Speaker 1: Search seventy Sixers podcast wherever you get your pots, you're
Speaker 1: listening to Rewind. They'll listen back on press conferences, highlights
Speaker 1: and analysis from the seventy sixers previous game. And how
Speaker 1: about that? With just over seven seconds to go, Young
Speaker 1: Shake Milton poised unflappable, delivering after a tough start for
Speaker 1: Shake Milton and seating play for the seventy Sixers on Saturday,
Speaker 1: the second year guard out of SMU coming through with
Speaker 1: the clutchest of clutch shots tonight to put the seventy
Speaker 1: Sixers over the top in a one thirty two one
Speaker 1: thirty victory over the San Antonio Spurs. I'm Brian Seltzer.
Speaker 1: We're expecting to hear from the Sixers head coach Brett
Speaker 1: Brown via zoom in just a few moments. We'll get
Speaker 1: some thoughts from Tom McGinnis as well in playback some
Speaker 1: of his highlights. Got to feel great for Shake Milton.
Speaker 1: He came out of the gates tonight, I thought, with
Speaker 1: a really aggressive approach after going over one from the
Speaker 1: field scoreless in a Saturday's reopener against the Pacers, seemed
Speaker 1: a little bit lost in that game, but tonight he
Speaker 1: was aggressive, he was confident, He made plays and the
Speaker 1: biggest shot of the night for the Sixers to put
Speaker 1: them over the top. He was six of nine from
Speaker 1: the field, two of four from outside the arc, had
Speaker 1: five rebounds, three assists, and didn't seem rattled by what
Speaker 1: took place on Saturday. And that is what we've come
Speaker 1: to know and expect from Milton, a guy who's very
Speaker 1: even keeled, mellow, takes things in stride, and certainly right
Speaker 1: before the suspension of play back in March, he was
Speaker 1: playing terrific basketball. Joel Embiid was awesome twenty seven points,
Speaker 1: nine rebounds and five assists, did a great job passing
Speaker 1: tonight out of the post. Tobias Harris with twenty five points,
Speaker 1: nineteen for Josh Richardson and twelve for fur Concork Moise
Speaker 1: Brett Brown, speaking after tonight's thrilling win one thirty two,
Speaker 1: one thirty over the Spurs, he did a good job
Speaker 1: of pressuring al Horfan. Probably was no secret who we
Speaker 1: wanted to go to, and just because of that crowd
Speaker 1: and the fact that you had somebody that could, you know,
Speaker 1: pass the ball in and make a shot, um, you know,
Speaker 1: proof to to win us the game as a result of,
Speaker 1: you know, shake sort of confidence because you know, normally
Speaker 1: a lot of people aren't gonna, you know, fall in
Speaker 1: love with that shot, and he did. He didn't hesitate
Speaker 1: until your point. Given his performance in the first game,
Speaker 1: it's a great way to, uh for him to help
Speaker 1: us get that win. Thanks coach. Thanks, We're gonna go
Speaker 1: to Paul Hendrick. Hey, Bret Um was shake too. I mean,
Speaker 1: I know, you guys talked about it, you know, being
Speaker 1: a healthy, you know thing yesterday the other day where
Speaker 1: you know that that's the kind of thing that happens.
Speaker 1: But was shaken seemed like a little bit out of
Speaker 1: character for him as well, because he always talk about
Speaker 1: how calm and how poisy was. How in that moment
Speaker 1: that you know, he kind of kind of working back
Speaker 1: to that. You know, that seemed like the shake Milton
Speaker 1: that we've kind of grown to know. Yeah, and we
Speaker 1: needed it, like any any time a player cannot make
Speaker 1: stuff up and they react to what the sports says.
Speaker 1: And he wasn't garden. They threw him the ball and
Speaker 1: he didn't think. He just shot it, and you know,
Speaker 1: shake for all of you. When I know you have
Speaker 1: you interview him and you listen to him, it's quite
Speaker 1: clear he's an articulate, intelligent young man. And the poise
Speaker 1: and kind of grace that he goes about his business
Speaker 1: with I think was reflected. You know in that moment.
Speaker 1: He just was very calm and took a lot of
Speaker 1: belief in himself and ended up maybe with one of
Speaker 1: the biggest shots of his career. Thanks Brett, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: take two more, starting with Mark mark Less Trout. You're Mike, Yes, Brent,
Speaker 1: I just wanted to ask you about the fourth quarter.
Speaker 1: Two games in a row. You've had a tough time defensively. Hey,
Speaker 1: how about that. Well, that's one way to comment on it.
Speaker 1: I think it stinks. I think it's not anything that
Speaker 1: we are or believe in or talk about. We were
Speaker 1: very lucky to win tonight, you know, when two closeout
Speaker 1: periods and then against Indiana it was forty six tonight
Speaker 1: it was forty three. That that is not going to
Speaker 1: get anything of any importance done. And the good news,
Speaker 1: like I told them, if you went and you you
Speaker 1: looked at genuinely looked at a roster and like felt
Speaker 1: like this team can't shoot, this team can't score. It's
Speaker 1: hard to like wind up things and fix that part
Speaker 1: of it. If it were true. It's not true. We
Speaker 1: will find ways to score. We've shown that both nights
Speaker 1: and so the bad news the numbers that I just said,
Speaker 1: the good news, it is well within our reach immediately
Speaker 1: to like flip the switch. We have to have an
Speaker 1: immediate paradigm shift and admittance that you know, we can't
Speaker 1: afford to pick and choose, and in the last two
Speaker 1: games we have done that. I give credit to both
Speaker 1: Indiana and certainly the Spurs tonight, like those guys scored,
Speaker 1: and you know their three scorers scored. But in general,
Speaker 1: it ain't gonna get it done. It's not who we
Speaker 1: are and it needs to be fixed, and fixed it
Speaker 1: will be, and it needs to start with the mentality.
Speaker 1: And I know our players understand that it's not like
Speaker 1: that speech I just gave as a mystery. This smart
Speaker 1: enough to know it to be true. I gotta respect
Speaker 1: that about the seventh yer head coach of the seventy
Speaker 1: six ers, Brett Brown him, it's the elation and excitement
Speaker 1: of a last second victory cap by Shake Milton with
Speaker 1: the game winning three pointer with seven point two seconds
Speaker 1: to go. He's also really speaking truths about some of
Speaker 1: the stuff that went down in tonight's game, namely the
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. Seventy Sixers gave up forty three points in
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, second straight games since returning in Orlando,
Speaker 1: that the Sixers have given up over forty points in
Speaker 1: the fourth period. For the Sixers to get to where
Speaker 1: they want to go, as Breton Brown said, that's not
Speaker 1: going to get it done. But Shake Milton did get
Speaker 1: it done tonight. Sixteen points for the young man, six
Speaker 1: of nine from the field, two for four from three.
Speaker 1: And I think in a perfect world, when you look
Speaker 1: at a game like this, was it easy on the
Speaker 1: eyes or your stomach and gut at times? No, Probably
Speaker 1: a lot of people young at their radios and TV.
Speaker 1: But in a perfect world, this could be what you
Speaker 1: hope is a character building win for the seventy Sixers.
Speaker 1: Not only they kind of have to battle and slog
Speaker 1: through it, Shake Milton had lots of reason to feel confident.
Speaker 1: I think it was great to see fur con Quark
Speaker 1: Mos hit some shots because he really wasn't making a
Speaker 1: lot of threes between the scrimmages and the first seeding
Speaker 1: game on Saturday, and also for the Sixers to find
Speaker 1: a way to get by without Ben Simmons. I mean
Speaker 1: Ben the box girls say he played twenty five minutes,
Speaker 1: but it was like you barely saw him out there
Speaker 1: because he was so hampered by fouls, and he fouled
Speaker 1: out with just over two minutes ten seconds to go,
Speaker 1: finishing with eight points, five rebounds. I big, your pardon,
Speaker 1: eight points, two rebounds and five assists. So the Sixers
Speaker 1: they had to find a way to get it done
Speaker 1: tonight against the desperate San Antonio team trying to get
Speaker 1: into the playoffs, and they did nice first victory in
Speaker 1: Orlando for the Sixers. Tom McGinnis had the call, great
Speaker 1: game winner by t mac Tom, And you're big takeaways
Speaker 1: from this one tonight with the seventy sixers getting back
Speaker 1: on track, Well, let's go to what I said, and
Speaker 1: Coach Brown echoed, I mean, and that is that shake
Speaker 1: took what was there, and you know you got it.
Speaker 1: Whether you're a second year guy just starting as the
Speaker 1: point guard, or you're in bed, or you're DeRozan or
Speaker 1: whomever you gotta do with what's there. You gotta take
Speaker 1: what's there and you don't hesitate, and you can be
Speaker 1: confident in your own ability. And that's exactly what happened.
Speaker 1: De Jontay Murray, you know, doubled and in bed didn't
Speaker 1: even have the ball. Yet you can't leave a guy
Speaker 1: wide open like that. And Shake then had a little
Speaker 1: bit of airspace and he made them pay. He stepped
Speaker 1: right into what was an open three and nailed it.
Speaker 1: And you saw him, Brian with that swagger, that confidence
Speaker 1: that he walked off the court with, and that's great
Speaker 1: to be able to celebrate like that. And then the
Speaker 1: Sixers getting to stop down the stretch, so as you said,
Speaker 1: not easy on the eyes, looked like it was going
Speaker 1: to slip away. And that's the thing like when you
Speaker 1: give an opportunity to a quality score like de Rosen
Speaker 1: or a scrappy team like the Spurs a chance to
Speaker 1: get back in the game, they're gonna take it. And
Speaker 1: as I've said so many times over the years, and
Speaker 1: this was give or take. I'm not even sure it
Speaker 1: could have even been in the third where the Sixers
Speaker 1: had an eight ten point lead and they came down
Speaker 1: and had four empty possessions and you're like, well, what's
Speaker 1: the death, there's sixteen minutes to go. Well, you score
Speaker 1: two or three of those possessions and instead of an
Speaker 1: eight ten point game, it's a sixteen point game or
Speaker 1: an eighteen point game, and you might knock him out
Speaker 1: of the box right there. It didn't happen. That was
Speaker 1: one little segment, but the Sixers were able to come back.
Speaker 1: I thought Himba played well. He could have played better.
Speaker 1: He did a decent job passing on the post. He
Speaker 1: was a little turnover prone, but you know, as you say,
Speaker 1: Ben was out of the mix with the foul difficulties.
Speaker 1: But you got solid performances from cork Mas and Netta
Speaker 1: at times. Horford Richardson played better obviously shake with the
Speaker 1: game when he shot, and Tobias with steadies. Well, lest
Speaker 1: we forget, Harris had a big baseline dunk off a
Speaker 1: feed by him bad and he made the spurs pace.
Speaker 1: So not perfect, not by any stretch, giving up one
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty points, forty three and the fourth, but
Speaker 1: you got the victory, and now you got Washington, and
Speaker 1: let's go. Let's get some confidence going, Let's get some continuity.
Speaker 1: If this is about being you know, solid in spirit,
Speaker 1: and health and play. You still got five games, six
Speaker 1: games with which to do it week and I have
Speaker 1: to go before the playoffs to try to be at
Speaker 1: your best. And I think that's the thing time. You
Speaker 1: hope that this is something that the the Sixers had to
Speaker 1: battle through tonight that could hopefully jump start them moving
Speaker 1: forward through these final six seeding games into the playoffs.
Speaker 1: And speaking of Shake, Milton walking off the court after
Speaker 1: hitting that shot, how nice was it to see the
Speaker 1: first person over to give him a leaping high five
Speaker 1: after that clutch basket? Right right? And I thought there
Speaker 1: was a couple of sequences where Shake got knocked down
Speaker 1: and Joel was right there and hey, look we've all
Speaker 1: had tips and that was not a good look in
Speaker 1: that game. But you know, even whether if it's within
Speaker 1: your family or your close friends or whatever, and you
Speaker 1: have to sometimes after a repair, if you will, you
Speaker 1: become stronger together. And obviously for this group to go forward,
Speaker 1: every single person has to be together, particularly in this
Speaker 1: situation in the bubble where it really is it's thirty
Speaker 1: seven people, fifteen players, the coaches, the staff, everybody together
Speaker 1: rooting for one another, and you know you're up against
Speaker 1: twenty one other teams, and obviously in the East nine
Speaker 1: teams and obviously coming up in the playoffs. But togetherness
Speaker 1: and unity and the ability to execute and delivered together
Speaker 1: is of paramount importance. A hardy time. We will talk
Speaker 1: to you on the earlier side on Wednesday when the
Speaker 1: seventy six Ers battle the Washington Wizards. All right, thank
Speaker 1: you in good night. Seventy Sixers outlast the San Antonio
Speaker 1: Spurs one thirty two to one thirty. Shake Milton finishes
Speaker 1: with sixteen. He has the last laugh, winning it on
Speaker 1: the three with seven point two seconds to go. Twenty
Speaker 1: seven points, nine rebounds, five times for Joel and b
Speaker 1: twenty five points, six rebounds, four assists are stealing a
Speaker 1: block for Tobias Harris, twelve for fur Con Korkmas off
Speaker 1: the bench, nineteen for Josh Richardson. That was also good
Speaker 1: to see on a night that Ben Simmons had to
Speaker 1: battle through foul trouble. Seventy Sixers San Antonio Spurs second
Speaker 1: seating game for the Sixers. They're looking to bounce back
Speaker 1: after a tough loss on Saturday. Shake Milton not much
Speaker 1: of a factor in that game. On Saturday versus the
Speaker 1: Indiana Pacers, but early on he showed some aggression in
Speaker 1: the first quarter. Five seconds ago. Milt with the ball
Speaker 1: shake on a drive, keeps it left hand. Scoop good
Speaker 1: with point, bread to go and it Bead helps him up.
Speaker 1: You gotta love it. Sixers lead after one thirty five
Speaker 1: thirty two. Great way to punctuate a strong first quarter
Speaker 1: by the seventy sixers, and in particular shake Milton not
Speaker 1: only good see him getting going early, but fellow backcourt
Speaker 1: starter Josh Richardson as well. Seventy six Ers up three
Speaker 1: thirty five thirty two after twelve minutes of play. In
Speaker 1: the second quarter of the seventy sixers, we're trying to
Speaker 1: put their stamp on the game, but the Spurs they
Speaker 1: wouldn't go awid quietly Joel and Bead was able to
Speaker 1: flex his muscle a couple times tonight. Now they're gonna
Speaker 1: get Richardson on an angle to throw it to Joelli
Speaker 1: goes against Tyler Zeller. It'd beat backing with seven on
Speaker 1: the shotgun, turns faces baked, sit up and go nice.
Speaker 1: Touched by a Bead. He's four of six from the field.
Speaker 1: He's got nine has the Sixers go off by four.
Speaker 1: Sixty to fifty six was the score. Then the seventy
Speaker 1: sixers held a narrow two point sixty four to sixty
Speaker 1: two lead at intermission. In the third quarter of the
Speaker 1: seventy Sixers wide the gap into double figures. They were
Speaker 1: starting to get wrong, even though Ben Simmons picked up
Speaker 1: his fourth personal foul sixteen seconds into the third. One
Speaker 1: thing that I kind of like to see in that
Speaker 1: third quarter fur Con Quark Moss seeing some shots go down.
Speaker 1: Simmons with the ball Sixers, a blue going left, the
Speaker 1: right out top Quarkbos. Simons screens fur Con for three
Speaker 1: and that's good. He got wide open. It will get
Speaker 1: his feet underneath them, and Quark Bos knocked out here.
Speaker 1: Second tray of the game, Sixers like ninety nine eighty seven.
Speaker 1: After three and the fourth quarter, Ben Simmons would return.
Speaker 1: Get a tough night, but this was a key basket day.
Speaker 1: On a drive, goes in on a beat and Joel
Speaker 1: blocked it. Simmons has a numbers for the Sixers four
Speaker 1: on two, then with another hand scoop ribbing good in
Speaker 1: the form of the ice man. Then Simmons with a
Speaker 1: finger roll and it's good. Seventy Sixers would lead by
Speaker 1: nine midway through the fourth quarter, but the Spurs would
Speaker 1: start the comeback charge led by DeMar DeRos and the Sixers.
Speaker 1: They needed a basket to keep themselves in front. Sixers
Speaker 1: big possession they lead by one. Shake Milton with a
Speaker 1: buff a screen by to bias. Milton, I'll top to it,
Speaker 1: beat inside, beat at the bias. He taps it up
Speaker 1: and then he didn't even captured. He's had it with
Speaker 1: the right head on his back to the basket and
Speaker 1: spores the ball terrific, claiming eighteen sixers just under four
Speaker 1: minutes to go and have the Spurs. From there, they
Speaker 1: went on a nine to two runs to the seventy sixers.
Speaker 1: They were trying to chip and claw their way back
Speaker 1: into it after trailing by four with under two minutes ago.
Speaker 1: Joell and Beat hits a big fadeaway, Tobias Harris gets
Speaker 1: a cutting dunk, and even though the seventy sixers were
Speaker 1: down two one twenty eight with ten and a half
Speaker 1: seconds to go, there was still enough time for one man,
Speaker 1: in particular, Richardson comes to the ball. They're looking to
Speaker 1: throw it in. Milton goes to Horford ho for back
Speaker 1: to shake Milton for three. Shot up, my god, he
Speaker 1: made it was six seconds to go and the Sixers
Speaker 1: have taken the lad He stepped right into a tree
Speaker 1: well beyond the arc, and the Sixers made a defensive
Speaker 1: stand in the ensuing possession. The officials reviewed and at
Speaker 1: a bound's call and overturned it in the seventy six
Speaker 1: ers favor, so dwell Embiid was fouled hit the first
Speaker 1: intentionally missed the second. Sixers win it one thirty two
Speaker 1: to one thirty against the Spurs to pick up their
Speaker 1: first win since the suspension. The Sixers now forty and
Speaker 1: twenty seven on the year. They shot fifty three percent
Speaker 1: from the field, held San Antonio to forty nine and
Speaker 1: a half percent overall. The Sixers fourteen of thirty one
Speaker 1: for forty five percent outside the arc. Spurs were twelve
Speaker 1: to twenty six for forty six percent. Seventy six or
Speaker 1: twenty six of thirty from the free throw line San
Speaker 1: Antonio twenty six of twenty nine. The Sixers overcame a
Speaker 1: minus nine differential on the glass, did a good job
Speaker 1: with turnovers tonight, limiting themselves to just thirteen. Big improvement
Speaker 1: from the twenty one turnovers in Saturday's loss, twenty seven
Speaker 1: points for Joel Embiid that was a team high. He
Speaker 1: also had nine rebounds, a team high, and he tied
Speaker 1: for the team lead in assists with five. Tobias Harris
Speaker 1: twenty five points, four assists, Shake Milton, as I mentioned,
Speaker 1: sixteen points, six and nine from the field, two to
Speaker 1: four from outside the arc, five rebounds and three assists,
Speaker 1: nineteen for Josh Richardson on three for eight from outside
Speaker 1: the arc. He also got to the line a bit
Speaker 1: twelve for fur con Quork Miles off the bench, Al
Speaker 1: Horford with an underrated nine points a night to go
Speaker 1: with six rebounds and three assists. Ben Simmons found out
Speaker 1: with two twelve to go. Just twenty five minutes played
Speaker 1: for him, and he finished with eight points on four
Speaker 1: for six shooting, two rebounds and five assists. Seventy six
Speaker 1: Ers will next play on Wednesday afternoon, a four o'clock
