Welcome back, Tom, 0:00:20.480 --> 0:00:22.800 I get us here at the center of these Sixers. 0:00:22.880 --> 0:00:27.440 Now thirteen games over five hundred, they've won seven in 0:00:27.480 --> 0:00:30.200 a row. They're the hottest team in the Eastern Conference. 0:00:30.560 --> 0:00:35.440 They maintained their spot in the fourth spot in the 0:00:35.479 --> 0:00:39.720 Eastern Conference overall, and they gained a half a game 0:00:40.159 --> 0:00:45.000 on Cleveland as the Cavaliers idol tonight after beating the 0:00:45.040 --> 0:00:50.360 Brooklyn Nets last night at Barclays. The Sixers had thirty 0:00:50.360 --> 0:00:53.519 five assists in the game, the sixth straight game with 0:00:53.680 --> 0:00:57.280 over thirty points that we've talked about the definitive portion 0:00:57.320 --> 0:01:00.640 of the game, where the Sixers outscored Denver in the 0:01:00.720 --> 0:01:03.600 second half seventy two to forty five. And again, the 0:01:03.600 --> 0:01:05.960 seventy two points the most of the Sixers have had 0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:09.480 in the second half all year. They shot fifty five 0:01:09.520 --> 0:01:12.200 percent to Sixers in the second half. Denver thirty three 0:01:12.240 --> 0:01:15.760 percent rebounds. This is just in the second half thirty 0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:19.559 seven to fourteen. The Sixers outscored Denver in fast break 0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:22.399 points in the second half fifteen to one, and in 0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:26.720 the paint thirty eight fourteen. The game marks the return 0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:29.840 of Mark hell Foltz. He played almost fourteen and a 0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:33.679 half minutes. He went five of thirteen. He had eight assists, 0:01:33.760 --> 0:01:37.959 four rebounds, and ten points. And Brett Brown is right 0:01:38.000 --> 0:01:40.240 now outside the Sixers locker room. We turned out of 0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:43.200 the Sixers head coach just showed signs of why he 0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:46.200 was the first play had chosen. Obviously, the game is 0:01:46.640 --> 0:01:49.280 fast and it's elite at this stage, and that's a 0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:53.440 good team, but it's in the night. Could not have 0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:59.080 worked out bettermute. I mean, it didn't look like he 0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:03.120 was hesitant up thirteen shots and you know, fourteen minutes 0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:05.120 I told him our strength people did. Must have done 0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:08.440 a great job because you should look strong in relation 0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:11.440 to your confident shooting, and you know, the timing of 0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:16.040 it in traffic, the length that will be something that 0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:19.440 he will evolve to figuring out when is he sort 0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:22.840 of in a traffic type jam. But just the fact 0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:26.480 that he looked to shoot it made it looked fluid. 0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:31.320 I just loved his confidence at times hunting a shot. 0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:36.640 Nineteen assists out of him and sentence together only two terms. Yeah, 0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:40.280 I mean, how good is that day to look down 0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:43.360 and see thirty five assists and to your point, to 0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:45.800 add up those two point guards and then look at 0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:49.560 the turnovers. You know, they passed. We We've said from 0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:53.720 day one the past is king. Everybody loves to play 0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:56.840 with people that passed the ball. And one of the 0:02:56.919 --> 0:03:00.360 large differences this year is the receivers can finish either 0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:03.000 through threes or in the paint in a post. And 0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:06.160 Joe and Uh that that that's a big number from 0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:09.880 those two and it's a massive number again from our team. 0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:18.880 Thirty five assistants is something that we're proud of. I mean, 0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:22.120 it's yeah, there was an excitement. I think that there 0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:26.400 was a spirit that he had. You know, we all 0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:30.239 sort of judge people's confidence in different ways. My judgment 0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:34.519 normally is somebody's sort of body language and facial expression. 0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:38.680 And he looked confident and he didn't blank. He came 0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:42.320 in and I thought it was a real sort of bold, 0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:46.120 gutsy effort that he made given where he was and 0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:49.240 now where he is. The third quarter, he only gave 0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:51.680 up fifteen points. What was the method that half time? 0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:55.200 I mean, if you look at our third periods lately, 0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:58.560 we're coming out a halftime to mean it, and it 0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:01.400 was a seventy two forty five swing in the second 0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:05.600 half led by that sort of statement period the third period, 0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:09.640 and that is lately has not been that. This tonight 0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:12.800 is not an outlier. It's been sort of progressive. And 0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:15.680 we we understand that nothing matters in our world. If 0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:19.360 we're really after a home court advantage in the playoffs 0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:23.320 is we have to play defense. And I thought we 0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:26.680 were just a seat in the first half with turnovers 0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:31.440 and some transition defensive sort of focal points. Um. But 0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:35.599 I thought the second half changed. About the crowd is 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:37.360 how much as a game when you get on a 0:04:37.520 --> 0:04:41.560 run and this crowd gets into that, I mean, you 0:04:41.600 --> 0:04:44.640 know you you hear and feel what we hear and feel, 0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:50.680 and it's it's not to be dismissed. It's real. And 0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:55.479 our guys feed off that. Um, they feed off that. 0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:58.960 And when you seek sort of what is a home 0:04:59.000 --> 0:05:03.120 court advantage? If you can get a loud and proud Jim, 0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:06.800 you get aloud and proud arena, and people as passionate 0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:10.400 as we clearly have in the building. You know, people, 0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:14.960 especially young guys, respond to that, and it is just 0:05:15.040 --> 0:05:18.880 one of several reasons why we feel that the home 0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:29.200 court advantage can serve us well. Sixers coach final answer 0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:32.400 there about the crowd, and there's no doubt about it. 0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:36.280 It was actually pretty cool. Even when markul Foltz took 0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:39.320 the court, and then when he got in the game, 0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:41.800 and then when he scored his first basket, and then 0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:43.960 even later in the game when there was about two 0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:48.560 plus minutes to go, they were chanting, we want Foltz, savvy, 0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:54.760 passionate Philadelphia fans. Another sellout crowd, great result Sixers. Fantastic 0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:58.679 effort here against Denver, particularly in the second half. Again 0:05:58.760 --> 0:06:03.239 the final one twenty three, one oh four, the Sixers 0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:06.880 over Denver.

This is the 0:06:27.200 --> 0:06:31.160 Philadelphia Has seventy Sixers postgame show. I feed, I can 0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:33.760 look about about brunch free sor it's gonna turn and 0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:38.359 get it off Matty Rolls the Sixers postgame show right 0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:44.320 now on ninety seven five. The fanetic A big return, 0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:48.200 A big return for your number one overall pick a 0:06:48.360 --> 0:06:52.159 continue winning streak and very exciting fans in the city 0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:55.800 of Philadelphias Again to Philadelphia seventy Sixers win tonight one 0:06:56.040 --> 0:07:00.480 twenty three, one oh four over the visiting Denver Nuggets. Hello, all, 0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:03.799 this is the postgame show Live when Sixers Radio Network. 0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:06.680 The Sixers improved to forty three and thirty dropping the 0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:09.640 Denver Nuggets record to forty and thirty four. And while 0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:12.960 everyone is so excited about the extended winning streak and 0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:15.320 the fact that they're beating teams the way that they are, 0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:18.440 the same can be said about tonight. The storyline for 0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:22.080 the evening was the return of one Marquelle Faults again 0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:25.160 in fourteen minutes and twenty four seconds of action, five 0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:29.440 or thirteen from the floor, ten points, eight assists, four rebounds, 0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:32.400 and did not look hesitant after his return in the 0:07:32.440 --> 0:07:35.760 second half, a very very good sign for the Philadelphia 0:07:35.800 --> 0:07:38.440 seventy six ers and even greater sign for the player 0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:42.640 himself to regain, hopefully regain that confidence. With nine games 0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:46.040 remaining and possibly an opportunity to slide right into the 0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:49.000 rotation of Brett Brown's for the postseason, we had back 0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:51.600 to the Wells Fargo Center and check in with Tom 0:07:51.680 --> 0:07:54.440 mcguinnis live at the Center time. Again, this game had 0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:57.360 quite a bit a slow start for the team, trying 0:07:57.360 --> 0:07:59.880 to really find their way up and down. Denver looked 0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:02.480 he got off to a hot start, but again the 0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:05.800 storyline overall Markulle folks just showing what he had as 0:08:06.120 --> 0:08:08.760 in game number seventy three. No, he's got a lot 0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:11.280 of skill, and uh, you know, it was a really 0:08:11.400 --> 0:08:15.120 nice start. It's a very nice game for him. And 0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:18.760 again I think he's got you know, well, obviously from 0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:23.000 now until the playoffs, that's what three weeks and a 0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:26.480 little bit less than nine or so games, and he's 0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:28.680 got an opportunity to there won't be a lot of 0:08:28.720 --> 0:08:32.080 practice time, but he'll continue doing what he's been doing. 0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:36.200 And you know, a gifted player, and I think he's 0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:38.760 gonna be able to get his legs underneath him and 0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:40.880 have an impact. I mean that that's saying quite a bit. 0:08:40.920 --> 0:08:42.880 I mean not only did he just play and you 0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:44.760 don't want to put too much in it, just as 0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:48.200 as Brian Colangelo said, you know, it's only one game, 0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:51.480 and he played well. So if he would have not 0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:54.280 played well, it's it's still only one game. And he'll 0:08:54.280 --> 0:08:57.000 have his ups and downs, no doubt about it. But 0:08:57.200 --> 0:08:59.360 he showed like that skill like to me, just that 0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:02.760 one block he had late in the game. He's an 0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:08.079 incredible athlete. He's so fluid and he's swervy. It's hard 0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:11.200 to describe unless you've really seen him. But you saw 0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:14.079 how far Devin Harris was playing off of him, obviously 0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:17.400 because you know, saying that he can't shoot, but knowing 0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:20.520 that if you don't give him enough space, he's gonna 0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:23.320 get by you and get to the rim. So it's 0:09:23.360 --> 0:09:24.880 great for him. And as you said, I like the 0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:27.640 way he said at Davon for the player. Think about 0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:30.520 markul Folt, what he's gone through with the scrutiny, and 0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:33.920 as Brett Brown said, the social media and the conjecture 0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:36.559 and the Willie play Willie Not. It was a common 0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:39.920 thing they you know, it ticked off JJ Reddick. Everybody 0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:42.960 would shoot his shooting, the scenarios at the end of 0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:45.680 practice which the media is allowed in. And you know, 0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:47.880 he's a nineteen year old man going through an injury 0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:51.280 and recovery, and you know it's been probably a difficult 0:09:51.800 --> 0:09:55.760 emotional toll as well for him. So it's everybody around 0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:59.440 the Sixer is really a very strong affection and you 0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:02.000 know he's a very likable young guy. He's got a 0:10:02.000 --> 0:10:05.280 great energy about him. So it's great for him and 0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:08.679 just really exciting for the crowd. Cool night here at 0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:10.960 the Center, a little bit unexpected, right, you come in 0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:14.599 the only the Sixers had gotten the playoff berth with 0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:17.800 that in Indiana win the other day, and yet it 0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:20.880 all ended up and just a tremendous second half performance 0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:23.320 and a really cool night here down at the arena. 0:10:23.480 --> 0:10:25.960 Absolutely in tom Now with a half game up on 0:10:26.000 --> 0:10:28.640 the idle Indiana Pacers. You look at the game, you 0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:30.680 try to force you self away a little bit from 0:10:30.880 --> 0:10:34.000 the Marquelle Folds attention and look at the game overall again, 0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:36.080 getting off to a start where it was a little 0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:38.280 back and forth and you saw how Will Barton really 0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:41.080 got things started for Denver. But as we've talked about 0:10:41.120 --> 0:10:43.520 in the past, the third quarter has been an achilles 0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:45.560 heel for the Sixers in the past early on in 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:48.560 the season, but once things really turned over into the 0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:52.280 twenty eighteen probably around February, the third quarter has become 0:10:52.280 --> 0:10:55.880 the Sixers quarter, and now even the fourth quarter. The 0:10:55.920 --> 0:10:57.839 way that they were able to come back really says 0:10:57.880 --> 0:11:01.000 something about this basketball team. Well, any young team, you're 0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:03.680 gonna want to see grow and mature and developed throughout 0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:06.680 the course of a season. And it's a long season, 0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:08.880 you know, the NBA season. These guys have been at 0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:11.319 it for you know, he really First of all, they 0:11:11.320 --> 0:11:13.640 only took like a month off in the summer. This 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:16.400 has become an eleven month league. And then during the 0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:18.240 course of the season, the team has gotten better. The 0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:21.280 individual players have gotten better. You're seeing better play from 0:11:21.280 --> 0:11:23.719 Ben and from Dario. Reddick's having a career here, and 0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:26.840 Beat has gotten better and more consistent the more he's played. 0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:30.400 Covington had a bad spell there for you know, three 0:11:30.480 --> 0:11:32.439 four weeks or whatever, and he seems to be back. 0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:36.200 You get the addition of Bellinelli and Iliasova. So yeah, 0:11:36.240 --> 0:11:39.440 the third quarters, that's a great thing to see. Heck, 0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:41.600 the first quarters of six Ers tonight, I believe they 0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:44.600 had twenty three. They've had thirty two points multiple times 0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:48.719 in first quarters. So just a tremendous second half, a 0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:51.520 keep by the defense that they got fifteen fast break 0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:54.720 points in the second half. They started out rebound Denver 0:11:55.200 --> 0:11:57.280 and really did a good job. I mean, Barton had 0:11:57.320 --> 0:12:00.600 twenty points in the first half, five threes, he barely 0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:03.080 got a touch in the third quarter, ended up with 0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:05.640 five points in the second half. I thought they did 0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:08.880 a good job at Yokis Jamal Murray. I thought Millsapp 0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:11.480 was the guy that really. Denver was kind of going 0:12:11.559 --> 0:12:15.120 through mill Sap with their offense and the Sixers ended 0:12:15.200 --> 0:12:18.679 up swarming him. Just it's so fast. I mean, it 0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:21.080 was a seventeen to two run, and when the game 0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:24.679 just totally shifted, the Tide came in and out in 0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:27.679 a hurry, and the Sixers dominated the game and took 0:12:27.760 --> 0:12:30.000 over the game right at that point. No, absolutely again, 0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:32.120 Tom again his life from the centers. The Sixers beat 0:12:32.160 --> 0:12:34.520 the Nuggets one twenty three, one oh four in the 0:12:34.559 --> 0:12:37.840 return of Mark ll Folks and Tom. You mentioned the defense, 0:12:37.840 --> 0:12:39.160 and we know a lot of that has to do 0:12:39.200 --> 0:12:41.720 with Lloyd Pierce and a great job by the assistant 0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:44.320 coach to shift the defense the way that he did 0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:46.400 in the second half, But it has to start with 0:12:46.400 --> 0:12:48.600 Brett Brown. And you spoke to you speak to him 0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:51.080 every pregame, and you spoke to him today. And for 0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:53.160 one thing that a lot of us missed because we 0:12:53.160 --> 0:12:58.839 were not able to hear his pregame meeting with the media, 0:12:58.960 --> 0:13:01.800 you mentioned how he was really emotional with Mark Hell 0:13:02.040 --> 0:13:05.200 with the mention of Mark L. Folks coming back to 0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:08.440 this team, could you really explain what we were unable 0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:11.720 to hear. Well, he got a little choked up, you know. Again. 0:13:11.800 --> 0:13:16.679 The actual announcement came in response to another question. I 0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:20.719 can't remember specifically, but it was from Jack McCaffrey, I 0:13:20.760 --> 0:13:22.839 believe from the Delaware County Times. It was something about 0:13:23.120 --> 0:13:27.400 playoff rotations and this or that, and then Coach Brown said, 0:13:27.520 --> 0:13:30.560 you know, well, and I have something to say about 0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:33.120 Mark L. Folds. And honestly, I didn't think the next 0:13:33.120 --> 0:13:35.760 words out of his mouth were he was playing because 0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:39.520 again the media has been asking this, I mean like 0:13:39.600 --> 0:13:42.200 two three times a week. There are games that go 0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:45.720 by that does not come up but then and Brett 0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:48.520 Brown has been so patient and forthright and you know, 0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:50.640 we'll kind of let you know when we know that 0:13:50.720 --> 0:13:53.559 kind of thing. And he got emotional based on some 0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:55.840 of the things I just said, with all that Marquel 0:13:55.960 --> 0:13:58.760 had to go through to get to this point and 0:13:58.800 --> 0:14:01.560 the feeling that you had for him that Brett Brown 0:14:01.640 --> 0:14:03.840 does and like I said, a lot of people around 0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:07.240 the organization, he's a very likable young man and what 0:14:07.320 --> 0:14:09.920 he's fought through to get to this point, and he did, 0:14:09.960 --> 0:14:13.000 he got he got a little you know, the lumpetus 0:14:13.080 --> 0:14:14.640 throat or whatever you want to say, and we've never 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:18.000 seen that really before, certainly in that circumstance. So Brett 0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:21.960 Brown again, he gets an A plus plus in relationships. 0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:24.640 That's how you keep a locker room over the last 0:14:24.640 --> 0:14:28.000 five years as he's done. That's how you develop the 0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:30.800 rapport and the ability to get after these guys coaching 0:14:30.840 --> 0:14:33.760 wise when you need to and yet know them as people, 0:14:33.880 --> 0:14:36.800 know what makes them tick. It shows you care. And 0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:39.360 obviously he cares a whole lot about all of us players, 0:14:39.360 --> 0:14:42.360 including Folds, And I think that was the emotional side 0:14:42.360 --> 0:14:44.600 of what came out of coach as he brought that 0:14:44.760 --> 0:14:47.760 to light tonight prior to the game. Well, it's great 0:14:47.800 --> 0:14:50.120 to hear that about head coach Brett Brown. And also 0:14:50.160 --> 0:14:53.000 you can see the emotion and just the excitement from 0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:55.640 his teammates from Mark hill Folds his teammates after the 0:14:55.720 --> 0:14:58.560 game and just the hugging in the high five and 0:14:58.600 --> 0:15:01.000 then dousing of the water. It was great to see that. Time. 0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:04.320 We'll be back on Wednesday, hopefully for another show where 0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:06.800 Mark lle Folks will be back in the rotation one 0:15:06.840 --> 0:15:10.200 more time against the New York Knicks. Tom have a 0:15:10.200 --> 0:15:12.280 great night time again us again live from the Center 0:15:12.320 --> 0:15:15.200 as the Philadelphia seventy sixers win their seventh in a row. 0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:17.560 But while doing that and picking up their forty third 0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:21.200 victory of the season, the story became a few hours 0:15:21.200 --> 0:15:25.240 before the game markuelle Folks available to play tonight and 0:15:25.320 --> 0:15:28.400 he did just that by playing fourteen minutes in twenty 0:15:28.400 --> 0:15:31.080 four seconds for the winners tonight. It was great to 0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:33.640 see that. So on the other side, we'll dive more 0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:35.840 into some of the highlights called of course by Tom 0:15:35.840 --> 0:15:37.680 again us and digging into the box score just a 0:15:37.720 --> 0:15:41.000 little bit more.

Now let's dive into some of 0:16:34.240 --> 0:16:36.760 the highlights. As we talked about early on, things got 0:16:36.800 --> 0:16:38.920 off to a little bit of a slow start as 0:16:38.960 --> 0:16:41.320 the Denver Nuggets got off to a big one nine 0:16:41.360 --> 0:16:44.120 to two lead as Will Barton just went off and 0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:47.000 scored the first nine points, two threes and the basket 0:16:47.040 --> 0:16:49.080 in the and one to make it nine zero. Joel 0:16:49.160 --> 0:16:51.280 and b came in to give the Sixers the first 0:16:51.280 --> 0:16:53.360 bucket of the evening to make it nine to two. 0:16:53.680 --> 0:16:56.560 Jamal Murray with a nice fast break dunk with an 0:16:56.600 --> 0:17:00.440 emphatic exclamation point on it in the fast break opportunity 0:17:00.440 --> 0:17:03.960 make it thirteen six. Dario's charts then really got things 0:17:03.960 --> 0:17:07.120 going for the Philadelphia seventy Sixers. Free pound Simmons here 0:17:07.119 --> 0:17:10.000 come to Sixers. Hit the front court.

That's good, Dario Shark, He's on fire. 0:17:16.040 --> 0:17:20.320 Tie game time out Denver. That made a thirteen thirteen 0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:23.199 tie at that point, Dario Charts going seventh straight of 0:17:23.320 --> 0:17:25.680 his own right there. Will Barton followed up a little 0:17:25.720 --> 0:17:28.240 bit by keeping it going another three point of four 0:17:28.600 --> 0:17:30.560 the swing man for the Denver Nuggets to make it 0:17:30.640 --> 0:17:33.560 twenty to fifteen. Then when Mark hell Folks came in, 0:17:33.680 --> 0:17:36.880 you heard it right here on Sixers Radio Network. Where 0:17:36.880 --> 0:17:40.080 the ovation was very loud. It got even louder after this. 0:17:40.400 --> 0:17:42.680 Folks brings it across, goes to a beat and out 0:17:42.720 --> 0:17:44.800 you well, here's mark El breaking free. He gets the 0:17:44.920 --> 0:17:48.879 right hand layup Pekka sitting there. WHOA, what a graceful 0:17:48.960 --> 0:17:51.480 move on the right way. Daver thought he was gonna 0:17:51.480 --> 0:17:54.639 go off the bead street at Mark Hell Folks on 0:17:54.800 --> 0:17:58.040 the board. We went away from the pick, went baseline 0:17:58.040 --> 0:17:59.680 and looked like he was gonna dunked it, but simply 0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:02.520 turned it over for an easy layup twenty four nineteen Denver. 0:18:02.640 --> 0:18:05.160 At that point, at the end of one twenty seven 0:18:05.240 --> 0:18:09.120 twenty three nuggets in front, things kept going. The offense 0:18:09.320 --> 0:18:12.560 simply was in play for both teams. At this point. 0:18:12.720 --> 0:18:15.359 Robert Covington got into it. He had an he had 0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:17.480 a three to start things off, to make it thirty 0:18:17.720 --> 0:18:21.080 to twenty six Denver. But he also was not done 0:18:21.119 --> 0:18:24.040 there as he made one and also was foul. JJ 0:18:24.200 --> 0:18:27.280 reddick folkscot sketch it back. He's underneath the basket, he's doubled. 0:18:27.320 --> 0:18:28.880 He goes a coming too, three boat in the air 0:18:29.200 --> 0:18:32.040 coming did puts it in in a foul and that'll 0:18:32.119 --> 0:18:34.720 be on Will Barton. He was four of eight from 0:18:34.760 --> 0:18:38.119 behind the three point line to night for eighteen points overall. 0:18:38.240 --> 0:18:41.320 Four Your six Ers swing man Dario Sharks again getting 0:18:41.320 --> 0:18:43.840 into the mix, knocking down another three pointer to make 0:18:43.880 --> 0:18:46.639 it thirty seven to thirty seven. Going back and forth 0:18:47.560 --> 0:18:51.040 six tie part me six ties, one lead change overall 0:18:51.080 --> 0:18:52.639 in the game, but he kept going. It seemed like 0:18:52.680 --> 0:18:54.479 they were going back and forth trying to catch up. 0:18:54.480 --> 0:18:57.720 They finally could not. Then again Will Barton just on 0:18:57.960 --> 0:19:00.440 fire in the first half. He had back to threes 0:19:00.480 --> 0:19:02.320 here at three of them back out top Bill Sap, 0:19:02.359 --> 0:19:04.360 Bill Stap between two defenders at the right side part 0:19:04.840 --> 0:19:07.840 his three is good Again Will Barton is four for 0:19:08.080 --> 0:19:12.520 five from three and Denver goes up forty two thirty nine, 0:19:12.880 --> 0:19:16.240 filling in for an injured Gary Harris. Will Barton again 0:19:16.359 --> 0:19:18.480 four or five At that point, Tom again is pointed 0:19:18.480 --> 0:19:21.280 out to make it forty five thirty nine at the 0:19:21.560 --> 0:19:24.720 end of two quarters fifty nine fifty one Denver. But 0:19:24.840 --> 0:19:26.840 as we talked about with Tom again, it's the Sixers 0:19:26.880 --> 0:19:29.680 are seemingly starting to find their way where they can 0:19:29.800 --> 0:19:31.600 now turn it up in the third and not be 0:19:31.720 --> 0:19:34.840 the other ones, allowing the opposition to do that to them. 0:19:35.119 --> 0:19:37.719 JJ Reddick comes out of the locker room to make 0:19:37.760 --> 0:19:40.480 it fifty nine to fifty four. Then Joe Ellen beat 0:19:40.600 --> 0:19:43.320 and JJ Reddick with two great back to back police 0:19:43.840 --> 0:19:46.440 charge with a Dario after a spurt in the first 0:19:46.480 --> 0:19:48.600 quarter which he ended up with ten points, has not 0:19:48.760 --> 0:19:53.200 scorts skins Hip, p a slap, he Poster, riss Paul Bill, 0:19:53.280 --> 0:19:56.960 slam Hey towery right here jam Hander on their feet 0:19:57.320 --> 0:20:00.159 be knocked out by Yokis knocks them all away, run 0:20:00.200 --> 0:20:03.120 up the Simons, Simmons out the Dario. Now JJ threep 0:20:03.119 --> 0:20:05.960 on in the air. It's good. J J. Runner knocks 0:20:06.040 --> 0:20:10.040 it down. Great sequence there by the Sixers both offensively 0:20:10.080 --> 0:20:12.119 and defensively, starting with the dunk by and b to 0:20:12.200 --> 0:20:15.280 make it sixty two fifty six. Great defensive stands while 0:20:15.280 --> 0:20:17.520 he was falling down, knocked it out of Jokis's hand 0:20:17.760 --> 0:20:20.480 to give JJ Reddick an opportunity to make it sixty 0:20:20.520 --> 0:20:23.560 two fifty nine on that deep shot from behind the line. 0:20:23.680 --> 0:20:26.240 Dario Sharston followed up with another three of his own 0:20:26.320 --> 0:20:28.720 to tie it up at sixty four. The Sixers never 0:20:28.880 --> 0:20:32.360 looked back as Sarge went again. Daria scharge with another 0:20:32.440 --> 0:20:34.760 basket in an and one to make it sixty nine 0:20:35.000 --> 0:20:37.480 sixty four. Then he had another layup to make it 0:20:37.560 --> 0:20:40.400 seventy one sixty four and the seventeen to two run 0:20:40.800 --> 0:20:44.760 for the home team. Marco Marquelle Folks back in the mix. 0:20:45.000 --> 0:20:47.800 The run had already started. He got into it himself. 0:20:48.160 --> 0:20:50.920 Here cop Mark Foltz turns out of the dribble. Good lay, 0:20:50.960 --> 0:20:54.520 reverse lap. That's good. Faults with us back in the basket. Hey, 0:20:54.680 --> 0:20:59.359 circus shot? Is it? Seven points? Sexiously in the crowd. 0:21:00.640 --> 0:21:02.639 You could see it in Mark l. Folks as bounces 0:21:02.680 --> 0:21:05.360 as he was coming up the floor. The opportunity was there. 0:21:05.480 --> 0:21:09.000 Great finish on that acrobatic layup for the number one 0:21:09.040 --> 0:21:12.320 overall pick that made it eighty one seventy four sixers. 0:21:12.359 --> 0:21:14.760 They were definitely in play at that point. At going 0:21:14.880 --> 0:21:18.760 into the fourth quarter, Robert Cummington again with eighteen points, 0:21:18.800 --> 0:21:21.520
