Speaker 1: You're listening to rewind, they'll listen back on press conferences,
Speaker 1: highlights and analysis from the seventy sixers previous game. The
Speaker 1: Sixers win over the Cavaliers one, fourteen to ninety five
Speaker 1: after losing their first two games on this road trip.
Speaker 1: Matisse Diable has joined us in Matisse, I thought it
Speaker 1: played really well, and boy, you had a couple of
Speaker 1: nice jams of three. The defense is always there. Must
Speaker 1: have felt good for your team a to blow them
Speaker 1: out and for you to get back in there and
Speaker 1: get in the groove a little bit. Oh yeah, so sure.
Speaker 1: I mean we've been struggling a little bit, so to
Speaker 1: get this win was huge. And then definitely for me
Speaker 1: just to see the ball going a couple of times
Speaker 1: that was good. And the drive it looked like you
Speaker 1: had a little pack twelve knowledge there against Kevin Porter.
Speaker 1: You were able to get five him, get a step
Speaker 1: and get that jam and the earlier dunk in the
Speaker 1: first half, and that's there that you got to take
Speaker 1: that when it's there, right, let's yeah every time. Every time.
Speaker 1: Those are huge energy plays and I mean we had
Speaker 1: a lot of those as a team today, So I
Speaker 1: think that helped a lot and I was getting this
Speaker 1: win so last thing. But your team is trying to
Speaker 1: come together, and I thought especially in the third, I
Speaker 1: mean there was some drop off there after those early
Speaker 1: easy baskets, but tonight I thought that Josh struggled a
Speaker 1: little bit overall. But this may be the best that
Speaker 1: the group has played in dominating Cleveland in the first
Speaker 1: twenty four minutes. Would you agree? Yeah, I think this
Speaker 1: is the time bestball that we started to play every
Speaker 1: day and we stop up on the court, and I
Speaker 1: think for us to just see ourselves do it and
Speaker 1: have this kind of success is gonna be huge for
Speaker 1: us to carry over into these next few games at home.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Matisse, appreciate it. Congrats, Thank you guys. All right,

Speaker 1: one up by twenty fourth a half, they led ninety
Speaker 1: five sixty nine into the fourth. Cleveland got it to
Speaker 1: within fifteen and the fourth, but the Sixers able to
Speaker 1: pull away and win handily. And tonight or today, this evening,
Speaker 1: this afternoon to Bias Harris with twenty seven, he had
Speaker 1: to come in and kind of punctuate the victory with
Speaker 1: some points down the stretch to create that separation. Sixers
Speaker 1: had an eight oh run, so he ended up with
Speaker 1: twenty seven points thirty and a half minutes twelve of fourteen,
Speaker 1: five rebounds, five assists, two steals, two blocks, plus twenty
Speaker 1: three to Bias Harris, our independence Blue Cross player of
Speaker 1: the game. And then James and Is the third coming
Speaker 1: off the bench with fourteen points. He had a couple
Speaker 1: of threes in the first half ended up with one
Speaker 1: more in the game. All told, he goes five of
Speaker 1: seven in sixteen minutes. About that efficient four rebounds, fourteen
Speaker 1: points and a block. James Ennis ore NJM Insurance six
Speaker 1: Man of the Game. Sixers win one, fourteen ninety five.
Speaker 1: They're eight and five and they're coming home for three
Speaker 1: straight games at the Center Tom mc ginnis here in
Speaker 1: Northeast Ohio out the Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse. Sixers now eight
Speaker 1: and five. Cleveland through a dozen games four and eight.
Speaker 1: They've now dropped three games in a row. The Sixers
Speaker 1: with four their five starters and double figures offensively, Ennis
Speaker 1: and Corkmas in double figures. In fact, they couldbine for
Speaker 1: twenty seven points off the bench. A Sixers bench outscored
Speaker 1: Cleveland in this game, and the Sixers in fast breakpoints
Speaker 1: had the edge seventeen to eight, and the rebound edge
Speaker 1: in total forty four forty two. The big disparity was
Speaker 1: in assists. Ben Simmons had eleven for the Sixers, his
Speaker 1: fourth point assists double double of the year, and all told,
Speaker 1: the Sixers thirty three assists to fourteen for Cleveland six
Speaker 1: to shoot fifty five percent. It beat at fourteen points.
Speaker 1: He only played twenty two and a half, but it's
Speaker 1: a leather point for El Horpert. Here's coach Brown outside
Speaker 1: the Sixers locker room. I thought, defensively tonight, they came
Speaker 1: out with a sting. They were purposeful, and we should be.
Speaker 1: You know, how people respond to losing and trying to
Speaker 1: get back on track is always an interesting sort of
Speaker 1: snapshot for all of us. And I thought the guy
Speaker 1: was so great, you know, they came out with a
Speaker 1: sense of urgency. For the most part, they didn't let up,
Speaker 1: and I thought that our defense, you know, sort of
Speaker 1: paved the way for our offense. But why do you
Speaker 1: think it was the difference I mean in their performance.
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's always, it's always. I think the
Speaker 1: the ability to sustain a spirit, you know, the ability
Speaker 1: to sustain a ruthless like forty eight minute thing is
Speaker 1: the holy grail that all coaches seek. And you know,
Speaker 1: over the course of eighty two games, like it's unrealistic
Speaker 1: to think like obviously you're going to get that. You
Speaker 1: need it more than not. You especially need to see
Speaker 1: sort of a crude um um examples where it just
Speaker 1: keeps getting better and better and better and I thought
Speaker 1: it was kind of sporadic in Oklahoma City. It wasn't
Speaker 1: that tonight. And I think it's just human nature, you know,
Speaker 1: And it's that's my job as the coach to try
Speaker 1: to corral that arrest that as much as I can.
Speaker 1: What about Trey Burke, You went to him early in
Speaker 1: the game. Can you talk about that the reason why
Speaker 1: you did it. I mean, it's it's one of the
Speaker 1: good things about the team that that Elton and the
Speaker 1: front office have constructed is you do look down and
Speaker 1: you feel like you have options. And you know, when
Speaker 1: I brought Jay rich Uh sort of off off the
Speaker 1: backup point guard duties and playing him kind of exclusively
Speaker 1: as a too, you got Haul and Trey like to
Speaker 1: look at and call upon and I don't want to
Speaker 1: see any player rot. I feel like I got to
Speaker 1: keep those guys alive. It wasn't like Howul did anything wrong.
Speaker 1: And I thought, like Trey coming in and his old coach,
Speaker 1: you know, maybe there was a connection of dots there.
Speaker 1: And to your point, I thought he really was a
Speaker 1: was a spark that got us going. And I thought
Speaker 1: his defense was excellent as well. What did you make
Speaker 1: of what James Ennis was able to provide off the bench.
Speaker 1: I think when you look at the bench in totality,
Speaker 1: whether it's whether it's you know, Keys point about Trey,
Speaker 1: or whether you look at at James and furk On,
Speaker 1: you know they had scoring opportunities that they capitalized on.
Speaker 1: Then I think, you know, Matisse came in and gave
Speaker 1: us some good stuff. I was glad to see Shake
Speaker 1: come in and play in the game and get some minutes.
Speaker 1: But I thought I've bench in general, those wings I
Speaker 1: thought did a pretty good job. Sixers coach Brett Brown
Speaker 1: outside these Sixers lock room on the event floor level
Speaker 1: here in Cleveland. The Sixers win by nineteen again the
Speaker 1: final one, fourteen to ninety five. The Sixers are now
Speaker 1: eight and five. Their record on the road four and five,
Speaker 1: and they'll be unbeaten when they go home at four
Speaker 1: and oh to take on the New York Knicks Wednesday
Speaker 1: at seven. We'll get to the highlights in this one.
Speaker 1: Our things to Dylan McKinnon, Carl Namoli back at the station,
Speaker 1: Stacey Knocks here in Cleveland, engineering our broadcast. The Sixers
Speaker 1: jumped out to the early eleven point lead. James Ennis
Speaker 1: came off the bench as Brett Brown was just saying,
Speaker 1: the Wings did a good job. Ennis getting a steal
Speaker 1: in a runout after a nice defensive play for the
Speaker 1: Sixers in the opening quarter of play, Delavadova driving down
Speaker 1: firk ont end of the the late edis boxing and the
Speaker 1: Bolts lose James on the run and it's to the
Speaker 1: line and it's to the rip of the lake. Got
Speaker 1: it and James Ennis beating Kevin Porter Junior ten that
Speaker 1: glass that steal the run out the hoop and he's
Speaker 1: got eight and'll lead to six Ers five point lead
Speaker 1: twenty three eighteen, and the Sixers would go on the
Speaker 1: lead by eleven. After the opening quarter was thirty three
Speaker 1: to twenty two. Tobias Harris had arguably his best game
Speaker 1: for the Sixers, most efficient. He ended up twelve or
Speaker 1: fourteen with twenty seven points. The Sixers just had a
Speaker 1: close range shot that went a ride, and right after
Speaker 1: that Harris stole the outlet and got this slam dunk.
Speaker 1: Richardson back to beat open seventeen footer drives at side
Speaker 1: steps one man throws it in a beat, passing an
Speaker 1: open look and throws it away, but it's a steal
Speaker 1: by Harris. And he gets a jam, yet he Austen
Speaker 1: fails to control the outlet, and Brett Brown, motioning to
Speaker 1: Joe Evan Beach shoot that he had an open fifteen
Speaker 1: footer and I mean wide open, and the Sixers would
Speaker 1: go on. Vlid had intermission sixty eight to forty four.
Speaker 1: So you think Cleveland would have a little fight, make
Speaker 1: things a little more difficult to begin the third. Not
Speaker 1: the case. Ben Simmons roaming free for an easy dunk
Speaker 1: right out of the gate. In the second half, Colin
Speaker 1: Sexton couldn't get it to go. Sixers on a round
Speaker 1: with Betty whose guard Simmons nobody up blow by in
Speaker 1: a two hand jam. The Cavaliers bad shot to start
Speaker 1: the possession for the third, and then Ben Simmons runs
Speaker 1: it down and jams it, and it was going so easy.
Speaker 1: Cleveland started to come back a little bit of rash
Speaker 1: of turnovers and poor shots by the Sixers, but then
Speaker 1: Furkon Cork Moss settled things down. He was five of eight,
Speaker 1: including the three. He finished with thirteen points. He was
Speaker 1: plus fifteen in the game. Here's corkmis from Burke on
Speaker 1: the drive. He's got Scott ahead. He goes to furkon
Speaker 1: cork Mos fakes to three side steps of defenders, shoots
Speaker 1: it and good furkon corkms is dominating here. Late in
Speaker 1: this third quarter of play. He has ten points now
Speaker 1: in the game. So Furkon again not just to catch
Speaker 1: and shoot player, but very good off the bounce on
Speaker 1: the perimeter. And then he had a couple inside scoop
Speaker 1: layups as well. Sixers led after three ninety five sixty nine,
Speaker 1: but once again Cleveland again not tightening the game where
Speaker 1: you're starting to wonder, oh no, but they got it
Speaker 1: down to fifteen. Ret Brown had to put Tobias Harris
Speaker 1: back in the game and he did not disappoint. Harris
Speaker 1: had five in a road including this trade from outside,
Speaker 1: come up a baskets here could put it on a reach,
Speaker 1: including this one of three in it's good Tobias Harris
Speaker 1: now ten of twelve. That's his first three in the game.
Speaker 1: Well constructed out of the time out netto feed Harris
Speaker 1: and Tobias with twenty two. So these Sixers win the
Speaker 1: game by nineteen points one fourteen to ninety five and
Speaker 1: Harris leading the way with twenty seven. Sixers end up
Speaker 1: with six players in double figures Cavaliers had five, and
Speaker 1: the Sixers with two wins over Cleveland in their last
Speaker 1: four games, and now eight and five through thirteen games.
Speaker 1: They come off the road having already played nine road games,
Speaker 1: and the Sixers snap of mini two games skid with
Speaker 1: those losses in Orlando and Friday in Oklahoma. So up
Speaker 1: next three straight home games, including Wednesday night when the
Speaker 1: Sixers take on the New York Knicks. You've been listening
Speaker 1: to Rewind, look out for fresh episodes the day after
Speaker 1: every seventy Sixers game this season.
