Speaker 3: Fanatic seventy six Ers Postgame Show presented by Parks Casino.
Speaker 3: After a one oh five ninety one loss to the
Speaker 3: Knicks at the Garden, the Sixers record is twenty three
Speaker 3: and fifty three.
Speaker 2: The Knicks are forty eight and twenty seven.
Speaker 3: The third place team in the East will visit the
Speaker 3: top ranked Cleveland Cavaliers tomorrow. They were without Jalen Brunson,
Speaker 3: Karl Anthony Towns, among others. Tonight, the Sixers were without
Speaker 3: ten players and if you include two of the three
Speaker 3: two way contract players, and in that ten was also
Speaker 3: gersha On Yabusele for the second consecutive game for the Sixers,
Speaker 3: who had a home back to back over the weekend
Speaker 3: against Miami and Toronto Yaboo mist the Toronto.
Speaker 2: Game, Matt Murphy with you.
Speaker 3: I'll be rejoined by Tom McGuinness will effort the postgame
Speaker 3: press conference from Sixers coach Nick Nurse. As the Knicks
Speaker 3: win the season series they sweep at four zero, and
Speaker 3: they have been in third place in the East for
Speaker 3: a while. It's their first season series sweep of the
Speaker 3: Sixers since twenty fifteen sixteen, and it's by a final
Speaker 3: score of one oh five ninety one. As we bring
Speaker 3: Tom McGinnis back in to talk, to start with turnovers again, Tom,
Speaker 3: I know the knicks overcame nineteen, but the sixers with
Speaker 3: twenty and when you loop in the six for thirty
Speaker 3: one from three point range for Philadelphia. Was this a
Speaker 3: lot of more of the same from the weekend.
Speaker 1: Well, that's that's true. Like, as you noted, they started
Speaker 1: three of seventeen in Sunday's game against Toronto, so there's
Speaker 1: no doubt part of it. But I thought the biggest
Speaker 1: thing was New York defensively setting like a tempo of
Speaker 1: the way that Ogian and Opi guarded and the way
Speaker 1: that mcal bridges guarded, and then at the other end,
Speaker 1: specifically the aggressive off defensive nature of Ogon and Obi,
Speaker 1: which we've never really seen. You know, with Toronto there
Speaker 1: was different players, There was Siakam and over the years,
Speaker 1: you know a lot of different players for the Raptors.
Speaker 1: But he knows like this is his time. He almost
Speaker 1: get the sense that it's a directive. Without Brunson and
Speaker 1: without Karl, Anthony Towns and Heart, that's not the way
Speaker 1: he's inclined. He's more of a player to get everybody
Speaker 1: belt and Bridges has proven that he could score, but
Speaker 1: same thing, he's never well a little bit there with
Speaker 1: Brooklyn mcal was the primary scorer, but I thought on
Speaker 1: on Obi just dominated the game and just he set
Speaker 1: the tone. So yeah, the Sixer struggle, Grimes couldn't get
Speaker 1: it going. They really guarded Justin Edwards. To me, it
Speaker 1: was evident like he's he's on the scouting report, which
Speaker 1: you know, I know that sounds great, but he you know,
Speaker 1: he's one of the Sixers primary scorers with this group,
Speaker 1: and they defended him really well.
Speaker 3: That's a good point about Edwards, who has been a
Speaker 3: regular starter in the back half of the season. But
Speaker 3: that record fifty two different starting lineups in the seventy
Speaker 3: sixth game tonight for the Sixers. Just how difficult is
Speaker 3: that on a group and a coaching staff.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, like for the coaches, they're trying to
Speaker 1: present a game plan and present it to the guys.
Speaker 1: But then like with the turnovers, and I think we
Speaker 1: spoke on this a week or so ago, and that
Speaker 1: is you know, there are times when they just the
Speaker 1: ball the player breaks or the offense, the player with
Speaker 1: the ball looking to pass it and then just sails
Speaker 1: right out of bouance. Like you see some really awkward
Speaker 1: turnovers that you wouldn't see. And again that no disrespect,
Speaker 1: but the top tier player the maxis that you know,
Speaker 1: like not that those guys don't turn it over, but
Speaker 1: that's part of it. These these players, you know, aren't
Speaker 1: the caliber of some of the top line players in
Speaker 1: the NBA. And again I say that with all respect,
Speaker 1: but it's it's also fairly obvious. So whatever, Like it's
Speaker 1: just I think that's a function in part of you
Speaker 1: know what you're saying, There's a lot of different players
Speaker 1: in the mix. And then the young players, like you
Speaker 1: look at Bagley and you look at Philip Wheeler, Like
Speaker 1: the difference of them scoring and shooting it well in
Speaker 1: the G League compared to the NBA has been vast
Speaker 1: and the numbers bear that out big time.
Speaker 3: And when you talk about like isolation, certain isolation possessions,
Speaker 3: that's something that the Sixers group and coach Nurse have
Speaker 3: talked about with you're limited with what plays you can
Speaker 3: give a Jared Butler to run because of the new
Speaker 3: faces and people learning stuff. The final score at Madison
Speaker 3: Square Garden the Knicks one oh five, the Sixers ninety one.
Speaker 3: It's not a season low for points for the Sixers.
Speaker 3: That would be eighty six in mid November in Orlando,
Speaker 3: and then they followed that with eighty nine at Miami
Speaker 3: in November ninety one. Tonight, Matt Murphy and Tom McGuinness.
Speaker 3: Big story in this one was Landry Shammitt for New York,
Speaker 3: the former Sixer for part of his rookie season back
Speaker 3: in twenty eighteen. How about his game tonight?
Speaker 1: Well, again, I think of what I try to think
Speaker 1: of what a coach thinks of, and you know, if
Speaker 1: you're the Knicks, and you're like, because he's probably not
Speaker 1: going to get huge minutes, but if he can come
Speaker 1: off the bench and give him a couple threes and
Speaker 1: a half in a playoff game, that could be pivotal, right.
Speaker 1: And then I also think about what Doc Rivers used
Speaker 1: to say about Landry Shaman and this is high praise.
Speaker 1: I've actually shared this with my son who's a college
Speaker 1: basketball player, and that is Landry Shamant. When Doc Rivers,
Speaker 1: you know, like when you watch your guys getting ready
Speaker 1: for practice, and Doc Rivers said, and this is when
Speaker 1: he was with the Clippers, and so is Shaman obviously,
Speaker 1: and you know when he saw me, he knew they'd
Speaker 1: have a good practice. That's so that means he's going
Speaker 1: to bring effort, he's going to bring up the energy
Speaker 1: because he's bringing it. You know, he obviously would have
Speaker 1: been a role player there. But that's how you want
Speaker 1: to be thought of, right for a player at any
Speaker 1: level like that, you're gonna play hard and you're gonna,
Speaker 1: you know, bring it and you know, do all the
Speaker 1: little things. Be a good teammate. That's what coaches look for.
Speaker 1: And you know, in fact, I would take it even further,
Speaker 1: like sometimes players don't understand that coaches they're watching stuff
Speaker 1: like that, even if a guy's really good, they're watching
Speaker 1: how you react when you come out, and how you
Speaker 1: treat your teammates, how you treat your coaches, how you
Speaker 1: speak to the refs. And I don't think always times,
Speaker 1: especially on the AAU circuit, guys don't realize that that
Speaker 1: that's an element because you're bringing a player into your
Speaker 1: program again in anything, any sport, and you want them
Speaker 1: to be you know, they're a likable teammate like somebody
Speaker 1: you're going to spend a lot of time with these guys,
Speaker 1: so Sham it's definitely one of those guys. I've had
Speaker 1: some long conversations with him over the years, and I
Speaker 1: remember one year in Phoenix and I hadn't talked to
Speaker 1: him in a while, and somehow the remote broadcast season
Speaker 1: came up and he just asked the very He.
Speaker 5: Was like, what was that one?
Speaker 1: It was? I thought that was kind of refreshing.
Speaker 3: He's a good story this year too, because they they
Speaker 3: thought he was going to be part of their team
Speaker 3: heading into the season. The shoulder injury forced them to
Speaker 3: take him in the G League Draft with the second
Speaker 3: overall pick, so Matt Ryan was the number one overall
Speaker 3: pick to Westchester. Then they had the second pick because
Speaker 3: they traded to get the top two picks, and they
Speaker 3: picked Matt Ryan and Landry Shammitt, who then rehabbed his
Speaker 3: way back to get re signed by the New York Knickson.
Speaker 3: He made six threes tonight. That's what the Sixers made
Speaker 3: in the game, so Shammitt was six for eleven from three.
Speaker 3: The Sixers were six for thirty one. Shammitt had twenty
Speaker 3: points and it was Ananobe with twenty seven.
Speaker 1: Just to another point, here comes coach. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you're gonna be able to get him. Not sure
Speaker 1: that we have the technical capability. I just know coach
Speaker 1: nurses at the podium, So whatever, if you need to
Speaker 1: jump out, let me know for sure. But just back
Speaker 1: to Landry Shaman and again kind of extrapolading this out
Speaker 1: for any young player or any sixer player too, and
Speaker 1: that is like he knows what he's out there to do,
Speaker 1: and he knows like these guys on the catch, no,
Speaker 1: they're gonna shoot it. And he had a couple side
Speaker 1: step threes, but you know what I mean, Like it's
Speaker 1: the stay in your lane philosophy. That's what he brings
Speaker 1: to the table. And the of his six first shots,
Speaker 1: they were all threes. He ended up making it two,
Speaker 1: but you know, that's what he brings to the table.
Speaker 1: And he didn't stray, That's exactly what he did, and
Speaker 1: he had he had a season's best game.
Speaker 3: Milwaukee did end up winning against Phoenix. That's who the
Speaker 3: Sixers will face Thursday in Philadelphia. The Bucks one thirty three,
Speaker 3: one twenty three no durant for Phoenix. Giannis had thirty
Speaker 3: seven points, six rebounds, and eleven assists the last time
Speaker 3: the Sixers played them. The Bucks just made a ton
Speaker 3: of threes on Super Bowl Sunday, they're up is yeah.
Speaker 1: The Houston Is that the Houston Texans quarterback?
Speaker 5: Sorry?
Speaker 2: Man, Yeah, I think it. I think CJ.
Speaker 3: Strouds in's in New York along with what Justin Fields
Speaker 3: who threw one the New Jets quarter was just having
Speaker 3: a catch.
Speaker 1: For a brief moment, I'm like, is that Jalen, what's
Speaker 1: your fiel getting some shots up?
Speaker 5: It was CJ. Stroud.
Speaker 3: He was in the Celebrity Game at a NBA All
Speaker 3: Star weekend.
Speaker 1: Broke a sweat. He just took a picture with somebody
Speaker 1: at center court. Now he's he's walking up. Those guys
Speaker 1: are so built. I remember like seeing Donovan McNab aby
Speaker 1: a plane. Yeah, I think he at the time lived
Speaker 1: in Phoenix and we were out and I'm like, these
Speaker 1: guys are huge.
Speaker 2: Somebody might want to watch that workout.
Speaker 3: He had thirty one points in the Celebrity Game at
Speaker 3: NBA All Star Weekend.
Speaker 1: Like you know, big Jalen Hurtser is like, these guys
Speaker 1: are quarterbacks and they're ginormous. They're so built, they're so
Speaker 1: athletic hit.
Speaker 3: And Tom m Yeah, Tom, we're gonna we'll take it
Speaker 3: from here because we do have coach on this side,
Speaker 3: all right, So Tom McGinnis, thank you so much. Right,
Speaker 3: the Knicks one oh five, the Sixers ninety one, and
Speaker 3: let's let's hear from the Sixers head coach in his
Speaker 3: postgame remarks.
Speaker 6: Yep, just if we could even see him up there,
Speaker 6: him obviously doing his Kyle stuff as far as being married,
Speaker 6: all for teammates and everything is kind of what did
Speaker 6: you see him with him tonight?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 7: I thought he I you know again, he's he not
Speaker 7: you know, he didn't score, but I thought he played
Speaker 7: pretty well. And and you're right, I thought he he
Speaker 7: he was m out there for a couple of pretty
Speaker 7: good stretches that that we played pretty well in and
Speaker 7: and kind of with the you know, second unit guys
Speaker 7: and kept those guys you know, going pretty good. So
Speaker 7: I I was, I was, okay, I thought, and I
Speaker 7: thought he he played like two eight minutes stints, which
Speaker 7: is probably a little longer than I thought the stints
Speaker 7: would be, to be honest, and d he looked okay, Yeah,
Speaker 7: let's see how he's feeling tomorrow.
Speaker 5: But I think he looked okay out there.
Speaker 7: You started cut at the point you mentioned when to
Speaker 7: do that.
Speaker 5: But then in the second half, I thought he went
Speaker 5: to Jarrett and moved to the bench.
Speaker 6: I guess what decision.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I just uh again, I thought we were starting
Speaker 7: and kind of our best available guys.
Speaker 5: Wanted to play Q some on.
Speaker 7: The ball, and then I just didn't like it, just
Speaker 7: didn't love it in this game. I just wanted to
Speaker 7: get a different look and get him off the ball
Speaker 7: some and try to get him going, which ended up,
Speaker 7: you know, being pretty good. We had a really good
Speaker 7: third quarter, a little better lineup, a little bit better.
Speaker 7: Paul handling there for a while is a big factor
Speaker 7: in the game.
Speaker 5: Right. We turned the ball over a lot, a lot
Speaker 5: for us especially. Sorry, Yeah, talked before.
Speaker 3: About thinking he'd be a good coach hit it down
Speaker 3: the line. What's it been like during the struct where
Speaker 3: he's been out having him on the side of the
Speaker 3: view and doing some of that assistant.
Speaker 5: Coaching sort of style.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean it's it's it's it's been fine, and
Speaker 7: it's been good. It's not again, it's like he's he's
Speaker 7: and I thought, like tonight you could see him again
Speaker 7: directing a lot of traffic out on the floor. There's
Speaker 7: there's just you know, most of the guys that he's
Speaker 7: probably mentoring more are not playing the tyreses, the Jared's,
Speaker 7: you know, those kind of things, which which is which
Speaker 7: has also been been fine. So you know, we'll see
Speaker 7: how he goes here with this, but you know he's
Speaker 7: he's trying to help young guys get better, for sure.
Speaker 7: I think a lot of for us tonight, if I'm
Speaker 7: not mistaken, is that something maybe you wanted to explore
Speaker 7: a little bit, maybe unhalk a little bit, maybe some
Speaker 7: play making with him. Well, one of the biggest challenges
Speaker 7: with this group right now is to get everybody to
Speaker 7: make the right play right. One of the one of
Speaker 7: my themes going into the game tonight was showing them,
Speaker 7: you know, taking shots and crowded areas that just weren't
Speaker 7: higher percentage enough versus you know, we showed a bunch
Speaker 7: of clips of that versus moving kicking out like I
Speaker 7: just want to just need I think these guys need
Speaker 7: to need to help each other create offense a little
Speaker 7: bit more rather than trying to take on the world
Speaker 7: a little bit right, and same applies for I would
Speaker 7: like Donnie to try to attack the paint a little
Speaker 7: bit more.
Speaker 5: I think he can do that. And then again, you
Speaker 5: know what that means.
Speaker 7: That means you're either going up to score or you're
Speaker 7: making the right play and kicking it out.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 7: It's a little bit like you know, Kelly early in
Speaker 7: the year, right, Kelly can get in the paint a lot,
Speaker 7: and I think Lannie needs.
Speaker 5: To explore that a little bit more.
Speaker 7: Again, he's pretty strong, pretty athletic, and that's you know,
Speaker 7: just kind of the way we'd like our guards and
Speaker 7: wings to play.
Speaker 3: One of the issues with Bona early in the season
Speaker 3: was the fouling, and it seemed like he had cut
Speaker 3: down on that a lot.
Speaker 5: In March.
Speaker 3: I think had more than three once in March.
Speaker 6: I think he had five today.
Speaker 5: I guess, how have.
Speaker 6: You seen him grow in terms of in terms of
Speaker 6: cutting down on the bowelsand what was he need to
Speaker 6: do to say it?
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean I really think that most of the time,
Speaker 7: that's all gonna come down to not making any what
Speaker 7: I would consider.
Speaker 5: Uh, you know, not key plays.
Speaker 7: Like a guy like Bona has to use all his
Speaker 7: files at the rim like he can get the one
Speaker 7: forty feet away ball pressuring you know, guy tries to
Speaker 7: beat him and he you know, it just doesn't slight
Speaker 7: you know, get out of the way or get you know,
Speaker 7: like can't get over the back offensive file, loose ballfalls
Speaker 7: like can't get moving screens, you know, like like you
Speaker 7: gotta get like like again, I've said this before, especially
Speaker 7: if somebody like him, I don't mind him fouling, but
Speaker 7: it has to be always in the rim protection mode
Speaker 7: right to save a basket, needs them all for that,
Speaker 7: so he can keep.
Speaker 5: Taking swings at the at the block shots.
Speaker 7: Yeah, screening fashion in the glass, but also on those
Speaker 7: dribble handoffs, he has that counter when if he doesn't
Speaker 7: give it, to have that now, but also to kind
Speaker 7: of evaluate.
Speaker 2: If that's something you can.
Speaker 7: Maybe build on in the futre Expand Yeah, would love
Speaker 7: for him to use it a little more often.
Speaker 5: Would love to have him build on it.
Speaker 7: And the reason is it seems like when he does it,
Speaker 7: he's at the front of the room quickly, right. It
Speaker 7: isn't like he's taking four or five more dribbles and
Speaker 7: trying to figure out the path like he gets them.
Speaker 5: He's right there.
Speaker 7: Usually elevating to try to dunk or get to the
Speaker 7: free throw line. And again, I think that all those
Speaker 7: kind of things always relieve some kind of pressure, either
Speaker 7: for yourself or for your teammates.
Speaker 5: Yeah, all right, everybody, thank.
Speaker 3: You Nick Nurse on the seventy six Ers postgame show
Speaker 3: brought to you by Parks Casino. The New York Knicks
Speaker 3: beat the Sixers tonight in New York one oh five
Speaker 3: ninety one. We have plenty more coverage coming your way.
Speaker 3: The leading scorer in the game was og Ananobi with
Speaker 3: twenty seven points. Quinton Grimes led the Sixers with twenty
Speaker 3: six points. Mitchell Robinson was the leading rebounder as New
Speaker 3: York's starting center in place of the injured Karl Anthony Towns,
Speaker 3: with fourteen boards. Jared Butler for the Sixers and Tyler
Speaker 3: Koleik for the Knicks tied with seven assists each. Grimes
Speaker 3: and New York's starting point guard Delon right in for
Speaker 3: Jalen Brunson, both had three steals, and a dem Bona,
Speaker 3: who was asked about there, had his fourth consecutive game
Speaker 3: with three block shots or more.
Speaker 2: Tonight.
Speaker 3: It was three block shots in the one oh five
Speaker 3: ninety one road loss to the Knicks. We will run
Speaker 3: through this game from start to finish, with highlight calls
Speaker 3: from Tom McGinnis mixed in on the other side. When
Speaker 3: we continue on with the seventy six Ers postgame Show
Speaker 3: brought to you by Parks Casino, final score in New
Speaker 3: York the Knicks one oh five the Sixers ninety one
Speaker 3: on this Tuesday in the NBA. As we welcome you
Speaker 3: back to the seventy six Ers Parks Casino Postgame Show,
Speaker 3: I'm Matt Murphy. The Sixers have dropped their ninth game
Speaker 3: in a row. The Knicks do sweep the season series
Speaker 3: for nothing for their first sweep in almost a decade.
Speaker 3: But the Sixers had a number of sweeps from twenty
Speaker 3: seventeen to twenty twenty one, four seasons in a row
Speaker 3: without a loss to the Knicks. But it is the
Speaker 3: Knicks this season to zero. The Bucks are up next.
Speaker 3: Before we hear the audio highlights from this Sixers Knicks
Speaker 3: game from start to finish, with the key players their stats,
Speaker 3: the scoring runs mixed in throughout. The Bucks got to
Speaker 3: forty one and thirty four tonight to snap a four
Speaker 3: game losing streak in the absence of Damian Lillard, who
Speaker 3: has a blood clot in his calf. He is out indefinitely.
Speaker 3: They beat the Suns one thirty three one twenty three
Speaker 3: in Milwaukee, and now we'll travel to play Philadelphia on Thursday.
Speaker 3: Jannis has five straight thirty point games. He had thirty seven.
Speaker 3: Devin Booker had thirty nine points and eleven assists for Phoenix,
Speaker 3: who has been without Bradley Beal for a couple of
Speaker 3: weeks a hamstring injury, and now will be without Kevin Durant,
Speaker 3: who was out tonight for an ankle sprain for about
Speaker 3: a week before he's I guess reevaluated. And the Bucks
Speaker 3: have taken the first three meetings against the Sixers this year,
Speaker 3: the season opener in Philly on October twenty third, then
Speaker 3: January nineteenth in Milwaukee, and then most recently Super Bowl
Speaker 3: Sunday in Milwaukee. They scored one hundred and thirty five
Speaker 3: on the Sixers in an eight point win.
Speaker 2: Lillard made eight threes.
Speaker 3: Again out for the foreseeable future and wishing him all
Speaker 3: the best with his health. He had forty three points
Speaker 3: in that game. Gary Trent Junior made seven threes to
Speaker 3: Lillard's eight the Bucks made twenty four out of fifty
Speaker 3: five on that Sunday, Maxi had thirty nine, so this
Speaker 3: time around will look different. On Thursday, to say the least.
Speaker 3: That was part of the seven games slate tonight, as
Speaker 3: is Warriors Grizzlies, which is a one point game down
Speaker 3: the stretch. But you may have been getting alerts on
Speaker 3: that because Stephan Curry has double digit three pointers made.
Speaker 3: So he started eleven for fifteen from three when the
Speaker 3: alerts came into me, but he's now twelve for nineteen
Speaker 3: from three. He has fifty points, ten rebounds, eight assists,
Speaker 3: and five steals. They're down one to Memphis, and the
Speaker 3: NBA record for threes in a game is fourteen for
Speaker 3: Klay Thompson. Curry and Lillard and Zach Lavine have games
Speaker 3: with thirteen three pointers, but it's Curry with twelve and
Speaker 3: about two minutes and twenty seconds remaining a fifty point
Speaker 3: game for Curry. So before we sign off after the
Speaker 3: highlights here, we'll circle back around to that one. But
Speaker 3: our stat of the game tonight leading into the highlights
Speaker 3: will be that it was Philadelphia's fifty second different starting
Speaker 3: lineup in game seventy six fifty two different starting lineups,
Speaker 3: the most in NBA history dating back to at least
Speaker 3: nineteen seventy five seventy six, surpassing what the Grizzlies had
Speaker 3: last season with fifty one. And here's how the game sounded,
Speaker 3: as called by Tom McGinnis. The Sixers and the Knicks
Speaker 3: at Madison Square Garden. The Sixers in white uniforms, the
Speaker 3: Knicks in navy blue with orange, and they had ten
Speaker 3: players out Philadelphia if you include two out of the
Speaker 3: three two way players. They did not use up one
Speaker 3: of those last two Jeff Doughton junior games where he's
Speaker 3: eligible on the two way contract. Jalen Hood Schaffino was
Speaker 3: inactive as a two way as well. Yabou Sele missed
Speaker 3: his second straight game. Among others, Kyle Lowry returned to
Speaker 3: the Sixers lineup for the first time in almost two
Speaker 3: months since that Bucks game. The Knicks were without Jalen Brunson,
Speaker 3: Karl Anthony Towns, Deuce McBride, among others. It was a
Speaker 3: slow start to the game for both teams, but especially
Speaker 3: the Sixers. Knicks were up fifteen to seven to start.
Speaker 3: It was not a slow start to the game for
Speaker 3: og Anenobi, who had a coming off a twenty eight
Speaker 3: point game Sunday, along with mcal Bridges who had twenty
Speaker 3: eight in that game against Portland. Og had thirteen in
Speaker 3: the first quarter, and its Bridges on the assists plus
Speaker 3: the foul.
Speaker 1: Og Adanobi plows in and with sixer they call a
Speaker 1: pouf oh, and they're gonna give it to them. For
Speaker 1: Pete's sakes, that's continuation. Nick Nurse running over to the
Speaker 1: scores table watching it on the JumboTron, and that's exactly
Speaker 1: his point. He's thinking about challenging it.
Speaker 3: Twenty eleven after the free throw twenty to eleven Knicks,
Speaker 3: Anobi with eighteen in the first half. Quinton Grimes had
Speaker 3: eight for the Sixers to lead them in the first quarter,
Speaker 3: but it ended with the Knicks ahead thirty five twenty
Speaker 3: six after one on a Josh Hart and one. So
Speaker 3: you had Anonobi through contact, then you had Heart through
Speaker 3: contact against Alex Reese which he plowed into him. And
Speaker 3: then that was with a three before it for the Knicks,
Speaker 3: and with them making a couple of threes to start
Speaker 3: the second quarter, that was a twelve zero run between
Speaker 3: the first and second quarters for the home team in
Speaker 3: the second though Sixers ten day contract player Marcus Bagley,
Speaker 3: who was called up from the Blue Coats. He had
Speaker 3: three made field goals late in the first half.
Speaker 1: Crimes all the way out top his knicks, tight defense,
Speaker 1: eight to shoot into the latest Bagley lay up up
Speaker 1: and good, but a breakdown right there. Sixers get the
Speaker 1: ball and Bagley gets another basket twelve point eight.
Speaker 3: Grimes on the assist. Bagley had nine points and eight
Speaker 3: rebounds tonight. His last ten games of the season with
Speaker 3: the Delaware Blue Coats, he was averaging fourteen points and
Speaker 3: ten rebounds per game. He almost does that in the
Speaker 3: NBA tonight in the double double sense, but he comes
Speaker 3: up just shy in both categories only. In nineteen minutes
Speaker 3: nine points, eight rebounds from Marcus Bagley, six Ers were
Speaker 3: down fifty to forty. With the middle basket of his
Speaker 3: three in the second quarter Quinton Grimes one of his
Speaker 3: five assists to go with twenty six points. He was
Speaker 3: the starting point guard in lineup number fifty two, along
Speaker 3: with Lonnie Walker, the fourth Rickey Council, the fourth Justin Edwards,
Speaker 3: and adem Bona. Mitchell Robinson joined forces with og An
Speaker 3: Andobi In helping deliver the Knicks such a strong first
Speaker 3: half in the absence of Towns, Robinson started at center,
Speaker 3: and he scored all fourteen of his points in the
Speaker 3: first half. He added eight reb bounds in the first half.
Speaker 3: He didn't miss a shot from the field or from
Speaker 3: the line, and turnovers were an issue for both teams,
Speaker 3: but especially the Sixers. Fourteen of their twenty turnovers were
Speaker 3: in this first half, and this was consecutive steals in dunks,
Speaker 3: first Ananobi and then Robinson.
Speaker 1: Bagley with the basketball for the Sixers outside right, Marcus
Speaker 1: Bagley throws it away, Mitchell Robinson jams it oh Man,
Speaker 1: he sidestep the sixer and put it in. That was
Speaker 1: quite an athletic play.
Speaker 3: In a fifty seven to forty game that the half
Speaker 3: ended fifty nine forty two New York. Robinson fourteen points
Speaker 3: tonight with a game high fourteen rebounds to two blocks
Speaker 3: and one steal in twenty one minutes. Knicks up seventeen
Speaker 3: at the half. After holding the Sixers to sixteen points
Speaker 3: in the second quarter, they outscored them twenty four sixteen
Speaker 3: for the fifty nine to forty to lead into the
Speaker 3: locker room, but three early Sixers baskets in close forced
Speaker 3: to knicks time out less than ninety seconds into the
Speaker 3: third Sixers defense.
Speaker 1: Also in front of their bench, Ojilobi splits two Robinson
Speaker 1: with it left hand shot. No good that he tried
Speaker 1: to dunk the miss, that's still good. Grimes with pace,
Speaker 1: Grimes into the lane. Grimes of the layup up in good.
Speaker 1: So three baskets and Tom Thibodeaux takes time out. Sixers
Speaker 1: cut it.
Speaker 2: To thirteen sixty one forty eight.
Speaker 3: Grimes, who scored a team high twenty six in thirty
Speaker 3: six minutes of action, eight for eighteen shooting from the field,
Speaker 3: just one for six from three, but nine for ten
Speaker 3: at the line. He also had three steals. It seems
Speaker 3: like every night Quinton Grimes has a round twenty five
Speaker 3: or thirty points with two or three steals. What a
Speaker 3: trade for the seventy six ers For Caleb Martin, they
Speaker 3: got Grimes and a second round pick. At deadline sixty
Speaker 3: one forty eight, New York. It was down to a
Speaker 3: single digit deficit with five minutes to play in the
Speaker 3: third quarter, and Lonnie Walker the fourth with the strong
Speaker 3: drive when it was a seven point game.
Speaker 1: Back out to Butler eight to shoot about a one
Speaker 1: on one here for the Sixers. Jared Butler off balance,
Speaker 1: shoots it no good, loose Paul rebound reach Sixers get
Speaker 1: it back to the right side. Lonnie Walker loses his balance,
Speaker 1: games it back, plays it up in good five point.
Speaker 3: Game sixty seven sixty two. Walker had eleven points, seven rebounds,
Speaker 3: four assists in thirty three minutes as a Sixers starter.
Speaker 3: There is a full podcast conversation with Walker that will
Speaker 3: be coming soon to the seventy six Ers Insiders podcast
Speaker 3: and the Sixers Mobile app. Wherever you get your podcast,
Speaker 3: you should be able to find that one tomorrow or Thursday,
Speaker 3: probably tomorrow afternoon, so be on the lookout for that.
Speaker 3: But Landry Shammitt did respond with a quick three for
Speaker 3: New York and then another one a few minutes later.
Speaker 1: Colic will play in by the Sixers bench at Chiuwa.
Speaker 1: Shammitt Hart bridges for the next Tyler Kolich so all
Speaker 1: left side, Shammitck corner three, got it, oh Man tough shot,
Speaker 1: Landry Shammitt another triple. All of his shots to be
Speaker 1: three season four for five from beyond they.
Speaker 3: Go up eleven seventy eight sixty seven New York became
Speaker 3: eighty seventy Nicks after three, despite the Sixers outscoring them
Speaker 3: twenty eight to twenty one. In that third quarter, Shamit
Speaker 3: a new season high twenty points. Previously, his season high
Speaker 3: was thirteen, and he made six threes. The Sixers made
Speaker 3: six threes in the game. Shamitt ended six for eleven
Speaker 3: from beyond the arc. The Sixers ended six for thirty
Speaker 3: one from beyond the arc, and the only player who
Speaker 3: made multiple threes for Philadelphia was Alex Reese two for three,
Speaker 3: ten points, four rebounds in sixteen minutes as a reserve.
Speaker 3: The Sixers were down ten heading into the fourth quarter
Speaker 3: because Josh Hart, who ended the first quarter by scoring
Speaker 3: the final points, He had a runout and a layup
Speaker 3: at the third quarter Buzzer and more og in the
Speaker 3: fourth at defensive rebound, keeps it himself for the poster
Speaker 3: dunk with the right hand.
Speaker 1: Ricky with a turnaround, difficult shot, no good, forced out,
Speaker 1: a little bit long rebound. The ball was nearly the
Speaker 1: mid court. Og Olobi got it and then jams it
Speaker 1: and a foul. So this shot, like I said, nobody
Speaker 1: corralled it. It got toward the k in the Knicks
Speaker 1: at center court, and not only did og Anobi take it,
Speaker 1: but he fights through the foul by Ricky.
Speaker 3: Calcil Anenobi twenty seven points. He tacked on the free
Speaker 3: throw for a ninety seventy four lead. The Knicks never
Speaker 3: looked back, They never trailed in the game, and from
Speaker 3: ninety seventy four they win the game one zero five
Speaker 3: ninety one. And Anobi made eleven out of thirteen free throws,
Speaker 3: just two for nine from three and seven for sixteen
Speaker 3: from the field while scoring twenty seven, but eleven of
Speaker 3: his twenty seven were free throws made. The Knicks were
Speaker 3: eighty one percent from the line, thirty nine percent from three,
Speaker 3: and forty two percent from the field. The Sixer shot
Speaker 3: forty two percent overall as well, but only nineteen percent
Speaker 3: from three on that six for thirty one, making six
Speaker 3: fewer threes than the Knicks on the same number of
Speaker 3: attempts at thirty one, and they went seventeen for twenty two.
Speaker 3: The Sixers at the free throw line seventy seven percent,
Speaker 3: twenty turnovers nineteen turnovers for the Knicks. Rebounding was New
Speaker 3: York forty four, Philadelphia forty two, and both teams had
Speaker 3: twenty three assists and double digit steals on a high
Speaker 3: turnover night. Ten for the Knicks, eleven steals for the Sixers,
Speaker 3: who will play Milwaukee at home on Thursday and then
Speaker 3: host Minnesota on Saturday night. That Minnesota game is their
Speaker 3: last game of the year against a Western Conference opponent.
Speaker 3: This was game seventy six of eighty two. The Sixers
Speaker 3: record is now twenty three and fifty three, while the
Speaker 3: Knicks third in the East at now forty eight and
Speaker 3: twenty seven. Let's check in on that Stephen Curry performance.
Speaker 3: He's still at twelve three pointers and fifty points, but
Speaker 3: behind twenty seven from Jimmy Butler and a triple double
Speaker 3: for Draymond Green thirteen points, ten rebounds, twelve assists, it
Speaker 3: appears that the Warriors are going to beat the Grizzlies.
Speaker 3: They're up eight with seven seconds left, but a twelve
Speaker 3: three pointer game and a near triple double for Stephan Curry,
Speaker 3: who's tacking on free throws, fifty two points now, ten rebounds,
Speaker 3: eight assists, five steals and a block in thirty six
Speaker 3: minutes for Curry and the Warriors, who as we check
Speaker 3: the standings, the Warriors, everybody including Phoenix who lost to
Speaker 3: Milwaukee tonight. They need their guys healthy for the playoff
Speaker 3: push and the play in push in Phoenix's case, but
Speaker 3: Durant's out for at least a week. And in the
Speaker 3: West it is Golden State in the final guaranteed playoff
Speaker 3: spot in sixth by a half game on Minnesota, who's
Speaker 3: the Sixers opponent in two games, and Phoenix is a
Speaker 3: game and a half out of the play in tournament
Speaker 3: after the loss to the Sixers next opponent Giannis and
