After Orlando played 0:02:17.059 --> 0:02:20.139 in New York last night and lost the Sixers one 0:02:20.259 --> 0:02:22.459 in Charlotte, there will be a rematch here between these 0:02:22.459 --> 0:02:26.939 two teams. On Friday. Sixers played without Embiid, Paul George, 0:02:27.259 --> 0:02:32.619 Andre Drummond, and Kyle Lowry. Plo Bancaro remains out for Orlando, 0:02:32.779 --> 0:02:36.259 among others.

We will cross over 0:02:42.659 --> 0:02:44.939 with Tom McGuinness as well after the one OHO six 0:02:45.339 --> 0:02:50.219 one oh two loss for the Sixers. Plenty to come 0:02:51.099 --> 0:02:54.939 post game. We'll also have the audio highlights later on 0:02:55.259 --> 0:02:58.859 as well. Now, the Sixers were down by three with 0:02:59.019 --> 0:03:02.139 eight seconds left. I mean, if you were here, you know, 0:03:02.299 --> 0:03:05.579 But if you're just catching us, well, we'll run through 0:03:05.619 --> 0:03:08.699 the game in its entirety later on. But in the 0:03:08.699 --> 0:03:10.819 one oh three to one hundred game with the Orlando 0:03:10.899 --> 0:03:13.179 leading Tyrese Max. He took a running three after it 0:03:13.219 --> 0:03:17.539 looked like Orlando fouled him intentionally to put him on 0:03:17.539 --> 0:03:21.379 the line for two shots. They didn't call it and 0:03:21.659 --> 0:03:24.099 the Magic end up tacking on a few more points 0:03:24.179 --> 0:03:26.819 at the line. Sixers did have a lob to kJ 0:03:26.899 --> 0:03:28.739 Martin in the mix as well, hence the onezho six 0:03:28.779 --> 0:03:32.899 to one oh two final score, led by Franz Wagner 0:03:33.939 --> 0:03:38.699 and his thirty five points, his seventh thirty point game 0:03:38.739 --> 0:03:40.859 of the season. He had thirty on the number last 0:03:40.939 --> 0:03:45.619 night against the Knicks in a lopsided loss, but they 0:03:45.619 --> 0:03:49.619 have now won thirteen of fifteen despite the apps of 0:03:49.899 --> 0:03:53.539 ban Caro, who was a first time All Star last 0:03:53.619 --> 0:03:55.899 season and averaging twenty nine points per game for them, 0:03:55.899 --> 0:03:58.259 but he had only played in the first five games 0:03:58.299 --> 0:04:03.019 before suffering the torn oblique. Three players, including Bagner, had 0:04:03.059 --> 0:04:07.019 seven rebounds rebounding one of the many interesting columns here 0:04:07.059 --> 0:04:10.659 when you break down the box score. Because Orlando does 0:04:10.699 --> 0:04:14.819 have size at every position, they were attacking the offensive 0:04:14.859 --> 0:04:18.819 glass with sixteen offensive rebounds. They out rebounded the Sixers 0:04:19.179 --> 0:04:23.739 forty two thirty five, but second chance points were twenty 0:04:23.739 --> 0:04:27.539 three to eighteen in favor of the Sixers, who had 0:04:27.619 --> 0:04:32.819 six fewer offensive rebounds at ten, but Yabusele in the 0:04:32.859 --> 0:04:35.699 smaller starting front court with kJ Martin, he had seven rebounds, 0:04:35.699 --> 0:04:38.739 three on the offensive glass. Jared McCain had seven rebounds 0:04:38.779 --> 0:04:41.459 and a team high twenty four points for the Sixers, 0:04:41.499 --> 0:04:43.499 ten of seventeen from the field. He was back in 0:04:43.539 --> 0:04:47.299 the starting lineup he had started the previous seven games 0:04:47.299 --> 0:04:50.979 before Paul George returned into try. Paul George did not 0:04:51.219 --> 0:04:55.939 play tonight after logging heavy minutes in Charlotte, but we'll 0:04:55.979 --> 0:04:58.459 see who plays on Friday night when these two teams 0:04:58.539 --> 0:05:01.019 run it back. The Magic are sixteen and eight with 0:05:01.099 --> 0:05:05.779 a mostly road heavy schedule so far, and the Sixers 0:05:05.779 --> 0:05:10.739 are five and fifteen now on the season. Tonight game 0:05:10.779 --> 0:05:15.099 twenty in the books out of eighty two. All five 0:05:15.179 --> 0:05:19.219 Sixers starters in double figures. Second to McCain Maxi with 0:05:19.299 --> 0:05:22.579 sixteen Despite not making a three, He had six assists, 0:05:23.579 --> 0:05:26.979 a team high one off Anthony Blacks, game high for Orlando, 0:05:27.379 --> 0:05:31.499 fifteen apiece for Ubra and Yabu Sele, and eleven points 0:05:31.539 --> 0:05:34.259 for kJ Martin. Caleb Martin had nine off the bench. 0:05:35.339 --> 0:05:39.099 As we bring in Tom mcguinnis here, and let's start 0:05:39.139 --> 0:05:43.179 Tom with the Maxi sequence. Again, your perspective. We haven't 0:05:43.179 --> 0:05:45.579 gotten to talk about it yet. Three point game, the 0:05:45.659 --> 0:05:48.859 question always is will the team with the lead intentional 0:05:49.219 --> 0:05:51.339 foul because they're willing to give up the two points, 0:05:51.339 --> 0:05:53.379 And it looks like it looked like that was what 0:05:53.419 --> 0:05:56.259 their intention was, but it went uncalled. 0:05:56.659 --> 0:05:59.419 What did you think, Yeah, for sure, Anthony Black. First 0:05:59.419 --> 0:06:01.779 of all, Maxi sets up in the back court right, 0:06:01.859 --> 0:06:03.859 so the Sixers are inbounding on the side in the 0:06:03.859 --> 0:06:07.339 offensive end at the hash mark. Maxie's at the other 0:06:07.419 --> 0:06:09.939 end of the court, so he's at three quarters court, 0:06:10.099 --> 0:06:13.299 and because Ubre was having difficulty, he made his move 0:06:13.379 --> 0:06:15.779 into the front court, which he typically doesn't do until 0:06:15.819 --> 0:06:18.939 the ball is caught by a Yabusele or whomever the 0:06:18.939 --> 0:06:21.419 big is. In this case, he had to come and 0:06:21.459 --> 0:06:24.179 get it, and he did. He gets into the offensive end, 0:06:24.179 --> 0:06:26.619 he catches it, He's got the ball low, but beneath 0:06:26.659 --> 0:06:30.659 his knees he dribbles it and that's when Anthony Black, 0:06:30.779 --> 0:06:35.019 trying to implement that strategy, reaches And again I did 0:06:35.019 --> 0:06:38.259 not see the replay, but apparently he makes contact enough 0:06:38.339 --> 0:06:39.619 that it could have been and should have been, a 0:06:39.659 --> 0:06:43.539 foul call. And then Maxi goes on proceeds to take 0:06:43.579 --> 0:06:46.619 a running three. So having picked up the ball and 0:06:46.739 --> 0:06:49.699 begun his you know, like what they call his gather 0:06:50.219 --> 0:06:53.979 his shot motion, it conceivably could have been a three 0:06:54.019 --> 0:06:57.819 point attempt. No foul was called. Maxie goes on to 0:06:57.859 --> 0:07:01.099 shoot a running three, not enough arc on it, not 0:07:01.259 --> 0:07:04.739 enough oomph on it, And that, for all intentsive purposes, 0:07:04.859 --> 0:07:07.979 was the game. And Nick Nurse was furious. He felt 0:07:08.019 --> 0:07:11.259 like he was called again that the strategy's tough, because 0:07:11.659 --> 0:07:14.419 that right there is what if you're Orlando, that's the risk, 0:07:14.539 --> 0:07:17.579 right that you follow and send Maxie, an excellent free 0:07:17.579 --> 0:07:19.659 throw shooter to the line for three what could be 0:07:19.739 --> 0:07:23.539 game tying free throws. So at issue did Robert Hussey 0:07:23.699 --> 0:07:28.499 and the riff referees, Pedetritis and Aaron miss that call 0:07:29.019 --> 0:07:32.819 and that moment in the final seconds when the Sixers 0:07:32.819 --> 0:07:34.979 could have gotten three free throws to tie the game. 0:07:35.139 --> 0:07:37.379 Well, speaking of Nick Nurse, let's hear what he has 0:07:37.419 --> 0:07:38.139 to say postgame. 0:07:39.459 --> 0:07:41.059 You know, the zone, at least change that up a 0:07:41.059 --> 0:07:41.459 little bit. 0:07:42.459 --> 0:07:45.259 We talked so much about risks all all seat until 0:07:45.259 --> 0:07:47.939 that after out like a couple of games where shooting 0:07:48.019 --> 0:07:50.139 numbers dipped, see him snap out of that? 0:07:50.339 --> 0:07:53.099 Like what has been the key to sort of limiting that? 0:07:53.379 --> 0:07:54.059 Just a couple of dames. 0:07:54.139 --> 0:07:56.059 Yeah, I mean, I think it's just you know, he's 0:07:56.059 --> 0:07:58.139 a good shooter, but you know even good shooters have 0:07:58.259 --> 0:08:00.579 nights where it doesn't go in. And he's he's We've 0:08:00.579 --> 0:08:02.739 talked about his confidence and everything, and he's gonna keep 0:08:02.779 --> 0:08:05.619 firing him, which he should do. So it's good. I thought, guys, 0:08:05.739 --> 0:08:08.139 guys found him, found him for some good ones again, 0:08:08.179 --> 0:08:10.979 I thought he he he created some of them good 0:08:10.979 --> 0:08:12.059 ones for himself as well. 0:08:12.379 --> 0:08:15.059 I think you had a couple of Timestifer, You were 0:08:15.059 --> 0:08:16.859 pretty animated towards the officiating crew. 0:08:16.859 --> 0:08:18.979 I guess, how do you need picking shoes win to 0:08:19.019 --> 0:08:21.339 sort of be more expressive towards then? 0:08:21.659 --> 0:08:25.179 Well, the harder part now is that you pretty much 0:08:25.219 --> 0:08:28.219 get a replay or four right, so you get it 0:08:28.259 --> 0:08:30.219 on the big screen sometimes and then I check it 0:08:30.259 --> 0:08:32.539 with Botch. I'm never really gonna be that upset until 0:08:32.579 --> 0:08:34.979 I check it right, because I'm not gonna argue about 0:08:35.259 --> 0:08:38.099 I mean, I'm gonna be biased, right, that we never 0:08:38.179 --> 0:08:40.939 file and they always file right, but when I look, 0:08:41.099 --> 0:08:45.819 there was a couple of them that maybe should maybe 0:08:45.819 --> 0:08:48.059 should have went the other way, right from what I 0:08:48.059 --> 0:08:48.779 saw on the video. 0:08:49.179 --> 0:08:51.739 On that note, with some of the end of game sequences, 0:08:51.779 --> 0:08:54.619 what did you think of the three that Tyres tried 0:08:54.619 --> 0:08:57.339 to take with you guys down three in those final seconds? 0:08:58.579 --> 0:09:01.299 Yeah, I mean, listen, he broke through there, broke through 0:09:01.339 --> 0:09:04.059 the gap a little bit, and the secondary defender hit 0:09:04.139 --> 0:09:06.779 him on the arm, and that's what the video showed. 0:09:06.979 --> 0:09:08.619 Should have should have been three free throw, So it 0:09:08.659 --> 0:09:11.059 would have been a great play, right. 0:09:12.779 --> 0:09:16.499 And then slightly before that, you guys are down one 0:09:16.539 --> 0:09:20.139 and the shot clock is off. Should you guys have 0:09:20.179 --> 0:09:23.619 fouled sooner to give yourself more time? What did you 0:09:23.659 --> 0:09:25.379 think of how you guys handled that? 0:09:25.579 --> 0:09:27.739 Well, yeah, we should have probably a little bit. I 0:09:27.779 --> 0:09:31.739 mean again, Tyrese thought he was hitting away at somebody 0:09:31.739 --> 0:09:34.099 over there in the trap trying to file. They got 0:09:34.099 --> 0:09:35.979 it out of that trap, so we had to chase 0:09:35.979 --> 0:09:37.419 all the way over to the other side and file, 0:09:37.499 --> 0:09:39.659 so I mean we were trying to Yeah. 0:09:40.139 --> 0:09:41.419 Kind of a tough night of the line. 0:09:41.579 --> 0:09:43.819 Austen didn't tell the whole sword, but it was a 0:09:44.299 --> 0:09:45.619 four point game in the end. Yeah. 0:09:46.339 --> 0:09:48.739 Tough, tough, tough one man, right, you don't have that 0:09:48.819 --> 0:09:50.539 more urgent for air in a game like this if 0:09:50.539 --> 0:09:51.939 you want to win it, you got you know, you 0:09:51.939 --> 0:09:54.659 can't give those give all those points away like that. Yeah, 0:09:56.299 --> 0:09:57.059 the Dams game. 0:09:57.379 --> 0:09:59.859 This didn't seemed like he was hobbling in a lot 0:09:59.899 --> 0:10:00.579 of the game. 0:10:01.379 --> 0:10:01.579 Yeah. 0:10:02.339 --> 0:10:06.739 Yeah, I didn't get a report on it yet. Obviously 0:10:06.979 --> 0:10:09.339 wasn't moving great out there, which limited you know, it's 0:10:09.339 --> 0:10:11.019 why kind of way we got him back out of there. 0:10:11.259 --> 0:10:13.379 But uh, more on that for you later. 0:10:15.099 --> 0:10:16.659 Good, all right, thanks everybody. 0:10:18.579 --> 0:10:22.019 Nick Nurse, the Sixers head coach post game after a 0:10:22.339 --> 0:10:25.179 one oh six, one oh two loss at home to 0:10:25.299 --> 0:10:28.539 the Orlando Magic, Matt Murphy and Tom McGuinness on the 0:10:28.579 --> 0:10:30.979 seventy six Ers post game Show, which is presented by 0:10:31.099 --> 0:10:32.059 Parks Casino. 0:10:32.659 --> 0:10:34.219 So I'm glad that we we. 0:10:34.259 --> 0:10:38.299 Got his his opinion on some of these sequences that 0:10:38.339 --> 0:10:40.979 we were just talking about. Tom, And that's the end 0:10:41.019 --> 0:10:43.299 of what you kind of got to was, MAXI had 0:10:43.339 --> 0:10:45.699 the wherewithal two, put up the shot quick enough where 0:10:46.259 --> 0:10:48.659 and he said the video shows that it should have 0:10:48.659 --> 0:10:51.299 been a s shooting foul let alone, just Orlando giving 0:10:51.339 --> 0:10:53.699 the foully could have could have been a situation where 0:10:53.699 --> 0:10:56.899 Maxie was at the line shooting three free throws, just 0:10:56.979 --> 0:11:00.019 like Orlando, not a week ago, where he ties the 0:11:00.059 --> 0:11:03.059 game and sends it to possibly an overtime. 0:11:02.979 --> 0:11:06.779 Right, and coach pretty judicious about you know, not even 0:11:06.819 --> 0:11:08.699 getting close to the line and then going over. He 0:11:08.859 --> 0:11:11.659 just stopped, you know, which is smart. But yeah, I mean, 0:11:11.739 --> 0:11:14.819 like when the video shows it like it's almost like 0:11:14.859 --> 0:11:16.979 when you show a player, like somebody you know, a 0:11:17.059 --> 0:11:20.299 mistake and it's like they always say, the film doesn't lie, 0:11:20.819 --> 0:11:22.979 and that's you know, when you see the replay. And 0:11:23.019 --> 0:11:26.819 again I at the time, in the throes of describing 0:11:26.939 --> 0:11:29.819 I didn't see it. But apparently he fouled him and 0:11:29.859 --> 0:11:32.299 it was Anthony Black and it wasn't a secondary defender. 0:11:32.339 --> 0:11:35.099 That was the guy charged with guarding Maxie and his 0:11:35.179 --> 0:11:37.539 coach that he broke through. And by that he means, 0:11:37.579 --> 0:11:39.699 you know, cut from the back court into the front 0:11:39.699 --> 0:11:42.379 court to receive the ball. And yeah, look, those are 0:11:42.419 --> 0:11:44.539 tough calls, but that's you know, those are the calls 0:11:44.539 --> 0:11:46.539 that have to be made. If he fouls, he fouls, 0:11:47.059 --> 0:11:49.419 and that would have been a costly mistake for Orlando, 0:11:49.499 --> 0:11:52.219 provided that Maxi makes the free throws. And then, oh, 0:11:52.259 --> 0:11:54.579 by the way, the Magic still would have had give 0:11:54.659 --> 0:11:58.099 or take fourteen or so seconds with which to craft 0:11:58.299 --> 0:12:00.859 a go ahead play. So but the point is that 0:12:00.899 --> 0:12:02.939 I said the exact same thing. You know, when you 0:12:02.979 --> 0:12:05.979 miss eight free throws in a game where you're starved 0:12:05.979 --> 0:12:08.499 for offense, you don't even the Sixers average one hundred 0:12:08.499 --> 0:12:10.099 and five. They only had one hundred and two. They 0:12:10.099 --> 0:12:14.779 had eighty six November fifteenth against Orlando in Orlando, so 0:12:15.259 --> 0:12:17.739 and again they just they just don't have the offensive 0:12:17.979 --> 0:12:21.339 firepower to miss eight free throws and expect to win 0:12:21.379 --> 0:12:23.699 a game. So that wasn't the only thing. One of 0:12:23.699 --> 0:12:26.379 the things that I thought hurt the Sixers was Orlando 0:12:26.419 --> 0:12:29.539 had sixty four points in the pain and in the 0:12:29.899 --> 0:12:32.099 in the guts of a fourth quarter that was close. 0:12:32.219 --> 0:12:35.139 They just kept driving it and getting baskets. There were 0:12:35.179 --> 0:12:37.699 two or three times you saw this where the Sixers 0:12:37.739 --> 0:12:41.099 had three players around Batazi or three players around Window 0:12:41.179 --> 0:12:45.779 Clark Junior or Wendell Carter Junior, and Orlando was getting 0:12:45.819 --> 0:12:48.139 the rebound. The Sixers. It was just sometimes it was 0:12:48.179 --> 0:12:51.139 a matter of just the height, the simple fact that 0:12:51.219 --> 0:12:55.179 tarreed taller Jonathan Isaac, you know, even Wagner. You know 0:12:55.259 --> 0:12:58.219 the Sixers tallest players like Kelly Ooper. I think he's 0:12:58.259 --> 0:13:01.059 a slight, you know, wing player. 0:13:01.179 --> 0:13:03.299 Maybe it was on sixers and sixty when I joined 0:13:03.379 --> 0:13:05.939 D line them before this game, But when Nick Nurse 0:13:05.939 --> 0:13:08.019 told us pre game that they have height at every position, 0:13:08.059 --> 0:13:09.099 I was like, well except Suggs. 0:13:09.099 --> 0:13:09.619 Well, Suggs is. 0:13:09.619 --> 0:13:14.099 Six five and Max is six. McCain are six two 0:13:14.219 --> 0:13:16.059 six three. Guys, I've been. 0:13:16.059 --> 0:13:17.859 A tend to go with the coach, Murphy, I'd love 0:13:17.899 --> 0:13:20.379 to go with you many point go with the coach. 0:13:20.579 --> 0:13:23.219 But there the Magic, who will be here Friday as 0:13:23.259 --> 0:13:26.219 we look ahead to the rematch. They they are a 0:13:26.219 --> 0:13:28.459 little bit of an old school team in that sense. 0:13:28.499 --> 0:13:33.099 They're not jacking up threes. They're gritty, gritty, gritty defensively, 0:13:33.699 --> 0:13:37.859 to your point about defense, like the points per per 0:13:37.899 --> 0:13:40.019 game being one oh five for the Sixers, well points 0:13:40.059 --> 0:13:42.579 per one hundred possessions. The Magic limit teams to one 0:13:42.619 --> 0:13:45.459 oh five point one, which is the second fewest in 0:13:45.539 --> 0:13:48.579 the NBA, which gives them the second best rated defense 0:13:49.099 --> 0:13:49.699 in the NBA. 0:13:50.019 --> 0:13:52.699 So to your point Like, they shot twenty nine threes, 0:13:52.739 --> 0:13:55.419 which in today's NBA is on the low end, right, 0:13:55.899 --> 0:13:59.179 So they especially even with Ben Carro and again Wagner, 0:13:59.699 --> 0:14:02.699 he gets most of the same style of touches that 0:14:02.819 --> 0:14:05.819 Polo got. And they those guys not that they can't, 0:14:05.939 --> 0:14:08.099 you know, Franz Wagner not a very good he's a 0:14:08.139 --> 0:14:11.979 thirty percent three point shooter. But they play oftentimes from 0:14:12.099 --> 0:14:15.499 falling extended in so it's not like back in the day, 0:14:15.539 --> 0:14:17.779 you know, from the fall line in the paint, but 0:14:17.899 --> 0:14:21.299 like they're playing close to the basket. They they can, 0:14:21.379 --> 0:14:24.099 they both have size, they both have one on one ability. 0:14:24.179 --> 0:14:27.779 Speaking of Ban Carrow and Franz Wagner, and they're gonna 0:14:27.899 --> 0:14:31.259 it's it's almost like a smash mouth type style. And 0:14:31.539 --> 0:14:34.899 uh yeah, Colbell Pope's on a tear from three. He 0:14:35.019 --> 0:14:37.459 made the big free throws to add the difference. Wagner 0:14:37.499 --> 0:14:40.739 went ten for ten. You know, they only missed five. 0:14:40.779 --> 0:14:44.819 They shot twenty one. So again, tough loss, a great effort, 0:14:44.899 --> 0:14:48.019 great you know, but no moral victories. In the sixers, 0:14:48.459 --> 0:14:51.659 there's a you know, like the Houston game was close, 0:14:52.099 --> 0:14:54.459 but you almost you know, Houston had the edge most 0:14:54.499 --> 0:14:57.259 of the game, I realized it went to overtime. Same 0:14:57.299 --> 0:15:00.859 thing with this game, great opportunity, but Orlando had the 0:15:00.979 --> 0:15:04.739 edge for almost the entire fourth quarter. Uh So it's 0:15:04.819 --> 0:15:08.059 just a matter the Sixers just almost it's almost like 0:15:08.099 --> 0:15:10.499 a war of attrition. They just don't have enough bodies 0:15:10.539 --> 0:15:14.059 and points to get them over the tough top. And 0:15:14.139 --> 0:15:17.539 it's another hard fought, tough loss here at home. 0:15:18.379 --> 0:15:21.659 When when people say, oh, Orlando doesn't have Ben Carroll, 0:15:21.699 --> 0:15:23.699 well that really hasn't mattered that much for them. Well, 0:15:23.739 --> 0:15:27.019 the Sixers didn't have Paul George, Joel Embiid, Andre Drummond, 0:15:27.059 --> 0:15:31.459 and Kyle Lowry tonight and we'll see about Friday. But 0:15:31.699 --> 0:15:34.139 it was encouraging that Embiid was out here running the 0:15:34.179 --> 0:15:35.819 sidelines before this game. 0:15:35.899 --> 0:15:39.059 Ten. Yeah, and he shot. I watched him shoot. The 0:15:39.099 --> 0:15:41.299 Sixers were going to have a kind of a walk 0:15:41.379 --> 0:15:44.699 through or maybe it was closed for Joel, but you know, 0:15:44.779 --> 0:15:48.299 he shot against a lot of the coaches, and you 0:15:48.339 --> 0:15:51.459 know he was shots left and right. But again, one 0:15:51.499 --> 0:15:53.699 of the things they look at when a player has, 0:15:54.019 --> 0:15:57.219 you know, a situation like that, is how he reacts 0:15:57.259 --> 0:16:00.339 to today's work out. In other words, what's it like tomorrow, 0:16:00.939 --> 0:16:03.339 and so that's what they'll they'll look at. 0:16:03.379 --> 0:16:04.979 So now they'll try to build off this that these 0:16:05.019 --> 0:16:07.419 Orlando games feel like playoff games with their style. And 0:16:07.459 --> 0:16:09.219 now it's two in a row against them, so it's 0:16:09.259 --> 0:16:11.459 like we're in the Eastern Conference playoffs at this point 0:16:11.459 --> 0:16:13.699 with the Sixers and the Magic, and we'll have that 0:16:13.979 --> 0:16:17.419 on Friday night tom againness thank you as always, one 0:16:17.419 --> 0:16:21.739 o six, one oh two magic in round one of 0:16:21.779 --> 0:16:25.139 two this week with the next game coming up, separated 0:16:25.179 --> 0:16:29.019 by one day in between, but it's the Magic that 0:16:29.099 --> 0:16:33.139 get their sixteenth win of the season, sixteen and eight 0:16:33.219 --> 0:16:36.779 six Ers five and fifteen after the four point loss 0:16:37.459 --> 0:16:41.499 game that was tied going to the fourth quarter. And 0:16:41.579 --> 0:16:45.459 we'll break things down further when we come back and 0:16:45.659 --> 0:16:49.499 out the stat of the game, go through some of 0:16:49.539 --> 0:16:53.059 the other team stats, particularly on the defensive side with 0:16:53.139 --> 0:16:56.619 two scrappy defensive teams here in the in the twenty 0:16:56.659 --> 0:16:59.619 twenty four to twenty five NBA season.

Will have a few more 0:17:50.779 --> 0:17:55.059 stats and then the highlights key plays with Tom mcguinness's 0:17:55.179 --> 0:17:59.339 calls from this game against one of the top teams 0:17:59.339 --> 0:18:02.059 in the East on the season, the Orlando Magic, and 0:18:02.139 --> 0:18:05.459 even without Pallo, they have been winning. It's thirteen of 0:18:05.619 --> 0:18:10.379 fifteen now. Franz Wagner has been the one leading the way. 0:18:10.899 --> 0:18:14.699 Twenty of his game high thirty five points came in 0:18:14.739 --> 0:18:18.979 the second half, ten for ten at the line. They 0:18:19.059 --> 0:18:21.299 shot just eight of twenty nine from three, and they 0:18:21.299 --> 0:18:24.459 win the game by four despite not making a three 0:18:24.699 --> 0:18:28.459 in the fourth quarter. They went zero for seven from 0:18:28.539 --> 0:18:33.099 three in the fourth. They did out rebound the Sixers 0:18:33.139 --> 0:18:35.699 forty two to thirty five in the game. And I 0:18:35.779 --> 0:18:39.979 mentioned a defensive stat to follow after the break, and 0:18:40.059 --> 0:18:45.059 it is thirteen steals for the Magic. The Sixers had nine, 0:18:45.099 --> 0:18:47.459 which is right on their average for fifth in the 0:18:47.619 --> 0:18:51.699 NBA coming into today, but Orlando was ahead of them 0:18:52.339 --> 0:18:58.019 with not double digits, but just a few more decimals, 0:18:58.019 --> 0:19:01.739 a few more tenths and they go for thirteen steals. 0:19:01.739 --> 0:19:04.059 They were top three in the NBA and steals per game. 0:19:04.699 --> 0:19:07.699 A great defensive unit that the Sixers will see again 0:19:08.539 --> 0:19:11.139 Friday night here as they will look to bounce back 0:19:11.139 --> 0:19:13.099 and pick up what would be their sixth win of 0:19:13.099 --> 0:19:17.539 the year. Now past the twenty game point in the 0:19:17.659 --> 0:19:20.019 NBA season, Magic are sixteen and eight, six Ers are 0:19:20.419 --> 0:19:23.259 five and fifteen. They were led in scoring by Jared 0:19:23.339 --> 0:19:26.739 McCain twenty four points as a starter, team high tying 0:19:26.819 --> 0:19:29.859 seven rebounds three assists as well. He went three for 0:19:29.979 --> 0:19:32.579 six from three, as the Sixers went eleven for thirty 0:19:32.579 --> 0:19:35.819 as a team thirty seven percent. Despite Maxi shooting zero 0:19:35.819 --> 0:19:39.539 for seven from three, he was seven for nineteen overall 0:19:39.619 --> 0:19:43.899 sixteen points, six assists. He had four of the fourteen turnovers, 0:19:43.899 --> 0:19:47.299 so did McCain. So the backcourt with eight of the fourteen. 0:19:47.779 --> 0:19:49.859 Two starters for the Magic had four turnovers as well 0:19:49.899 --> 0:19:54.219 their point guard Jalen Suggs and the leading scorer, Franz Wagner, 0:19:54.499 --> 0:19:57.419 on his thirty five point night, his seventh thirty point 0:19:57.459 --> 0:19:59.499 game of the season, his second in as many nights 0:19:59.499 --> 0:20:02.939 as both of these teams played. Last night, the Magic 0:20:03.619 --> 0:20:06.899 a blowout loss in which they trailed by thirty six 0:20:06.939 --> 0:20:12.219 points to the Knicks. Sixers off a win by six 0:20:12.259 --> 0:20:15.179 points in Charlotte, that they can't stack up what would 0:20:15.179 --> 0:20:19.259 have been their third win of third win in a row, 0:20:19.859 --> 0:20:21.619 So they'll have to try to get back in the 0:20:21.619 --> 0:20:26.259 win column against this same team on Friday. And we'll 0:20:26.339 --> 0:20:29.299 keep an eye on the injury report before the game, 0:20:29.379 --> 0:20:33.379 since Paul George didn't play last night or didn't play tonight. 0:20:33.459 --> 0:20:37.699 Before the game, Nick Nurse said that it wasn't primarily 0:20:37.739 --> 0:20:40.739 because of the heavy minutes that he played last night, 0:20:40.779 --> 0:20:42.619 and he talked about how it would lead to opportunity 0:20:42.619 --> 0:20:46.619 for Kelly Oubrey Junior, who ends up with fifteen points. 0:20:46.619 --> 0:20:50.539 But let's hear all of the highhighlights of this game 0:20:51.859 --> 0:20:56.539 as it sounded as called by Tom McGuinness. The Sixers 0:20:56.579 --> 0:20:59.979 and Magic, Part one of two this week in Philadelphia, 0:21:00.019 --> 0:21:03.259 with the Sixers in blue, the Magic in platinum or 0:21:03.619 --> 0:21:09.179 light gray uniforms. Brandon Graham of the Eagles was in 0:21:09.299 --> 0:21:12.379 the house. Might even hear him mentioned in one of 0:21:12.379 --> 0:21:15.499 the calls coming up as he was seated along the 0:21:15.499 --> 0:21:19.779 baseline to the right. The Sixers without Embiid, George Drummond 0:21:19.779 --> 0:21:24.459 and Lowry against the Magic without Paolo and Gary Harris. 0:21:25.579 --> 0:21:30.179 They the Sixers started Maxi and McCain with Oubra, kJ 0:21:30.379 --> 0:21:34.539 Martin and Gershan Yabu Sele. They started the game six 0:21:34.779 --> 0:21:38.419 nothing before Orlando would tie it at eleven, and in 0:21:38.499 --> 0:21:41.259 between it was Yabu Sele to put them up for 0:21:41.659 --> 0:21:42.859 eleven to seven. 0:21:43.059 --> 0:21:45.739 Six Ers by a point. Maxi to the corner, Yabusele 0:21:45.939 --> 0:21:49.499 for three from there and that's good. Gershan inside and 0:21:49.779 --> 0:21:52.459 out getting it done for the Sixers makes his seven 0:21:52.579 --> 0:21:55.699
