Speaker 1: And number twenty Marquel Folds and a standing ovation for
Speaker 1: Foltz number twenty, the number one pick Dan in a
Speaker 1: continuous Danny, Oh, what a moment in Philadelphia. Nice job, classy.
Speaker 1: Moved by the fans they want to see Folts. Sixers
Speaker 1: beat Denver Final one, twenty three, one oh four. Welcome back, Tom,
Speaker 1: I get us here at the center of these Sixers.
Speaker 1: Now thirteen games over five hundred, they've won seven in
Speaker 1: a row. They're the hottest team in the Eastern Conference.
Speaker 1: They maintained their spot in the fourth spot in the
Speaker 1: Eastern Conference overall, and they gained a half a game
Speaker 1: on Cleveland as the Cavaliers idol tonight after beating the
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Nets last night at Barclays. The Sixers had thirty
Speaker 1: five assists in the game, the sixth straight game with
Speaker 1: over thirty points that we've talked about the definitive portion
Speaker 1: of the game, where the Sixers outscored Denver in the
Speaker 1: second half seventy two to forty five. And again, the
Speaker 1: seventy two points the most of the Sixers have had
Speaker 1: in the second half all year. They shot fifty five
Speaker 1: percent to Sixers in the second half. Denver thirty three
Speaker 1: percent rebounds. This is just in the second half thirty
Speaker 1: seven to fourteen. The Sixers outscored Denver in fast break
Speaker 1: points in the second half fifteen to one, and in
Speaker 1: the paint thirty eight fourteen. The game marks the return
Speaker 1: of Mark hell Foltz. He played almost fourteen and a
Speaker 1: half minutes. He went five of thirteen. He had eight assists,
Speaker 1: four rebounds, and ten points. And Brett Brown is right
Speaker 1: now outside the Sixers locker room. We turned out of
Speaker 1: the Sixers head coach just showed signs of why he
Speaker 1: was the first play had chosen. Obviously, the game is
Speaker 1: fast and it's elite at this stage, and that's a
Speaker 1: good team, but it's in the night. Could not have
Speaker 1: worked out bettermute. I mean, it didn't look like he
Speaker 1: was hesitant up thirteen shots and you know, fourteen minutes
Speaker 1: I told him our strength people did. Must have done
Speaker 1: a great job because you should look strong in relation
Speaker 1: to your confident shooting, and you know, the timing of
Speaker 1: it in traffic, the length that will be something that
Speaker 1: he will evolve to figuring out when is he sort
Speaker 1: of in a traffic type jam. But just the fact
Speaker 1: that he looked to shoot it made it looked fluid.
Speaker 1: I just loved his confidence at times hunting a shot.
Speaker 1: Nineteen assists out of him and sentence together only two terms. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, how good is that day to look down
Speaker 1: and see thirty five assists and to your point, to
Speaker 1: add up those two point guards and then look at
Speaker 1: the turnovers. You know, they passed. We We've said from
Speaker 1: day one the past is king. Everybody loves to play
Speaker 1: with people that passed the ball. And one of the
Speaker 1: large differences this year is the receivers can finish either
Speaker 1: through threes or in the paint in a post. And
Speaker 1: Joe and Uh that that that's a big number from
Speaker 1: those two and it's a massive number again from our team.
Speaker 1: Thirty five assistants is something that we're proud of. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's yeah, there was an excitement. I think that there
Speaker 1: was a spirit that he had. You know, we all
Speaker 1: sort of judge people's confidence in different ways. My judgment
Speaker 1: normally is somebody's sort of body language and facial expression.
Speaker 1: And he looked confident and he didn't blank. He came
Speaker 1: in and I thought it was a real sort of bold,
Speaker 1: gutsy effort that he made given where he was and
Speaker 1: now where he is. The third quarter, he only gave
Speaker 1: up fifteen points. What was the method that half time?
Speaker 1: I mean, if you look at our third periods lately,
Speaker 1: we're coming out a halftime to mean it, and it
Speaker 1: was a seventy two forty five swing in the second
Speaker 1: half led by that sort of statement period the third period,
Speaker 1: and that is lately has not been that. This tonight
Speaker 1: is not an outlier. It's been sort of progressive. And
Speaker 1: we we understand that nothing matters in our world. If
Speaker 1: we're really after a home court advantage in the playoffs
Speaker 1: is we have to play defense. And I thought we
Speaker 1: were just a seat in the first half with turnovers
Speaker 1: and some transition defensive sort of focal points. Um. But
Speaker 1: I thought the second half changed. About the crowd is
Speaker 1: how much as a game when you get on a
Speaker 1: run and this crowd gets into that, I mean, you
Speaker 1: know you you hear and feel what we hear and feel,
Speaker 1: and it's it's not to be dismissed. It's real. And
Speaker 1: our guys feed off that. Um, they feed off that.
Speaker 1: And when you seek sort of what is a home
Speaker 1: court advantage? If you can get a loud and proud Jim,
Speaker 1: you get aloud and proud arena, and people as passionate
Speaker 1: as we clearly have in the building. You know, people,
Speaker 1: especially young guys, respond to that, and it is just
Speaker 1: one of several reasons why we feel that the home
Speaker 1: court advantage can serve us well. Sixers coach final answer
Speaker 1: there about the crowd, and there's no doubt about it.
Speaker 1: It was actually pretty cool. Even when markul Foltz took
Speaker 1: the court, and then when he got in the game,
Speaker 1: and then when he scored his first basket, and then
Speaker 1: even later in the game when there was about two
Speaker 1: plus minutes to go, they were chanting, we want Foltz, savvy,
Speaker 1: passionate Philadelphia fans. Another sellout crowd, great result Sixers. Fantastic
Speaker 1: effort here against Denver, particularly in the second half. Again
Speaker 1: the final one twenty three, one oh four, the Sixers
Speaker 1: over Denver. They take both games over the Nuggets this year,
Speaker 1: the Sixers have won seven in a row. Up next
Speaker 1: the arch rivals, the New York Knicks. One twenty three,
Speaker 1: one oh four the Final Wednesday, Sixers, New York. Find
Speaker 1: your tickets at StubHub dot com. We'll take a break.
Speaker 1: We'll turn it over to the Von Gibbons. Our postgame
Speaker 1: coverage continues on the Sixers Radio Network. This is the
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Has seventy Sixers postgame show. I feed, I can
Speaker 1: look about about brunch free sor it's gonna turn and
Speaker 1: get it off Matty Rolls the Sixers postgame show right
Speaker 1: now on ninety seven five. The fanetic A big return,
Speaker 1: A big return for your number one overall pick a
Speaker 1: continue winning streak and very exciting fans in the city
Speaker 1: of Philadelphias Again to Philadelphia seventy Sixers win tonight one
Speaker 1: twenty three, one oh four over the visiting Denver Nuggets. Hello, all,
Speaker 1: this is the postgame show Live when Sixers Radio Network.
Speaker 1: The Sixers improved to forty three and thirty dropping the
Speaker 1: Denver Nuggets record to forty and thirty four. And while
Speaker 1: everyone is so excited about the extended winning streak and
Speaker 1: the fact that they're beating teams the way that they are,
Speaker 1: the same can be said about tonight. The storyline for
Speaker 1: the evening was the return of one Marquelle Faults again
Speaker 1: in fourteen minutes and twenty four seconds of action, five
Speaker 1: or thirteen from the floor, ten points, eight assists, four rebounds,
Speaker 1: and did not look hesitant after his return in the
Speaker 1: second half, a very very good sign for the Philadelphia
Speaker 1: seventy six ers and even greater sign for the player
Speaker 1: himself to regain, hopefully regain that confidence. With nine games
Speaker 1: remaining and possibly an opportunity to slide right into the
Speaker 1: rotation of Brett Brown's for the postseason, we had back
Speaker 1: to the Wells Fargo Center and check in with Tom
Speaker 1: mcguinnis live at the Center time. Again, this game had
Speaker 1: quite a bit a slow start for the team, trying
Speaker 1: to really find their way up and down. Denver looked
Speaker 1: he got off to a hot start, but again the
Speaker 1: storyline overall Markulle folks just showing what he had as
Speaker 1: in game number seventy three. No, he's got a lot
Speaker 1: of skill, and uh, you know, it was a really
Speaker 1: nice start. It's a very nice game for him. And
Speaker 1: again I think he's got you know, well, obviously from
Speaker 1: now until the playoffs, that's what three weeks and a
Speaker 1: little bit less than nine or so games, and he's
Speaker 1: got an opportunity to there won't be a lot of
Speaker 1: practice time, but he'll continue doing what he's been doing.
Speaker 1: And you know, a gifted player, and I think he's
Speaker 1: gonna be able to get his legs underneath him and
Speaker 1: have an impact. I mean that that's saying quite a bit.
Speaker 1: I mean not only did he just play and you
Speaker 1: don't want to put too much in it, just as
Speaker 1: as Brian Colangelo said, you know, it's only one game,
Speaker 1: and he played well. So if he would have not
Speaker 1: played well, it's it's still only one game. And he'll
Speaker 1: have his ups and downs, no doubt about it. But
Speaker 1: he showed like that skill like to me, just that
Speaker 1: one block he had late in the game. He's an
Speaker 1: incredible athlete. He's so fluid and he's swervy. It's hard
Speaker 1: to describe unless you've really seen him. But you saw
Speaker 1: how far Devin Harris was playing off of him, obviously
Speaker 1: because you know, saying that he can't shoot, but knowing
Speaker 1: that if you don't give him enough space, he's gonna
Speaker 1: get by you and get to the rim. So it's
Speaker 1: great for him. And as you said, I like the
Speaker 1: way he said at Davon for the player. Think about
Speaker 1: markul Folt, what he's gone through with the scrutiny, and
Speaker 1: as Brett Brown said, the social media and the conjecture
Speaker 1: and the Willie play Willie Not. It was a common
Speaker 1: thing they you know, it ticked off JJ Reddick. Everybody
Speaker 1: would shoot his shooting, the scenarios at the end of
Speaker 1: practice which the media is allowed in. And you know,
Speaker 1: he's a nineteen year old man going through an injury
Speaker 1: and recovery, and you know it's been probably a difficult
Speaker 1: emotional toll as well for him. So it's everybody around
Speaker 1: the Sixer is really a very strong affection and you
Speaker 1: know he's a very likable young guy. He's got a
Speaker 1: great energy about him. So it's great for him and
Speaker 1: just really exciting for the crowd. Cool night here at
Speaker 1: the Center, a little bit unexpected, right, you come in
Speaker 1: the only the Sixers had gotten the playoff berth with
Speaker 1: that in Indiana win the other day, and yet it
Speaker 1: all ended up and just a tremendous second half performance
Speaker 1: and a really cool night here down at the arena.
Speaker 1: Absolutely in tom Now with a half game up on
Speaker 1: the idle Indiana Pacers. You look at the game, you
Speaker 1: try to force you self away a little bit from
Speaker 1: the Marquelle Folds attention and look at the game overall again,
Speaker 1: getting off to a start where it was a little
Speaker 1: back and forth and you saw how Will Barton really
Speaker 1: got things started for Denver. But as we've talked about
Speaker 1: in the past, the third quarter has been an achilles
Speaker 1: heel for the Sixers in the past early on in
Speaker 1: the season, but once things really turned over into the
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen probably around February, the third quarter has become
Speaker 1: the Sixers quarter, and now even the fourth quarter. The
Speaker 1: way that they were able to come back really says
Speaker 1: something about this basketball team. Well, any young team, you're
Speaker 1: gonna want to see grow and mature and developed throughout
Speaker 1: the course of a season. And it's a long season,
Speaker 1: you know, the NBA season. These guys have been at
Speaker 1: it for you know, he really First of all, they
Speaker 1: only took like a month off in the summer. This
Speaker 1: has become an eleven month league. And then during the
Speaker 1: course of the season, the team has gotten better. The
Speaker 1: individual players have gotten better. You're seeing better play from
Speaker 1: Ben and from Dario. Reddick's having a career here, and
Speaker 1: Beat has gotten better and more consistent the more he's played.
Speaker 1: Covington had a bad spell there for you know, three
Speaker 1: four weeks or whatever, and he seems to be back.
Speaker 1: You get the addition of Bellinelli and Iliasova. So yeah,
Speaker 1: the third quarters, that's a great thing to see. Heck,
Speaker 1: the first quarters of six Ers tonight, I believe they
Speaker 1: had twenty three. They've had thirty two points multiple times
Speaker 1: in first quarters. So just a tremendous second half, a
Speaker 1: keep by the defense that they got fifteen fast break
Speaker 1: points in the second half. They started out rebound Denver
Speaker 1: and really did a good job. I mean, Barton had
Speaker 1: twenty points in the first half, five threes, he barely
Speaker 1: got a touch in the third quarter, ended up with
Speaker 1: five points in the second half. I thought they did
Speaker 1: a good job at Yokis Jamal Murray. I thought Millsapp
Speaker 1: was the guy that really. Denver was kind of going
Speaker 1: through mill Sap with their offense and the Sixers ended
Speaker 1: up swarming him. Just it's so fast. I mean, it
Speaker 1: was a seventeen to two run, and when the game
Speaker 1: just totally shifted, the Tide came in and out in
Speaker 1: a hurry, and the Sixers dominated the game and took
Speaker 1: over the game right at that point. No, absolutely again,
Speaker 1: Tom again his life from the centers. The Sixers beat
Speaker 1: the Nuggets one twenty three, one oh four in the
Speaker 1: return of Mark ll Folks and Tom. You mentioned the defense,
Speaker 1: and we know a lot of that has to do
Speaker 1: with Lloyd Pierce and a great job by the assistant
Speaker 1: coach to shift the defense the way that he did
Speaker 1: in the second half, But it has to start with
Speaker 1: Brett Brown. And you spoke to you speak to him
Speaker 1: every pregame, and you spoke to him today. And for
Speaker 1: one thing that a lot of us missed because we
Speaker 1: were not able to hear his pregame meeting with the media,
Speaker 1: you mentioned how he was really emotional with Mark Hell
Speaker 1: with the mention of Mark L. Folks coming back to
Speaker 1: this team, could you really explain what we were unable
Speaker 1: to hear. Well, he got a little choked up, you know. Again.
Speaker 1: The actual announcement came in response to another question. I
Speaker 1: can't remember specifically, but it was from Jack McCaffrey, I
Speaker 1: believe from the Delaware County Times. It was something about
Speaker 1: playoff rotations and this or that, and then Coach Brown said,
Speaker 1: you know, well, and I have something to say about
Speaker 1: Mark L. Folds. And honestly, I didn't think the next
Speaker 1: words out of his mouth were he was playing because
Speaker 1: again the media has been asking this, I mean like
Speaker 1: two three times a week. There are games that go
Speaker 1: by that does not come up but then and Brett
Speaker 1: Brown has been so patient and forthright and you know,
Speaker 1: we'll kind of let you know when we know that
Speaker 1: kind of thing. And he got emotional based on some
Speaker 1: of the things I just said, with all that Marquel
Speaker 1: had to go through to get to this point and
Speaker 1: the feeling that you had for him that Brett Brown
Speaker 1: does and like I said, a lot of people around
Speaker 1: the organization, he's a very likable young man and what
Speaker 1: he's fought through to get to this point, and he did,
Speaker 1: he got he got a little you know, the lumpetus
Speaker 1: throat or whatever you want to say, and we've never
Speaker 1: seen that really before, certainly in that circumstance. So Brett
Speaker 1: Brown again, he gets an A plus plus in relationships.
Speaker 1: That's how you keep a locker room over the last
Speaker 1: five years as he's done. That's how you develop the
Speaker 1: rapport and the ability to get after these guys coaching
Speaker 1: wise when you need to and yet know them as people,
Speaker 1: know what makes them tick. It shows you care. And
Speaker 1: obviously he cares a whole lot about all of us players,
Speaker 1: including Folds, And I think that was the emotional side
Speaker 1: of what came out of coach as he brought that
Speaker 1: to light tonight prior to the game. Well, it's great
Speaker 1: to hear that about head coach Brett Brown. And also
Speaker 1: you can see the emotion and just the excitement from
Speaker 1: his teammates from Mark hill Folds his teammates after the
Speaker 1: game and just the hugging in the high five and
Speaker 1: then dousing of the water. It was great to see that. Time.
Speaker 1: We'll be back on Wednesday, hopefully for another show where
Speaker 1: Mark lle Folks will be back in the rotation one
Speaker 1: more time against the New York Knicks. Tom have a
Speaker 1: great night time again us again live from the Center
Speaker 1: as the Philadelphia seventy sixers win their seventh in a row.
Speaker 1: But while doing that and picking up their forty third
Speaker 1: victory of the season, the story became a few hours
Speaker 1: before the game markuelle Folks available to play tonight and
Speaker 1: he did just that by playing fourteen minutes in twenty
Speaker 1: four seconds for the winners tonight. It was great to
Speaker 1: see that. So on the other side, we'll dive more
Speaker 1: into some of the highlights called of course by Tom
Speaker 1: again us and digging into the box score just a
Speaker 1: little bit more. I'm Divine giving Sixers win one twenty three,
Speaker 1: one oh four. This is the postgame show and the
Speaker 1: Sixers Radio Network. We can certainly get used to this
Speaker 1: as the seventy Sixers again victorious tonight one twenty three,
Speaker 1: one oh four, as they have ripped off now seven
Speaker 1: in a row four this stage of the season where
Speaker 1: they've won forty three on the season, lost thirty still
Speaker 1: in the fourth by out half a game over the
Speaker 1: idle Indiana Paces with this victory again one twenty three,
Speaker 1: one oh four tonight at the Center West Paul's ten
Speaker 1: seconds to allow some of our partners to identify themselves
Speaker 1: here on Sixes Radio Network, Lee home for the Philadelphia
Speaker 1: seventy six Ers and the Philadelphia Fly ninety seventy five,
Speaker 1: the Finatic WPE and Burlington Hildel shodcasting from the Exfinity
Speaker 1: studio only from Comcast since the postgame show, Divine give
Speaker 1: us here with you again live when the Sixes Radio Network,
Speaker 1: as we just heard from Tom mcguinnis some of the
Speaker 1: great insight from him. Now let's dive into some of
Speaker 1: the highlights. As we talked about early on, things got
Speaker 1: off to a little bit of a slow start as
Speaker 1: the Denver Nuggets got off to a big one nine
Speaker 1: to two lead as Will Barton just went off and
Speaker 1: scored the first nine points, two threes and the basket
Speaker 1: in the and one to make it nine zero. Joel
Speaker 1: and b came in to give the Sixers the first
Speaker 1: bucket of the evening to make it nine to two.
Speaker 1: Jamal Murray with a nice fast break dunk with an
Speaker 1: emphatic exclamation point on it in the fast break opportunity
Speaker 1: make it thirteen six. Dario's charts then really got things
Speaker 1: going for the Philadelphia seventy Sixers. Free pound Simmons here
Speaker 1: come to Sixers. Hit the front court. Bet Simmons picks
Speaker 1: it back to t J now of Dario Pree ball
Speaker 1: by chargers up. That's good, Dario Shark, He's on fire.
Speaker 1: Tie game time out Denver. That made a thirteen thirteen
Speaker 1: tie at that point, Dario Charts going seventh straight of
Speaker 1: his own right there. Will Barton followed up a little
Speaker 1: bit by keeping it going another three point of four
Speaker 1: the swing man for the Denver Nuggets to make it
Speaker 1: twenty to fifteen. Then when Mark hell Folks came in,
Speaker 1: you heard it right here on Sixers Radio Network. Where
Speaker 1: the ovation was very loud. It got even louder after this.
Speaker 1: Folks brings it across, goes to a beat and out
Speaker 1: you well, here's mark El breaking free. He gets the
Speaker 1: right hand layup Pekka sitting there. WHOA, what a graceful
Speaker 1: move on the right way. Daver thought he was gonna
Speaker 1: go off the bead street at Mark Hell Folks on
Speaker 1: the board. We went away from the pick, went baseline
Speaker 1: and looked like he was gonna dunked it, but simply
Speaker 1: turned it over for an easy layup twenty four nineteen Denver.
Speaker 1: At that point, at the end of one twenty seven
Speaker 1: twenty three nuggets in front, things kept going. The offense
Speaker 1: simply was in play for both teams. At this point.
Speaker 1: Robert Covington got into it. He had an he had
Speaker 1: a three to start things off, to make it thirty
Speaker 1: to twenty six Denver. But he also was not done
Speaker 1: there as he made one and also was foul. JJ
Speaker 1: reddick folkscot sketch it back. He's underneath the basket, he's doubled.
Speaker 1: He goes a coming too, three boat in the air
Speaker 1: coming did puts it in in a foul and that'll
Speaker 1: be on Will Barton. He was four of eight from
Speaker 1: behind the three point line to night for eighteen points overall.
Speaker 1: Four Your six Ers swing man Dario Sharks again getting
Speaker 1: into the mix, knocking down another three pointer to make
Speaker 1: it thirty seven to thirty seven. Going back and forth
Speaker 1: six tie part me six ties, one lead change overall
Speaker 1: in the game, but he kept going. It seemed like
Speaker 1: they were going back and forth trying to catch up.
Speaker 1: They finally could not. Then again Will Barton just on
Speaker 1: fire in the first half. He had back to threes
Speaker 1: here at three of them back out top Bill Sap,
Speaker 1: Bill Stap between two defenders at the right side part
Speaker 1: his three is good Again Will Barton is four for
Speaker 1: five from three and Denver goes up forty two thirty nine,
Speaker 1: filling in for an injured Gary Harris. Will Barton again
Speaker 1: four or five At that point, Tom again is pointed
Speaker 1: out to make it forty five thirty nine at the
Speaker 1: end of two quarters fifty nine fifty one Denver. But
Speaker 1: as we talked about with Tom again, it's the Sixers
Speaker 1: are seemingly starting to find their way where they can
Speaker 1: now turn it up in the third and not be
Speaker 1: the other ones, allowing the opposition to do that to them.
Speaker 1: JJ Reddick comes out of the locker room to make
Speaker 1: it fifty nine to fifty four. Then Joe Ellen beat
Speaker 1: and JJ Reddick with two great back to back police
Speaker 1: charge with a Dario after a spurt in the first
Speaker 1: quarter which he ended up with ten points, has not
Speaker 1: scorts skins Hip, p a slap, he Poster, riss Paul Bill,
Speaker 1: slam Hey towery right here jam Hander on their feet
Speaker 1: be knocked out by Yokis knocks them all away, run
Speaker 1: up the Simons, Simmons out the Dario. Now JJ threep
Speaker 1: on in the air. It's good. J J. Runner knocks
Speaker 1: it down. Great sequence there by the Sixers both offensively
Speaker 1: and defensively, starting with the dunk by and b to
Speaker 1: make it sixty two fifty six. Great defensive stands while
Speaker 1: he was falling down, knocked it out of Jokis's hand
Speaker 1: to give JJ Reddick an opportunity to make it sixty
Speaker 1: two fifty nine on that deep shot from behind the line.
Speaker 1: Dario Sharston followed up with another three of his own
Speaker 1: to tie it up at sixty four. The Sixers never
Speaker 1: looked back as Sarge went again. Daria scharge with another
Speaker 1: basket in an and one to make it sixty nine
Speaker 1: sixty four. Then he had another layup to make it
Speaker 1: seventy one sixty four and the seventeen to two run
Speaker 1: for the home team. Marco Marquelle Folks back in the mix.
Speaker 1: The run had already started. He got into it himself.
Speaker 1: Here cop Mark Foltz turns out of the dribble. Good lay,
Speaker 1: reverse lap. That's good. Faults with us back in the basket. Hey,
Speaker 1: circus shot? Is it? Seven points? Sexiously in the crowd.
Speaker 1: You could see it in Mark l. Folks as bounces
Speaker 1: as he was coming up the floor. The opportunity was there.
Speaker 1: Great finish on that acrobatic layup for the number one
Speaker 1: overall pick that made it eighty one seventy four sixers.
Speaker 1: They were definitely in play at that point. At going
Speaker 1: into the fourth quarter, Robert Cummington again with eighteen points,
Speaker 1: he missed an opportunity on a alley you out of
Speaker 1: bounds play. He did not miss on this opportunity. Here's
Speaker 1: a lot of comming, did it? This time? He handles
Speaker 1: at jams jj Reddick on the side. This exact same
Speaker 1: play was executed in the first part of the game,
Speaker 1: but the sixers did the score it coming did with
Speaker 1: a jam eighty six seventy six. At that point, jj
Speaker 1: Reddick followed up again with another three point in ninety
Speaker 1: four seventy nine. Ben Simmons was focused, grabbed the rebound,
Speaker 1: took it the length of the floor for another layups
Speaker 1: ninety six seventy nine sixers. They really started to run away.
Speaker 1: Then Joel emb pretty much put a punctuation on the game.
Speaker 1: Marco with it off of the beach screen to the
Speaker 1: right side, libs at Joel catches ammers at all a
Speaker 1: right hand jamp. Your kids came out to the pen,
Speaker 1: Bell and Lli up top to Jojo and it beat
Speaker 1: pound to down. Great look by Bell and Nellie to
Speaker 1: connect with the all star big man Joel and bad
Speaker 1: to make it one oh seven, one oh eight. But
Speaker 1: not to be outdone, as the story on the night
Speaker 1: was simply markuelle Foltz blubbly comes out to guard a
Speaker 1: eight on o'clock, Marquel rises, shoots it and folts for
Speaker 1: the wing jump shot and the crowd you think that
Speaker 1: was the go ahead shot. They love it very encouraging
Speaker 1: Again one twenty eight, ninety eight, after that basket by
Speaker 1: Markulle Folks his tenth point on the evening to finally
Speaker 1: give the Sixes again a one twenty three one oh
Speaker 1: four victory over the visiting Denver Nuggets. The Sixes are
Speaker 1: now forty three and thirty on the season, taking care
Speaker 1: of business once again at home. They would be back
Speaker 1: at home again against an Atlantic Division foe, the New
Speaker 1: York Knicks. They would be visiting the Center Ats on
Speaker 1: Wednesday at seven o'clock, and of course you can hear
Speaker 1: that right here on the Sixers Radio Network quick run
Speaker 1: on the box score, Dario Scharz and Joel Embad both
Speaker 1: paced the seventy six ers to night with twenty points apiece.
Speaker 1: JJ Reddick chipped in nineteen. Robert Covington added eighteen. Ben
Speaker 1: Simmons three of eight from the floor for only seven points,
Speaker 1: but yet again seemed to simply have control of the
Speaker 1: entire game thirty three minutes and thirty three second, seven points,
Speaker 1: thirteen rebounds, eleven times in those thirty three minutes, only
Speaker 1: one turnover, also getting in the mix on the defensive
Speaker 1: end with one block shot. Also off the bench, three
Speaker 1: Folks and double figures, including Markale Folks with his ten
Speaker 1: points and five or thirteen shooting eleven for Bell and
Speaker 1: Ellie and Iliasolva. You're starting to see that as a staple,
Speaker 1: those two coming off the bench and giving the the
Speaker 1: Sixers offensive spark. So again, it's very encouraging and see
Speaker 1: that with nine games remaining as we get ready to
Speaker 1: head into the postseason. The thirteen shots tonight, we're second
Speaker 1: only behind Dario Chartz is fourteen for markl Folks. So again,
Speaker 1: solid solid overall re debut, if you will, for Mark
Speaker 1: el Folts as it returns for his first action after
