WEBVTT - The BroadCast: 3/10/2019 ~ Rewind vs. Pacers

0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:04.000
<v Speaker 1>This is seventy Sixers rewind time now to listen back

0:00:04.040 --> 0:00:08.600
<v Speaker 1>to postgame reaction from the team's most recent game. Joel

0:00:08.640 --> 0:00:11.080
<v Speaker 1>Embide was not just back, he was back to by

0:00:11.119 --> 0:00:12.760
<v Speaker 1>the end of the afternoon, what looked to be his

0:00:12.840 --> 0:00:16.000
<v Speaker 1>old former self, and that is a great self to be.

0:00:16.760 --> 0:00:19.239
<v Speaker 1>Brian Seltzer from the center in the aftermath of a

0:00:19.440 --> 0:00:21.960
<v Speaker 1>nice one oh six eighty nine victory for the seventy

0:00:22.000 --> 0:00:25.880
<v Speaker 1>Sixers over the Indiana Pacers. Joel Embide the headliner thirty

0:00:25.880 --> 0:00:29.720
<v Speaker 1>three points, twelve rebounds. He had two steals plus sixteen

0:00:29.840 --> 0:00:32.000
<v Speaker 1>in the game, eleven of twenty one from the field.

0:00:32.360 --> 0:00:35.279
<v Speaker 1>In the fourth quarter alone, he had eighteen points and

0:00:35.400 --> 0:00:37.960
<v Speaker 1>was six of six from the floor, missing just one

0:00:38.080 --> 0:00:41.920
<v Speaker 1>of seven free throws opportunity. It's was that good. By

0:00:41.960 --> 0:00:43.640
<v Speaker 1>the end of the day for the two time All Star,

0:00:43.760 --> 0:00:46.559
<v Speaker 1>seventy Sixers earn a great win over the Pacers. They

0:00:46.640 --> 0:00:50.160
<v Speaker 1>move into third place in the Eastern Conference standings, even

0:00:50.240 --> 0:00:53.360
<v Speaker 1>though the Sixers and Pacers are even in terms of

0:00:53.960 --> 0:00:57.240
<v Speaker 1>one loss record at forty two and twenty five. Even

0:00:57.280 --> 0:01:00.680
<v Speaker 1>more significant than that, it's the Sixers have the upper

0:01:00.720 --> 0:01:04.120
<v Speaker 1>hand over Indiana for a tiebreaker should one be necessary

0:01:04.280 --> 0:01:06.840
<v Speaker 1>in about four weeks time, when the regular season comes

0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:09.240
<v Speaker 1>to an end and it's time to sort out playoff

0:01:09.280 --> 0:01:12.840
<v Speaker 1>Seaton and Bead was great. As you heard Brett Brown say,

0:01:12.920 --> 0:01:15.720
<v Speaker 1>or perhaps you did not, he was curious to see

0:01:15.760 --> 0:01:18.679
<v Speaker 1>what Joel Embiid would look like from a fatigue standpoint,

0:01:18.760 --> 0:01:21.679
<v Speaker 1>having not played in a regular season game since February

0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:24.679
<v Speaker 1>the thirteenth against the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden.

0:01:24.959 --> 0:01:27.560
<v Speaker 1>There was no question the first two stints Joe had

0:01:27.560 --> 0:01:30.480
<v Speaker 1>in the game, both in the first quarter yield rusty

0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:33.679
<v Speaker 1>trying to knock off some of that rust and find

0:01:33.760 --> 0:01:37.280
<v Speaker 1>his way, find a rhythm, find his groove. In the

0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:41.080
<v Speaker 1>third quarter, from there on out he was pretty much dominant.

0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:43.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you retrace the steps of this one when

0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:47.200
<v Speaker 1>the seventy six ers went on a massive run to

0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:49.360
<v Speaker 1>take control of this game. There's a bunch of different

0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:50.920
<v Speaker 1>ways you could cut that run up. The one that

0:01:50.920 --> 0:01:53.880
<v Speaker 1>will use here for our postgame show purposes is going

0:01:53.960 --> 0:01:56.320
<v Speaker 1>to be a twenty seven to eight stretched from the

0:01:57.160 --> 0:02:00.800
<v Speaker 1>let's say minute mark of the third quarter. Joe had

0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:03.360
<v Speaker 1>a big layp during that and that seemed to unlock

0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:06.120
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers, get them going, and then there were small

0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:08.760
<v Speaker 1>things that did by just the mere matter of his

0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:12.720
<v Speaker 1>physical presence being out there affecting things on the defensive end,

0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:15.520
<v Speaker 1>making life more difficult for the Pacers. I mean, you

0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:18.880
<v Speaker 1>look down the stat sheet for Indiana, Thaddius Young three

0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:23.320
<v Speaker 1>of ten, Miles Turner two of seven, Demanta Sabonis one

0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:27.639
<v Speaker 1>of seven. Those are the top three big men essentially

0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:30.280
<v Speaker 1>for Indiana. And when they put up unefficient numbers, I

0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:33.760
<v Speaker 1>should say inefficient numbers like that, and Joel Embiid happens

0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:36.200
<v Speaker 1>to be back in the line for the Philadelphia seventy sixers,

0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:38.480
<v Speaker 1>it would be a stretch to say that that was

0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:43.639
<v Speaker 1>just a coincidence. Ebid physically imposing and in twenty eight

0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:46.239
<v Speaker 1>minutes puts up a great stat line, getting the free

0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:50.400
<v Speaker 1>throw line going eleven of fifteen overall, looked like his

0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:52.720
<v Speaker 1>old self, and that was a great thing for a

0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:56.000
<v Speaker 1>Sixers team that is trying to intensify and increase its

0:02:56.000 --> 0:03:00.320
<v Speaker 1>push into postseason play. Ben Simmons plus nineteen over all.

0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:05.200
<v Speaker 1>He had fifteen points, six assists, and four rebounds in

0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:08.880
<v Speaker 1>the game. Mike Scott eight points, six rebounds. He was

0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:12.240
<v Speaker 1>a plus twenty in twenty five minutes. Good stuff from

0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:14.800
<v Speaker 1>him four of eight from the field, and he also

0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:17.399
<v Speaker 1>had sixteen points from Tobias Harris to go with eight

0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:21.000
<v Speaker 1>boards and four dimes. Jimmy Butler with twelve points, four

0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:23.680
<v Speaker 1>rebounds and four assists. We're gonna ring Tom McGinnis now

0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:26.919
<v Speaker 1>after the seventy six ers one oh six eighty nine victory.

0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:30.120
<v Speaker 1>Actually I beg your pardon. Let us go to the

0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:33.440
<v Speaker 1>man known as Joe, who's at the postgame press conference

0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:36.920
<v Speaker 1>putting as the game kept going, Uh, you know, I

0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:40.560
<v Speaker 1>just kept getting better again to the law up, the

0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:43.600
<v Speaker 1>law too so and the game slow that slowing down

0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:49.800
<v Speaker 1>from me. But my focus was really defensively just by

0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:53.280
<v Speaker 1>the way we've been playing and the way we were playing.

0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:57.320
<v Speaker 1>So I fell had to. You know, I don't think

0:03:57.320 --> 0:04:00.240
<v Speaker 1>I had the block shots it did, but just being

0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:04.080
<v Speaker 1>all over the players, helping my teammates, and uh, I'm

0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:06.840
<v Speaker 1>glad we got to win. Bred said before the game

0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:09.440
<v Speaker 1>that you played five on five yesterday for about seventy

0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:12.400
<v Speaker 1>five minutes. What did that tell you about where you were?

0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:14.440
<v Speaker 1>You know, did it give an indication that you could

0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:16.000
<v Speaker 1>play as much as you did today and be sharp

0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:21.039
<v Speaker 1>as you were? Uh? Yesterday basically told me that I

0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:24.040
<v Speaker 1>wasn't ready because yesterday after every game, I was on

0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:28.080
<v Speaker 1>the floor crime for my life. Uh Uh, So I

0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:30.960
<v Speaker 1>didn't think I was gonna come in and uh, you

0:04:31.040 --> 0:04:34.200
<v Speaker 1>know play uh the whole, the whole, the goal of

0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:37.279
<v Speaker 1>it this game was basically he thought I could only

0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:41.440
<v Speaker 1>played twenty four minutes and depending on my conditioning. And

0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:44.440
<v Speaker 1>I told him I was, let's just go with the

0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:47.039
<v Speaker 1>flow of the game. Man, I'm glad we gotta we

0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:50.080
<v Speaker 1>got a chance to west me at the end. The

0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:54.599
<v Speaker 1>past couple of weeks been like for you watching fred sidelines,

0:04:56.080 --> 0:05:00.120
<v Speaker 1>you know from back home, he's been hard because you

0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:04.520
<v Speaker 1>want to be out there and uh for for the

0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:06.919
<v Speaker 1>people that I know me, Uh, you know, I hate

0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:10.680
<v Speaker 1>uh now playing. I always want to play, and I

0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:14.680
<v Speaker 1>always pushed to play. Uh. But at the end of

0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:16.880
<v Speaker 1>the day, you know, got to trust all these guys

0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:22.440
<v Speaker 1>and um we we've all done a great job as

0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:25.200
<v Speaker 1>far as getting me back on the court, taking a

0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:30.560
<v Speaker 1>wider push. And I'm sure at some point, uh in

0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:33.880
<v Speaker 1>these last fitting games, I'm gonna miss a game, just

0:05:34.040 --> 0:05:37.039
<v Speaker 1>like make sure that I'm good to go for the playoffs.

0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:39.840
<v Speaker 1>But they've been doing a great job from the coaching style,

0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:43.559
<v Speaker 1>to the medical staff, to the fun office, and uh,

0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:46.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, he walked out with it well and I

0:05:46.520 --> 0:05:50.440
<v Speaker 1>feel better. One of the things seventy six Ers two

0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:53.920
<v Speaker 1>time All Star joelling me thirty three points twelve rebounds

0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:56.800
<v Speaker 1>in the win this afternoon over Indiana, one of six

0:05:56.920 --> 0:06:00.240
<v Speaker 1>eighty nine. He was pretty awesome time, especially as game

0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:04.160
<v Speaker 1>went on right and again, like so he played seventy

0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:07.080
<v Speaker 1>five minutes of pickup and then he plays in an

0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:09.760
<v Speaker 1>NBA game the night. If he's fine tomorrow, that's a

0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:11.839
<v Speaker 1>really good sign for the Sixers because you'd think there'd

0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:14.600
<v Speaker 1>be some soreness there if in fact, you know, I

0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:16.560
<v Speaker 1>don't know anything, but if a guy's been out for

0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:18.960
<v Speaker 1>eight games and two plus week with left knee ten

0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:20.599
<v Speaker 1>the nightis that would be a huge sign for the

0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:23.640
<v Speaker 1>Sixers if he's rarer to go for Tuesday, and you

0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:26.440
<v Speaker 1>would think he would be. But I'm just saying understandable.

0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:29.839
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, And like Brett Brown said, I said it

0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:32.080
<v Speaker 1>during the course of the game. If you watched the game,

0:06:32.120 --> 0:06:33.760
<v Speaker 1>you could tell he did. He got better as the

0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:37.480
<v Speaker 1>game went along, and Brett Brown kept saying balance, you know,

0:06:37.560 --> 0:06:39.480
<v Speaker 1>I was putting in a different way. He was falling

0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:42.240
<v Speaker 1>down and whatnot. He was all over the place, but

0:06:42.360 --> 0:06:47.040
<v Speaker 1>that is amazing to get better after a shaky start.

0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:49.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he had a lot of rebounds early, but

0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:51.560
<v Speaker 1>a lot of those were taps off field goals he

0:06:51.640 --> 0:06:54.560
<v Speaker 1>missed and you get credit for a rebound for that.

0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:58.400
<v Speaker 1>And then he was fantastic that one play on the

0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:01.240
<v Speaker 1>left wing by the Pacers bend where out of a

0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:04.320
<v Speaker 1>time out he crosses over Miles Turner and gets in

0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:07.920
<v Speaker 1>the half court from that angle basically like a breakaway dunk.

0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:10.920
<v Speaker 1>That was so impressive, and that's where the skill set

0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:14.720
<v Speaker 1>of this guy is just off the charts. He was

0:07:14.880 --> 0:07:19.040
<v Speaker 1>really dominant as the game went along, and that's that's

0:07:19.080 --> 0:07:21.880
<v Speaker 1>why he's an exceptional that's why he's a unique talent.

0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:25.120
<v Speaker 1>And so for the Sixers it was huge. And guess what,

0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:28.600
<v Speaker 1>they don't win this game without him because they struggled mightily,

0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:31.560
<v Speaker 1>particularly in that second quarter, and then they turned the

0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:35.040
<v Speaker 1>tables in part because of India's presence. But as Brett

0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:37.840
<v Speaker 1>Brown said, they just got better defensively, didn't change anything,

0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:42.360
<v Speaker 1>that's what he's talking about, No skim schematic alterations. They

0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:44.640
<v Speaker 1>just played better defense, ran them off on line and

0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:47.880
<v Speaker 1>Indiana had a tough, tough goal of it. And let's

0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:50.040
<v Speaker 1>be honest too, and I mentioned throughout the course of

0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:52.200
<v Speaker 1>the game there were a lot of fouls and a

0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:54.600
<v Speaker 1>lot of fouls for both team, but they're big guys,

0:07:54.640 --> 0:07:58.360
<v Speaker 1>Sabonus and Turner got a lot of foul calls against

0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:01.000
<v Speaker 1>them and that got them out of rida. Bonus actually

0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:04.640
<v Speaker 1>played probably more than Turner in the game, and look bright,

0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:07.600
<v Speaker 1>Turner twenty seven point He was really good. Now from

0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:10.560
<v Speaker 1>what I gather in that game against Milwaukee, they kind

0:08:10.560 --> 0:08:13.640
<v Speaker 1>of let him shoot some long range shots out front

0:08:13.920 --> 0:08:16.360
<v Speaker 1>and he ended up with twenty seven points as a result.

0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:19.360
<v Speaker 1>But he was really and Matthews was not a factor

0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:21.960
<v Speaker 1>in this game. So they had a lot of things

0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:25.040
<v Speaker 1>that didn't go their way. But the Sixers took this

0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:29.400
<v Speaker 1>game by control and never let up after that really aggressive,

0:08:29.440 --> 0:08:33.080
<v Speaker 1>dominant third quarter and be thirty three points, twelve rebounds

0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:34.559
<v Speaker 1>in this one. And one of the things we talked

0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:37.360
<v Speaker 1>about Tom before the game was seventy six Ers defense,

0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:39.040
<v Speaker 1>it's going to have to get to a different level

0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:41.840
<v Speaker 1>for this to go well in the playoffs. And you

0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:44.920
<v Speaker 1>would think you would presume, and yeah, what we saw

0:08:44.920 --> 0:08:47.800
<v Speaker 1>in the second half that was locking in. That was

0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:51.080
<v Speaker 1>a team that looked like it was loaded for bear

0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:54.120
<v Speaker 1>Dan up doing things well, and they really just made

0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:57.360
<v Speaker 1>life pretty difficult from Dan right, and difficult can take

0:08:57.440 --> 0:09:00.959
<v Speaker 1>different forms. But if you're in a post team and

0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:04.000
<v Speaker 1>you're you're first of all, a team like that puts

0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:06.720
<v Speaker 1>its imprint that, like the Sixers have always said, make

0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:09.520
<v Speaker 1>them feel you, and that means you know, getting afford,

0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:13.000
<v Speaker 1>stepping up defensively, and it alters what you're trying to

0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:15.480
<v Speaker 1>do on offense. In other words, if it's Collinson with

0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:18.319
<v Speaker 1>a dribble drive or Wes Matthews coming off a screen

0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:21.320
<v Speaker 1>and they're right there greeting you with physicality and not

0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:24.720
<v Speaker 1>letting things get through them, and there's there's help. They're

0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:28.200
<v Speaker 1>sliding over and everybody's rotating well, and then you got

0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:30.800
<v Speaker 1>to be back in the middle. Altering what a guy

0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:33.280
<v Speaker 1>might do on a drive or pulling up too soon

0:09:33.400 --> 0:09:35.920
<v Speaker 1>and then running people off the line. It comes in

0:09:36.000 --> 0:09:38.360
<v Speaker 1>a lot of forms. Including his coach, Brown talked about

0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:42.120
<v Speaker 1>deflections and really disrupting their offense and they did it

0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:45.760
<v Speaker 1>on multiple levels. And that's right, and you aren't. You're

0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:47.680
<v Speaker 1>not gonna win because he looked at this low score,

0:09:47.720 --> 0:09:49.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean one six to eighty nine. The Sixers average

0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:52.000
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and fifteen. The Pacers this is one of

0:09:52.000 --> 0:09:54.800
<v Speaker 1>their lowest scoring games of the year. And that's when

0:09:54.840 --> 0:09:56.160
<v Speaker 1>it's going to take you. You know, you got a

0:09:56.240 --> 0:10:00.520
<v Speaker 1>knuckle down and defend because the possessions down stretch are

0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:02.640
<v Speaker 1>just huge. And there was that long stretch where the

0:10:02.640 --> 0:10:05.760
<v Speaker 1>Sixers it was a two point lead and they finally

0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:07.480
<v Speaker 1>were able to open it up and extend it to

0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:10.439
<v Speaker 1>double digit and win. Going away seventy Sixers over the

0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:12.960
<v Speaker 1>Pacers one oh six eighty nine. They get the tiebreaker

0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:15.280
<v Speaker 1>and the season series. Last thing I'll leave you on

0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:17.680
<v Speaker 1>tom We got a shout out Amir Johnson. Right. The

0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:20.199
<v Speaker 1>man got in probably a little bit after two thirty

0:10:20.200 --> 0:10:22.520
<v Speaker 1>three in the morning yesterday. That's just when the team

0:10:22.559 --> 0:10:24.959
<v Speaker 1>got back from Houston, Texas found the game on Friday.

0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:27.120
<v Speaker 1>Plays in the G League for the Blue Coats for

0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:30.080
<v Speaker 1>about twenty some minutes. I thought he gave pretty good relief,

0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:32.559
<v Speaker 1>finished with seven rebounds for on the offensive glass. He

0:10:32.800 --> 0:10:36.040
<v Speaker 1>helped hold the fourth down when Joel was either buying

0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:37.920
<v Speaker 1>time to get rhythm or it was just simply taking

0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:40.680
<v Speaker 1>a breather. No it's it's it's quite a story. He

0:10:40.720 --> 0:10:44.120
<v Speaker 1>had some turnovers here in this game, but you know,

0:10:44.360 --> 0:10:46.400
<v Speaker 1>come on, the mire was the odd man out throughout

0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:49.959
<v Speaker 1>much of this season after playing quite a bit last year,

0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:53.280
<v Speaker 1>and is able to start earlier this week a couple

0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:57.200
<v Speaker 1>of times and steps up and contributes and you know,

0:10:57.240 --> 0:11:00.240
<v Speaker 1>it's one thing to buy time and play with well

0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:02.520
<v Speaker 1>on the bench, but it's a whole nother thing you're

0:11:02.559 --> 0:11:05.240
<v Speaker 1>expected to perform, and he was able to do that.

0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:07.600
<v Speaker 1>He got on the glass and you know, he takes

0:11:07.679 --> 0:11:10.600
<v Speaker 1>and makes open shots. He had a three he missed.

0:11:11.000 --> 0:11:14.319
<v Speaker 1>But it's a story, really, and that's why you bring

0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:17.480
<v Speaker 1>in a guy like Amir Johnson. And again, people might

0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:20.720
<v Speaker 1>only look at the numbers and you know, like why

0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:22.840
<v Speaker 1>is this guy on the team. There could be this

0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:25.280
<v Speaker 1>guy or that guy, But when you're around the team

0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:28.040
<v Speaker 1>and you're around a guy like that, he has really

0:11:28.360 --> 0:11:32.240
<v Speaker 1>a tremendous leadership quality and he's been a terrific veteran

0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:34.760
<v Speaker 1>for this group, and he proved it again with his

0:11:34.880 --> 0:11:38.920
<v Speaker 1>play in today's game. Alredy Tom talked to you on

0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:41.120
<v Speaker 1>Tuesday when the seventy sixers are back at it against

0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:45.240
<v Speaker 1>the Cleveland Cavaliers. You gotta thank you Sixers a key

0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:48.240
<v Speaker 1>victory with playoff implications over the Pacers one oh six

0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:50.959
<v Speaker 1>eighty nine. The Big Fellow was huge. We'll hear some

0:11:51.000 --> 0:11:53.600

<v Speaker 1>two one five three three nine, seven, six seven six.

0:12:33.800 --> 0:12:36.400
<v Speaker 1>Seventy six Ers back at home after a tough two

0:12:36.480 --> 0:12:39.600
<v Speaker 1>game road trip to end last week, and also Joel

0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:42.520
<v Speaker 1>Embiide returning to the lineup for the first time since

0:12:42.559 --> 0:12:45.360
<v Speaker 1>the All Star Game break. Both of those things very good,

0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:47.640
<v Speaker 1>and as we hit the highlights from today's game. It

0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:51.040
<v Speaker 1>was just regardless of what it made the score. Good

0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:54.720
<v Speaker 1>to hear about this development. Here's Joel cut off by

0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:57.960
<v Speaker 1>Boydanovitch a turn but dot for long. He goes Colm

0:12:57.960 --> 0:13:02.000
<v Speaker 1>all right and bench it in and beats first bucket back,

0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:04.439
<v Speaker 1>making it a four to two seventy sixers lead. But

0:13:04.559 --> 0:13:07.280
<v Speaker 1>this one figured, given how close the seventy sixers and

0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:09.920
<v Speaker 1>Pacers were in the standings, to be a tough battle

0:13:10.000 --> 0:13:11.839
<v Speaker 1>from the outset, and it was early on in the

0:13:11.880 --> 0:13:15.400
<v Speaker 1>first quarter. First quarter had six ties seven lead changes,

0:13:15.440 --> 0:13:18.160
<v Speaker 1>seventy Sixers in front by just a point twenty six

0:13:18.320 --> 0:13:20.839
<v Speaker 1>twenty five after twelve minutes of play, and it was

0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:23.679
<v Speaker 1>the Pacers that set tone start quarter number two. The

0:13:23.760 --> 0:13:26.120
<v Speaker 1>seventy sixers turning to another all start to try and

0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:28.480
<v Speaker 1>get some momentum back. Here's a drive by Ben. It

0:13:28.559 --> 0:13:30.480
<v Speaker 1>gets right to the cup and lays it in Ben

0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:33.520
<v Speaker 1>Simmons right down Broad Street with a right hand layup.

0:13:33.760 --> 0:13:36.640
<v Speaker 1>Sixers battle back as they pulled it to within six

0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:39.920
<v Speaker 1>thirty nine thirty three, with the Pacers not too long

0:13:40.000 --> 0:13:42.640
<v Speaker 1>after that would open up a double figure advantage. In

0:13:42.679 --> 0:13:45.200
<v Speaker 1>the seventy sixers played a bit of catchup. They went

0:13:45.280 --> 0:13:48.400
<v Speaker 1>on a nice little spurt to get back within three

0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:51.120
<v Speaker 1>points in the closing minutes in the first half. Indiana

0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:54.199
<v Speaker 1>responded shortly thereafter. They got it up to a fifty nine,

0:13:54.280 --> 0:13:56.920
<v Speaker 1>a fifty one lead going into the third quarter, and

0:13:57.120 --> 0:13:59.319
<v Speaker 1>that was when things started to turn around. There was

0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:02.320
<v Speaker 1>one layup that Joel Embiad had that gave the Sixers

0:14:02.360 --> 0:14:04.520
<v Speaker 1>a particular boost, and from there they just started to

0:14:04.600 --> 0:14:07.360
<v Speaker 1>run with it. Matthews at the arc and beat goes

0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:09.600
<v Speaker 1>out passes in the lane and picked off by seven

0:14:09.840 --> 0:14:12.000
<v Speaker 1>Sixers going left the right, Ben sevens out to JJ

0:14:12.360 --> 0:14:15.120
<v Speaker 1>to catch the shot. The tree hold that by J. J.

0:14:15.400 --> 0:14:18.360
<v Speaker 1>Reddick his third trey, and the Sixers have put up

0:14:18.400 --> 0:14:22.280
<v Speaker 1>the three sixty three to sixty. The Sixers kept coming.

0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:25.760
<v Speaker 1>They would close the third quarter on a fantastic spurt.

0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:29.360
<v Speaker 1>Twenty one to eight was what they outscored the Pacers

0:14:29.440 --> 0:14:31.320
<v Speaker 1>down the stretch of the third quarter. As a result,

0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:35.120
<v Speaker 1>they led a large seventy two to well large eventually

0:14:35.240 --> 0:14:38.280
<v Speaker 1>seventy two to seventy going into the fourth, and Joel

0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:40.320
<v Speaker 1>Embad helped the Sixers get things going not too long

0:14:40.400 --> 0:14:42.880
<v Speaker 1>after that. In the fourth Jimmy Butler with his screen

0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:46.400
<v Speaker 1>by Joel jumps at, throws at Joe, I beat down

0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:50.320
<v Speaker 1>low and duns it as bonus. Well done if beat

0:14:50.360 --> 0:14:52.920
<v Speaker 1>down low left good feat by Jimmy and Joel with

0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:56.600
<v Speaker 1>a slam dunk jeep and going seventy four seventy was

0:14:56.680 --> 0:14:59.360
<v Speaker 1>the score at that point. Joel Embiid had his best

0:14:59.400 --> 0:15:02.840
<v Speaker 1>stretch the final frame. Here's t j with it up

0:15:02.880 --> 0:15:05.200
<v Speaker 1>top to Joel. He's gonna fake a three some Botis

0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:07.680
<v Speaker 1>gets into the air, Joel goes around that puts it

0:15:07.800 --> 0:15:11.160
<v Speaker 1>in and a foul and it beat extendes her and

0:15:11.400 --> 0:15:15.280
<v Speaker 1>tells the crowd. Let me hear you. What he actually

0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:17.760
<v Speaker 1>told the crowd was I am back. That's what you

0:15:17.840 --> 0:15:20.440
<v Speaker 1>could read his lips he said on that particular play.

0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:23.280
<v Speaker 1>And indeed, by the end of the afternoon, and sure

0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:25.800
<v Speaker 1>as heck looked like at the seventy Sixers with a

0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:29.920
<v Speaker 1>great opportunity on the outside to keep Indiana at arm's

0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:32.760
<v Speaker 1>length in the final minutes. So Botus that throws it

0:15:32.840 --> 0:15:35.760
<v Speaker 1>away a mirror with a steel Mike Scott with a

0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:40.720
<v Speaker 1>Scott to the corner, Enis for three good. James Edis

0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:44.720
<v Speaker 1>puts it in and the Sixers lead ninety two seventy

0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:48.520
<v Speaker 1>seven time out Indiana with six minutes ago. We'll give

0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:50.640
<v Speaker 1>you one more Joel and beat. Highlight from what was

0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:53.960
<v Speaker 1>a really encouraging first game back today against Indiana, big

0:15:53.960 --> 0:15:57.080
<v Speaker 1>possession for the Sixers, juela beat outside, leaf crosses overturners

0:15:57.080 --> 0:15:59.400
<v Speaker 1>gets fine and dump said, whoa, what a play might

0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:02.000
<v Speaker 1>it be? By far and away, it's best play in

0:16:02.160 --> 0:16:06.160
<v Speaker 1>the game. Fluid motion, wicked crossover drives at duncton. I'm

0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:09.040
<v Speaker 1>a left wig on turner Duel now with twenty six

0:16:10.080 --> 0:16:12.360
<v Speaker 1>might have been one of Duel's best plays of the season,

0:16:12.560 --> 0:16:17.000
<v Speaker 1>especially given the fact that he'd missed almost a full month.

0:16:17.520 --> 0:16:19.720
<v Speaker 1>And Bead powers the seventy six ers to a one

0:16:19.760 --> 0:16:22.360
<v Speaker 1>oh six eighty nine win. And amazing, just like that,

0:16:22.960 --> 0:16:24.640
<v Speaker 1>you get your best player back, one of the best

0:16:24.720 --> 0:16:28.080
<v Speaker 1>highest impact players in the league, and incredibly, you look

0:16:28.120 --> 0:16:30.520
<v Speaker 1>what happens, You play a lot better basketball, and you

0:16:30.640 --> 0:16:32.600
<v Speaker 1>beat a very good team to pick up a very

0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:35.720
<v Speaker 1>important win. All right, Sixers shoot forty three and a

0:16:35.720 --> 0:16:38.040
<v Speaker 1>half percent for the game, the Pacers thirty seven a

0:16:38.080 --> 0:16:40.840
<v Speaker 1>half percent, six or seven or twenty three from outside

0:16:40.840 --> 0:16:43.560
<v Speaker 1>the arc. Indiana was five or sixteen, six or twenty

0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:46.880
<v Speaker 1>three or thirty from the stripe Indiana costly twenty two

0:16:47.000 --> 0:16:50.760
<v Speaker 1>of thirty seven him is fifteen free throw opportunities, and

0:16:51.000 --> 0:16:53.800
<v Speaker 1>that certainly was something that loomed large when the Pacers

0:16:53.840 --> 0:16:56.920
<v Speaker 1>went ice cold in the second half. Sixers outrebound in

0:16:57.000 --> 0:17:00.560
<v Speaker 1>Indiana by eight by one of the offensive glass, Sixers

0:17:00.640 --> 0:17:04.040
<v Speaker 1>just thirteen turnovers fourteen for Indiana. Joel Embiad, with the

0:17:04.080 --> 0:17:06.280
<v Speaker 1>game high thirty three points, also had a game high

0:17:06.400 --> 0:17:09.920
<v Speaker 1>twelve rebounds, and he really made life difficult for front

0:17:09.960 --> 0:17:13.840
<v Speaker 1>court players from the Pacers, guys like Fatties Young three

0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:18.480
<v Speaker 1>of ten overall, Demantes Sabonis one of seven, Miles Turner

0:17:18.560 --> 0:17:20.359
<v Speaker 1>two of seven. Certainly that had a lot to do

0:17:20.400 --> 0:17:23.480
<v Speaker 1>with Joel Embiad being out there. Ben Simmons with fifteen points,

0:17:23.520 --> 0:17:26.479
<v Speaker 1>four rebounds, six assists, sixteen points, eight boards. For Tobias

0:17:26.520 --> 0:17:29.760
<v Speaker 1>Harris he had four dimes. Two Jimmy Butler with twelve points,

0:17:29.960 --> 0:17:33.119
<v Speaker 1>four rebounds, four assists off the bench, Mike Scott with

0:17:33.320 --> 0:17:36.960
<v Speaker 1>eight points. He was a plus twenty in twenty five minutes.

0:17:36.960 --> 0:17:40.159
<v Speaker 1>He also had six rebounds, two assists and two steals

0:17:40.200 --> 0:17:42.840
<v Speaker 1>for the seventy sixers in a nice win over the Pacers.

0:17:42.920 --> 0:17:45.119
<v Speaker 1>These two teams finished with the same record after the

0:17:45.200 --> 0:17:48.359
<v Speaker 1>game forty two and twenty five. But it's the seventy
