WEBVTT - The BroadCast: 12/28/2017 - Rewind vs. Trail Blazers

0:00:02.920 --> 0:00:07.080
<v Speaker 1>Man. Midway through the third quarter of Thursday's game at

0:00:07.080 --> 0:00:10.120
<v Speaker 1>Moda Center, things were looking really good for the seventy Sixers,

0:00:10.200 --> 0:00:14.120
<v Speaker 1>leading by as many as eighteen points seventy eight to sixty.

0:00:14.200 --> 0:00:16.639
<v Speaker 1>They were still in front by fourteen at the outside

0:00:16.640 --> 0:00:21.680
<v Speaker 1>of the fourth, and then things changed dramatically. The Portland

0:00:21.680 --> 0:00:26.560
<v Speaker 1>Trailblazers would go on to score a string of twenty

0:00:27.920 --> 0:00:30.880
<v Speaker 1>consecutive points, a twenty three to two run overall that

0:00:31.000 --> 0:00:34.239
<v Speaker 1>turned the tide of the game at Moda Center and

0:00:34.320 --> 0:00:37.040
<v Speaker 1>allowed them to emerge on top one fourteen to one

0:00:37.200 --> 0:00:40.519
<v Speaker 1>ten and knock off the seventy Sixers. Brian Seltzer, with

0:00:40.600 --> 0:00:42.919
<v Speaker 1>you staying up late for the postgame show, thank you

0:00:42.960 --> 0:00:46.000
<v Speaker 1>for checking it out. One fourteen one ten was the

0:00:46.040 --> 0:00:50.320
<v Speaker 1>final score, a forty two point fourth quarter from Shabazz Napier.

0:00:50.880 --> 0:00:54.160
<v Speaker 1>CJ McCollum use of narkis. The rest of the Portland

0:00:54.160 --> 0:00:57.640
<v Speaker 1>Trailblazers out does the Sixers. In game number three or

0:00:57.640 --> 0:01:00.360
<v Speaker 1>five game road trip, Joel Embiad had his months with

0:01:00.360 --> 0:01:03.760
<v Speaker 1>twenty nine points, nine rebounds a career best six three pointers.

0:01:04.080 --> 0:01:06.880
<v Speaker 1>Dario Scharitch was real steady throughout the night twenty five

0:01:06.920 --> 0:01:11.479
<v Speaker 1>points nine rebounds, four assists. Simmons, he had stretches of dominance.

0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:15.280
<v Speaker 1>Seventeen points for him eight assists, four rebounds was not

0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:18.200
<v Speaker 1>as present in the waning moments of the game, when

0:01:18.240 --> 0:01:22.720
<v Speaker 1>the Trailblazers were able to seize control and turn things

0:01:22.760 --> 0:01:26.080
<v Speaker 1>against the Sixers for a furious come from behind victory

0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:29.080
<v Speaker 1>one fourteen, one ten. The final back out to the

0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:33.679
<v Speaker 1>Pacific Northwest we go Tom McGinnis rejoining us now. Tom,

0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:35.480
<v Speaker 1>We talked during the pregame about how one of the

0:01:35.480 --> 0:01:37.840
<v Speaker 1>objectives for the Sixers tonight was trying to build upon

0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:41.959
<v Speaker 1>the good they accomplished Monday in New York City on Christmas.

0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:44.920
<v Speaker 1>It seemed like they were there and those turnovers which

0:01:44.959 --> 0:01:47.680
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers were doing such a good job of keeping

0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:49.920
<v Speaker 1>under wrap for the better part of this game. They

0:01:50.000 --> 0:01:52.080
<v Speaker 1>came back in that fourth quarter when they just couldn't

0:01:52.120 --> 0:01:54.680
<v Speaker 1>get the shots to fall well, and they came back

0:01:54.720 --> 0:01:57.240
<v Speaker 1>in the l eight third as well. As we stipulated

0:01:57.320 --> 0:02:01.160
<v Speaker 1>earlier during our postgame coverage, the Sixers had five when

0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:03.920
<v Speaker 1>they were up by eighteen. They finished the game with fourteen.

0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:06.280
<v Speaker 1>So during that spell, as you say, have a twenty

0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:10.120
<v Speaker 1>two offensive run for Portland and then in the fourth

0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:13.840
<v Speaker 1>even later, the Sixers ended up with nine during that stretch,

0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:16.720
<v Speaker 1>and so it became again, you're not just turning the

0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:20.040
<v Speaker 1>ball over and giving them run out opportunities, You're negating

0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:23.640
<v Speaker 1>yourself an opportunity for a possession and potential points. That

0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:28.360
<v Speaker 1>plus the foul disparity was just telling in this game, Brian,

0:02:28.400 --> 0:02:30.840
<v Speaker 1>what they ended up shooting forty nine free throws. It

0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:34.040
<v Speaker 1>was just a tremendous different day. Out rebounded the Sixers

0:02:34.080 --> 0:02:37.320
<v Speaker 1>by ten, and just a disheartening defeat for the Sixers

0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:39.600
<v Speaker 1>to build up that lead, to have the momentum and

0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:42.560
<v Speaker 1>once again watch it dissipate and have a turn into

0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:45.600
<v Speaker 1>a loss for the Sixers. To Portland's credit, on a

0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:48.200
<v Speaker 1>night they were without two time All Star Damian Lillard,

0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:52.200
<v Speaker 1>manned their backcourt come through with Napier and McCollum. And

0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:55.200
<v Speaker 1>while Nurkic might not have had the biggest first half,

0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:57.680
<v Speaker 1>he ended up with a great line over all twenty

0:02:57.720 --> 0:03:00.800
<v Speaker 1>one points, twelve rebounds, and he was able to start

0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:03.639
<v Speaker 1>to make his presence felt as the game went along too. Yeah,

0:03:03.639 --> 0:03:05.600
<v Speaker 1>and I thought he had an up and down game.

0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:08.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he got mad that he got called for

0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:11.560
<v Speaker 1>a foul, but it was his face boring into that

0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:14.520
<v Speaker 1>of t J. McConnell's cheek that ended up getting that

0:03:14.680 --> 0:03:16.760
<v Speaker 1>nose injury or whatever. He had ended up with a

0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:19.360
<v Speaker 1>bandage on it, and then because he didn't get a foul,

0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:22.960
<v Speaker 1>he didn't change ends and then ended up following Robert

0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:24.640
<v Speaker 1>coving You know, Brian, now that I think of it,

0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:26.720
<v Speaker 1>that might have been when Covington hurt his hand, now

0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:28.800
<v Speaker 1>that I think of it, that that was weird, weird

0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:31.200
<v Speaker 1>the way he went over it was by their sideline

0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:34.239
<v Speaker 1>in front of the Portland bench, on the fire sideline

0:03:34.240 --> 0:03:37.040
<v Speaker 1>from our bandage point. He really chopped at Robert Covington.

0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:42.040
<v Speaker 1>It was It was really unusual, and he ended up

0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:45.080
<v Speaker 1>leaving the game, but obviously came back, and that's right

0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:47.080
<v Speaker 1>around the time where Covington left the game and did

0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:50.200
<v Speaker 1>not return. So he scored his points. He was up

0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:52.560
<v Speaker 1>and down off the line, but he was not really

0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:55.800
<v Speaker 1>that impressive to me. He did have some moments during

0:03:55.840 --> 0:03:59.120
<v Speaker 1>when they led defensively against him be where he had

0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:02.240
<v Speaker 1>a couple of blocks. That part was impressive, but really

0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:06.200
<v Speaker 1>to your point about McCollum, but he is really really good.

0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:09.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you know, the game it seems as though

0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:11.600
<v Speaker 1>big guys have an advantage, but not when you got

0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:15.280
<v Speaker 1>skills like CJ. McCollum and Damian Lillard, and like I said,

0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:18.200
<v Speaker 1>to a lesser extent, Napier, he played like a mini

0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:21.400
<v Speaker 1>Lillard in this game. He had a very impressive game,

0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:24.280
<v Speaker 1>so fast off the bouts, so hard to guard, so

0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:26.560
<v Speaker 1>hard for Sixers players to keep in front of them,

0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:29.000
<v Speaker 1>and they helped turn the tide as much as anybody.

0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:33.040
<v Speaker 1>Sixers lose in Portland Tonight one fourteen one ten split

0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:36.200
<v Speaker 1>the two game season series. Ben Simmons tom he had

0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:38.919
<v Speaker 1>stretches in that second quarter in the third where he

0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:41.200
<v Speaker 1>was able to essentially get one he wanted, driving to

0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:43.840
<v Speaker 1>the rack and down the stretch. It seemed like Portland

0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:46.039
<v Speaker 1>maybe keying in on him, and then the rookie going

0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:48.400
<v Speaker 1>through some things as this one got away right. He

0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:51.080
<v Speaker 1>started out one of five, then like you say, in

0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:53.159
<v Speaker 1>the second he really started to drive the boy. He

0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:56.800
<v Speaker 1>makes three field goals in a row, but they sag

0:04:56.960 --> 0:05:00.000
<v Speaker 1>off of him, daring him to take the outside shot.

0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:02.440
<v Speaker 1>And yet he's still at times able to get to

0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:05.960
<v Speaker 1>the basket, even with a defender getting into the lane

0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:09.120
<v Speaker 1>and giving him that much room. But as you say,

0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:11.880
<v Speaker 1>late in the game, they pack the paint, they send help,

0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:14.240
<v Speaker 1>and that's what happens. Oh, by the way, like in

0:05:14.279 --> 0:05:17.200
<v Speaker 1>a postseason game where you're not getting to the wreck,

0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:20.000
<v Speaker 1>you're forced to take outside shots, and a team that

0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:23.839
<v Speaker 1>has an inability to shoot in the postseason from afire,

0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:27.800
<v Speaker 1>it's real difficult sledding. It's very difficult. That's why you see.

0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:31.000
<v Speaker 1>You know, Brett Brown calls the postseason a whole different game,

0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:33.840
<v Speaker 1>and that's a little bit of a microcosm of I

0:05:34.040 --> 0:05:37.800
<v Speaker 1>think what happened in the fourth quarter. And yeah, it's

0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:40.240
<v Speaker 1>tough because and Dari who had a terrific game. I

0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:43.880
<v Speaker 1>think we should totally mention how solid he was for

0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:46.520
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers. Reddick after a two point first half, came

0:05:46.560 --> 0:05:49.600
<v Speaker 1>on big in the second half. But you know, you

0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:53.880
<v Speaker 1>need multiple options, particularly when that clock gets late and

0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:57.599
<v Speaker 1>Ben still has the ball, So that's certainly something to

0:05:57.640 --> 0:06:00.880
<v Speaker 1>work through. I thought Joel was he had those threes,

0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:04.320
<v Speaker 1>two were late, the one was a lucky bank shot

0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:07.560
<v Speaker 1>from thirty six feet, but still cut the gap down

0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:09.960
<v Speaker 1>the stretch. And then he in that one on one

0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:12.279
<v Speaker 1>battle when he again I made the comment when he

0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:15.440
<v Speaker 1>tries to draw fouls and then the foul's not there.

0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:18.800
<v Speaker 1>Now he's put himself in an off balance position and

0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:21.520
<v Speaker 1>trying to hit a bank shot from twelve to fourteen

0:06:21.560 --> 0:06:25.440
<v Speaker 1>feet difficult to make even on balance against a good defender,

0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:28.240
<v Speaker 1>let alone, like I said, when you're leaning and your

0:06:28.279 --> 0:06:31.120
<v Speaker 1>shoulders aren't square and your off balance, and he got

0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:34.479
<v Speaker 1>himself into that type of predicament multiple times when he

0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:36.719
<v Speaker 1>didn't get called or get the call if you will.

0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:39.560
<v Speaker 1>So again, a tough takeaway for the Sixers to come

0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:42.920
<v Speaker 1>out here and play so well in the second, well

0:06:43.040 --> 0:06:45.000
<v Speaker 1>from the beginning of the game really into the third,

0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:47.960
<v Speaker 1>and then again to have this occur where a big

0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:50.599
<v Speaker 1>league gets away and you end up with a loss

0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:54.360
<v Speaker 1>during a tough stretch record wise for the Sixers. Hard

0:06:54.400 --> 0:06:56.400
<v Speaker 1>to take. And it's on to the next one now

0:06:56.480 --> 0:06:59.479
<v Speaker 1>for the Sixers, will be on Saturday in the Mile

0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:02.279
<v Speaker 1>High City against the Denver Nuggets, a team that quietly

0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:05.760
<v Speaker 1>time has compiled a pretty decent record at nineteen and sixteen,

0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:08.720
<v Speaker 1>sixth in the Western Conference. They've been going it without

0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:10.800
<v Speaker 1>their all star Paul Millsap, who they picked up in

0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:12.920
<v Speaker 1>the offseason. And this is a team that can shoot

0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:16.160
<v Speaker 1>the three and is pretty balanced well. And we talk

0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:19.600
<v Speaker 1>about Nurkics. They traded him because they had a player

0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:23.680
<v Speaker 1>better than him. His name is Nikolai Yoki, and that

0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:28.000
<v Speaker 1>with the young player Murray and Gary Harris, and I

0:07:28.040 --> 0:07:30.280
<v Speaker 1>just mentioned Will Barton had twenty eight in an overtime

0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:34.640
<v Speaker 1>defeat last night in Minneapolis and totally under the radar,

0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:37.680
<v Speaker 1>but in the mix. In the West, always a difficult

0:07:37.680 --> 0:07:39.280
<v Speaker 1>place to play. It's been a hard place for the

0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:41.880
<v Speaker 1>Sixers to win. And as you say, first of a

0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:43.640
<v Speaker 1>back to back, as they chare out for travel out

0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:47.920
<v Speaker 1>to Denver to meet the Nuggets. Tom until Saturday. Thank you, Brian,

0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:51.120
<v Speaker 1>good night, good morning. Indeed one fourteen, one ten the

0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:54.920
<v Speaker 1>final score Portland a forty two to twenty five fourth

0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:58.160
<v Speaker 1>quarter effort over the seventy sixers and beat with twenty

0:07:58.240 --> 0:08:01.760
<v Speaker 1>nine and nine. Dario Starch excellent with twenty five points

0:08:01.880 --> 0:08:06.600
<v Speaker 1>five three pointers, Simmons finishing with seventeen four and eight,

0:08:07.080 --> 0:08:10.200
<v Speaker 1>But it was the likes of Shaba's Napier twenty three points,

0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:13.119
<v Speaker 1>fifteen of them coming in the fourth quarter and CJ

0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:15.880
<v Speaker 1>McCollum with the game best thirty four helping get the

0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:19.520
<v Speaker 1>Portland Trailblazers past the seventy Sixers, a game in which

0:08:19.600 --> 0:08:22.840
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers led by as much as eighteen. Well, here's

0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:25.520
<v Speaker 1>some of Tom's highlight calls coming up on the other side.

0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:28.560
<v Speaker 1>This is the postgame show on the Sixers Radio Network.

0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:37.800
<v Speaker 1>Seventy Sixers got a nice win on Monday on the

0:08:37.840 --> 0:08:40.280
<v Speaker 1>second game of their five game road trip on to

0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:43.439
<v Speaker 1>the Western Conference. Now for the next three games. Brian

0:08:43.480 --> 0:08:46.120
<v Speaker 1>Seltzer with you from Sixers dot Com. Final segment of

0:08:46.160 --> 0:08:49.240
<v Speaker 1>the postgame show. Here is how this one went tonight.

0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:52.600
<v Speaker 1>The seventy Sixers got a nice boost early on behind

0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:55.200
<v Speaker 1>Joel and Beads, taking them to an early thirteen to

0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:58.040
<v Speaker 1>six lead, and bead relying on his outside shot to

0:08:58.080 --> 0:09:01.840
<v Speaker 1>help the Sixers cause. TJ McConnell closing off the first

0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:05.160
<v Speaker 1>quarter in fine form. Sixers can get a two for

0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:07.520
<v Speaker 1>one here. Here's t J McConnell in the lay stop

0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:11.360
<v Speaker 1>baseline left pull up, got it from fifteen. McConnell swerves

0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:14.960
<v Speaker 1>and squares up. Nobody was on a baseline left and

0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:18.080
<v Speaker 1>he puts it in. T J McConnell with four points,

0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:21.920
<v Speaker 1>two assistant a rebound. TJ McConnell doing some nice scoring

0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:24.720
<v Speaker 1>for the Sixers. As of late, Sixers were in front

0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:27.960
<v Speaker 1>thirty to twenty seven going into quarter number two, and

0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:30.360
<v Speaker 1>very quickly the Sixers got one of the top highlights

0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:33.600
<v Speaker 1>of the night. And here's the steel by McConnell. Drive

0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:36.240
<v Speaker 1>me Domina. He goes to it beat and there's a jab.

0:09:36.559 --> 0:09:39.280
<v Speaker 1>There's a two point brod out by Joel at Bea

0:09:39.840 --> 0:09:44.440
<v Speaker 1>as TJ. McConnell completely harassing Napier out top plucks it

0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:48.000
<v Speaker 1>away for the steel and it beat follows with a slam.

0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:50.719
<v Speaker 1>Not too long after that, these seventy sixers, other All

0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:55.160
<v Speaker 1>Star candidate Ben Simmons took over. Simmons stop starts, goes

0:09:55.200 --> 0:09:57.160
<v Speaker 1>into the lane of artless, turns back to the right,

0:09:57.160 --> 0:10:00.240
<v Speaker 1>shoots at left handed at in Ben Simmons came king

0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:04.560
<v Speaker 1>over on offense forty to thirty seven and Simmons has

0:10:04.600 --> 0:10:07.000
<v Speaker 1>now hit his last three in a row. He would

0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:11.240
<v Speaker 1>score eight in succession during that stretch. Sixers lighted initially

0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:13.840
<v Speaker 1>fifty one forty nine going towards the half, but the

0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:17.360
<v Speaker 1>Trailblazers scored the final three points of the second quarter.

0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:20.480
<v Speaker 1>They were up fifty two fifty one going into intermission,

0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:23.720
<v Speaker 1>but after Portland scored first opened the scoring in half

0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:27.040
<v Speaker 1>number two. That is when Dario Schartz, Joel and bad

0:10:27.080 --> 0:10:30.520
<v Speaker 1>Ben Simmons, JJ Raddick. Everyone was seeing the ball go

0:10:30.640 --> 0:10:32.800
<v Speaker 1>through the hoop and that was a good thing. Simmons

0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:35.360
<v Speaker 1>in particular. Here's Raddick in the Ben Simmons around one

0:10:35.360 --> 0:10:38.560
<v Speaker 1>man puts it up and the turner Sandwich down low,

0:10:38.880 --> 0:10:42.079
<v Speaker 1>couldn't get help from Abino and Ben with another drive,

0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:45.240
<v Speaker 1>good feed by the Sixers. Ben Simmons down the right

0:10:45.280 --> 0:10:49.439
<v Speaker 1>side banks at fourteen points for Ben Terry Stots with

0:10:49.520 --> 0:10:52.640
<v Speaker 1>a timeout that probably should have occurred. Two possessions to go,

0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:55.760
<v Speaker 1>and the Sixers with the free throw from Simmons after

0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:57.880
<v Speaker 1>the time out, would lead at sixty seven to fifty.

0:10:57.920 --> 0:11:00.920
<v Speaker 1>Five minutes later, Dario Schartz scored five straight, putting the

0:11:00.960 --> 0:11:04.280
<v Speaker 1>Sixers up a game high margin of seventy eight two sixty.

0:11:04.320 --> 0:11:07.640
<v Speaker 1>Now the Trailblazers snapped off a seven nothing run to

0:11:07.679 --> 0:11:10.960
<v Speaker 1>make it a single digit game, but the Sixers closed

0:11:11.000 --> 0:11:14.960
<v Speaker 1>out quarter number three strong, leading eighty five two seventy two.

0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:18.160
<v Speaker 1>You're CJ. Excuse me, t J. McConnell step back shot

0:11:18.160 --> 0:11:21.400
<v Speaker 1>on Nurkas in the air head in one point seven

0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:24.800
<v Speaker 1>to go sixes by thirteen. It about a Napier. He'll

0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:27.439
<v Speaker 1>simply hold a ball. McConnell knew he had to put

0:11:27.480 --> 0:11:29.440
<v Speaker 1>a lot of arc on the shot with Nurkis there

0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:32.800
<v Speaker 1>and KEJ McConnell puts it in. So it was eighty

0:11:32.840 --> 0:11:36.560
<v Speaker 1>five seventy two going into the fourth, the Sixers still

0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:39.599
<v Speaker 1>in control. Not too long after that leading with a

0:11:39.679 --> 0:11:42.120
<v Speaker 1>rebuilt McConnell over for you all, Bayless. The balls roll

0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:43.640
<v Speaker 1>right to him and he picks it up. Here's a

0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:46.000
<v Speaker 1>beat with it. Sixers with numbers over to JJ three

0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:48.800
<v Speaker 1>foot him the air by Reddick. Bang, it's good. JJ.

0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:51.800
<v Speaker 1>Reddick knocks it out. The Sixers get it three to

0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:55.080
<v Speaker 1>make it a fourteen point lead. Eighty eight seventy fourth.

0:11:55.120 --> 0:11:57.439
<v Speaker 1>Things were looking good for the visitors, but then it

0:11:57.520 --> 0:12:01.360
<v Speaker 1>was the Trailblazers, led by Napier and also CJ. McCollum

0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:05.720
<v Speaker 1>Nurkitch involved as well, that spun off a nineteen nothing

0:12:05.800 --> 0:12:09.360
<v Speaker 1>run part of a twenty three to two surge that

0:12:09.520 --> 0:12:12.800
<v Speaker 1>vaulted the Trailblazers into the lead and in control of

0:12:12.800 --> 0:12:15.680
<v Speaker 1>the game for good. Some late threes from JJ Reddick

0:12:15.720 --> 0:12:18.600
<v Speaker 1>Joel Embiid made it close and interesting. Butt it was

0:12:18.640 --> 0:12:21.680
<v Speaker 1>Portland that staved off the seventy sixers were a very

0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:25.360
<v Speaker 1>impressive come from behind four point win. Final notes from
