Tonight, a season low eighty six. They only 0:02:08.659 --> 0:02:12.419 had fourteen points in the fourth quarter, and a reminder, 0:02:12.499 --> 0:02:15.179 it was a one point game. You know, it's not 0:02:15.259 --> 0:02:18.659 like the Magic was up double digits, and you know, 0:02:18.739 --> 0:02:21.779 the fourth quarter wasn't it was totally in play. It 0:02:21.819 --> 0:02:25.699 was seventy three, seventy two, and the Sixers are outscored 0:02:25.739 --> 0:02:28.299 in the final frame twenty five to fourteen. There were 0:02:28.379 --> 0:02:31.059 times in the game you just you didn't like the energy, 0:02:31.179 --> 0:02:34.739 the spirit, the fight, and it was there at times, 0:02:34.779 --> 0:02:37.379 but not through forty eight. And that's been an issue 0:02:38.019 --> 0:02:41.339 for the Sixers during the start as they fall. 0:02:41.459 --> 0:02:42.299 Now for the. 0:02:44.379 --> 0:02:48.179 In the ballgame, they still have two wins on the season, 0:02:49.659 --> 0:02:55.099 and so through twelve games now they're two and ten. 0:02:56.659 --> 0:03:00.179 And it bead was like I said, Joelle looked better, 0:03:00.219 --> 0:03:02.339 but in the end he was five of fifteen. Just 0:03:02.379 --> 0:03:05.179 in the second half, he did not seem to have 0:03:05.259 --> 0:03:09.059 the jump or you know, like he did not look 0:03:09.739 --> 0:03:10.219 that great. 0:03:10.459 --> 0:03:12.979 I'll put it that way. Matt Murphy is back. 0:03:13.019 --> 0:03:17.539 Our postgame coverage is brought to you by Parks Casino. 0:03:17.619 --> 0:03:21.099 And so the Sixers in front of seventeen thousand, eight 0:03:21.219 --> 0:03:25.499 hundred and forty three in Orlando fall by the final 0:03:25.579 --> 0:03:30.419 of ninety eight eighty six. Murph, What say you. 0:03:31.339 --> 0:03:34.699 Well, I mean, we've talked about how Orlando is still 0:03:34.779 --> 0:03:38.459 undefeated at home, Tom, and just what's the sense of 0:03:38.779 --> 0:03:41.459 why they have that type of home court advantage. What 0:03:41.899 --> 0:03:44.259 did you see from the Wagner brothers as they kind 0:03:44.299 --> 0:03:46.259 of ignited this thing in the third quarter? 0:03:46.619 --> 0:03:49.339 Yeah, I mean, Franz Wagner is the standout. He had 0:03:49.379 --> 0:03:53.419 thirty one, but Mo Wagner he had fourteen, And in 0:03:53.459 --> 0:03:55.979 that third quarter I thought he was the guy. He 0:03:56.059 --> 0:03:59.379 made a bunch of hustle plays, he got the crowd involved. 0:03:59.419 --> 0:04:02.059 They clearly he's like a fan favorite. They feed off 0:04:02.059 --> 0:04:05.779 of him. And you know, he made a number play 0:04:05.859 --> 0:04:09.259 getting a to a loose ball rebound, getting down the lane, 0:04:09.259 --> 0:04:12.379 he made a real nice spin play, and you know 0:04:12.619 --> 0:04:15.499 he was playing with the energy and the fire that 0:04:15.539 --> 0:04:18.339 you'll kind of want to see, and in a game 0:04:18.379 --> 0:04:21.419 that was totally up for grabs, he was the guy. 0:04:21.499 --> 0:04:23.459 And he's not even close to being the best player 0:04:23.459 --> 0:04:26.539 out on the floor and his brother is He is 0:04:26.579 --> 0:04:28.539 the guy for them right now in the absence of 0:04:28.579 --> 0:04:31.859 Ben Carro. They're running their offense through him, and they 0:04:32.219 --> 0:04:34.539 set him up in ISOs from the top. They're trying 0:04:34.579 --> 0:04:38.459 to put him in screen roll situations to force a switch, 0:04:39.299 --> 0:04:42.339 and you know, he's got an array he can be. 0:04:43.059 --> 0:04:46.659 Speaking of Franz Wagner, he can be a player. You know, 0:04:46.779 --> 0:04:49.539 maybe not with the physicality, as coach Nurse talked about 0:04:49.579 --> 0:04:52.739 pregame with a Ben Carrow, but he can score a 0:04:52.819 --> 0:04:55.899 number of ways, including outside. He had five threes in 0:04:55.939 --> 0:04:58.379 the game, and the sixers. I don't know if you know, 0:04:58.419 --> 0:05:01.059 they didn't have any answer for him, but he was 0:05:01.499 --> 0:05:04.979 very good and those two guys were quite impactful in 0:05:04.979 --> 0:05:05.739 that third quarter. 0:05:06.139 --> 0:05:08.819 His stat line, we talked about the shooting being a 0:05:08.859 --> 0:05:10.979 little bit of a flash in the pan from beyond 0:05:11.019 --> 0:05:13.299 the arc for Franz Wagner, who finishes with the game 0:05:13.379 --> 0:05:16.379 highs of thirty one points, eleven rebounds, and six assists. 0:05:16.379 --> 0:05:18.739 But it's a very similar stat line to what he's 0:05:18.779 --> 0:05:21.099 put up without Palo recently. If you look at his 0:05:21.179 --> 0:05:24.019 last five or six, he's twenty seven plus points in 0:05:24.099 --> 0:05:28.019 five of those six games, with similar rebound and assist totals, 0:05:28.099 --> 0:05:30.459 So in forty one minutes tonight, he's kind of done. 0:05:30.779 --> 0:05:33.659 He did what he had been doing. The Sixers fall 0:05:33.699 --> 0:05:36.499 to the Magic ninety eight eighty six in Orlando. It 0:05:36.659 --> 0:05:40.179 was an Emirates NBA Cup game. Paul George and Joel 0:05:40.219 --> 0:05:42.939 Embiid returned to the lineup. It was also Jared McCain's 0:05:42.979 --> 0:05:46.459 second career start. He started with George and Embiid and 0:05:46.499 --> 0:05:49.619 he finished with twenty nine points, but he foiled out 0:05:49.659 --> 0:05:53.299 with a handful of minutes still remaining in this game. 0:05:53.819 --> 0:05:57.139 How did that happen? And what did you see before that? Well? 0:05:57.219 --> 0:05:58.259 What what had you know? 0:05:58.459 --> 0:06:01.259 The foul was again they got an ISO where Wagner 0:06:01.379 --> 0:06:03.899 got Jared on him and had a whole wing. He 0:06:03.939 --> 0:06:05.859 was on the right wing, right by the Sixers bench. 0:06:06.379 --> 0:06:09.499 And you know, these players are so smart, speaking of 0:06:09.539 --> 0:06:12.099 all NBA players, but Franz Wagner knew he was going 0:06:12.179 --> 0:06:15.579 to be able to drive and initiate contact and get 0:06:15.619 --> 0:06:18.659 the foul call on on Jared. But otherwise Jared was 0:06:18.739 --> 0:06:21.579 really good. You know, that was that was a tough call, 0:06:21.619 --> 0:06:24.979 but it was legit, and you know, Jared was really good. 0:06:25.019 --> 0:06:27.379 Like I said, like that, you can't pay a bigger 0:06:27.419 --> 0:06:29.739 compliment than this. But when he was not in the game, 0:06:30.179 --> 0:06:33.139 your overall thought was get him in the game, you know. 0:06:33.139 --> 0:06:36.579 And I'm not saying like coach, but I mean because 0:06:36.659 --> 0:06:38.659 he was that he was bringing the energy and he 0:06:38.699 --> 0:06:41.139 felt like he was the guy that was was giving 0:06:41.139 --> 0:06:44.299 the Sixers the best chance. And Matt I got a 0:06:44.379 --> 0:06:47.099 little bit of a bullet. I just thought of a positive. 0:06:48.739 --> 0:06:51.419 So they're the Sixers pretty clear. I mean, you would 0:06:51.499 --> 0:06:53.859 think they're not going to Vegas, right, Like, they're zero 0:06:53.859 --> 0:06:56.739 and two and they already lost to these two teams, 0:06:56.739 --> 0:06:58.299 so they're not gonna If they were to tie with 0:06:58.339 --> 0:07:01.459 the Magic or the Knicks, those two teams would win, right. So, 0:07:02.099 --> 0:07:04.819 like Coach said this, this was kind of like a 0:07:04.859 --> 0:07:07.019 tie breaker, So I mean like a musk game. 0:07:07.619 --> 0:07:09.259 So like there's a breathing. 0:07:09.379 --> 0:07:11.099 You know, if you look at the schedule when it 0:07:11.099 --> 0:07:12.859 came out in August, you're like, what is. 0:07:12.859 --> 0:07:13.659 Up with this? Here? 0:07:14.219 --> 0:07:16.819 All these days off? So they're gonna play two games. 0:07:17.339 --> 0:07:19.419 One will be at the Center and one will be 0:07:19.499 --> 0:07:22.419 on the road, right, yep, So there's gonna be three 0:07:22.499 --> 0:07:25.859 or four days maybe on either side of those games 0:07:25.899 --> 0:07:27.379 where the Sixers are going to have a break in 0:07:27.419 --> 0:07:30.939 the schedule. Now you've been going at it since September, 0:07:31.339 --> 0:07:33.099 so you need a little breathing room. You need a 0:07:33.139 --> 0:07:35.819 little time away from the game, time away heel up 0:07:35.859 --> 0:07:39.139 a little bit. But mini camp by that time, Maxie 0:07:39.219 --> 0:07:43.299 should be healthy, right and be like start over that. 0:07:43.419 --> 0:07:47.819 That's my point, right there is like like reboot, like 0:07:47.979 --> 0:07:50.459 part two. Here we go twenty four to twenty five 0:07:50.539 --> 0:07:54.339 season take two. You hear me, I hear you. That's 0:07:54.379 --> 0:07:55.179 a good, great point. 0:07:55.179 --> 0:07:57.339 If fans look at the schedule right now after the 0:07:57.339 --> 0:08:01.859 game on Sunday, December eighth against Chicago, it's blank from 0:08:01.899 --> 0:08:05.659 the ninth of December through the nineteenth for the Sixers, 0:08:05.659 --> 0:08:07.739 And that's the range that you're talking about. Teams will 0:08:07.739 --> 0:08:10.659 have two games added to their schedule, no matter their 0:08:11.379 --> 0:08:14.619 place in the NBA Cup and the team that teams 0:08:14.619 --> 0:08:16.899 that make the championship. That's why it doesn't count towards 0:08:16.899 --> 0:08:20.739 the stats because it's technically the eighty third game of 0:08:20.979 --> 0:08:23.499 their season. But you're right, Orlando and New York certainly 0:08:23.579 --> 0:08:25.859 in the driver's seats. Only one team comes out of 0:08:25.859 --> 0:08:28.339 the group and only one team elsewhere in the East 0:08:28.419 --> 0:08:31.099 makes it as a wild card, so the Sixers are 0:08:31.099 --> 0:08:34.059 in an O too hole, But that certainly could be 0:08:34.419 --> 0:08:37.379 a positive thing for them at that point in the 0:08:37.459 --> 0:08:40.379 second week of December and tom now they go to Miami. 0:08:40.419 --> 0:08:43.939 It's a full weekend before playing the Heat. Jimmy Butler's 0:08:43.979 --> 0:08:45.979 been dealing with in ankle sprain. He hasn't played the 0:08:46.059 --> 0:08:49.699 last three, including tonight. They just beat Indiana twenty four 0:08:49.739 --> 0:08:52.059 to one eleven. It was a big BAM out of 0:08:52.099 --> 0:08:56.259 bio game, thirty points, eleven rebounds, seven assists, and five steals. 0:08:56.299 --> 0:09:00.139 So yes, in NBA circles, a weekend in Miami can 0:09:00.179 --> 0:09:04.699 be thought of as WHOA, you know, that's tough, but 0:09:04.859 --> 0:09:07.219 you know it's a you know what I'm saying, like 0:09:07.419 --> 0:09:11.459 going down there. So and obviously the Heat, BAM's really good. 0:09:11.499 --> 0:09:14.019 That's a huge win, you know, any of these teams, 0:09:14.059 --> 0:09:17.859 like the Magic just beat Indiana too, like, so that's 0:09:17.899 --> 0:09:20.219 a big win for them, And that'll be a tough 0:09:20.259 --> 0:09:21.299 game on Monday night. 0:09:21.459 --> 0:09:23.859 And I've got a quick positive that Sixers fans can 0:09:23.899 --> 0:09:26.419 take out of that that relates to the Heat, in 0:09:26.459 --> 0:09:30.379 that the Heat could have drafted both Maxi and McCain 0:09:30.779 --> 0:09:34.099 one pick earlier than the Sixers in each of their 0:09:34.139 --> 0:09:37.819 respective drafts. In twenty twenty, the Heat picked precious at 0:09:37.819 --> 0:09:41.699 schua At picked twenty over Tyrese Maxie, who went twenty 0:09:41.739 --> 0:09:44.659 first to the Sixers. And this past draft they picked 0:09:44.699 --> 0:09:48.419 Kalel Whare at fifteen and Jared McCain went at pick 0:09:48.499 --> 0:09:51.939 sixteen to the Philadelphia seventy six ers. So if nothing else, 0:09:51.979 --> 0:09:55.459 I mean, people should be excited about Jared McCain right 0:09:55.499 --> 0:09:56.779 now for the Sixers. 0:09:56.819 --> 0:09:59.859 Really really good, no doubt about it. It's neat to see. 0:09:59.619 --> 0:10:02.459 For sure, twenty seven point game against Charlotte, then twenty three, 0:10:02.579 --> 0:10:05.739 then thirty four, now twenty nine again tonight against Orlando. 0:10:05.779 --> 0:10:07.899 But Tom McGinnis, I hope you enjoy the full weekend 0:10:08.299 --> 0:10:12.499 in South Beach. Have a good night, all right, biem 0:10:12.659 --> 0:10:15.899 Tom McGinnis. After a ninety eight eighty six loss for 0:10:15.939 --> 0:10:20.779 the Sixers in Orlando to the Magic in the Emirates 0:10:20.939 --> 0:10:23.779 NBA Cup, we will break down the stats from this game, 0:10:24.139 --> 0:10:26.619 we will try to hear from head coach Nick Nurse, 0:10:27.219 --> 0:10:30.699 and we will have the audio highlights, which include plenty 0:10:30.739 --> 0:10:32.979 of big plays from Jared McCain, will get into his 0:10:33.099 --> 0:10:36.419 stat line as well. He's part of our stat of 0:10:36.459 --> 0:10:39.499 the game from this one, which we'll do on the 0:10:39.539 --> 0:10:42.739 other side when we continue on. After the twelve point 0:10:42.779 --> 0:10:45.539 loss for the Sixers, here on our Parks Casino post 0:10:45.539 --> 0:10:47.299 game show, you were. 0:10:47.259 --> 0:10:50.579 Listening to the Sixeries. Wait do You Network, presented by 0:10:50.699 --> 0:10:52.219 Jackpot City Casino. 0:10:53.219 --> 0:10:56.499 Welcome back to the seventy six Ers postgame Show presented 0:10:56.539 --> 0:11:00.819 by Parks Casino. The Sixers in NBA Cup action on 0:11:00.859 --> 0:11:04.939 the road, this time in Orlando. So Tuesday, things kicked 0:11:04.939 --> 0:11:07.499 off for them in East Group A against the Knicks, 0:11:07.979 --> 0:11:11.339 a twelve point loss on the blue court in South Philadelphia. 0:11:11.459 --> 0:11:13.739 Then they take it on the road with a game, 0:11:13.979 --> 0:11:16.259 a hard fought game against the Cavaliers not part of 0:11:16.299 --> 0:11:20.179 the NBA Cup in between, and they go to Orlando 0:11:20.379 --> 0:11:24.779 tonight and it's another twelve point loss, and they are 0:11:24.819 --> 0:11:27.779 still at two wins for the young season. Ninety eight 0:11:27.899 --> 0:11:31.099 eighty six the final in favor of the Magic, who 0:11:31.139 --> 0:11:33.859 are seven and zero at home. They are eight and 0:11:34.139 --> 0:11:38.299 six on the season after a five game road trip 0:11:38.499 --> 0:11:43.299 followed by what is now a four game winning streak 0:11:43.459 --> 0:11:46.899 at home for the Magic. So kind of I mean, 0:11:46.939 --> 0:11:50.819 definitely a tale of of two sides here. It's actually 0:11:51.139 --> 0:11:54.859 a five game winning streak at home after the five 0:11:54.899 --> 0:11:57.339 game losing streaks. It was four coming in, So that's 0:11:57.699 --> 0:12:01.259 kind of a quirky results schedule so far for the 0:12:01.539 --> 0:12:06.579 Orlando Magic. The Sixers were without Maxi for the fifth 0:12:06.619 --> 0:12:10.539 straight game. Jared McCain made his second career start. He 0:12:10.619 --> 0:12:13.539 had a big night. Plenty to get to with of 0:12:13.579 --> 0:12:16.219 his from the audio highlights when we listen back in 0:12:16.259 --> 0:12:19.939 a few minutes, as called by Tom McGuinness, but the 0:12:20.899 --> 0:12:23.539 Magic from the four to fourteen mark of the third 0:12:23.619 --> 0:12:26.259 quarter when the Sixers were up sixty nine to sixty, 0:12:26.859 --> 0:12:30.819 they outscored the Sixers thirty eight seventeen through the finish 0:12:30.939 --> 0:12:34.419 line for the ninety eight eighty six win. Matt Murphy 0:12:34.499 --> 0:12:36.339 here with you. We still have our stat of the 0:12:36.339 --> 0:12:40.259 game upcoming, the game high leaders and those audio highlights. 0:12:40.259 --> 0:12:42.579 But before we do that, let's cueue up the head 0:12:42.619 --> 0:12:46.939 coach and his postgame press conference, Nick Nurse of the Sixers. 0:12:46.419 --> 0:12:49.539 Good thirty plus minutes and then a really bad fourteen. 0:12:49.579 --> 0:12:51.579 And that's what I'm always talking about, is stretching out 0:12:51.579 --> 0:12:53.819 the real, the really good play as long as you 0:12:53.899 --> 0:12:56.659 can and then you're not so good. Minutes got to 0:12:56.699 --> 0:13:01.739 be closer to average, right, and tonight they weren't because 0:13:01.739 --> 0:13:05.619 they're doing to play well. Would kind of a third quarter. Yeah, 0:13:05.659 --> 0:13:09.579 I mean, listen, he's he's playing with great energy. First 0:13:09.579 --> 0:13:11.939 of all. I think, you know, he's he's he's getting 0:13:11.979 --> 0:13:16.579 up the floor, he's getting some stuff in transition again again, 0:13:16.619 --> 0:13:18.579 he got a little bit of everything, some drives and 0:13:18.619 --> 0:13:21.059 some threes and and and all that kind of stuff. 0:13:21.099 --> 0:13:24.579 So I just I'm just you know, he's in he's 0:13:24.619 --> 0:13:27.019 in great shape, and he keeps playing as hard as 0:13:27.019 --> 0:13:30.579 he can and and moves quick when he catches the ball. 0:13:30.819 --> 0:13:33.099 Defense doesn't let him set all those kind of things. 0:13:33.099 --> 0:13:34.739 So he's doing a lot of good things offensively. 0:13:34.739 --> 0:13:35.019 For sure. 0:13:35.019 --> 0:13:37.539 I'll probably do like a couple more stats and continue 0:13:37.539 --> 0:13:40.339 to try to speed up just all of this, whether 0:13:40.379 --> 0:13:44.659 it's the synchronicity, whether it's the. 0:13:44.179 --> 0:13:48.059 Is there anything else that can be done to try to. 0:13:47.219 --> 0:13:51.219 Push Yeah, yeah, I mean I think I think it's 0:13:51.259 --> 0:13:53.139 a little bit of what I told him, you know, 0:13:53.259 --> 0:13:55.899 post game, was we've got to dig in and get 0:13:55.899 --> 0:13:57.779 to work on them, Like we've really got to get 0:13:57.939 --> 0:14:03.299 serious about the execution side of the offense right, and 0:14:03.339 --> 0:14:05.059 we've and we've got to figure out when we can 0:14:05.099 --> 0:14:07.619 do it, you know what, practice day, shoot arounds, all 0:14:07.619 --> 0:14:12.059 those things that we can get ourselves a level. I mean, 0:14:12.299 --> 0:14:14.779 it's it's not easy with a whole bunch of new 0:14:14.779 --> 0:14:18.179 guys and guys coming in and out obviously, but that's 0:14:18.179 --> 0:14:20.059 where we are. So we gotta, we gotta, we gotta 0:14:20.099 --> 0:14:21.219 get to work on it for sure. 0:14:22.219 --> 0:14:24.579 Kelly off the bench and Andre. 0:14:24.419 --> 0:14:25.939 With just I think four or five years. 0:14:26.899 --> 0:14:29.379 What went into those decisions and do you expect that to. 0:14:29.579 --> 0:14:33.659 Discribly moving forward? Yeah, I mean I just just a 0:14:33.779 --> 0:14:36.419 couple of things, just just trying to you know, obviously 0:14:36.539 --> 0:14:39.979 McCain is playing very well, probably earn him earning a 0:14:40.019 --> 0:14:40.899 starting position. 0:14:41.019 --> 0:14:41.459 For one. 0:14:42.459 --> 0:14:44.179 You guys have heard me talk a little bit about 0:14:44.219 --> 0:14:48.779 splitting Kelly and Caleb up a little bit more, and 0:14:49.339 --> 0:14:52.499 again just just also trying to maybe get Kelly going 0:14:52.579 --> 0:14:56.299 a little bit too. And then Drum, you know, Drum 0:14:56.379 --> 0:15:00.939 just had the sickness and whatever, so we you know, 0:15:00.939 --> 0:15:02.339 we threw him in there when we had we had 0:15:02.459 --> 0:15:05.859 both of our bigs playing four or five Joel and 0:15:05.899 --> 0:15:08.259 they were in kind of stretches together, which opened up 0:15:08.259 --> 0:15:10.739 a kind of a small window for drum, but we 0:15:10.739 --> 0:15:12.379 didn't get back to that in the second half. 0:15:14.059 --> 0:15:19.219 Thanks good, Yes, sorry, it's the head coach, Nick Nurse, 0:15:19.379 --> 0:15:23.619 joining the Parks Casino postgame show. After a ninety eight 0:15:23.699 --> 0:15:27.739 eighty six road loss for the Sixers in Orlando. They 0:15:27.859 --> 0:15:30.459 are on a three game road trip which heads to 0:15:31.059 --> 0:15:37.059 Miami on Monday night, followed by Memphis on Wednesday. Franz 0:15:37.179 --> 0:15:40.779 Wagner of the Magic had game highs across the board 0:15:40.819 --> 0:15:46.939 tonight with thirty one points and eleven rebounds and six 0:15:47.099 --> 0:15:51.699 assists for Orlando, who played their ninth straight game without 0:15:51.819 --> 0:15:55.019 Palo Bancaro, an All Star last year. We know the 0:15:55.019 --> 0:15:57.979 former number one pick. He has a torn oh bleak. 0:15:58.219 --> 0:15:59.899 So they are off to a two and zero start 0:15:59.939 --> 0:16:03.859 in the Cup, the NBA Cup without ban Caro. He's 0:16:03.899 --> 0:16:07.059 expected to miss the entirety of it with an injury 0:16:07.099 --> 0:16:10.579 that severe, and they are still perfect at home, seven 0:16:10.659 --> 0:16:13.539 to zero out of their eight and six record for 0:16:13.579 --> 0:16:16.459 the Sixers. Jared McCain was talked about there and talked 0:16:16.459 --> 0:16:18.819 about earning that spot in the lineup. He did start 0:16:18.819 --> 0:16:21.259 for Nick Nurse, and he scored a team high twenty 0:16:21.339 --> 0:16:24.219 nine points on ten of seventeen, shooting five for ten 0:16:24.259 --> 0:16:26.939 from three and four for fourth the line. He had 0:16:26.939 --> 0:16:30.459 four assists earlier in the game with the twenty nine points, 0:16:30.459 --> 0:16:32.859 but he fouled out at the four fifty six mark 0:16:33.659 --> 0:16:36.299 of the fourth quarter, and Tom McGinnis talked about it. 0:16:36.379 --> 0:16:43.259 The aforementioned frontz Wagner went right at the rookie Jared McCain, 0:16:43.379 --> 0:16:47.099 who had twenty nine. Embiid had twenty, so Joel Embiid 0:16:47.099 --> 0:16:50.659 and Paul George. Their second game playing together after their 0:16:50.699 --> 0:16:54.579 first was against the Knicks on Tuesday. George scores thirteen 0:16:54.699 --> 0:16:58.499 to Embiid's twenty. Both took fifteen shots. Paul George made 0:16:58.499 --> 0:17:01.459 four of his and Embiid made five of his, with 0:17:01.579 --> 0:17:03.539 ten of his twenty points coming at the line of 0:17:03.579 --> 0:17:07.019 perfect ten for ten, which leads us to our stat 0:17:07.139 --> 0:17:11.499 of the game. It's that with Embiid going ten for ten, 0:17:11.819 --> 0:17:15.899 he went eight for eight on Tuesday. McCain went four 0:17:15.979 --> 0:17:18.539 for four at the line tonight. They are both perfect 0:17:18.579 --> 0:17:21.459 on the season from the free throw line. Embiads eighteen 0:17:21.539 --> 0:17:24.539 for eighteen in his two games, and in twelve games, 0:17:24.899 --> 0:17:29.619 Jared McCain is twenty seven for twenty seven from the 0:17:29.619 --> 0:17:33.659 foul line. But obviously they would have traded that cherry 0:17:33.699 --> 0:17:37.779 picked stat for a W in Orlando, and unfortunately for 0:17:37.979 --> 0:17:40.539 Sixers fans and the squad, that is not the case. 0:17:40.619 --> 0:17:44.819 Ninety eight eighty six to the Orlando Magic a loss tonight. 0:17:44.859 --> 0:17:47.659 They only scored fourteen points as a team the Sixers 0:17:47.899 --> 0:17:52.059 in the fourth quarter, and again it was a sixty 0:17:52.139 --> 0:17:55.979 nine to sixty Sixers lead with four to fourteen left 0:17:56.499 --> 0:18:00.819 in the third quarter of tonight's game. We approach the 0:18:00.819 --> 0:18:02.859 top of the hour, so before we do our audio 0:18:02.939 --> 0:18:05.099 highlights and hear how this one played out with all 0:18:05.139 --> 0:18:08.219 of the key plays, We're going to pause ten seconds 0:18:08.219 --> 0:18:11.579 for station identification. Here on the Sixers radio network presented 0:18:11.619 --> 0:18:13.819 by Jackpot City Casino. 0:18:15.059 --> 0:18:22.379 Is Sixers Basketball and on the Fanatic and Burlington, Philadelphia, 0:18:22.499 --> 0:18:24.459 a Beastly Media group station. 0:18:26.499 --> 0:18:29.379 All right, let's get into how this one sounded. As 0:18:29.459 --> 0:18:34.659 called by Tom McGinnis, the Sixers and the Magic in Orlando. 0:18:34.979 --> 0:18:40.499 No Maxie, no powlow. Maxie has returned to on court activities. 0:18:40.539 --> 0:18:44.259 The Sixers would start Jared McCain with Kyle Lowry, Paul George, 0:18:44.339 --> 0:18:47.899 Caleb Martin and Joel embid So. Kelly Oubrey Junior was 0:18:47.939 --> 0:18:50.579 coming off the bench in this one with the Sixers 0:18:50.579 --> 0:18:53.099 in white, the Magic in blue at home in the 0:18:53.219 --> 0:18:57.379 NBA Cup. Their specialty court is a light gray and 0:18:57.419 --> 0:19:01.779 the Sixers because Franz Wagner got off to such a 0:19:01.779 --> 0:19:05.659 good start they trailed twenty two fifteen. He's been their 0:19:05.659 --> 0:19:08.059 go to guy. More from him as this one played out. 0:19:08.059 --> 0:19:09.979 But it was Embiid's second game. And here in the 0:19:09.979 --> 0:19:12.259 first quarter, as the Sixers are trying to get back 0:19:12.299 --> 0:19:15.979 into it, the double team separated and Embiid has just 0:19:16.059 --> 0:19:18.059 Jonathan Isaac on him, who he banks it. 0:19:18.019 --> 0:19:21.139 Over Garrick Gordon. Here Joel runs at the block, goes 0:19:21.179 --> 0:19:23.899 in on Isaac. Isaac's a shot blocker. They double Embiid 0:19:24.379 --> 0:19:27.419 six to shoot. Joel goes out of the lane, backing, turning, leading, 0:19:27.539 --> 0:19:30.659 shooting on Isaac and he banked it in. Bit lucky 0:19:30.819 --> 0:19:33.819 Isaac so long, the slender center who's been injured so 0:19:33.939 --> 0:19:36.619 much out of Florida State. But a good job defensively, 0:19:36.659 --> 0:19:39.699 but it beats still made it Joel now with ten, 0:19:39.819 --> 0:19:41.259 the Sixers down by seven. 0:19:41.659 --> 0:19:44.739 Both Joel and Franz would finish the first half with 0:19:44.939 --> 0:19:49.099 sixteen points apiece. That Embiid jumper or floater in the 0:19:49.179 --> 0:19:51.499 lane off the glass. Was a you know, twenty four 0:19:51.539 --> 0:19:53.979 to seventeen game favoring the Magic. It was only a 0:19:54.019 --> 0:19:58.179 three point game after one Magic twenty four, Sixers twenty one. 0:19:58.739 --> 0:20:01.739 In the second quarter, this was the the highlight of 0:20:01.859 --> 0:20:05.019 the night for either team. It was a very good 0:20:05.299 --> 0:20:09.459 gershon Yabuselli block of Anthony Black, the second year guard 0:20:09.539 --> 0:20:12.739 for Orlando, and then the ball finds its way. Ubre 0:20:12.899 --> 0:20:15.939 saves it. Yabaselli gets it to Jared McCain on the 0:20:16.019 --> 0:20:18.859 run and forget about a layup, and. 0:20:18.859 --> 0:20:21.619 Now I'd got both to lay blocks. The sean save 0:20:21.739 --> 0:20:24.819 by Ubra. Here's McCain, he's got a breakaway. 0:20:25.019 --> 0:20:26.219 Did he jammed it? 0:20:26.459 --> 0:20:30.099 He throws it down. Jared McCain with a big time 0:20:30.259 --> 0:20:33.419 jam had the set. He's pomped up, he's going over 0:20:33.699 --> 0:20:36.619 and his teammates are knocking him around like a pinball. 0:20:37.219 --> 0:20:41.419 Six Ers four. So Magic get into a timeout. 0:20:40.539 --> 0:20:43.579 Twenty nine, twenty four. The Sixers had taken the lead 0:20:44.259 --> 0:20:47.259 early in the second quarter. They had eighteen fast break 0:20:47.299 --> 0:20:50.619 points in the first half. They finished with twenty three, 0:20:50.619 --> 0:20:52.979 which is a new season high after scoring nineteen a 0:20:52.979 --> 0:20:56.659 week ago against the Lakers. In LA twenty nine to 0:20:56.659 --> 0:20:59.579 twenty four lead after the McCain right handed hammer. Tyrese 0:20:59.659 --> 0:21:02.019 Maxey was on the TV broadcast at the time with 0:21:02.099 --> 0:21:04.499 Kate and Allah, and he was loving it. He says 0:21:04.499 --> 0:21:08.459 he's been encouraging McCain to dunk the ball more. We 0:21:08.779 --> 0:21:11.139 saw him try to go for a poster in the 0:21:11.179 --> 0:21:14.299 Knicks game, so we know that the twenty year old 0:21:14.379 --> 0:21:18.139 Jared McCain has it in him. Putting the Sixers up 0:21:18.139 --> 0:21:20.739 with that got the bench really going still. In the 0:21:20.779 --> 0:21:24.459 first half, though, Franz Wagner off a Jalen Suggs. 0:21:24.139 --> 0:21:26.779 Steal and now Uber get to run it, but they 0:21:26.939 --> 0:21:29.819 chop it away and steal it. Franz Voger going right up, 0:21:29.859 --> 0:21:32.899 inn it, beat fakes underhand, Scoop got it it, beat 0:21:32.979 --> 0:21:33.339 kind of. 0:21:33.339 --> 0:21:34.139 Baked the block. 0:21:34.179 --> 0:21:37.619 He had Jonathan Isaac behind him and Voger said, you're 0:21:37.659 --> 0:21:39.099 not gonna block, and then he laid it in with 0:21:39.099 --> 0:21:40.379 a right hand finger roll. 0:21:41.099 --> 0:21:46.139 Foger with a dozen again, sixteen of his game high 0:21:46.219 --> 0:21:50.739 thirty one before halftime, and the Magic would get within 0:21:50.779 --> 0:21:53.939 two on a Centavious Caldwell Pope three off of Franz 0:21:53.939 --> 0:21:56.979 Wagner assist at the buzzer in the first half, but 0:21:57.019 --> 0:21:59.979 it was the Sixers forty five and the Magic forty 0:22:00.059 --> 0:22:04.859 three heading into the second half after two quarters in 0:22:04.859 --> 0:22:08.939
