<v Speaker 1>five the Fanatic seventy Sixers hang on to go perfect

0:00:20.000 --> 0:00:23.120
<v Speaker 1>on the two game homestand one sixteen one fifteen over

0:00:23.120 --> 0:00:25.600
<v Speaker 1>the Lando Magic. Brian Seltzer with you from Sixers dot

0:00:25.600 --> 0:00:28.360
<v Speaker 1>Com here at the center. Let's join Brett Brown in

0:00:28.440 --> 0:00:31.640
<v Speaker 1>progress and markl was a part of that and then

0:00:31.720 --> 0:00:35.400
<v Speaker 1>TJ coming back in. That was part of my plan

0:00:35.479 --> 0:00:38.760
<v Speaker 1>for that reason. Explain the JJ reddishaw. Was that a

0:00:38.840 --> 0:00:43.000
<v Speaker 1>play John for Jjay three? I mean we live out

0:00:43.040 --> 0:00:45.839
<v Speaker 1>of a look, you guys that sort of see us

0:00:45.880 --> 0:00:49.440
<v Speaker 1>play a lot. There's probably you know, four to six

0:00:49.520 --> 0:00:53.160
<v Speaker 1>things we do out of a set, and and we

0:00:53.159 --> 0:00:55.280
<v Speaker 1>we when it gets down to crunch time and it's

0:00:55.360 --> 0:00:58.040
<v Speaker 1>time to you know, try to get a bucket and

0:00:58.080 --> 0:01:01.080
<v Speaker 1>try time to execute. We live in a world and

0:01:01.200 --> 0:01:03.680
<v Speaker 1>we have for a while and it came out of that.

0:01:04.120 --> 0:01:07.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean, JJ Reddick was our bell ringer tonight. I

0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:11.960
<v Speaker 1>thought Joel was exceptional as well, but he uh, we

0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:14.679
<v Speaker 1>needed every bit of jj Reddick tonight to find a

0:01:14.680 --> 0:01:16.679
<v Speaker 1>way to get out of this building with a win.

0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:20.280
<v Speaker 1>There's a normal coach. In the second quarter, I think

0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:23.399
<v Speaker 1>Joel had just hit his twenty was that twenty one

0:01:23.440 --> 0:01:25.160
<v Speaker 1>points and I looked over you kind of had to

0:01:25.200 --> 0:01:27.880
<v Speaker 1>smirk on your face. It was almost like it almost

0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:30.640
<v Speaker 1>looked like a you know, fairy is going again. What

0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:34.200
<v Speaker 1>was going through in your mind? I think I remember

0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:38.600
<v Speaker 1>the play you're talking about. Um, you know, when when

0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:42.840
<v Speaker 1>Ben goes out, you realize and that that that you're

0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:46.959
<v Speaker 1>gonna need some help from some place else. And the

0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:50.680
<v Speaker 1>first place you go in my mind is Joel. You know, like,

0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:53.800
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna need maybe more minutes more. Um, I'm gonna

0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:55.720
<v Speaker 1>have to get him the ball more. You know, we

0:01:55.800 --> 0:01:57.640
<v Speaker 1>knew JJ was gonna have to come in and take

0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:00.680
<v Speaker 1>up some of that slack. And when you see Joel

0:02:01.760 --> 0:02:06.200
<v Speaker 1>just just just that confident in playing with that type

0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:09.800
<v Speaker 1>of spirit, you get excited. I think one of the

0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:13.800
<v Speaker 1>things that's has stood out for us as coaches when

0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:16.160
<v Speaker 1>you when you you drill down and you actually like

0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:18.520
<v Speaker 1>watch the game and can look at it and rewind

0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:21.239
<v Speaker 1>it and like study it and so on. We're blown

0:02:21.280 --> 0:02:25.040
<v Speaker 1>away at how good he has been defensively, especially in

0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:28.920
<v Speaker 1>regards to not taking plays off. It's hard to do

0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:31.520
<v Speaker 1>that when you're a high minute guy, a big volume guy,

0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:37.640
<v Speaker 1>minute volume guy. He plays, he really competes. And Uh,

0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:40.040
<v Speaker 1>that play that you're talking about, as I remember it,

0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:47.280
<v Speaker 1>those types of things, uh come to my mind. I

0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:53.440
<v Speaker 1>guess Mark probably, Um, you know it's a bit premature,

0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:58.880
<v Speaker 1>but on first glance, probably probably. And Uh, I we

0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:04.480
<v Speaker 1>have off tomorrow, that would be a fine. We have

0:03:04.639 --> 0:03:09.720
<v Speaker 1>off tomorrow, and we're back at eleven o'clock on Monday,

0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:13.359
<v Speaker 1>and it's an appropriate day for us to have off.

0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:15.840
<v Speaker 1>We get a big stuff coming up, as we all know,

0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:19.520
<v Speaker 1>and we'll learn more about Ben, I think after treatment

0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:23.000
<v Speaker 1>tonight and seeing how he responds in the morning. Seventy

0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:26.680
<v Speaker 1>Sixers head coach Brett Brown saying before we ended up

0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:29.880
<v Speaker 1>carrying that portion of the press conference, he was asked

0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:32.480
<v Speaker 1>right off the bat about Ben simmons injury back tightness.

0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:35.000
<v Speaker 1>Simmons left in the first quarter did not return. This

0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:38.040
<v Speaker 1>is Brett Brown's quote, I don't believe it's serious, before

0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:41.280
<v Speaker 1>adding I'm just giving my opinion without any information from

0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:44.520
<v Speaker 1>the team. Doctors. There could be an update later on tonight,

0:03:44.760 --> 0:03:47.400
<v Speaker 1>but the seventy Sixers beat the Orlando Magic one sixteen

0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:50.800
<v Speaker 1>one fifteen game that featured a lot of swings. The

0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:53.160
<v Speaker 1>Magic led by as many as sixteen points, the Sixers

0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:55.720
<v Speaker 1>came back to lead by thirteen points. All of that

0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:57.640
<v Speaker 1>was in the first half, and then things really tightened

0:03:57.680 --> 0:03:59.840
<v Speaker 1>up in the third quarter, when the Magic out scored

0:03:59.880 --> 0:04:02.760
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers by eight. The Sixers just enough to get

0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:06.760
<v Speaker 1>by staving off the Magic. There was that Terrence Ross. Obviously,

0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:08.720
<v Speaker 1>the forty footer if you were listening from just beneath

0:04:08.720 --> 0:04:11.880
<v Speaker 1>the timeline was ridiculous and you're thinking, oh gosh, could

0:04:11.920 --> 0:04:14.920
<v Speaker 1>this like it could really be that kind of night.

0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:17.760
<v Speaker 1>It gave the Magic one twelve one ten lead with

0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:20.520
<v Speaker 1>forty seconds left, But it proved to be the night

0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:23.640
<v Speaker 1>that belonged to JJ Reddick and Joel Embiid, the two

0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:26.920
<v Speaker 1>of those players combining for sixty three, more than half

0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:29.760
<v Speaker 1>of the seventy sixers point total. Reddick with thirty one

0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:32.160
<v Speaker 1>matching as high as a sixer, his eight three pointers

0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:34.680
<v Speaker 1>matching as high as a sixer as well, second highest

0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:37.680
<v Speaker 1>three point total in his career. Joel Embiad his second

0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:40.479
<v Speaker 1>straight thirty two and ten game for the second time

0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:43.960
<v Speaker 1>in his career. He was really brilliant, especially in the

0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:47.240
<v Speaker 1>second quarter. I thought it was Reddick who got the

0:04:47.240 --> 0:04:50.480
<v Speaker 1>Sixers jump started back in the swing of things after

0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:53.200
<v Speaker 1>they fell behind by sixteen early on the first quarter,

0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:56.160
<v Speaker 1>and he trimmed the deficit to two going into the second,

0:04:56.400 --> 0:04:59.120
<v Speaker 1>and then from there Joel Embiad took over. At one

0:04:59.160 --> 0:05:02.480
<v Speaker 1>point he scored thirteen straight for the seventy Sixers, had

0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:05.880
<v Speaker 1>seventeen points in the second frame, and reached twenty one

0:05:05.960 --> 0:05:09.560
<v Speaker 1>points by halftime. Just dominant stuff from Joel Embiid, And

0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:12.320
<v Speaker 1>as Tom pointed out very fittingly, it was Ebid who

0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:14.680
<v Speaker 1>flipped the ball to Reddick on the wing for that

0:05:15.040 --> 0:05:17.320
<v Speaker 1>three point shot on the move that put the Sixers

0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:20.720
<v Speaker 1>in front by the score of one sixteen to one

0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:23.880
<v Speaker 1>fourteen with seventeen seconds to go, and that would prove

0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:27.680
<v Speaker 1>to be enough. Sixers get the job done. They go

0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:29.880
<v Speaker 1>perfect on the home stand. There now about five hundred

0:05:29.880 --> 0:05:33.000
<v Speaker 1>and two and one on the year, one sixteen or

0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:36.320
<v Speaker 1>one fifteen, your final Sixers win. At the center, Tom

0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:38.400
<v Speaker 1>McGinnis is coming up and play some of his highlights

0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:40.880
<v Speaker 1>as well. It's the postgame show here on the Sixers

0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:49.080
<v Speaker 1>Rated Network ninety seven five, The Fanatic seventy Sixers Edge

0:05:49.120 --> 0:05:52.640
<v Speaker 1>the Orlando Magic one sixteen one fifteen. Brian Seltzer with

0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:55.120
<v Speaker 1>you from Sixers dot Com down here at the center,

0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:57.760
<v Speaker 1>rejoined by the man who always calls a good one.

0:05:57.800 --> 0:06:00.760
<v Speaker 1>This one was a victory tonight. After that Terence Ross

0:06:00.800 --> 0:06:02.919
<v Speaker 1>three point or time, it was not feeling good for

0:06:02.960 --> 0:06:05.200
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers at one twelve, one ten with about forty

0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:08.159
<v Speaker 1>seconds to go, but JJ Reddick had one more triple

0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:10.760
<v Speaker 1>left in him. He and Joel Embid were a fantastic

0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:14.359
<v Speaker 1>now that was well guarded on that fire left perimeter

0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:18.400
<v Speaker 1>and they were really not letting Reddick get any airspace whatsoever.

0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:20.800
<v Speaker 1>But Joel got it. JJ flared a little bit to

0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:23.800
<v Speaker 1>that left wing, got free online and poured it in.

0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:26.320
<v Speaker 1>And it was exciting the way that the whole crowd

0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:29.320
<v Speaker 1>here in the lower bowl, over twenty thousand, three hundred

0:06:29.360 --> 0:06:33.320
<v Speaker 1>fans on in total, were up in anticipation and then

0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:38.400
<v Speaker 1>reacted to that. That's what live you know, basketball in

0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:40.880
<v Speaker 1>this setting is all about. That was really exciting, and

0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:42.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, coming in you would have thought, oh, the

0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:44.280
<v Speaker 1>Sixers just shought to be an easy one. That's just

0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:45.960
<v Speaker 1>not the way it always works. And in other words,

0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:48.920
<v Speaker 1>Orlando really wanted to play better after how they played

0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:51.560
<v Speaker 1>at home last night, and guess what, from their perspective,

0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:53.600
<v Speaker 1>they feel like they let this game slip away. Steve

0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:56.960
<v Speaker 1>Clifford was livid after the game and for the Sixers,

0:06:56.960 --> 0:07:00.200
<v Speaker 1>as Joel Embiid was able to explain to us, they

0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:02.440
<v Speaker 1>felt like it was a little too close down the stretch,

0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:05.520
<v Speaker 1>but really exciting and in the end it's a win

0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:10.200
<v Speaker 1>and they got some tremendous performances. I thought without Ben Simmons,

0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:12.720
<v Speaker 1>a lot of guys needed to step up. They did.

0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:17.160
<v Speaker 1>Daria was rugged, consistent and solid. Mere Johnson brought a

0:07:17.200 --> 0:07:22.000
<v Speaker 1>lot of energy. Marquel was okay in the game, not great,

0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:24.800
<v Speaker 1>but certainly did a lot of good things. And b

0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:28.680
<v Speaker 1>was really terrific, particularly with three threes in the first half.

0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:31.280
<v Speaker 1>He made six consecutive field goals in the second quarter,

0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:34.480
<v Speaker 1>leading to a thirteen or run of thirteen straight points

0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:37.240
<v Speaker 1>for him. So all at all, an exciting night and

0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:40.800
<v Speaker 1>a scintillating one point victory for the Sixers. Seventeen three

0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:43.640
<v Speaker 1>points for the seventy Sixers, matching a franchise record one

0:07:43.840 --> 0:07:46.800
<v Speaker 1>sixteen one fifteen. You said this at one point during

0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:48.559
<v Speaker 1>the game, and I thought it was a great point.

0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:52.920
<v Speaker 1>You know what, maybe the style points weren't necessarily there tonight,

0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:54.840
<v Speaker 1>but like part of this whole thing with eighty two

0:07:54.880 --> 0:07:56.520
<v Speaker 1>games is there's gonna be nights when you don't have

0:07:56.560 --> 0:08:00.160
<v Speaker 1>your full compliment and your complete arsenal players, and you

0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:02.120
<v Speaker 1>still expecting, when you're a team like the Sixers level

0:08:02.120 --> 0:08:03.760
<v Speaker 1>to get the job done. And they ended up doing that,

0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:06.000
<v Speaker 1>and they relied on a lot of different players to

0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:09.280
<v Speaker 1>do that. Dario had his moments. The stats may not

0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:11.320
<v Speaker 1>suggest that if you just looked at the box score,

0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:13.440
<v Speaker 1>but it was nice to see him kind of get

0:08:13.480 --> 0:08:15.520
<v Speaker 1>into a little bit of a rhythm, right absolutely. I

0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:17.920
<v Speaker 1>thought early on he kind of was looking for that

0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:21.960
<v Speaker 1>three ball and oftentimes a line drive three point shooter.

0:08:22.000 --> 0:08:25.520
<v Speaker 1>Tonight he added some mark he got too early, and

0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:28.400
<v Speaker 1>that's where like sometimes Folks is passing up shots, but

0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:31.160
<v Speaker 1>he's you know, he's swinging the ball to corners and

0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:34.319
<v Speaker 1>Dario got some looks and he's just he's so physical,

0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:38.480
<v Speaker 1>and Dario makes some play sometimes that where he had

0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:41.680
<v Speaker 1>a tremendous defensive play on Gordon Initially, I believe I

0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:43.960
<v Speaker 1>called it a block. In other words, he blocked a shot,

0:08:44.440 --> 0:08:46.280
<v Speaker 1>but it looked like he just was able to body

0:08:46.360 --> 0:08:49.560
<v Speaker 1>up Aaron Gordon and Gordon lost it on the key possession.

0:08:49.559 --> 0:08:51.959
<v Speaker 1>And say the last three minutes of the game, there

0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:55.120
<v Speaker 1>was another instance down there where looked like Dario kind

0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:58.440
<v Speaker 1>of intertwined his arm into Gordon. It kind of both

0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:00.440
<v Speaker 1>went down. It looked like it could have been a foul,

0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:04.280
<v Speaker 1>and the Sixers got the ball. I mean, Sharritz is

0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:06.920
<v Speaker 1>a winning player and he does a lot of things

0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:09.320
<v Speaker 1>that add up for your ball club, and tonight he

0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:11.800
<v Speaker 1>was part of the success. There's so much great that

0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:15.920
<v Speaker 1>Joel Embi does, impressive dunks like the one he had

0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:19.480
<v Speaker 1>over Nick Vussevic. In the second half. We saw some

0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:22.120
<v Speaker 1>great moves obviously on Obamba. The luxury to have a

0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:25.040
<v Speaker 1>guy that size step back and in some jumpers, whether

0:09:25.120 --> 0:09:27.240
<v Speaker 1>at the elbow or three. But how about someone who

0:09:27.280 --> 0:09:28.760
<v Speaker 1>in the guts of the game, you can go to

0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:30.839
<v Speaker 1>the free throw line and make his shots and then

0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:33.360
<v Speaker 1>have the awareness to recognize when to get the ball.

0:09:33.400 --> 0:09:34.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this is something he's been working on, but

0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:37.200
<v Speaker 1>just get the ball out of his hand like Reddick.

0:09:37.240 --> 0:09:39.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean those were two things. Free throws late and

0:09:39.440 --> 0:09:41.600
<v Speaker 1>then that just finding Reddick that was so big in

0:09:41.640 --> 0:09:44.680
<v Speaker 1>this minute. Absolutely that, And the one constant is his

0:09:44.760 --> 0:09:49.400
<v Speaker 1>defensive presence. It's like, for example, you know before Orlando

0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:53.000
<v Speaker 1>with four seconds ago, they brought it inside and Joel's

0:09:53.000 --> 0:09:55.680
<v Speaker 1>in there. And the Sixers did a great job after

0:09:55.720 --> 0:09:58.360
<v Speaker 1>the Aaron Gordon miss on the free throw of freeing

0:09:58.440 --> 0:10:00.120
<v Speaker 1>up the rebound and ended up being a jump all

0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:02.760
<v Speaker 1>situation with Covington and Vussovitch and they won that and

0:10:02.840 --> 0:10:04.960
<v Speaker 1>that led to that side at a bounce player that

0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:07.600
<v Speaker 1>ended up concluding the game. But no, you're right, and

0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:10.839
<v Speaker 1>bead is really showing that he is a versatile and

0:10:10.880 --> 0:10:13.880
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers needed offense from him early on and he

0:10:14.000 --> 0:10:18.199
<v Speaker 1>delivered there. But I'll tell you, Aaron Gordon, as brilliant

0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:19.600
<v Speaker 1>as he is, he's had a career. He had a

0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:23.040
<v Speaker 1>forty one point game last year. He was terrific at

0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:26.080
<v Speaker 1>times here tonight. But there was a late situation where

0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:29.079
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers were in a switch and t J. McConnell

0:10:29.160 --> 0:10:31.959
<v Speaker 1>was on Gordon and he backs him down and you're thinking,

0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:34.440
<v Speaker 1>for the Sixers, boy, this is not bode Well and

0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:36.520
<v Speaker 1>all of a sudden, he passes it when he was

0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:39.040
<v Speaker 1>just three or four feet from the basket, and he

0:10:39.200 --> 0:10:42.320
<v Speaker 1>has six or seven inches on TJ. And certainly with

0:10:42.400 --> 0:10:45.200
<v Speaker 1>that extraordinary leaping ability, you thought he would go up

0:10:45.200 --> 0:10:47.319
<v Speaker 1>and at least get a close range bank shot. But

0:10:47.360 --> 0:10:50.600
<v Speaker 1>he passed it in traffic. That cost them, And then

0:10:51.000 --> 0:10:54.080
<v Speaker 1>you know they had a tremendous performance by Fortier. But

0:10:54.480 --> 0:10:58.160
<v Speaker 1>you know Orlando for them, now they go to Boston.

0:10:58.200 --> 0:11:01.400
<v Speaker 1>They've had a tough opening start here in Philadelphia and

0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:03.920
<v Speaker 1>then with the Celtics. But for the Sixers now two

0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:07.000
<v Speaker 1>tough road games at Detroit, they're a lot better. They

0:11:07.000 --> 0:11:10.319
<v Speaker 1>had Blake Griffin now from training camp on and then

0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:12.599
<v Speaker 1>to Milwaukee and Milwaukee's got I think it'll be a

0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:15.160
<v Speaker 1>lot better with Mike Budenholzer this year. They got to

0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:18.040
<v Speaker 1>win in their opener at Fiser for him yesterday. That's

0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:21.280
<v Speaker 1>a late night start national TV before the Sixers come

0:11:21.320 --> 0:11:23.599
<v Speaker 1>back here to take a red hot Charlotte team in

0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:27.040

<v Speaker 1>postgame showing the Sixers Rating Network ninety seven five, the

0:11:43.320 --> 0:11:51.120
<v Speaker 1>Fanatic Sixers, and the Orlando Magic. Second and final game

0:11:51.160 --> 0:11:53.480
<v Speaker 1>of this brief home stand for the Sixers before setting

0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:55.400
<v Speaker 1>out on the road for their first back to back

0:11:55.440 --> 0:11:58.079
<v Speaker 1>early next week. Brian Selt with you from Sixers dot com.

0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:01.360
<v Speaker 1>Let's hit the hard news before we get to the highlights.

0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:04.240
<v Speaker 1>And the hard news is what's going on with Ben Simmons.

0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:07.440
<v Speaker 1>Brett Brown telling reporters in his postgame press conference, if

0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:10.400
<v Speaker 1>you're just joining us, I don't believe it's serious. He's

0:12:10.400 --> 0:12:13.400
<v Speaker 1>referring to the back tightness that four Simmons out of

0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:15.680
<v Speaker 1>the game in the first quarter. But then Brown added,

0:12:15.720 --> 0:12:18.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm just giving my opinion without any information from the doctors.

0:12:18.920 --> 0:12:21.280
<v Speaker 1>An official word is expected at some point either later

0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:25.160
<v Speaker 1>this evening or tomorrow. So that is the word that

0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:27.440
<v Speaker 1>we got from Brett Brown about Ben Simmons back. But

0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:31.040
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers able to get past Orlando anyway. And here

0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:33.920
<v Speaker 1>is how it happened. Early on the Magic, they got

0:12:33.920 --> 0:12:35.760
<v Speaker 1>off to a great start. They only scored ten points

0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:37.800
<v Speaker 1>in the first quarter last night at home against Charlotte,

0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:40.720
<v Speaker 1>only five baskets, but they were a different team, jumping

0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:43.160
<v Speaker 1>out to a sixteen point twenty six to ten lead

0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:45.959
<v Speaker 1>by the five minute fifteen second mark. Sixers got going

0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:48.920
<v Speaker 1>thanks for JJ Reddick. Here's JJ for three and it's

0:12:48.920 --> 0:12:51.640
<v Speaker 1>good Reddick, but I will go all over him and

0:12:51.920 --> 0:12:55.480
<v Speaker 1>JJ Reddick with two threes in a row for the

0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:58.480
<v Speaker 1>Sixers that cut their margin to five. Magic, we're up

0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:01.600
<v Speaker 1>thirty to twenty five. Sixers trail by just two thirty

0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:04.360
<v Speaker 1>two thirty going into the second thanks to another JJ

0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:07.080
<v Speaker 1>Reddick three, and what do you know? That theme repeated

0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:10.240
<v Speaker 1>itself once again opening up the second quarter. Here's a

0:13:10.280 --> 0:13:12.040
<v Speaker 1>lob to Joel and he couldn't get it to go.

0:13:12.320 --> 0:13:14.079
<v Speaker 1>Wall comes down to w beat. He's rounded by four

0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:16.400
<v Speaker 1>members of Orlando. Gets it back with ten to shoot

0:13:16.480 --> 0:13:18.120
<v Speaker 1>and he's one on one with Mobama. But I believe

0:13:18.120 --> 0:13:20.520
<v Speaker 1>he used his dribble. Nope, he's double team. He loses it.

0:13:20.520 --> 0:13:22.240
<v Speaker 1>It's loose on the neck. He died for it, and

0:13:22.320 --> 0:13:25.000
<v Speaker 1>beat from his backside throws at the Landry Shammon free ball.

0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:27.199
<v Speaker 1>Not enough far count it. It's tip and now it

0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:29.440
<v Speaker 1>gets back out top the Reddick again, the clock only

0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:31.959
<v Speaker 1>at ten. These makes these here's a long shot by

0:13:31.960 --> 0:13:35.199
<v Speaker 1>Reddick gets good and the Sixers have taken the league.

0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:38.720
<v Speaker 1>Firstly to the game at thirty three to thirty two.

0:13:38.880 --> 0:13:41.320
<v Speaker 1>Joel and Bad then started to take over. Middle of

0:13:41.400 --> 0:13:45.440
<v Speaker 1>quarter number two. He was phenomenal tonight. Foltz again across

0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:48.400
<v Speaker 1>bid court. Here's a b with another three, and that's

0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:51.440
<v Speaker 1>up and good again Joel and beating now three three

0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:54.839
<v Speaker 1>point in field goals and the Sixers lead by eleven

0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:57.760
<v Speaker 1>fifteen to thirty nine. The eleven point margin would hold

0:13:57.840 --> 0:13:59.880
<v Speaker 1>going into the half. The Sixers were up sixty three

0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:04.000
<v Speaker 1>fifty two. Third quarter things started to change a little bit,

0:14:04.080 --> 0:14:07.320
<v Speaker 1>the Orlando magic behind Nick Vussevich. They got into ur

0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:10.240
<v Speaker 1>The Vussevic had a phenomenal triple double game tonight. The

0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:13.559
<v Speaker 1>Sixers were looking to go back to their guy without

0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:16.720
<v Speaker 1>Simmons tonight to help stem the time. Sixes with Joel

0:14:16.840 --> 0:14:19.960
<v Speaker 1>and Bach slabs it on Vusovich, get out of my

0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:24.000
<v Speaker 1>way from the left wing. He never really got separation

0:14:24.120 --> 0:14:26.760
<v Speaker 1>until he got to the rim and he basically says

0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:29.240
<v Speaker 1>the vushch this is where I'm going with it, and

0:14:29.440 --> 0:14:34.200
<v Speaker 1>he throws it down bully ball one oh one. Still

0:14:34.240 --> 0:14:36.520
<v Speaker 1>a ninven point game, eighty two to seventy one, but

0:14:36.600 --> 0:14:39.720
<v Speaker 1>a three point game eighty nine eighty six. The Sixers

0:14:39.800 --> 0:14:42.880
<v Speaker 1>margin trimmed down just like that going into the fourth

0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:45.400
<v Speaker 1>Joel and bed still imposing his will. That was a

0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:49.040
<v Speaker 1>regular thing throughout the night. Eighteen to go six is

0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:51.160
<v Speaker 1>by four with the ball into a Bead, goes around

0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:54.880
<v Speaker 1>Bamba and jams it. So then you talk about defensively

0:14:54.960 --> 0:14:57.680
<v Speaker 1>doing the early work, and that would be positioning. That

0:14:57.760 --> 0:15:00.880
<v Speaker 1>time would be duck in the lane, got on his backside,

0:15:00.920 --> 0:15:04.880
<v Speaker 1>got a great entry feed and dunks the ball. Ninety

0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:07.160
<v Speaker 1>six to ninety was the lead for the Sixers. The

0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:09.960
<v Speaker 1>magic would climb back into it. Terrence Ross had a

0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:12.840
<v Speaker 1>forty foot three pointer with seventy eight seconds to go

0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:15.760
<v Speaker 1>to make it one twelve one ten Orlando. But then

0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:18.440
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers got some free throws from Dario Sharks to

0:15:18.520 --> 0:15:20.680
<v Speaker 1>tie it up. Joel and Bead hit one from the

0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:22.760
<v Speaker 1>line to make it a one point game, and that's

0:15:22.840 --> 0:15:25.000
<v Speaker 1>it up. This would prove to be a decisive play.

0:15:25.240 --> 0:15:28.560
<v Speaker 1>Sixers with twenty seconds to go down by a point,

0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:32.000
<v Speaker 1>Reddick and it beat on a Fireway, JJ fires three ball,

0:15:32.160 --> 0:15:35.680
<v Speaker 1>He's good, he did it. J. J. Reddick parts in

0:15:35.800 --> 0:15:39.320
<v Speaker 1>the three and the Sixers take the naight. Reddick with

0:15:39.520 --> 0:15:43.480
<v Speaker 1>eight triples in the game, Are you kidding Me? One?

0:15:43.640 --> 0:15:47.280
<v Speaker 1>Sixteen one fourteen With seventeen seconds, laf the Magic would

0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:49.200
<v Speaker 1>send Aaron Gordon to the line. He would go one

0:15:49.280 --> 0:15:51.560
<v Speaker 1>for two that made it a one point game. Magic

0:15:51.600 --> 0:15:53.760
<v Speaker 1>would get the ball back on a jump tie up,

0:15:54.160 --> 0:15:57.080
<v Speaker 1>but Terrence Ross his three pointer missed in the final

0:15:57.160 --> 0:16:00.760
<v Speaker 1>seconds and the Sixers get out of dine with a

0:16:00.920 --> 0:16:04.520
<v Speaker 1>dub one sixteen one fifteen Quick look at the final number.

0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:06.880
<v Speaker 1>Six Er shot forty eight percent from the field, Orlando

0:16:06.960 --> 0:16:09.920
<v Speaker 1>forty five and a half Sixers match franchise record with

0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:13.520
<v Speaker 1>seventeen threes, Orlando had sixteen. Sixers were outdone on the

0:16:13.520 --> 0:16:17.040
<v Speaker 1>glass minus three. They kept their turnovers down only ten committed,

0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:20.840
<v Speaker 1>and they also were plus seven in points scored off

0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:24.320
<v Speaker 1>of turnovers. Individual scoring notes Really good games from Evan

0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:27.160
<v Speaker 1>Fortyer thirty one points and Nick Vussovitch for the Magic.

0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:30.360
<v Speaker 1>Voussovich the former Sixer with twenty seven, thirteen and twelve

0:16:30.400 --> 0:16:33.080
<v Speaker 1>for his second career triple double for the Sixers. Joel

0:16:33.120 --> 0:16:35.440
<v Speaker 1>and Bid led the way with thirty two points ten rebounds,

0:16:35.440 --> 0:16:37.760
<v Speaker 1>second time in his career he's had at least thirty

0:16:37.760 --> 0:16:40.800
<v Speaker 1>points and ten rebounds in consecutive games. And then JJ

0:16:40.920 --> 0:16:43.320
<v Speaker 1>Reddick off the bench. He started the second half, but

0:16:43.360 --> 0:16:45.400
<v Speaker 1>he had thirty one points to match his highest total

0:16:45.800 --> 0:16:48.200
<v Speaker 1>in now one plus seasons with the seventy six Ers,

0:16:48.280 --> 0:16:52.240
<v Speaker 1>eight of thirteen from outside the arc. Just tremendous work

0:16:52.560 --> 0:16:55.320
<v Speaker 1>by Ebid and JJ in the game. Mere Johnson good

0:16:55.320 --> 0:16:58.000
<v Speaker 1>off the bench with eight TJ McConnell another good presence

0:16:58.040 --> 0:17:00.400
<v Speaker 1>off the bench as well. He had eight points foists

0:17:00.760 --> 0:17:03.560
<v Speaker 1>and he was a guy who was thrust into extra

0:17:03.640 --> 0:17:06.760
<v Speaker 1>duty tonight in the absence of Simmons Marquel Foltz. He

0:17:06.800 --> 0:17:09.720
<v Speaker 1>had eight points, four of eleven from the field, seven assists,

0:17:09.720 --> 0:17:11.920
<v Speaker 1>just one turnover. It was McConnell who finished out the

0:17:11.960 --> 0:17:14.800
<v Speaker 1>game tonight. Two thousand, I beg a pardon. Two thousand

0:17:14.840 --> 0:17:16.800
<v Speaker 1>was a little bit more than that twenty thousand, three

0:17:16.840 --> 0:17:19.639
<v Speaker 1>hundred sellout crowd at the Center tonight as the Sixers

0:17:19.640 --> 0:17:22.160
<v Speaker 1>improved to two and one, The Orlando Magic are now

0:17:22.240 --> 0:17:24.840
<v Speaker 1>one and two on the season. So the Sixers will

0:17:24.840 --> 0:17:27.360
<v Speaker 1>started back to back on Tuesday. They'll visit the two

0:17:27.440 --> 0:17:30.600

0:18:19.560 --> 0:18:21.679
<v Speaker 1>Your thoughts in general with this one over the magic.

0:18:24.560 --> 0:18:27.280
<v Speaker 1>We had to lead on to fresh and they came

0:18:27.280 --> 0:18:29.600
<v Speaker 1>back in. You know, we had to get one last

0:18:29.600 --> 0:18:32.679
<v Speaker 1>stop and that's all we did. Then before that last session,

0:18:32.720 --> 0:18:36.159
<v Speaker 1>I told Cup you know he was fast him on defense.

0:18:36.160 --> 0:18:40.200
<v Speaker 1>I was second and up to defensive play off the USA.

0:18:40.760 --> 0:18:42.959
<v Speaker 1>We had to get best stop that we're doing. How

0:18:42.960 --> 0:18:46.960
<v Speaker 1>about that pass that you fed jj Reddick That was

0:18:47.000 --> 0:18:49.040
<v Speaker 1>his eighth three and that ended up being the winning

0:18:49.080 --> 0:18:51.760
<v Speaker 1>play offensively, your thoughts at that end of the floor,

0:18:51.880 --> 0:18:53.679
<v Speaker 1>are you how do you go? Oh? And then I

0:18:53.720 --> 0:18:56.920
<v Speaker 1>just did my job, you know, under pressure, I thought

0:18:56.920 --> 0:18:59.119
<v Speaker 1>I didn't bat me and I did my job, and

0:19:00.119 --> 0:19:02.560
<v Speaker 1>I had to make the Vie pass. And even if

0:19:02.560 --> 0:19:05.520
<v Speaker 1>he didn't have the shot, Uh, we had a continuity

0:19:05.880 --> 0:19:08.399
<v Speaker 1>and then I could have had something. But you know,

0:19:08.440 --> 0:19:11.119
<v Speaker 1>he was hot all games, so I had to feel there, Joel,

0:19:11.240 --> 0:19:14.240
<v Speaker 1>these wins, these battles come in all different forms, and

0:19:14.359 --> 0:19:17.520
<v Speaker 1>this was really an exhilarating, exciting finish for you guys

0:19:17.520 --> 0:19:20.320
<v Speaker 1>here tonight. Right. Yes, Uh, he should have had been

0:19:20.400 --> 0:19:23.040
<v Speaker 1>like that. Uh. I felt like we controled the whole

0:19:23.080 --> 0:19:25.960
<v Speaker 1>game except the Foss quarter, but we got back in

0:19:26.000 --> 0:19:28.520
<v Speaker 1>the game. Then we contold it. So he should have

0:19:28.560 --> 0:19:31.040
<v Speaker 1>never got into this point, but he did, and we

0:19:31.160 --> 0:19:33.440
<v Speaker 1>did our job and we got to win. Now we

0:19:33.560 --> 0:19:36.520
<v Speaker 1>two on one and we on we're two eighty one

0:19:36.560 --> 0:19:40.120
