WEBVTT - Rewind vs. Atlanta Hawks - 2/24/20

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:03.400
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to rewind, They listen back on press conferences,

0:00:03.480 --> 0:00:10.959
<v Speaker 1>highlights and analysis from the seventy sixers previous game. Seventy

0:00:11.000 --> 0:00:14.280
<v Speaker 1>Sixers get past the Atlanta Hawks one twenty nine to

0:00:14.480 --> 0:00:18.919
<v Speaker 1>one twelve, here at home. Joel Embiid fantastic a career

0:00:19.040 --> 0:00:23.040
<v Speaker 1>night behind forty nine points. He was outstanding from start

0:00:23.079 --> 0:00:25.959
<v Speaker 1>to finish, the highest scoring total in a game for

0:00:26.000 --> 0:00:28.960
<v Speaker 1>a seventy Sixer since all the way back in two

0:00:29.000 --> 0:00:31.720
<v Speaker 1>thousand and five. Were you alive then? Maybe so, maybe not,

0:00:32.240 --> 0:00:36.400
<v Speaker 1>but Alan Iverson against the Atlanta Hawks ironically scored fifty

0:00:36.560 --> 0:00:40.519
<v Speaker 1>three points back in two thousand and five on December

0:00:40.560 --> 0:00:43.920
<v Speaker 1>the twenty third. But tonight, Joel Embiid was everything the

0:00:44.000 --> 0:00:47.000
<v Speaker 1>seventy Sixers needed and then some. You can't overlook a

0:00:47.040 --> 0:00:51.000
<v Speaker 1>twenty five point performance from Tobias Harris as the Sixers

0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:54.000
<v Speaker 1>in their first game without all star Ben Simmons for

0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:57.200
<v Speaker 1>who knows how long, get the job done behind a

0:00:57.320 --> 0:01:01.000
<v Speaker 1>close out fourth quarter, winning one twenty nine to one twelve.

0:01:01.400 --> 0:01:03.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm Brian Selzer. We expect to hear from Brett Brown

0:01:03.840 --> 0:01:07.120
<v Speaker 1>in just a short moment. Yes, the Sixers needed a

0:01:07.240 --> 0:01:09.640
<v Speaker 1>victory tonight, no question about it. It It was a tough

0:01:09.720 --> 0:01:12.720
<v Speaker 1>lost Saturday against the Milwaukee Bucks, but you take that,

0:01:12.880 --> 0:01:15.600
<v Speaker 1>you combine it with the news or not news of

0:01:15.600 --> 0:01:18.520
<v Speaker 1>what Ben Simmons' status is going to be beyond tonight.

0:01:18.600 --> 0:01:21.560
<v Speaker 1>No one knows yet he was after tonight, and just

0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:24.479
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers needed something positive to try and build upon

0:01:24.640 --> 0:01:27.560
<v Speaker 1>going into a back to back at Cleveland Wednesday, back

0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:30.240
<v Speaker 1>home here against the New York Knicks on Thursday before

0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:32.680
<v Speaker 1>two days off and the start of a difficult West

0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:35.560
<v Speaker 1>Coast trip that begins with games against the Clippers and

0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:39.399
<v Speaker 1>the Lakers. Yeah, the Sixers needed some good juju. They

0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:43.679
<v Speaker 1>got great Joejoe tonight forty nine points, seventeen of twenty

0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:46.640
<v Speaker 1>four from the field. He knocked down a three pointer

0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:49.520
<v Speaker 1>to put him over the top for his career high,

0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:53.400
<v Speaker 1>fourteen of fifteen from the free throw line. Just amazing

0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:57.360
<v Speaker 1>numbers for him from the stripe, fourteen boards, three assists,

0:01:57.400 --> 0:02:01.160
<v Speaker 1>three steals, and a block shot, and the Sixers to

0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:04.000
<v Speaker 1>a needed victory. We know the Sixers have been different

0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:06.160
<v Speaker 1>at home than they have been on the road. You

0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:10.240
<v Speaker 1>absolutely want to see quality games on the road, but

0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:13.679
<v Speaker 1>just looking at Joel's last two home games, I mean

0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:17.880
<v Speaker 1>these numbers are outrageous. Take the game against the Brooklyn

0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:21.520
<v Speaker 1>Nets last Thursday and tonight's game against the Atlanta Hawks,

0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:25.120
<v Speaker 1>and he has scored a combined eighty eight points, thirty

0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:27.799
<v Speaker 1>two of thirty four from the free throw line. Think

0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:31.400
<v Speaker 1>about that, thirty rebounds. Those are numbers that you can

0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:34.760
<v Speaker 1>win with. Sixers answered the call tonight. They were taking

0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:37.880
<v Speaker 1>a buy committee approach. With Ben Simmons out, they had

0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:40.399
<v Speaker 1>the lead dog and Joel emb to Bias Harris helped

0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:42.240
<v Speaker 1>get the Sixers off to a great start in their

0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:45.440
<v Speaker 1>forty one point first quarter. He scored ten points before

0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:47.680
<v Speaker 1>he subbed out for the first time on the way

0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:50.200
<v Speaker 1>to a twenty five point scoring game. And then as

0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:52.840
<v Speaker 1>far as what the Sixers did without Simmons tonight, who

0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:55.480
<v Speaker 1>initiated who handled the ball? I mean they did go

0:02:55.600 --> 0:02:59.600
<v Speaker 1>buy committee, Shake Milton with a team high six assists,

0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:03.400
<v Speaker 1>Al Horford with five dimes, to Bias Harris with four

0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:06.680
<v Speaker 1>helpers as well. And we saw Josh Richardson at the

0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:09.560
<v Speaker 1>beginning of the game and in crunch time. For the

0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:13.360
<v Speaker 1>most part, he would be the first primary ball hander

0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:15.960
<v Speaker 1>for the Sixers. Then there were times when it was

0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:18.880
<v Speaker 1>Shake Milton taking on that role for the Sixers while

0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:22.920
<v Speaker 1>playing alongside Josh Richardson a lot of instances in which

0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:26.400
<v Speaker 1>Tobias Harris brought the ball up. In the third quarter,

0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:29.880
<v Speaker 1>there was a stretch where Alec Burks was given the duty.

0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:33.600
<v Speaker 1>So the Sixers tonight trying to feel some things out

0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:35.960
<v Speaker 1>in the absence of Ben Simmons. But the biggest thing

0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:39.560
<v Speaker 1>they did they fed their other all star, the big man,

0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:42.480
<v Speaker 1>Joel Embiid. He did not disappoint. He lived in the

0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:46.360
<v Speaker 1>paint virtually the entire night, and he dominated the Atlanta Hawks,

0:03:46.680 --> 0:03:49.160
<v Speaker 1>finished with a flurry of dunks and a three pointer.

0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:52.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this is the type of four performance that

0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:55.120
<v Speaker 1>backs up comments like I'm the best player in the world.

0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:58.520
<v Speaker 1>Joel Embid certainly played like that tonight. Behind his forty

0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:02.120
<v Speaker 1>nine points, a new career high. Trey Young twenty eight

0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:04.640
<v Speaker 1>points for him down Dre Hunter with twenty two, John

0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:07.360
<v Speaker 1>Collins with twenty one for the Atlanta Hawks. But in

0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:10.920
<v Speaker 1>the big picture, the seventy Sixers they survived a somewhat

0:04:10.960 --> 0:04:14.000
<v Speaker 1>shaky third quarter. They allowed forty points the Atlanta Hawks,

0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:17.039
<v Speaker 1>but they closed things down late the defense stepped up.

0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:19.839
<v Speaker 1>The Sixers had scored the Hawks thirty eight twenty in

0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:23.159
<v Speaker 1>the fourth quarter on the way to a very needed win.

0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:25.680
<v Speaker 1>Led by as much as twenty one, let the Hawks

0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:28.039
<v Speaker 1>back in it. They took a three point lead, but

0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:31.080
<v Speaker 1>the seventy Sixers, behind Joel Embiid, they emerge as the

0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:33.600
<v Speaker 1>winners at the end of the nights. We're joined by

0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:36.080
<v Speaker 1>Tom mc ginnis now, who had the call of tonight's

0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:38.120
<v Speaker 1>game as we stand by and a wait Brest Brown's

0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:42.120
<v Speaker 1>postgame press conference. You know, Tom, some may say this

0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:44.920
<v Speaker 1>is a show me league the NBA, and Joel Embiid

0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:48.520
<v Speaker 1>came out and showed it tonight. Yeah, he was really good,

0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:50.040
<v Speaker 1>and you know, he kind of got into it a

0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:52.279
<v Speaker 1>little bit with the Wayne Deadman. You could just see

0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:55.320
<v Speaker 1>them chatty and it again. And sometimes Ebide needs something

0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:57.480
<v Speaker 1>to fire him up a little bit, and he excels

0:04:57.520 --> 0:05:00.480
<v Speaker 1>in that environment. Not that the Wayne Deadman was any

0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:03.440
<v Speaker 1>match for Joe at all. And then the ability to

0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:06.719
<v Speaker 1>make the free throws and I mean he's now These

0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:09.760
<v Speaker 1>these games are brushing up with greats in Sixers lore,

0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:13.679
<v Speaker 1>like Dolf Shays and Will Chamberlains. Some of the game numbers.

0:05:14.240 --> 0:05:18.640
<v Speaker 1>Joel with the forty plus points and rebounds, that number

0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:22.480
<v Speaker 1>over ten, So terrific job. And again they needed it,

0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:24.680
<v Speaker 1>you know. And you look at the first and the fourth,

0:05:24.960 --> 0:05:27.800
<v Speaker 1>forty one points for the Sixers in the first and

0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:31.560
<v Speaker 1>thirty eight in the fourth, and that book ended the

0:05:31.680 --> 0:05:34.239
<v Speaker 1>victory as they led by seventeen after one at halftime,

0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:36.039
<v Speaker 1>and in the end they won by seventeen due to

0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:38.920
<v Speaker 1>that strong fourth quarter and the overall play by emb I. Meantime,

0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:43.440
<v Speaker 1>the last two home games for Joel just ridiculous numbers

0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:45.800
<v Speaker 1>that he's put up. Yeah, right, and again he took

0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:48.560
<v Speaker 1>two late threes May one, but most of it is

0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:51.440
<v Speaker 1>done without taking three point shots. And a lot of people,

0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:54.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, would say that they the Sixers need him

0:05:54.160 --> 0:05:56.680
<v Speaker 1>to be on the block, and he's been dominant in

0:05:57.040 --> 0:06:00.160
<v Speaker 1>that regard. So he really played well, there's no doubt

0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:02.320
<v Speaker 1>about it. They obviously don't win this game without him.

0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:05.000
<v Speaker 1>And then Tobias Harris with a silent twenty five points,

0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:08.720
<v Speaker 1>very consistent four three's. He was hot early, but there

0:06:08.760 --> 0:06:11.000
<v Speaker 1>was nothing silent I thought about his performance in the

0:06:11.040 --> 0:06:13.120
<v Speaker 1>first quarter. He was a real big part and jump

0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:15.600
<v Speaker 1>starting the seventy six ers. And when you take that,

0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:20.120
<v Speaker 1>what Inbi did tonight furkon CORKMS with fifteen points off

0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:22.360
<v Speaker 1>the bench. He had a really key four point play

0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:24.560
<v Speaker 1>at one point to give the Sixers a boost. I mean,

0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:26.760
<v Speaker 1>this is the holistic theme that Brett Brown was talking

0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:30.920
<v Speaker 1>about that without Ben Simmons and that type of talent, yes,

0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:33.120
<v Speaker 1>you can look to your embiads and your Harris's, but

0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:35.560
<v Speaker 1>everyone's got to step up, no doubt, and I think

0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:38.960
<v Speaker 1>speaking of Tobias and for that matter, for furkon a

0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:43.400
<v Speaker 1>very aggressive offensive mindset, as did Burs and Robinson when

0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:45.760
<v Speaker 1>they were in there. Sixers beat the Hawks one twenty nine,

0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:47.720
<v Speaker 1>one twelve. We'll go right now to head coach. Brett

0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:51.880
<v Speaker 1>Brown was dominant. He was dominant making his free throws.

0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:58.080
<v Speaker 1>He was dominant as an interior presence. Scoring that volume

0:06:58.080 --> 0:07:01.680
<v Speaker 1>of points at that efficient of a of a of

0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:05.240
<v Speaker 1>a rate is impressive. Like, what do you say? I

0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:07.240
<v Speaker 1>thought the thing that doesn't show up on a statue

0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:10.200
<v Speaker 1>that he did as well as anything, is he handled

0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:13.840
<v Speaker 1>the double teams. You know, whether he passed out of

0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:17.240
<v Speaker 1>it because there was a crowd, whether he went quick

0:07:17.800 --> 0:07:21.240
<v Speaker 1>because the double teams were coming and didn't even get

0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:24.559
<v Speaker 1>himself involved in that. I thought he handled the double

0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:29.320
<v Speaker 1>teams extremely well. What did you see, and you built

0:07:29.320 --> 0:07:33.480
<v Speaker 1>a very nice lead and then it disappeared on you. Yeah. Um,

0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:36.920
<v Speaker 1>I think that you sat looking at the and ones.

0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:38.920
<v Speaker 1>You know, I think they had five and ones. I

0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:42.440
<v Speaker 1>thought physically, like we we we weren't we weren't there.

0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:44.960
<v Speaker 1>I thought the way we started the third period, I

0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:48.160
<v Speaker 1>called the time out in forty seconds, you know, and

0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:51.920
<v Speaker 1>just sort of like felt we need to to get going,

0:07:52.080 --> 0:07:54.480
<v Speaker 1>like you want to try to put teams down and

0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:56.400
<v Speaker 1>you have a lead as best you can, and it

0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:59.360
<v Speaker 1>is the NBA U there is a little bit of

0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:02.120
<v Speaker 1>human nature in that, that whole equation that I just

0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:04.680
<v Speaker 1>said by in large person, I hate the first three

0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:08.720
<v Speaker 1>minutes of NBA third periods. You know, everybody brother in

0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:10.960
<v Speaker 1>laws each other, and it takes a while to get going.

0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:16.000
<v Speaker 1>And you know, I think that that that team is

0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:18.960
<v Speaker 1>so young and they don't know what they don't know,

0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:21.640
<v Speaker 1>and then they have trade young and like it's got

0:08:22.080 --> 0:08:24.680
<v Speaker 1>it's got to look at the recent performances, you know,

0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:28.600
<v Speaker 1>trades especially, it's dangerous. And I think you know that

0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:32.800
<v Speaker 1>forty point period in the third um was a result

0:08:33.000 --> 0:08:37.920
<v Speaker 1>of that type of attitude and statistic on the end ones.

0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:40.520
<v Speaker 1>To me, why did you decide to go back to

0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:45.520
<v Speaker 1>the album um for a few reasons, Like I think

0:08:45.559 --> 0:08:48.720
<v Speaker 1>that that when you don't have been you know, you

0:08:48.760 --> 0:08:50.760
<v Speaker 1>start thinking about what are you going to do? When,

0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:52.920
<v Speaker 1>as I admitted at the start, like I look at

0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:57.040
<v Speaker 1>it as an opportunity to grow a group that that

0:08:57.160 --> 0:09:00.080
<v Speaker 1>will be playing when Ben is sitting. Ben's not going

0:09:00.120 --> 0:09:01.880
<v Speaker 1>to play forty eight minutes, and so like when you

0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:04.320
<v Speaker 1>look at a group that could play when Ben's not

0:09:04.440 --> 0:09:06.120
<v Speaker 1>even if he were with us in the game, can

0:09:06.160 --> 0:09:09.440
<v Speaker 1>I grow that environment? Can I have an opportunity to,

0:09:10.200 --> 0:09:12.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, see who might be able to be like

0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:16.240
<v Speaker 1>the backup point guard and another legitimate ball handle up.

0:09:16.640 --> 0:09:19.400
<v Speaker 1>And in that sort of whole design Al came in.

0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:22.079
<v Speaker 1>Was it a portion of can I help like jump

0:09:22.120 --> 0:09:24.520
<v Speaker 1>start him and get him going for a shua? I

0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:27.320
<v Speaker 1>thought that some of his passes tonight were elite, Like

0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:29.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how many assists he had, but he

0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:33.560
<v Speaker 1>really I thought, made some adult play, some sophisticated plays,

0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:38.360
<v Speaker 1>And I started him for those reasons. Seventy six Ers

0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:41.280
<v Speaker 1>head coach Brett Brown with some insights and thoughts following

0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:44.320
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers one twenty nine one twelve victory over the

0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:48.079
<v Speaker 1>Atlanta Hawks Joel embead flat aft dominant forty nine points,

0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:50.839
<v Speaker 1>setting a new career high fourteen rebounds in the game

0:09:50.920 --> 0:09:54.120
<v Speaker 1>as well, plus three steals and a block shot. He

0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:56.920
<v Speaker 1>was just so important for the Sixers tonight. I mean,

0:09:57.440 --> 0:09:59.880
<v Speaker 1>that's what a leader does. When your team is fa

0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:03.079
<v Speaker 1>racing some adversity. Who knows how long Ben Simmons is

0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:05.600
<v Speaker 1>going to be out for Joel came right out and

0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:08.640
<v Speaker 1>he immediately helped set the tone. He finished with thirteen

0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:11.880
<v Speaker 1>points in the first quarter. Tobias Harris had ten in

0:10:11.920 --> 0:10:15.080
<v Speaker 1>the frame. That was really encouraging to see because, let's

0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:17.600
<v Speaker 1>face it, without Simmons, those are likely going to be

0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:21.320
<v Speaker 1>your top two scoring options that you would think of

0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:24.360
<v Speaker 1>first when you're looking at who's going to score points

0:10:24.360 --> 0:10:27.480
<v Speaker 1>for the seventy six ers with no Ben Simmons. And

0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:29.640
<v Speaker 1>then you know, in bid through the middle stages the game,

0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:32.920
<v Speaker 1>he found his spots. He made some quality plays. But

0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:36.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's just in say, twenty two of Embiad's

0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:38.439
<v Speaker 1>points came in the fourth quarter. He was able to

0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:41.000
<v Speaker 1>get to the line for eight free throw attempts during

0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:44.280
<v Speaker 1>that stretch. He also had eight rebounds in the fourth period.

0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:48.079
<v Speaker 1>I mean, how many people tonight in the NBA would

0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:50.960
<v Speaker 1>take a line of twenty two points and eight rebounds.

0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:53.640
<v Speaker 1>Joe did that in less than ten and a half

0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:56.600
<v Speaker 1>minutes in the fourth quarter. I mean, this is the

0:10:56.640 --> 0:10:58.760
<v Speaker 1>type of game I don't know for anyone else out there.

0:10:58.760 --> 0:11:01.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean, would it be hard. Let's face it, You're

0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:04.600
<v Speaker 1>not going to get forty nine and fourteen every night.

0:11:04.960 --> 0:11:07.880
<v Speaker 1>But its performances like these, The way Joel went about

0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:10.280
<v Speaker 1>his business, the way he ran the floor from end

0:11:10.280 --> 0:11:13.199
<v Speaker 1>to end, and how engaged he was. I mean, this

0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:15.679
<v Speaker 1>is the stuff that you're thinking of that when obviously

0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:18.560
<v Speaker 1>Joel has been at his best. It's games like these,

0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:21.280
<v Speaker 1>not not even like the numbers, but the way he

0:11:21.320 --> 0:11:24.560
<v Speaker 1>engaged with the crowd. His energy is enthusiasm. It was

0:11:24.600 --> 0:11:27.960
<v Speaker 1>so needed for the Sixers tonight, and Joel Embiad stepped

0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:31.400
<v Speaker 1>up in a major, major way. Forty nine points, fourteen

0:11:31.400 --> 0:11:34.720
<v Speaker 1>rebounds in bead E leading the seventy sixers. Can't overlook

0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:38.520
<v Speaker 1>fifteen from fur con Quorkmas off the bench, twenty five

0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:41.640
<v Speaker 1>from Tobias Harris. I thought for the Sixers, you know,

0:11:41.720 --> 0:11:45.280
<v Speaker 1>Josh Richardson had a pretty solid game, thirteen points for him,

0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:48.839
<v Speaker 1>He had three assists, six rebounds at the beginning of

0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:50.360
<v Speaker 1>the game and down the stretch in the end, he

0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:52.840
<v Speaker 1>was the one initiating for the Sixers. Listen, it's a

0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:55.280
<v Speaker 1>different role for him. I think that when you ask

0:11:55.360 --> 0:11:58.160
<v Speaker 1>him to take on more of the ball handling responsibilities,

0:11:58.480 --> 0:11:59.920
<v Speaker 1>maybe it takes him out of the rhythm of his

0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:03.520
<v Speaker 1>scoring a little bit. So Richardson he found his spots

0:12:03.520 --> 0:12:05.880
<v Speaker 1>to night as well. And then Shake Milton, the rook

0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:09.000
<v Speaker 1>you know last year now in his second year this season.

0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:13.600
<v Speaker 1>Seven points, six assists, five rebounds. Quality game for Shake Milton.

0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:16.319
<v Speaker 1>Let's now get to some of the highlights called by

0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:18.680
<v Speaker 1>the one and only the radio man and the seventy

0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:22.800
<v Speaker 1>Sixers Tom McGinnis. Tobias Harris helped get the Sixers off

0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:24.480
<v Speaker 1>to a great start in a night they began a

0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:28.680
<v Speaker 1>stretch without Ben Simmons. Tobias Harris made both free throws

0:12:28.679 --> 0:12:32.840
<v Speaker 1>sixers by ten Orford to Tobias Harris for three and

0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:36.240
<v Speaker 1>that's good. He's two for two from beyond the yard.

0:12:36.520 --> 0:12:39.960
<v Speaker 1>Ten points. Now five in a row for him, and

0:12:40.080 --> 0:12:43.120
<v Speaker 1>that would mark Tobias Harris's scoring total in the first quarter.

0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:45.640
<v Speaker 1>That put the seventy Sixers up twenty four to eleven.

0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:49.760
<v Speaker 1>Joel Embiad had thirteen in the opening frame. Here's Josh

0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:53.280
<v Speaker 1>Richardson into Joel turns and makes a move on Fernando

0:12:53.400 --> 0:12:56.280
<v Speaker 1>up and under, then turns reverse pivot. Good. It be

0:12:56.520 --> 0:12:59.599
<v Speaker 1>not one, not two, but three different moves and a

0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:02.840
<v Speaker 1>turn around shot is good. But the seventy Sixers in

0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:05.640
<v Speaker 1>front thirty five to eighteen. They would lead forty one

0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:10.040
<v Speaker 1>to twenty four after one quarter of play. In the

0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:13.560
<v Speaker 1>second period, the seventy Sixers kept putting it on the Hawks,

0:13:13.600 --> 0:13:16.960
<v Speaker 1>Tobias Harris capping the scoring in the first half. Milton

0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:20.400
<v Speaker 1>has the ball, Hunter couldn't score it. Here's Shake Dowlo

0:13:20.559 --> 0:13:24.160
<v Speaker 1>Tobias with a jam. Great ball faked by Milton, heat

0:13:24.240 --> 0:13:27.400
<v Speaker 1>trick Tray Young and the Sixers get the slam from

0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:32.320
<v Speaker 1>Tobias Harris. Sixers margin would be sixty nine to fifty

0:13:32.360 --> 0:13:35.920
<v Speaker 1>two at intermission, but in the third quarter things would

0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:39.679
<v Speaker 1>change dramatically. The Hawks began mounting a comeback run. In

0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:43.600
<v Speaker 1>the seventy Sixers needed every basket they could get. Joel

0:13:43.760 --> 0:13:47.280
<v Speaker 1>Dribley having a real difficult time, gives it up, gets

0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:50.160
<v Speaker 1>it back, attacks a double team off balance, missed it

0:13:50.240 --> 0:13:53.640
<v Speaker 1>and then tapped it in and at no point was

0:13:53.679 --> 0:13:57.480
<v Speaker 1>that text book perfect, but it went in. The Sixers

0:13:57.559 --> 0:14:00.320
<v Speaker 1>led at that stage eighty four, but the Hawk they

0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:03.040
<v Speaker 1>scored the final eight points of the third quarter to

0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:05.960
<v Speaker 1>take a ninety two ninety one lead into the fourth.

0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:09.160
<v Speaker 1>This half, the Sixers led by as much as twenty one,

0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:11.360
<v Speaker 1>but in the fourth quarter a couple of players came

0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:14.320
<v Speaker 1>the rescue. Tobias Harris was one of them. Beat against

0:14:14.320 --> 0:14:17.640
<v Speaker 1>Fernando Ice on the right side, Shakespeare's baseline turns into

0:14:17.640 --> 0:14:20.200
<v Speaker 1>a trap, picks it up out to Tobias for three,

0:14:20.320 --> 0:14:24.840
<v Speaker 1>and Herder doubled from the strong side and it beat

0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:28.440
<v Speaker 1>kicks it back to Harris and Tobias with his fourth three.

0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:31.320
<v Speaker 1>And that speaks to the ability that Beat had throughout

0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:34.080
<v Speaker 1>the game of recognizing the double team sent Adam and

0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:37.800
<v Speaker 1>capitalizing made shots make those decisions look all that much better.

0:14:38.040 --> 0:14:40.320
<v Speaker 1>Tobias converting there to give the Sixes one oh five

0:14:40.520 --> 0:14:43.040
<v Speaker 1>ninety eight edge. We'll play you some of the final

0:14:43.160 --> 0:14:47.600
<v Speaker 1>plays of Joel Embiad's career high Night, including this basket

0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:50.640
<v Speaker 1>that essentially put the game away. Five is shoot it

0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:54.800
<v Speaker 1>Beat with a three point shot on Collins, and that's

0:14:54.880 --> 0:15:01.160
<v Speaker 1>good whoa if be putting his hand to his ear,

0:15:01.560 --> 0:15:05.720
<v Speaker 1>finishes with the three, fitting for Joel Embiad to have

0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:07.800
<v Speaker 1>that type of moment putting his hand to his ear.

0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:11.320
<v Speaker 1>Allah Allen Iverson as Ebid goes for forty nine points,

0:15:11.360 --> 0:15:14.080
<v Speaker 1>the highest total bias seventy six or in a game

0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:17.800
<v Speaker 1>since Allen Iverson dropped fifty three in Atlanta on December

0:15:17.800 --> 0:15:21.760
<v Speaker 1>twenty third, two thousand and five. Joel Embiid was ten

0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:26.200
<v Speaker 1>years old on that day. All around outstanding and Bid

0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:29.960
<v Speaker 1>just missed seven of his twenty four shots, made his

0:15:30.760 --> 0:15:34.200
<v Speaker 1>third and final three point attempts almost perfect from the line.

0:15:34.200 --> 0:15:36.600
<v Speaker 1>He actually missed his final free throw to finish fourteen

0:15:36.600 --> 0:15:40.400
<v Speaker 1>and fifteen from the line. Yanked down fourteen rebounds, three assists,

0:15:40.400 --> 0:15:43.960
<v Speaker 1>three steals, one block shot forty nine large for the

0:15:43.960 --> 0:15:47.600
<v Speaker 1>big fellow Tobias Harris with twenty five nine to eighteen overall,

0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:50.600
<v Speaker 1>four of six from three, six rebounds, four assists, in

0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:54.000
<v Speaker 1>a block shot fifteen off the bench for for Concork Males.

0:15:54.080 --> 0:15:56.040
<v Speaker 1>He was three of seven from outside the arc. He

0:15:56.080 --> 0:15:58.600
<v Speaker 1>also had six board seven points for Shake Milton that

0:15:58.720 --> 0:16:00.520
<v Speaker 1>a lot of the ball handling tonight. He had six

0:16:00.560 --> 0:16:03.560
<v Speaker 1>times Josh Richardson had thirteen points. He also handled the

0:16:03.640 --> 0:16:06.760
<v Speaker 1>rock as did Harris as I mentioned earlier, seven for

0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:10.720
<v Speaker 1>Alec Burks and six for Glenn Robinson. The third Al

0:16:10.800 --> 0:16:14.040
<v Speaker 1>Horford with seven points, eight rebounds and five assists back

0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:16.720
<v Speaker 1>in the starting lineup with Ben Simmons out. I think

0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:19.440
<v Speaker 1>you step back, you look at a couple of things. Yes,

0:16:19.560 --> 0:16:22.480
<v Speaker 1>the competition was the competition, as we have a shooting

0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:25.920
<v Speaker 1>contest going on postgame here at the center. Opponent was

0:16:25.920 --> 0:16:28.200
<v Speaker 1>the opponent, but the Sixers still beat him. Joel still

0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:31.120
<v Speaker 1>did what he did, and the Sixers they figured out

0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:33.360
<v Speaker 1>a way without Ben Simmons and is just going to

0:16:33.440 --> 0:16:35.120
<v Speaker 1>be what they're going to have to do until we

0:16:35.160 --> 0:16:38.960
<v Speaker 1>find out how long Simmons will be out for. Up

0:16:39.000 --> 0:16:42.680
<v Speaker 1>next for the seventy Sixers the Cleveland Cavaliers that is

0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:45.240
<v Speaker 1>on Wednesday night, and then the New York Knicks too.

0:16:45.360 --> 0:16:48.560
<v Speaker 1>Great opportunities for the Sixers, yes, and back to back,

0:16:48.640 --> 0:16:51.720
<v Speaker 1>but to stockpile wins before setting out for a four

0:16:51.760 --> 0:16:55.120
<v Speaker 1>game West Coast trip starting next Sunday in a matinee

0:16:55.160 --> 0:16:58.480
<v Speaker 1>against the LA Clippers. You've been listening to rewind, look

0:16:58.480 --> 0:17:01.240
<v Speaker 1>out for fresh episodes the day for every seventy Sixers

0:17:01.320 --> 0:17:02.120
<v Speaker 1>game this season,
