<v Speaker 1>surviving these Charlotte Hornets in a very physical, at times

0:00:25.320 --> 0:00:28.560
<v Speaker 1>chippy and scrappy game tonight. One oh five, one h

0:00:28.720 --> 0:00:30.960
<v Speaker 1>three the final score of Brian Seltzer with you from

0:00:31.000 --> 0:00:33.960
<v Speaker 1>the center here in South Philly. We're awaiting the arrival

0:00:34.000 --> 0:00:38.120
<v Speaker 1>at the postgame press conference podium. Seventy Sixers head coach

0:00:38.360 --> 0:00:42.000
<v Speaker 1>Brett Brown. Good one for the Sixers tonight. Why because

0:00:42.120 --> 0:00:44.320
<v Speaker 1>it was a win the mission for the team tonight.

0:00:44.360 --> 0:00:47.040
<v Speaker 1>They talked about it yesterday at practice and before the

0:00:47.080 --> 0:00:49.680
<v Speaker 1>game today. Get back to playing hard. They did it.

0:00:49.760 --> 0:00:51.760
<v Speaker 1>Not a lot of style points, but win. One oh five,

0:00:51.800 --> 0:00:55.520
<v Speaker 1>one oh three Reddick and Bade Covington big down the stretch,

0:00:55.640 --> 0:00:58.120
<v Speaker 1>Simmons more good numbers of the double double. Here's Brett

0:00:58.120 --> 0:01:01.800
<v Speaker 1>Brown right now. You know you look at it and

0:01:02.120 --> 0:01:05.880
<v Speaker 1>Kembuck ends up with thirty seven points. But what we're

0:01:05.880 --> 0:01:08.920
<v Speaker 1>looking at is is the sort of stats in the

0:01:08.959 --> 0:01:11.520
<v Speaker 1>second half, the fact that he's eleven for thirty one,

0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:14.679
<v Speaker 1>you know, three for fifteen to get those thirty seven.

0:01:14.720 --> 0:01:17.479
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was Cubbs best game of the year. Um.

0:01:17.959 --> 0:01:20.280
<v Speaker 1>I thought that that he really he ended up being

0:01:20.319 --> 0:01:23.040
<v Speaker 1>out with Bell Ringer. He had ten rebounds along with that,

0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:26.119
<v Speaker 1>had that big three to really sort of seal the game.

0:01:26.440 --> 0:01:31.160
<v Speaker 1>He was very good tonight. You see from bays right.

0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:33.199
<v Speaker 1>I think he was forcing it a little maybe around

0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:37.119
<v Speaker 1>the ring. Um. You know, I think I'm always trying

0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:40.600
<v Speaker 1>to get him to to be an attack mode, you know,

0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:44.119
<v Speaker 1>be proactive. You know, maybe tonight a few times it

0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:49.320
<v Speaker 1>was four situations, but I still, you know, like his spirit. Um,

0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:52.720
<v Speaker 1>I like his spirit, and it's it's it's putting taking

0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:55.559
<v Speaker 1>that spirit and put it in the right environment, trying

0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:58.320
<v Speaker 1>to help him find those drive in lanes and opportunities.

0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:02.320
<v Speaker 1>You know, We're always challenged him with offensive rebounds. I

0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:05.880
<v Speaker 1>think he can be incredibly elite gifted feature on other

0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:09.600
<v Speaker 1>team's scout tapes as a committed sort of offensive rebound

0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:12.120
<v Speaker 1>you he had six tonight. I thought that that was

0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:15.400
<v Speaker 1>the that was an excellent part of his game tonight.

0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:18.160
<v Speaker 1>In general, statistically you look at it wasn't one of

0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:22.880
<v Speaker 1>his better games, But I think his mindset to attack

0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:26.120
<v Speaker 1>is something that we want to encourage just in the

0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:29.399
<v Speaker 1>right environment. Right, you guys can struggle in the half

0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:31.440
<v Speaker 1>court of time, so the team, as Bill, how much

0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:33.080
<v Speaker 1>of a difference does it make for you that you

0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:36.079
<v Speaker 1>can take Ben out and he still have Marquel in

0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:38.480
<v Speaker 1>the game? You can you know, se tempo and get

0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:42.960
<v Speaker 1>you in the offense before defensive up. I think there's

0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:45.120
<v Speaker 1>truth to what you just said. And I thought Marquel,

0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:47.840
<v Speaker 1>I thought he was really good tonight, you know, pushing

0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:50.240
<v Speaker 1>the ball as you say, an open court. I thought

0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:54.880
<v Speaker 1>he had a few good fines on Joel. You know

0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:57.760
<v Speaker 1>when when we can get him in early offense in

0:02:57.880 --> 0:03:01.200
<v Speaker 1>open court and he's thinking tack the rim, get to

0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:04.080
<v Speaker 1>the paint and go there to dunk, like in the

0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:06.280
<v Speaker 1>world makes sense, instead of getting in there to like

0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:10.000
<v Speaker 1>trying to pass. I wanted him and I've told him this, like,

0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:12.720
<v Speaker 1>go like you're gonna go get fifty, Go go like

0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:16.120
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna dunk everything, and then the world will make sense.

0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:19.440
<v Speaker 1>You know, the game will speak to you preconceived notions

0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:21.359
<v Speaker 1>on where people are going to be. It doesn't work,

0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:24.960
<v Speaker 1>like put your own thumb print on on the rim,

0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:27.000
<v Speaker 1>look at the rim, get to the rim. I thought

0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:30.040
<v Speaker 1>he did that tonight. And you know he helped us.

0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:33.040
<v Speaker 1>And as you say, when we're struggling trying to find

0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:36.160
<v Speaker 1>ways to school, we lean on JJ a lot. And

0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:38.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, Joel, to his credit, came in and played,

0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:42.320
<v Speaker 1>you know played. That was that decision was up in

0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:45.360
<v Speaker 1>the air until the last minute. We needed Marquel to

0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:52.880
<v Speaker 1>do what he did. How's joel failure? Well, um, I

0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:57.040
<v Speaker 1>don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I haven't

0:03:57.200 --> 0:04:00.760
<v Speaker 1>I didn't ask, you know, like probably you know, he

0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:04.440
<v Speaker 1>ended up playing almost thirty seven minutes. That's for me,

0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:07.040
<v Speaker 1>is too much. I don't feel comfortable with that. You know,

0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:11.520
<v Speaker 1>over the long haul, if I headed again, I would

0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:13.720
<v Speaker 1>have tried to find ways to clark back. We we

0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:17.040
<v Speaker 1>we got, we got lucky at times. You know, I

0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:21.160
<v Speaker 1>give up guys credit toward the end. But you know,

0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:23.760
<v Speaker 1>JJ hit a big three, Cuve hit a big three.

0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:28.320
<v Speaker 1>Kemba had that sneaky layup over Joel at the end,

0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:31.600
<v Speaker 1>and we just needed a group. We really needed, like

0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:35.840
<v Speaker 1>a big boys to bring it home to see this

0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:38.880
<v Speaker 1>thing through. And some of the seventy Sixers. Big boys

0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:41.080
<v Speaker 1>did just that tonight, one oh five, one oh three.

0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:43.600
<v Speaker 1>The final scores. The Sixers get back to five hundred,

0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:45.360
<v Speaker 1>back at home, where they've won all three of their

0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:50.039
<v Speaker 1>games this season. Robert Covington excellent tonight. I'll say I

0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:52.880
<v Speaker 1>thought it was great, showed up when it mattered. Eighteen points,

0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:56.120
<v Speaker 1>ten rebounds, two steals, four block shots plus seven That

0:04:56.200 --> 0:04:59.359
<v Speaker 1>was a game high for the seventy Sixers. Two or

0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:03.200
<v Speaker 1>five three that at times makes you like espascially in

0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:05.840
<v Speaker 1>the game this title would have been nice to see

0:05:05.880 --> 0:05:08.000
<v Speaker 1>that line, that portion of line a little bit cleaner.

0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:11.279
<v Speaker 1>But he was really great. Really the ceiling three pointer

0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:12.919
<v Speaker 1>to make it one oh five, one on one with

0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:15.280
<v Speaker 1>under two minutes to go, and then the defensive possession

0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:18.240
<v Speaker 1>right after that he came up with a block shot.

0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:22.320
<v Speaker 1>So Covington really really good all around for the Sixers.

0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:25.680
<v Speaker 1>Joel and B twenty seven points and fourteen rebounds. He's

0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:28.280
<v Speaker 1>the first Sixer ever to start a season with six

0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:31.800
<v Speaker 1>straight twenty point ten rebound games. And the final question

0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:34.480
<v Speaker 1>that we heard Brett Brown respond to was about the

0:05:34.520 --> 0:05:37.240
<v Speaker 1>condition of Joel. He was questionable at game time decision

0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:41.719
<v Speaker 1>due to recovering from a rolled ankle at practice yesterday

0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:45.839
<v Speaker 1>in Camden. Ben Simmons fourteen points, twelve rebounds, and three assists.

0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:48.840
<v Speaker 1>He was five of twenty. However, from the field, the

0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:51.360
<v Speaker 1>Charlotte Hornets did a really nice job on him defensively,

0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:53.920
<v Speaker 1>packed the paint made life a little bit more difficult.

0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:56.719
<v Speaker 1>JJ Reddick with fifteen, a big three pointer that preceded

0:05:56.760 --> 0:05:59.680
<v Speaker 1>Covington's in the final two minutes. No doubt those two

0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:03.159
<v Speaker 1>three pointers on back to back possessions critical to getting

0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:06.919
<v Speaker 1>the seventy sixers over the hump. I thought that Dario

0:06:07.000 --> 0:06:09.080
<v Speaker 1>Shart started out well and I agree with Brett Brown.

0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:11.160
<v Speaker 1>What I really disagree with Brett Brown, but I did

0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:13.599
<v Speaker 1>feel this way as well watching and I think kind

0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:14.920
<v Speaker 1>of a lot of fans would say the same two

0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:17.560
<v Speaker 1>If you watched in file tonight's game, Mark Hill Folts,

0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:19.839
<v Speaker 1>it passed the eye texts. He was able to get

0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:22.360
<v Speaker 1>into the lane, created things done only with some very

0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:24.960
<v Speaker 1>nice scoring plays and lamps, but he was able to

0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:27.880
<v Speaker 1>generate assists and dimes off his drives into the key.

0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:31.720
<v Speaker 1>So Mark Hill Folts with ten, four rebounds and four assists.

0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:33.400
<v Speaker 1>We'll go over this a little bit more with Tom

0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:35.560
<v Speaker 1>mcginnesse is standing by and we'll get to him next.

0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:39.279
<v Speaker 1>As the postgame showing the Sixers rating at more ninety

0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:49.279
<v Speaker 1>seven five, the fanatic seventy Sixers at last thee Charlotte

0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:51.960
<v Speaker 1>Warning twenty five one oh three. Brian Seltzer with you

0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:55.359
<v Speaker 1>from Sixers dot Com down here at the center Timely

0:06:55.400 --> 0:06:58.479
<v Speaker 1>three pointers from JJ Reddick and Robert Covington in the

0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:01.520
<v Speaker 1>closing minutes helped seal the deal for a Sixers team

0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:03.520
<v Speaker 1>that was looking to get back on track. Tom McGuinness,

0:07:03.560 --> 0:07:05.800
<v Speaker 1>by playing hard, they got to win. And I think

0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:07.600
<v Speaker 1>you can make the case they certainly did play hard

0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:10.119
<v Speaker 1>to night, Oh, no doubt about it. They compete every

0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:13.880
<v Speaker 1>single night. And again, just to my point, down the

0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:17.560
<v Speaker 1>stretch up four, I believe it was one one on

0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:19.640
<v Speaker 1>one and they had three or four trips where they

0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:21.880
<v Speaker 1>could have knocked him out of the box and were

0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:24.600
<v Speaker 1>unable to do it. But as Brett Brown said, Covington

0:07:24.680 --> 0:07:27.600
<v Speaker 1>did play well overall. I mean he ended up with

0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:30.800
<v Speaker 1>I believe four steals, two blocks, ten rebounds that clutched

0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:35.000
<v Speaker 1>three eighteen points total. And it's not easy guarding Kimball Walker.

0:07:35.120 --> 0:07:38.720
<v Speaker 1>That's not a one man proposition and again through switching,

0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:40.880
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers ended up with a beat on him. They

0:07:40.880 --> 0:07:45.040
<v Speaker 1>made it difficult and he really struggled from three, had

0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:47.720
<v Speaker 1>a timely three down the stretch that made things interesting

0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:50.880
<v Speaker 1>those two free throws. But the other thing is he

0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:53.760
<v Speaker 1>was the only Hornet player to score over like a

0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:56.960
<v Speaker 1>span of ten minutes in the final quarter. So that's

0:07:57.040 --> 0:07:59.600
<v Speaker 1>good overall defense by the Sixers, and you got a

0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:02.880
<v Speaker 1>lot of good play at specific times by a bunch

0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:06.920
<v Speaker 1>of different Sixers, including Simmons and Folds and Dario and

0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:10.080
<v Speaker 1>JJ coming up with that big three down the stretch.

0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:12.920
<v Speaker 1>Mascala gave me some good minutes. So a nice win.

0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:14.960
<v Speaker 1>And you could say that the Sixers have beaten the

0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:17.320
<v Speaker 1>three teams that you would expect them to beat in

0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:19.560
<v Speaker 1>terms of beating the Magic and the Bulls here earlier

0:08:19.600 --> 0:08:21.600
<v Speaker 1>and then tonight they certainly could have won that game

0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:25.760
<v Speaker 1>on the road in overtime against Detroit, Milwaukee and Boston

0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:28.080
<v Speaker 1>not so much with how well they played. And so

0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:31.000
<v Speaker 1>you're at five hundred and as Robert Covington shared with

0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:33.720
<v Speaker 1>this post game, the Sixers are and Coach Browns talked

0:08:33.760 --> 0:08:36.880
<v Speaker 1>about post practice in recent days, they're trying to find

0:08:36.920 --> 0:08:39.360
<v Speaker 1>their rhythm, but they still were able to pull it

0:08:39.400 --> 0:08:42.199
<v Speaker 1>out here tonight. The fact that him be played when

0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:45.400
<v Speaker 1>he was questionable and then he played so well again

0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:49.840
<v Speaker 1>big numbers, points and rebounds and protecting the rim was

0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:52.559
<v Speaker 1>exemplary for the ball clip here tonight. I'll be honest,

0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:54.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm surprised looked down at the final box sheet and

0:08:54.559 --> 0:08:56.319
<v Speaker 1>see the only has two block shots. To me, it

0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:58.800
<v Speaker 1>seemed like when you saw guys driving in at that

0:08:58.960 --> 0:09:02.240
<v Speaker 1>bucket and was always there all night long. I had

0:09:02.000 --> 0:09:04.720
<v Speaker 1>a sorry, but I had a laugh when somebody said,

0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:06.600
<v Speaker 1>how's Joe doing well? First of all, the coach doesn't

0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:08.120
<v Speaker 1>go over and going how are you doing Joe? Joe?

0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:11.040
<v Speaker 1>But I gotta think his ankle soar uh, he just

0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:14.719
<v Speaker 1>played thirty seven minutes of basketball when he was a

0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:17.559
<v Speaker 1>question prior to the Game's probably sore. He probably got

0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:20.120
<v Speaker 1>an inflamed ankle right now. But that's what he is.

0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:23.160
<v Speaker 1>As Brett Brown said pregame, you know he's one of

0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:26.880
<v Speaker 1>the people. He wants to deliver for the Sixers and

0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:30.000
<v Speaker 1>for this city. And yeah, you're right, two blocks. But

0:09:30.200 --> 0:09:33.360
<v Speaker 1>in football, when when a lineman gets to the quarterback,

0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:35.840
<v Speaker 1>they call him a hurry he affected a lot of

0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:38.959
<v Speaker 1>shots in there, and you know, you see guys veering

0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:41.440
<v Speaker 1>away from the basket. Miles Bridges had some real nice

0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:44.920
<v Speaker 1>moments fourteen total three threes, but he took some shots

0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:47.920
<v Speaker 1>going away from the basket. Zeller, you know, like the

0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:50.400
<v Speaker 1>shot chart, we can't really get into it on the radio,

0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:52.920
<v Speaker 1>but you know, you look at that restricted areas, they've

0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:56.240
<v Speaker 1>already lowered the basket here, Brian Zeller did not get

0:09:56.280 --> 0:09:58.280
<v Speaker 1>to the rim like he might have gotten as Joe

0:09:58.360 --> 0:10:01.600
<v Speaker 1>would rotate back on him defense, but he would pull

0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:04.880
<v Speaker 1>up at least the dribble or two shy of the rim.

0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:07.800
<v Speaker 1>And now he's shooting, say a ten or twelve foot runner.

0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:10.720
<v Speaker 1>That's a way different shot than right at the cup.

0:10:10.720 --> 0:10:13.280
<v Speaker 1>And he's a six foot eleven player as well. And

0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:17.559
<v Speaker 1>that really speaks to Joel's defense, and that's what the Sixers,

0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:19.959
<v Speaker 1>that's what their defense is built on. You start from

0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:21.679
<v Speaker 1>the rim out and he is one of the best

0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:24.640
<v Speaker 1>rim protectors in the game. Sixers over the Hornets one

0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:26.839
<v Speaker 1>oh five, one three back at five hundred with a

0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:29.079
<v Speaker 1>record of three and three on the season. Nice to

0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:31.360
<v Speaker 1>see Robert Covington come through with a quality game for

0:10:31.400 --> 0:10:33.480
<v Speaker 1>the seventy Sixers and you alluded to him, Tom, But

0:10:34.120 --> 0:10:37.320
<v Speaker 1>for a team that has really gotten by or not

0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:40.800
<v Speaker 1>gotten by with consistent output from Joel Embid, Ben Simmons

0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:43.000
<v Speaker 1>and JJ Reddick in the first five games of the season,

0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:45.400
<v Speaker 1>good to see Dario starts have the type of game

0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:48.200
<v Speaker 1>that he did, especially in the early going. Absolutely and

0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:52.640
<v Speaker 1>made some big shots early Sixers ended up getting double

0:10:52.640 --> 0:10:55.640
<v Speaker 1>figures for the game. And you know, particularly the question

0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:58.000
<v Speaker 1>was posed to coach, sometimes you struggle in the half court,

0:10:58.280 --> 0:11:00.440
<v Speaker 1>but those are also times then when this Sixers go

0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:03.000
<v Speaker 1>to Dario, and Dario goes in there and kind of

0:11:03.040 --> 0:11:06.000
<v Speaker 1>gets a you know, a lunch pale type of opportunity

0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:08.760
<v Speaker 1>where he bangs into a Marvin Williams or whatever, and

0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:11.880
<v Speaker 1>he just does so many different things, and you know,

0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:14.079
<v Speaker 1>soon I think, you know, these guys are going to

0:11:14.120 --> 0:11:18.520
<v Speaker 1>start to play well together, find their stride and take off.

0:11:18.559 --> 0:11:20.560
<v Speaker 1>Now here we go with Atlanta coming in here there.

0:11:20.760 --> 0:11:23.320
<v Speaker 1>I think they lost tonight as they fell to the

0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:26.040
<v Speaker 1>Bulls by a dozen at home, but they you know,

0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:28.400
<v Speaker 1>they were two and two coming in. So Trey Young

0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:30.800
<v Speaker 1>it's going to be exciting to watch him play. And

0:11:30.840 --> 0:11:33.160
<v Speaker 1>then you go to Toronto and the Sixers have fared

0:11:33.160 --> 0:11:35.640
<v Speaker 1>a little bit better in reason the last couple of years,

0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:39.480
<v Speaker 1>but overall the Raptors had a mastery. They're off to

0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:42.880
<v Speaker 1>the best start in franchise history. So interesting back to

0:11:42.920 --> 0:11:45.520
<v Speaker 1>back for the Sixers Monday here against the Hawks and

0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:48.520
<v Speaker 1>Tuesday on the road in Canada. Looking forward to seeing

0:11:48.520 --> 0:11:50.760
<v Speaker 1>whether or not the seventy Sixers can maintain the momentum

0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:53.200
<v Speaker 1>they built up tonight at the start of next week.

0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:55.240
<v Speaker 1>Tom talk to you that you gotta Brian, thank you

0:11:55.679 --> 0:11:59.160
<v Speaker 1>Sixers knock off the Charlotte Hornets. One oh five hundred

0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:02.200
<v Speaker 1>three will playbacks Tom's highlight calls. On the other side,

0:12:02.400 --> 0:12:09.120
<v Speaker 1>it's the postgame show on the Sixers radio network. Seventy

0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:11.320
<v Speaker 1>Sixers back at home and it was a nice sight

0:12:11.400 --> 0:12:15.040
<v Speaker 1>to see hosting these Charlotte Hornets even better sites. A

0:12:15.200 --> 0:12:17.760
<v Speaker 1>positive outcome tonight and a needed one at that for

0:12:17.840 --> 0:12:21.079
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers. Brian Seltzer from Sixers dot Com, let's run

0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:24.200
<v Speaker 1>through some of Tom McGinnis's highlight calls from tonight. After

0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:27.880
<v Speaker 1>losing at Detroit and Milwaukee on Tuesday and Wednesday, the

0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:30.199
<v Speaker 1>Sixers looking to get back to some of their ethos,

0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:33.280
<v Speaker 1>their identity of competing with an edge toughness, playing hard

0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:35.840
<v Speaker 1>and from the outset that was clear embodied by one

0:12:35.840 --> 0:12:38.800
<v Speaker 1>of their most rugged players, Ben in the lane and

0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:41.199
<v Speaker 1>Michael kid Gilchris who just got in mister Tario with

0:12:41.200 --> 0:12:44.320
<v Speaker 1>the reboundies pushed by seller, no call, but Shark puts

0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:47.000
<v Speaker 1>it in, got pushed right in the chest in front

0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:50.840
<v Speaker 1>of Mark Davis a two hands show in a thoracic kevity,

0:12:51.000 --> 0:12:53.600
<v Speaker 1>but he did not get the call, but charge still scorted.

0:12:54.440 --> 0:12:58.200
<v Speaker 1>Very impressive anatomical breakdown by our radio man Tom McGinnis,

0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:00.880
<v Speaker 1>keeping the Sixers within two of sharp early on. The

0:13:00.920 --> 0:13:03.400
<v Speaker 1>Sixers then got over the hump with JJ Reddick doing

0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:05.760
<v Speaker 1>this thing under four minutes to go. Reddick for three

0:13:05.800 --> 0:13:08.640
<v Speaker 1>around one minute and he puts it in on Miles Bridges.

0:13:08.840 --> 0:13:12.320
<v Speaker 1>So JJ Reddick with his second three, the Sixers remained

0:13:12.400 --> 0:13:14.600
<v Speaker 1>perfect four for four. From beyond they go up by five,

0:13:14.640 --> 0:13:17.520
<v Speaker 1>their largest lead twenty four to nineteen. It would be

0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:19.520
<v Speaker 1>a four point lead in favor of the Sixers after

0:13:19.520 --> 0:13:22.160
<v Speaker 1>a quarter thirty two to twenty eight. Early on in

0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:24.439
<v Speaker 1>the second, Joel and Beat imposing as will to keep

0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:27.480
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers up by two possessions. Charlotte wouldn't go away.

0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:30.920
<v Speaker 1>Robert Covington was present three out the evening and especially

0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:34.120
<v Speaker 1>at this point midway through quarter number two. Savante Graham

0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:37.400
<v Speaker 1>Boy he throws it away, turnover and a slam coming

0:13:37.480 --> 0:13:39.880
<v Speaker 1>up by coming to the right hand a throw down

0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:44.000
<v Speaker 1>breakout after the Steel Sixers by five. Covington and Gario

0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:48.800
<v Speaker 1>each with seven the master deflector transitioning defense into offense.

0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:51.199
<v Speaker 1>He made sure not to miss on that gym. Forty six.

0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:53.520
<v Speaker 1>Forty one was the score after the dunk, and the

0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:56.440
<v Speaker 1>Sixer would have a very slender one point halftime lead

0:13:56.760 --> 0:13:59.760
<v Speaker 1>of sixty three to sixty two. Other Hornets, they were

0:13:59.800 --> 0:14:02.840
<v Speaker 1>the aggressors at the outset of the third quarter. They

0:14:02.920 --> 0:14:05.199
<v Speaker 1>jumped in front seventy one to sixty five. Jowell and

0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:07.840
<v Speaker 1>Bead helped bring the Sixers back. Ben with it down

0:14:07.840 --> 0:14:10.520
<v Speaker 1>to Joel. Joel gets to seal Walkers there he missed

0:14:10.520 --> 0:14:12.440
<v Speaker 1>it and then beat gets it back and he scores it.

0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:14.960
<v Speaker 1>The big man on the low post goes up against

0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:18.920
<v Speaker 1>Cody Zeller. Walker ran underneath good feed and on the

0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:21.760
<v Speaker 1>second chance and be puts it in sixth straight by

0:14:21.760 --> 0:14:24.320
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers. Game is tied at seventy went our second tie.

0:14:24.680 --> 0:14:27.000
<v Speaker 1>But you know with the Hornets, they kept coming through

0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:30.800
<v Speaker 1>that third quarter, they were really playing physical, aggressive, they

0:14:30.840 --> 0:14:33.440
<v Speaker 1>locked down on defense. They led eighty five eighty three

0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:36.200
<v Speaker 1>going into the fourth, and the fourth started off fortunately

0:14:36.200 --> 0:14:38.840
<v Speaker 1>for the Sixers. The Bangleique Monk on the move and

0:14:38.880 --> 0:14:41.480
<v Speaker 1>the lane is Zeller, but Fols comes over and steals it.

0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:44.800
<v Speaker 1>Sixers with numbers, false leads a break, Foals keeps it,

0:14:44.960 --> 0:14:51.440
<v Speaker 1>jams in right hand slap markl faults do really great play,

0:14:51.520 --> 0:14:53.680
<v Speaker 1>really great high energy play. At a moment when the

0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:56.720
<v Speaker 1>seventy sixers needed one that made it eighty seven eighty five,

0:14:56.840 --> 0:15:00.240
<v Speaker 1>Sixers back in front. It was niptuck into the final

0:15:00.280 --> 0:15:03.760
<v Speaker 1>minutes of the fourth quarter, JJ Reddick trying to I'm

0:15:03.880 --> 0:15:06.560
<v Speaker 1>not a ninety nine all time, Joel, will it outside

0:15:06.600 --> 0:15:08.160
<v Speaker 1>the arc? He goes to Reddick. Threefall in the year

0:15:08.200 --> 0:15:11.360
<v Speaker 1>by JJ Reddick is good. JJ Reddick knocked it down.

0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:14.560
<v Speaker 1>There's that combo again. It be the Reddick. It's the

0:15:14.640 --> 0:15:19.680
<v Speaker 1>Sixers one oh two and Charlotte ninety nine sixers down

0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:21.520
<v Speaker 1>to the three ball one more time to try and

0:15:21.560 --> 0:15:24.600
<v Speaker 1>put this game out of reach, and the Sixers lead

0:15:24.640 --> 0:15:26.920
<v Speaker 1>with a shot by coming to this up head good

0:15:27.040 --> 0:15:30.520
<v Speaker 1>Robert coming to delivers a triple along the near side,

0:15:30.520 --> 0:15:34.000
<v Speaker 1>a quick strike three after the Walker lay up, and

0:15:34.080 --> 0:15:37.880
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers increased their lead to four, and the Sixers

0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:40.280
<v Speaker 1>would end up holding on by two one oh five

0:15:40.400 --> 0:15:44.200
<v Speaker 1>to one oh three the final score, and it was

0:15:44.320 --> 0:15:47.840
<v Speaker 1>nice a good one tonight, as the Sixers got their

0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:51.400
<v Speaker 1>record back up to five hundred after suffering two losses

0:15:51.840 --> 0:15:54.800
<v Speaker 1>earlier this week. Looking at some of the final numbers,

0:15:54.840 --> 0:15:57.760
<v Speaker 1>the Hornets shot just under thirty nine percent from the field,

0:15:57.760 --> 0:16:00.160
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers at thirty eight and a half percent, six

0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:01.960
<v Speaker 1>or ten of twenty eight from outside the arc. The

0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:05.320
<v Speaker 1>Hornets were nine of thirty five sixers plus five from

0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:07.400
<v Speaker 1>the free throw line. They owned the glass. They were

0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:10.680
<v Speaker 1>plus eight and plus five in particular in terms of

0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:14.600
<v Speaker 1>offensive rebounding. Turnovers were kept down by both teams, nine

0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:17.960
<v Speaker 1>for the Hornets and eleven for the seventy sixers. Individual notes,

0:16:18.040 --> 0:16:22.000
<v Speaker 1>Kemba Walker was a tough, tough cover tonight, thirty seven points.

0:16:22.000 --> 0:16:24.640
<v Speaker 1>Not the most efficient shooting line eleven of thirty one,

0:16:24.760 --> 0:16:27.880
<v Speaker 1>three of fifteen from outside the arc, but in the

0:16:27.920 --> 0:16:31.280
<v Speaker 1>guts of the game, he certainly helped the Hornets jump

0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:33.880
<v Speaker 1>in front, and he was very very pesky getting the

0:16:33.880 --> 0:16:36.120
<v Speaker 1>free throw line, where he was twelve of fourteen for

0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:39.120
<v Speaker 1>the game. For the Sixers, all five starters and double

0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:41.840
<v Speaker 1>figures plus JJ Reddick and double digits off the bench.

0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:45.000
<v Speaker 1>Reddick had fifteen. Ben Simmons with fourteen points and twelve

0:16:45.040 --> 0:16:48.760
<v Speaker 1>rebounds for another double double. Mark El Folts with ten points,

0:16:48.880 --> 0:16:52.480
<v Speaker 1>four boards, four assists, just one turnover plus two. He

0:16:52.520 --> 0:16:54.400
<v Speaker 1>was four of nine from the field, also two of

0:16:54.440 --> 0:16:56.440
<v Speaker 1>two from the free throw line. He was good. He

0:16:56.480 --> 0:16:58.720
<v Speaker 1>was able to get in the lane penetrate and not

0:16:58.800 --> 0:17:02.080
<v Speaker 1>only score, but up his teammates as well. Joel Embiid

0:17:02.160 --> 0:17:04.679
<v Speaker 1>was questionable coming into tonight's game, no question about it.

0:17:04.760 --> 0:17:08.320
<v Speaker 1>A great box line twenty seven points, fourteen rebounds, two

0:17:08.359 --> 0:17:11.680
<v Speaker 1>block shots and two assists. Just the first Sixer ever

0:17:12.480 --> 0:17:16.439
<v Speaker 1>to record six straight twenty point ten rebound games to

0:17:16.480 --> 0:17:19.320
<v Speaker 1>begin a season. Scharge was great, especially in the first

0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:22.640
<v Speaker 1>half eleven points and seven rebounds. Robert Covington, as Brett

0:17:22.640 --> 0:17:24.920
<v Speaker 1>Brown said, if he missed the postgame press conference, the

0:17:24.960 --> 0:17:26.800
<v Speaker 1>Sixers have this tradition inside of the the locker room where

0:17:26.840 --> 0:17:30.480
<v Speaker 1>a player rings the bell. Robert Covington a deserved bell,

0:17:30.560 --> 0:17:34.960
<v Speaker 1>ringing eighteen points, ten rebounds. He had two steals, four

0:17:34.960 --> 0:17:38.320
