixers could do no wrong in the first half.
Speaker 1: From three, they were nine of twelve, led by fifteen
Speaker 1: points at the break fifty seven to forty two. And
Speaker 1: the third quarter the seventy sixers continued to expand the
Speaker 1: margin and play really really good basketball. The three points
Speaker 1: shot was falling. Joel Embiid was great in the third quarters,
Speaker 1: scoring ten points, going four to five from the field
Speaker 1: and you know one. At one point the seventy sixers
Speaker 1: they looked up at the scoreboard and they were ahead
Speaker 1: by twenty one and feet of the ball when it's
Speaker 1: back to the basket to the run of the lane,
Speaker 1: leads back, turn his faces holding the ball, jaff step
Speaker 1: by Plumber. It makes a baseline move, gets a round
Speaker 1: him goes in for a lamp up and god he
Speaker 1: got a reverse and Porter came over and want to
Speaker 1: play by Joel and Bead. That made it eighty four
Speaker 1: to sixty five to seventy Sixers were in a great
Speaker 1: spot early on in the third quarter, but down the
Speaker 1: stretch of the fourth things began to tighten up a
Speaker 1: little bit as the Denver Nuggets were able to string
Speaker 1: a tenant nothing run together then carried over into the fourth,
Speaker 1: so you got the feeling that the tenor of the
Speaker 1: game was gonna change. Even though the Sixers led by
Speaker 1: nineteen going into the fourth and twenty one early on
Speaker 1: in the period, they had to fend off the Denver
Speaker 1: Nuggets and the Sixers Denver going on a twenty seven
Speaker 1: to nine run. Joel and Bead in crunch time, trying
Speaker 1: to see these seventy sixers through to the finish line.
Speaker 1: Howel Netta with a dribble, he goes off int the
Speaker 1: Bead screen keeps the rouble knabouts it's the duel domin
Speaker 1: Nat and people the yappe. It's gone and beat off
Speaker 1: a pick and roll with Netto and the Sixers lead
Speaker 1: ninety seven ninety four fifty seconds to go. That's the
Speaker 1: benefit of having Netto in the game. He could play
Speaker 1: pick and roll middle, pick and roll with him, beat
Speaker 1: into work for lamp, but Jamal Murray would drive inside
Speaker 1: to cut the deficit to one. Ninety seven ninety six.
Speaker 1: Al Horford missed a three pointer with thirteen seconds to go.
Speaker 1: Denver called time out down by one and this was
Speaker 1: the game winner. No step with four, no step to
Speaker 1: the upside. Yoki shot high here. It's good but fun
Speaker 1: seconds to go he could I Yokis made a hahi
Speaker 1: archy wing shot. Denver has taken the league. Ninety eight
Speaker 1: ninety seven Denver great defense by the seventy sixers. I
Speaker 1: thought heck of a shot by Yokich to get the
Speaker 1: Ver Nuggets over the hump in a three point one
Speaker 1: hundred ninety seven victory. Yokich with sixteen of his twenty
Speaker 1: six in the fourth quarter, Denver outscored the six Ers
Speaker 1: thirty five thirteen in the period. Yokich also with ten
Speaker 1: rebounds and six assists, Jamal Murray with twenty two points
Speaker 1: and eleven dimes, twenty points for Will Barton. He had
Speaker 1: two three pointers, seventy Sixers getting a team high totals
Speaker 1: from dwell embad and points and rebounding with nineteen and
Speaker 1: fifteen respectively, thirteen apiece for how Will Nato and Tobias
Speaker 1: Harris Nato also with six assists twelve points for con Corkms.
Speaker 1: He was a perfect three of three from outside the
Speaker 1: ark and Trey Burke was able to come off the
Speaker 1: bench with five points and three assists and eleven points
Speaker 1: for Kylo Quinn in a reserve role. So the seventy
Speaker 1: sixers will come back home in a little bit of
Speaker 1: a different spot than when they left. Last we saw
Speaker 1: the seventy sixers in South Philadelphia. They were undefeated. They
Speaker 1: began the season five and oh. They have now lost
Speaker 1: three straight and we look to get back on track
Speaker 1: against the foreign for Charlotte Hornets, six o'clock start time,
Speaker 1: Military Appreciation Night at the Center on Sunday. Hope to
Speaker 1: see you there. You've been listening to rewind, look out
Speaker 1: for fresh episodes the day after every seventy Sixers game
Speaker 1: this season.
