WEBVTT - The BroadCast: 1/5/2019 ~ Rewind vs. Mavericks 0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:04.000 This is seventy Sixers rewind time now to listen back 0:00:04.040 --> 0:00:07.960 to postgame reaction from the team's most recent game. For 0:00:08.080 --> 0:00:10.440 the third time and as many opportunities in the two 0:00:10.520 --> 0:00:14.159 thousand nineteen calendar year. The seventy Sixers are winners one 0:00:14.200 --> 0:00:17.520 oh six, one hundred over the Dallas Mavericks. Ben Simmons 0:00:17.600 --> 0:00:20.320 his sixth triple double of the season. I Brian Seltzer 0:00:20.320 --> 0:00:22.799 from Sixers dot com. We are standing by for the 0:00:22.800 --> 0:00:25.720 postgame press conference of seventy six Ers head coach Brett Brown, 0:00:25.960 --> 0:00:28.720 whose team just improved to twenty six and fourteen. Here 0:00:28.720 --> 0:00:31.440 he is. We joined up in progress right now, plan 0:00:32.280 --> 0:00:35.080 that we declared at the start, supported by film all that, 0:00:35.800 --> 0:00:37.680 and I think for the most part, we did a 0:00:37.680 --> 0:00:42.479 pretty good job respecting the three point shot. They have 0:00:42.600 --> 0:00:46.479 five guys that shoot thirty eight percent or higher, and 0:00:46.840 --> 0:00:49.640 four of them start and then the other one, Dirk 0:00:49.880 --> 0:00:53.000 just you know, didn't play, and so the three point 0:00:53.040 --> 0:00:56.400 line was one of our primary areas to focus on. 0:00:56.560 --> 0:00:58.200 I thought that we did a pretty good job throw 0:00:58.360 --> 0:01:00.960 the game doing that, and I especially thought in the 0:01:01.040 --> 0:01:03.920 third period to hold that team to nineteen points was 0:01:03.960 --> 0:01:06.840 a good effort. But the thirty points that you give 0:01:06.920 --> 0:01:10.080 up in the fourth, which has happened types like two 0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:14.720 times now, just like what happens defensively when the habit 0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:19.720 the lead like that that you allowed. Believe right um, 0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:23.000 when you when you look at the tapes of previous games, 0:01:23.040 --> 0:01:27.800 the connection has been the I call it purpose less 0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:31.360 offense that that you know produces turnovers. Some of it 0:01:31.480 --> 0:01:34.319 you just miss some shots, but I think in general 0:01:34.360 --> 0:01:37.440 the connection has been the turnovers and you know, the 0:01:37.560 --> 0:01:44.240 discipline to to to run purpose full offense. Sometimes that 0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:48.280 that ends up stagnant, something that's just like dumping into 0:01:48.360 --> 0:01:51.040 Joe and like bring us home Joe. That's not always 0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:53.960 a way to do it. And you know we're finding 0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:57.160 that balance of the movement and sharing the ball sometimes 0:01:57.160 --> 0:02:00.400 that produces a turnover versus like you know, just horse 0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:03.160 and Joel. I thought tonight, you know, when I get 0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:06.600 down to seven, the game felt funny. We went to 0:02:06.680 --> 0:02:08.919 Joel and he found furke On over on the other 0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:10.760 side of the floor for a three point shot. That 0:02:10.880 --> 0:02:13.480 kind of change the game. I thought, furk On changed 0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:16.160 the game. Also, by the way in Phoenix, I think 0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:18.920 that's some of the problem offensively, and I think that 0:02:18.960 --> 0:02:22.880 there's a disconnect at times with us switching when we're 0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:24.839 not on point as much as we need to be. 0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:28.160 That produces threes. You know, they had three threes in 0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:34.440 the fourth. That was Phoenix's stat that stood out the most, 0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:36.680 that allowed them to come back. And so I think 0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:40.000 offense defense the combination those two things we have to 0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:42.680 get better at. But Ben has taken a lot more 0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:44.800 jump shots like these. That's something that he's been doing, 0:02:44.800 --> 0:02:47.079 willing Lear, that's something that you've asked him ntil It's 0:02:47.120 --> 0:02:50.520 it's a combination. I mean I've said, you know for 0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:52.600 a long time and I'll say it again. I think 0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:55.880 his jump SHOT's gonna come on his own terms, Like 0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:59.679 never have we pivoted away. Have I pivoted away from saying, hey, 0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:02.000 you know, I'd like to see a jump shot of period, 0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:04.080 I'd like I want to start growing him to the 0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:06.640 corner threes. You know, especially as you look at the 0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:10.440 basket probably on that that that what I call the 0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:14.200 upside of the floor. And so it's it's coming, you know, 0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:16.480 it's coming in it needs to come. And tonight it 0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:18.799 is true. I think he was through as he three 0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:21.640 for four or two for three from three from just 0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:24.480 jump shots, you know, longer shots outside the pain shots, 0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:27.120 and so it's coming, but it's coming on his terms, 0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:30.480 and he's aware that that we're not going to do 0:03:31.000 --> 0:03:32.320 we're not going to do what we want to do 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:35.640 unless he does do what he's doing. And uh, it's 0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:39.560 not it's not anything to me. It's not anything else 0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:44.600 but a mentality. It's not a play, it's not some scheme. 0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:49.400 It's a mentality. And uh, lately he's been embracing it. 0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:51.720 He should, He's worked all summer on it, and it 0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:54.240 was good to see him shoot those shots tonight. You know, 0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:56.400 there was a lot of talk coming into tonight's game 0:03:56.440 --> 0:04:01.960 about this diverse, multifaceted international ports, referencing Luca Donchez from 0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:04.640 the Dallas Mavericks. Well, the seventy sixers have one of 0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:06.760 those as well. He happens to hail from Australia, and 0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:09.480 he was great tonight. Ben Simmons, who Brett Brown was 0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:12.640 just talking about, referencing the jump shot development and a 0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:15.520 willing jump shooter. Ben Simmons was tonight and routes to 0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:19.040 his sixth triple double of the season, twenty points nine 0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:22.880 to seventeen from the field fourteen rebounds, eleven assists for 0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:25.359 the reigning Rookie of the Year twenty five and twelve 0:04:25.400 --> 0:04:27.880 for Joel embead If you could have a quiet night 0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:30.240 in terms of those big numbers, I guess you could 0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:32.520 put Joel Embiad in that category. He came up though, 0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:34.880 with two big free throws in a basket late in 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:39.000 the game to finally nudge the Dallas Mavericks the pesky Mavericks. Aside, 0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:42.560 JJ Reddick remains excellent twenty points for him in what 0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:45.600 is on pace for a career scoring year for him 0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:48.760 once again. And Jonah Bolton making a second straight start 0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:51.560 for the seventy sixers in the absence of Wilson Chandler, 0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:56.160 a live floor running, rim protecting body eleven points, nine rebounds, 0:04:56.160 --> 0:05:00.000 two block shots plus eleven arguably his best game as 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:02.839 an NBA player at this level. Today, Sixers attack the 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:05.440 inside sixty two points in the paint they went for 0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:07.960 the third time and as many tries in twenty nineteen. 0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:10.480 They're now twenty six and fourteen on the year. Tom 0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:13.120 McGinnis is standing by we go to next The postgame 0:05:13.160 --> 0:05:16.880 shows underway on the Sixers Ready Network.

Seventy six Ers topple 0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:58.880 the Dallas Mavericks one oh six, one hundred, Ben Simons 0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:02.680 a triple double, Luca Dontris fourteen points for sixteen from 0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:05.800 the field, eight rebounds, and four assists on Brian Seltz. 0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:09.039 From sixers dot com, we go down to Tom McGinnis. Tom. 0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:11.200 For a good portion of the evening, the seventy Sixers 0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:14.640 were in control. Dallas' second unit helped make a run, 0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:16.800 but the Sixers this was just about trying to further 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:20.280 build momentum. Right now they're three and ozer and two nineteen, 0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:22.599 no doubt about it. But on the other hand. You 0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:25.159 have to finish off these teams and put them away 0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:27.440 and not allowed teams to come back, because that's really 0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:29.560 that's kind of a slippery slope. You don't want to 0:06:29.560 --> 0:06:31.800 get into that habit. And it has happened two or 0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:35.039 actually three games in a row. But hey, give their 0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:37.640 reserves credit. They came out there and you know they're 0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:39.400 looking at it. You think of these young guys, they're 0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:41.360 looking at it as an opportunity to play and play 0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:44.479 extended minutes and make a difference. And they did, and 0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:46.520 you got to give I mean, who had anybody heard 0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:50.000 of Ryan broke Off? I mean all that much before. 0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:52.200 He's a young player that played at Valparaiso and it's 0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:54.320 from Australia. But he showed that he's got bound and 0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:57.279 he can score that ball and claibor head some moments 0:06:57.320 --> 0:07:00.560 and I Jalen Brunson, like, I said, you know your 0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:03.359 route so much for a young player that plays for 0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:06.960 Villanova the championship, MVP tournament outstanding Player, however you want 0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:09.200 to say it three years ago. And then he comes 0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:11.800 in here and he plays very effective against the Sixers 0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:14.120 and you're like, hey, not so much. Darren Brunson but 0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:16.920 he was really good. And then you know, you got 0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:18.720 to go back to the Sixers. They pounded the ball 0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:21.640 down low early. The numbers in terms of points in 0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:24.200 the paint Brian when they have thirty eight field goals 0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:27.360 in the lane and eighteen outside, so they were aggressive 0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:30.440 early on getting those baskets down low. And Beat and 0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:34.000 Simmons fantastic and then again Reddick throwing twenty points on 0:07:34.040 --> 0:07:36.440 the board, so that trio has carried the Sixers without 0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:39.640 Butler playing in the last two games, for the last 0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:43.200 three games all over twenty points. And then when you 0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:45.480 did have to kind of win the game again and 0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:47.800 Beat comes in with six points down the stretch to 0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:51.000 put the game away. Ben Simmons triple double think. I 0:07:51.000 --> 0:07:53.360 think Tommy's been playing so well as if late for 0:07:53.400 --> 0:07:55.680 the most part. And it's something where I almost even 0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:57.800 think back of that Utah game where I'm watching there's 0:07:57.840 --> 0:07:59.920 my personal opinion. You're looking at Divan Mitchell and you're like, 0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:01.920 you know, you might be able to say this guy 0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:04.320 in his second year is needing to figure some stuff 0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:06.680 out a little bit more. Whereas Ben his skill set, 0:08:06.760 --> 0:08:09.760 his physicality it seems to have help lift him above 0:08:09.800 --> 0:08:12.840 that where he's really shown no signs of letting down 0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:15.480 or regressing in any way, shape or form. We'ven't seen 0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:17.440 elements of growth through his game, as Brett was talking about, 0:08:17.680 --> 0:08:21.280 with the more willing attempts to take jump shots. Right. 0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:24.200 We had him unofficially for three out of four in 0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:27.560 the in the area of jump shots. And then here's 0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:30.800 the thing about Ben So he's extraordinarily gifted. It's it's 0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:33.520 really a unique skill set you've you know, you very 0:08:33.640 --> 0:08:36.200 rarely have seen. He's been compared to some of the 0:08:36.240 --> 0:08:39.120 other great players like Lebron and like Magic Johnson in 0:08:39.600 --> 0:08:41.920 the in the fact that he's a tall player who's 0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:45.360 got great athleticism and can pass. And certainly there are 0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:48.320 some some other comparisons other ways, the numbers that he's 0:08:48.760 --> 0:08:51.840 brushed up to legends like Oscar Robertson. He's with the 0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:55.040 triple doubles, kind of like Westbrook in that regard. But 0:08:55.200 --> 0:08:58.040 you take all of that and the physical gifts, but 0:08:58.160 --> 0:09:00.560 it's the drive and that you know you're talking about 0:09:00.600 --> 0:09:04.559 Donovan Mitchell and players will try to downplay a little bit. 0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:06.520 We had Jimmy Butler do that after that game in 0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:08.160 Salt Lake City, we're not. I don't think he's going 0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:10.720 up again. Well I do. I think he takes that 0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:13.160 as a challenge, like oh yeah, a little little matt. 0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:14.920 You know, you could see it out on the floor 0:09:15.120 --> 0:09:17.200 and you could see it tonight with Don Chich like, 0:09:17.200 --> 0:09:19.640 oh yeah, you've been getting a little pub Brian Selzer 0:09:19.640 --> 0:09:22.439 called you the most intriguing starting NBA. Well, I'll show you. 0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:25.440 And that's what that's what I think he's got. I 0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:29.200 mean that that's all. These guys are ultra competitive. They 0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:32.600 want to drill you in dominoes, with at cards, whatever 0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:35.199 they play, they want to win. That's how they've gotten 0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:38.320 to this level is their their their mindset, their physical gifts, 0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:41.080 and that competitive bug and that that's part that's what 0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:44.880 we love about professional sports and Simmons he brings that 0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:47.160 that chip to the table where he wants to pound 0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:49.680 these guys and let him, you know, let him know 0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:52.480 whose boss sort of speak. And he was great here tonight, 0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:55.319 seventy six over the Mavericks wins six to one hundred. 0:09:55.400 --> 0:09:59.400 We may have Ben Simmons at the podium, we do 0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:02.719 not at this point in time. We're standing by. I 0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:04.880 think Ben was pretty quick up there, but he was 0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:07.680 great for the Sixers tonight, JJ Reddick Tom continues to 0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:10.080 have a tremendous year, but also to give some pub 0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:13.000 to the fellow countryman of Ben Simmons. Jonah Bolden's his 0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:16.280 best NBA game today. You think, oh, absolutely, and you 0:10:16.320 --> 0:10:19.319 know first JJ, You're right. I mean, it's it's almost 0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:21.760 like we're taking him for granted. He's averaging eighteen points 0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:25.760 per game. He had twenty tonight, and he's so good 0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:29.480 at getting away from players and using his speed. Look, 0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:32.800 if it was that easy to get open and to 0:10:33.120 --> 0:10:35.280 run around these screens and to use your body and 0:10:35.640 --> 0:10:38.000 use it for like, everybody would do it. But Reddick 0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:40.240 is really quick. He's a master. And let's go back 0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:44.600 to the podium. I think this is Jonah Bolden coming 0:10:44.679 --> 0:10:47.840 up to the pony would be the result of your 0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:50.640 I mean the cause of I think, why do you 0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:52.959 think you're playing so much better now? I mean, is 0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:58.680 it just opportunity or uh yeah, um Note I wouldn't 0:10:58.679 --> 0:11:02.240 say opportunity on hundred percent. Um the teammates, the guys 0:11:02.240 --> 0:11:04.640 that we have on the team. I think maybe it's 0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:06.920 a third interview today or whatnot that I've said, it's 0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:08.960 just it's so much easier to play with guys like 0:11:09.000 --> 0:11:13.199 TJ and Ben who put passing an assist before scoring, 0:11:13.240 --> 0:11:16.640 you know, unsebbige players, um, and so knowing that just 0:11:16.679 --> 0:11:18.960 knowing to get to spots and being in spots to 0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:21.000 know that you're just gonna get the ball and get 0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:26.200 the points is makes the game fun and easier. Did 0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:29.960 you learn anything about yourself like early on when you 0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:32.560 know you're getting a lot of DMPs and going down 0:11:32.640 --> 0:11:37.520 to DG League? No, Um, I once I've learned anything 0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:40.800 about myself. I never doubted myself. I just I knew 0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:43.240 what the dude was coming in, um, and I knew, 0:11:43.280 --> 0:11:46.120 like I guess at the NBA's very opportunitistic league, Um, 0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:50.040 guys get hurt, you know, guys red blah blah blah um. 0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:52.400 And the coaches always had trusted me that were just 0:11:52.600 --> 0:11:55.160 waiting for the time and then put me in when 0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:57.360 they felt his best, and I just kind of snatched 0:11:57.360 --> 0:12:01.200 it up. So pretty's six or rookie big man Jonah 0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:04.000 Bolden talking about his performance tonight with eleven points and 0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:07.720 nine rebounds. So time the seventy sixers get another two 0:12:07.800 --> 0:12:10.760 day at Mini Reprieve and then it's the Washington Wizards 0:12:10.800 --> 0:12:12.600 for a home and home back to back to wrap 0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:14.760 up that season. See yeah, and just real quick to 0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:17.640 play off of Jonah there. It is opportunity. I mean, 0:12:17.640 --> 0:12:19.720 he's getting in there, and tonight what I thought he 0:12:19.720 --> 0:12:21.840 did is he got to the rim and Ben was 0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:23.400 looking for him. I mean, then you look down. He 0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:27.120 also had nine rebounds, so he had a terrific game. 0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:30.280 And then it also takes some time, so he's committed 0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:32.160 some fouls at him. I'm sure he would love to 0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:35.360 have back. He's gotten into foul difficulty and tonight I 0:12:35.400 --> 0:12:37.959 thought and he made one, you know, one foul. I'm 0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:40.320 sure he'd love to have back. But for the most part, 0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:42.959 he's getting more comfortable out there, and that's huge because 0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:46.320 come on, it is a big stage. It's a huge opportunity. 0:12:46.679 --> 0:12:48.760 And then he's come out there and the more and 0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:52.240 more he's played, he's showing what coach Brown has talked about, 0:12:52.240 --> 0:12:54.160 and that is his ability to be kind of a 0:12:54.200 --> 0:12:56.720 stretch for which you need to have. And he's a 0:12:56.760 --> 0:13:00.040 three and D player. So again this time that he 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:03.600 he's getting could be really crucial for the Sixers in 0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:05.960 big games down the stretch like in the rest of 0:13:05.960 --> 0:13:09.000 the regular season, and you know Lord Willing in the 0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:12.160 playoffs where he gets in there and steps up and 0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:14.840 either fills the gap for somebody or make some big 0:13:14.880 --> 0:13:17.800 shots that can really be beneficial going forward. So yeah, 0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:21.079 there's again breathing room in the schedule. Sixers take Washington 0:13:21.800 --> 0:13:25.280 back to back and without John wall I mean, now, 0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:27.800 last year they played better down the stretch at times. 0:13:27.840 --> 0:13:30.840 Without him, you got deal with twenty four points per game. 0:13:31.360 --> 0:13:34.280 I understand that Mark Kief Morris is out for them. 0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:36.800 I believe he has a neck injury. So it's been 0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:40.120 a tough season for Scott Brooks and the Wizards. But 0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:42.960 for the Sixers, the first is a home game, and 0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:45.600 they've been really good at home now seventeen out of twenty. 0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:48.000 Yere at the Center in terms of wins and losses. 0:13:48.400 --> 0:13:50.640 Take care of business, you hopefully get Jimmy and Wilson 0:13:50.679 --> 0:13:53.920 back into the mix and gain another victory, potentially your 0:13:54.000 --> 0:13:56.480 fourth win in a row, and just try to again 0:13:56.520 --> 0:13:59.920 play a better, more solid forty eight minutes and then 0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:02.160 go down there and see if you can't sweep them. 0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:04.440 As you get ready for a big weekend with the 0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:06.720 next you got Indiana coming up in about ten days. 0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:09.640 But you know, like Brett Brown said pregame, they're playing okay, 0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:12.240 they're playing pretty good, but there's a lot more out there. 0:14:12.280 --> 0:14:14.840 And I think that's what's really encouraging because the Sixers 0:14:14.880 --> 0:14:17.360 have played pretty to be the twelve games over five hundred, 0:14:17.600 --> 0:14:20.600 when last year this is when they took off. So 0:14:20.680 --> 0:14:23.240 we should be excited for the next couple three, four 0:14:23.280 --> 0:14:25.680 weeks and the rest of the season. All rightytime, talk 0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:27.800 to you on Tuesday, right back here in South Philly. 0:14:27.920 --> 0:14:32.240 Good night, Brian in South Philly.

You're 0:15:17.880 --> 0:15:19.760 looking at make like they did in their first two 0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:23.080 games of the new year on the road. Brian Seltzer 0:15:23.160 --> 0:15:25.160 with you from Sixers dot Com as we get to 0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:28.800 some of this evening's highlights. Seventy Sixers playing the Dallas 0:15:28.800 --> 0:15:30.480 Mavericks on the second night of the back to back 0:15:30.560 --> 0:15:33.280 for Dallas, no Jimmy Butler or Wilson Chandler once again, 0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:36.960 no problem getting off to a strong start. Joe Joe 0:15:37.000 --> 0:15:39.160 with a block, Ben Simmons on a drive, rap run, 0:15:39.200 --> 0:15:42.280 the bolding and another lay after Sixers are running rough 0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:46.280 shot on the dall rounding my baby, the Mavericks taking 0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:51.000 a time out. It's fourteen to six. Simmons wheeling and 0:15:51.320 --> 0:15:55.040 dealing and bolding on the receiving end, a twelve two 0:15:55.200 --> 0:15:58.280 run for the Sixers and an Ausie goal for the 0:15:58.320 --> 0:16:01.600 seventy sixers, making it fourteen teen to six. After one 0:16:01.680 --> 0:16:04.280 quarter of the Sixers were up thirty one to twenty six. 0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:07.400 In the second, Dallas made its move, actually turning things 0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:10.200 over to its second unit, which played really, really well. 0:16:10.240 --> 0:16:13.320 Gave them some nice energy, and Dallas briefly at a 0:16:13.320 --> 0:16:16.880 couple points, held leads that range from two to four 0:16:16.920 --> 0:16:19.520 points in the game, but the seventy Sixers wrapped up 0:16:19.520 --> 0:16:22.320 the first half ironically enough, on another twelve to two 0:16:22.400 --> 0:16:26.080 run Barnes guard Simmons. Ben Simmons has gonna have to 0:16:26.080 --> 0:16:29.480 move that ball, drives it into the lane, turns, fades 0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:33.960 right hand, chump hooking in one second to go. Simmons 0:16:34.000 --> 0:16:37.680 shoots and scores fifty nine fifty one. Was how it 0:16:37.800 --> 0:16:40.600 went for the seventy Sixers at the break in the 0:16:40.680 --> 0:16:43.160 third quarter. Got to see a little bit of Shake Milton, 0:16:43.200 --> 0:16:45.520 one of two two way contract players for the Sixers 0:16:45.560 --> 0:16:47.520 this season. He's been getting more and more run lately, 0:16:47.560 --> 0:16:50.280 and he made some nice things happen to him. Simmons 0:16:50.280 --> 0:16:52.520 donald left against Barnes, drumbles with the right hand in 0:16:52.560 --> 0:16:55.280 the lane. Back out top the shake Milton, he drives 0:16:55.280 --> 0:16:58.800 at underhand, scoop up the good shake, rattling roll. It's 0:16:58.840 --> 0:17:03.600 good Milton driving. Layup seventy three fifty nine in favor 0:17:03.640 --> 0:17:06.040 of the Sixers. They were up by seventeen eighty seven 0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:09.159 to seventy going into the fourth quarter. Dallas drung some 0:17:09.200 --> 0:17:13.280 possessions of scoring variety together. Ben Simmons had an answered 0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:17.080 Simmons with it back to furk On drives step back, 0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:19.080 can't get free, two to shoot Simmons is gonna have 0:17:19.080 --> 0:17:22.080 to fire a turnaround jump shot by Simmons and you 0:17:22.280 --> 0:17:27.240 bet you up and good Ben Simmons now nine field 0:17:27.280 --> 0:17:30.639 goes a crowd loves it. One of two jump shots 0:17:30.640 --> 0:17:33.480 that Simmons made in tonight's game, letting it fly with 0:17:33.520 --> 0:17:36.600 a pretty regular base of seventy two seventy eight seventy 0:17:36.600 --> 0:17:38.960 sixers and fur Con cork Moss filling in tonight for 0:17:39.040 --> 0:17:41.320 Jimmy Butler in the starting lineup. He helped put this 0:17:41.359 --> 0:17:43.800 one away. Joela has it down on left against Powell 0:17:44.200 --> 0:17:46.399 into the lane. He's doubled back up the Jonah rightside 0:17:46.440 --> 0:17:49.480 Corkbos three ball shot here got it furke On Corkmos 0:17:49.640 --> 0:17:53.360 knocking down to three. One on one to ninety one 0:17:53.440 --> 0:17:55.520 was the score at that point. The seventy sixers with 0:17:55.640 --> 0:17:57.960 stand alight spurt from the Mavericks, they go on twenty 0:17:57.960 --> 0:18:00.480 by six one oh six to one hundred six, or 0:18:00.520 --> 0:18:02.400 shot forty six and a half percent from the field 0:18:02.400 --> 0:18:04.760 of Mavericks forty three and a half percent, six or 0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:07.119 six of twenty six from outside the arc. Dallas was 0:18:07.200 --> 0:18:10.879 nine of thirty one. Sixers were plus one on the glass. 0:18:10.920 --> 0:18:14.120 They committed just ten turnovers. That was great to see. 0:18:14.160 --> 0:18:18.080 They also had thirty one assists on thirty nine made 0:18:18.119 --> 0:18:21.560 baskets a testament to the style of play the Sixers had. 0:18:21.600 --> 0:18:23.720 Because you know so, we'll get to another number. The 0:18:23.760 --> 0:18:26.320 Sixers had sixty two points in the paint, and that 0:18:26.440 --> 0:18:28.399 might lead you to think, well, Joel Embiid must have 0:18:28.400 --> 0:18:31.080 been living down low and fueling that. Joel had a 0:18:31.160 --> 0:18:34.080 steady game, a solid game twenty five and twelve. But 0:18:34.200 --> 0:18:37.480 those numbers with the points in the paint, I thought 0:18:37.520 --> 0:18:42.359 were more reflection of sharp passing and cutting, running the 0:18:42.400 --> 0:18:45.119 floor with guys like Jonah Bolden. We saw you like 0:18:45.160 --> 0:18:49.399 that shake Milton basket. That was a perfect example. Landry 0:18:49.440 --> 0:18:52.080 sham At the beneficiary of some good cuts JJ Reddick 0:18:52.119 --> 0:18:55.080 as well. So the Sixers really turned it on inside 0:18:55.119 --> 0:18:59.040 and got the job done. On the Sixer side of things. 0:18:59.240 --> 0:19:02.399 Joel Embiid ended up pacing all players with twenty five points. 0:19:02.680 --> 0:19:05.840 He also had twelve rebounds verse thirty fourth NBA leading 0:19:06.000 --> 0:19:10.040 double double Ben Simmons his sixth triple double with twenty points, 0:19:10.119 --> 0:19:13.680 fourteen rebounds, eleven assists. He is second to Russell Westbrook 0:19:13.680 --> 0:19:17.240 in that statistical category. Westbrook has eleven triple doubles on 0:19:17.240 --> 0:19:19.520 the year. JJ Reddick with twenty points eight to fourteen 0:19:19.560 --> 0:19:23.760 from the field, Jonah Bolden Great with eleven points, nine rebounds, 0:19:23.800 --> 0:19:27.600 two block shots, steady game from fur con Quirkmas seven points, 0:19:27.640 --> 0:19:31.280 six rebounds, four assists seven, Philandry Shammont off the bench, 0:19:31.359 --> 0:19:35.080 t J McConnell and Shake Milton each with six points, 0:19:35.119 --> 0:19:37.800 seventy six ers. With the winner now twenty six and fourteen, 0:19:37.800 --> 0:19:41.000 the Dallas Mavericks fall to eighteen and twenty one seventy 0:19:41.000 --> 0:19:43.440 six ers. Next game is going to be on Tuesday, 0:19:43.560 --> 0:19:47.399 seven o'clock versus the Washington Wizard struggling and now they 0:19:47.400 --> 0:19:50.080 don't have the all star John Wall for the rest 0:19:50.080 --> 0:19:52.400 of the year. He was diagnosed with a season ending 0:19:52.480 --> 0:19:57.040 heel injury just before January first, So at the game 0:19:57.040 --> 0:20:00.360 time at seven, we will get to at around six 0:20:00.520 --> 0:20:02.800 fifty with our pregame coverage on some of our Sixers 0:20:02.840 --> 0:20:05.680 Rador Network affiliates.
