Speaker 1: This is seventy Sixers. Rewind time now to listen back
Speaker 1: to postgame reaction from the team's most recent game Tuesday night.
Speaker 1: Hoops at the Center and a lot of offense, plenty
Speaker 1: of defense as well. Not a pretty win, but they
Speaker 1: get it done as the Philadelphia seventy Sixers pick up
Speaker 1: win number forty three at home over the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Speaker 1: Are all This is the Sixers postgame show here on
Speaker 1: the Sixers Radio Network. I'm Divine Givens. We will check
Speaker 1: back in at the center and here from winning head
Speaker 1: coach Brett Brown. At some point we'll also dive back
Speaker 1: in with the Sixers radio voice. You heard them all
Speaker 1: game since seven o'clock. That will be toim again. Once again,
Speaker 1: not a pretty one, but of course this is what
Speaker 1: happens late in the season. YEA a common opponent. You've
Speaker 1: played them for three games at this point, very very
Speaker 1: contested games. First one for the Cleveland Cavaliers. They take
Speaker 1: the win in Philadelphia, way back win at the start
Speaker 1: of the season, handing the seventy six is one of
Speaker 1: their early losses at the Center. The Sixers then come
Speaker 1: back and get a win in December against the Cleveland
Speaker 1: Cavaliers and tonight taking the season series two one by
Speaker 1: defeating the Cleveland Cavaliers one oh six ninety nine minus
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler out due to rest and load management. And
Speaker 1: it was not easy. Seventy sixers up by double digits
Speaker 1: at some point in the game a few times, and
Speaker 1: then the Cleveland Cavaliers that simply would not go away.
Speaker 1: And you can go back as far as last night
Speaker 1: against the Toronto Raptors where they beat the Toronto Raptors.
Speaker 1: Then come to Philadelphia tonight and give them the seventy
Speaker 1: Sixers a tough game tonight. Colin Sexton was really tough
Speaker 1: also twenty six points for the Cleveland Cavaliers, but for
Speaker 1: Philadelphia seventy Sixers. Ben Simmons with twenty six points, ten rebounds,
Speaker 1: and eight assists in his thirty eight minutes of play,
Speaker 1: ten of sixteen from the floor, still getting to the
Speaker 1: free throw line and getting into a nice rhythm for
Speaker 1: your second year point guard, your all star point guard
Speaker 1: six of eight from the free throw line, having setting
Speaker 1: a nice pace for this basketball team, getting everyone involved
Speaker 1: as a five starters were in double figures, plus bobam
Speaker 1: Marijanovitch his return since the injury and the seventy six
Speaker 1: is again pick up win number forty three, still sitting
Speaker 1: at number three in the East. We do head back
Speaker 1: to the Senate right now for the winning head coach
Speaker 1: Brett Brown. Even though I'm sorry one time. We always
Speaker 1: talk about having the appropriate fear where when it comes
Speaker 1: to the games, because this wasn't the UM I think
Speaker 1: that we could have done better playing JJ and are
Speaker 1: they playing the Joel JJ handuff differently? UM? I think that, Uh.
Speaker 1: I think that there was a connection of a timing
Speaker 1: is the word that wasn't there? Uh tonight? I think
Speaker 1: in general when people physical with that and they really
Speaker 1: get into JJ right off the bat, I think that
Speaker 1: ken disrupt it. We've seen that with some of the
Speaker 1: elite defensive teams. But in that environment you're talking about
Speaker 1: D we got to do better. We got to execute better,
Speaker 1: especially in that first half. What did you see depression wise?
Speaker 1: I think anytime I see zero free throws, I go
Speaker 1: straight to a mentality and I hate it, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't like it. I think when you
Speaker 1: come in at halftime and you have fourteen turnovers and
Speaker 1: and zero free throws, you know that that's not a
Speaker 1: good uh offensive um statistic. That's not a good sign obviously.
Speaker 1: And I think that the lack of free throws for
Speaker 1: me is always about a mentality. And uh, we did
Speaker 1: a better job in the second half, but the first
Speaker 1: half was poor starting. How you felt even with that
Speaker 1: line up. I thought he did well. He was a
Speaker 1: bell ringer tonight and I thought he did well. I
Speaker 1: thought defensively he did some really good things. I thought
Speaker 1: he moved his feet well. I thought he kept the
Speaker 1: game in front of him a lot better than some
Speaker 1: of our other primitive defensive people. And he made some shots.
Speaker 1: I thought tonight he was very, very, very good, one
Speaker 1: of my best defensive players. What was your messages in
Speaker 1: the team after the game inside the locker room, Just
Speaker 1: stuff that I've just shared with you now. Defension staff
Speaker 1: and dude help with turnover issue at this point, there
Speaker 1: always is, you know, timing, execution, screen setting. Of course
Speaker 1: there would be six is head coach Brett Brown after
Speaker 1: the victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers one oh six ninety nine,
Speaker 1: he just alluded to the fact that James and it's
Speaker 1: in place of Jimmy Butler tonight in the starting lineup
Speaker 1: was the bell ring of four the seventy six or
Speaker 1: twelve points in a starting role. Six of seven from
Speaker 1: the only missed tonight was a three pointer, so all
Speaker 1: of his work came from inside. Again the activity that
Speaker 1: he displays on a nightly basis that did not stop
Speaker 1: again in the twenty two minutes that he started for
Speaker 1: the seventy Sixes tonight with the normal starting four and
Speaker 1: he gives you those six or seven from the floor,
Speaker 1: seven rebounds to assist three turnovers unfortunately for him tonight,
Speaker 1: just natural movement and getting a few more minutes with
Speaker 1: the new team. One block shot for James and it's
Speaker 1: just a nice, nice productive night for the veteran swingman
Speaker 1: acquired at the trade deadline and just earning the opportunity
Speaker 1: to be in the starting lineup with Tobias Harris, Joel
Speaker 1: and b JJ Reddick and Ben Simmons based on his
Speaker 1: play over the last week or so, where he's giving
Speaker 1: you again those solid minutes, the solid contribution off the
Speaker 1: bench for the seventy Sixes, where Brett Brown now seems
Speaker 1: to trust him a little more and understanding where to
Speaker 1: use him best in the lineup and in the rotation
Speaker 1: with his teammates and as he now starts to get
Speaker 1: everyone back due to maybe rest or injury, it's good
Speaker 1: to start to see where things will really start to
Speaker 1: fall into place. As to who head coach Brett Brown
Speaker 1: would like to use within that rotation as the playoffs near.
Speaker 1: Tobias Harris a quiet night, five of twelve from the field,
Speaker 1: one of five from deep, with eleven points and nine rebounds.
Speaker 1: Joellen beat his second game back since the All Star Break,
Speaker 1: following up a tremendous performance with thirty three points. Again.
Speaker 1: Another double double on Sunday against the Indiana Pacers gives
Speaker 1: you seventeen points and nineteen rebounds tonight. Six turnovers, so
Speaker 1: high activity again with the basketball, and just still trying
Speaker 1: to locate things and get things right. You just heard
Speaker 1: about the dribble handoff and the pitch with JJ Reddick.
Speaker 1: Just a little bit of the timing is off and
Speaker 1: tim and gets talked about it towards the end of
Speaker 1: the broadcast, and that's something that they will certainly shore
Speaker 1: up before the end of the season looking ahead to
Speaker 1: the postseason as well. He Dick knocked down three pointer
Speaker 1: tonight on his three attempts like that. Four or four
Speaker 1: from the free throw line. So again the activity just
Speaker 1: getting back working on a block and simply getting back
Speaker 1: to his normal routine of working on a block, punishing defenses,
Speaker 1: getting big men in foul trouble, and getting to the
Speaker 1: free throw line and converting those free throws. JJ Reddick
Speaker 1: getting his shooting stroke back tonight, four of seven from deep,
Speaker 1: seventeen points of fifteen from the field in thirty four
Speaker 1: minutes and fifty seconds. And we already spoke about Ben
Speaker 1: Simmons in his tremendous line twenty six points, ten rebounds,
Speaker 1: eight assists, only two turnovers in thirty seven minutes and
Speaker 1: forty seconds for the Philadelphia seventy Sixers on the other side.
Speaker 1: When we come back, we will check back in with
Speaker 1: Tom AGAINNS live from the Senate gets some final thoughts
Speaker 1: from him as the Philadelphia seventy Sixers win one oh
Speaker 1: six ninety nine over the Cleveland Cavaliers, picking up win
Speaker 1: number forty three on the season as they improved to
Speaker 1: forty three and twenty five. This is the Sixers postgame
Speaker 1: show right here on the Sixers Radio Network ninety seven five.
Speaker 1: The fanatic Sixers remain in the third place in the
Speaker 1: Eastern Conference after their victory tonight over the Cleveland Cavaliers
Speaker 1: forty three and twenty five now on the season. The
Speaker 1: Indiana Pacers also pick up a victory tonight over the
Speaker 1: New York Knicks. They remained behind the Philadelphia seventy Sixers
Speaker 1: right now in the Eastern Conference standings. The Sixers postgame
Speaker 1: show live on the Sixers Radio Network, I'm Divine Givens
Speaker 1: as we had back to the center and check in
Speaker 1: with the Sixers radio voice time again this in time
Speaker 1: when we had a chance to speak pregame. We also
Speaker 1: pointed out how the Cleveland Cavaliers, where you did have
Speaker 1: to give you the credit, took care of business last
Speaker 1: night against the Toronto Raptors, and they came in here
Speaker 1: and we wanted to make sure the seventy Sixers were
Speaker 1: on top of their game and not let the same
Speaker 1: thing happen. Well, late in the fourth, there were as
Speaker 1: much as a sixteen in the game, but late in
Speaker 1: the fourth the Cleveland Cavaliers went on an eleven old
Speaker 1: run and trying to scare the seventy Sixers, but they
Speaker 1: ultimately came away with it. Very very competitive game by
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Cavaliers, absolutely, and it shows you where the
Speaker 1: expectations are with the fans. I mean, the sixerss were
Speaker 1: totally disappointed. At one point, they were booing the team
Speaker 1: because of that right there. When in years passed a
Speaker 1: close game like this, you know you would have been
Speaker 1: excited down the stretch, but obviously bigger expectations for the
Speaker 1: fans and understandably so. But again, as sloppy as the
Speaker 1: Sixers were at times, to watch him be come back
Speaker 1: and make those plays at both ends of the floor
Speaker 1: and on multiple occasions making four straight free throws, the
Speaker 1: rebound putback dunk, and the blocks and the boards at
Speaker 1: the defensive end, and he literally helped seal the deal.
Speaker 1: And like I said, not exactly the same recipe that
Speaker 1: he put forth in terms of closing out Indiana on Sunday,
Speaker 1: but the result was the same, and that is he
Speaker 1: helped the Sixers win a game here at home, and
Speaker 1: so tremendous. And like I said, oftentimes when your team wins,
Speaker 1: but there's some glaring areas and you could kind of
Speaker 1: tell with Coach Brown post game, I would say he's
Speaker 1: very loquacious, and you know, he's really great, and tonight
Speaker 1: I would I would characterize that as slightly tight lipped.
Speaker 1: When they asked him, what are some of the things
Speaker 1: you can do, he said, basically, some of the same
Speaker 1: stuff that you can do here. And my point is sometimes,
Speaker 1: you know, when you win, that's when you can really
Speaker 1: get after your guys a little bit. Now, again, this
Speaker 1: is late in the NBA season. I'm not exactly sure
Speaker 1: how the dynamic works with this group at this time,
Speaker 1: but the turnovers is an area of concern because that
Speaker 1: that has reared itself, and that, to me, that was
Speaker 1: one of the only reasons that Cleveland was able to
Speaker 1: stay in the game. The Sixers crushed him on the glass,
Speaker 1: they shot way better throughout the entire game, and yet
Speaker 1: Cleveland was, you know, was playing with some extra possessions
Speaker 1: and they played well. They had a number of players
Speaker 1: including Sexton and Ausman and different guys that really stepped
Speaker 1: up and played for them. But in the end, a win,
Speaker 1: and you know, you have a little break in the
Speaker 1: schedule here, albeit just a couple of days before you
Speaker 1: take on Sacramento, and the Sixers have not played well
Speaker 1: against the King, so they have to take care of
Speaker 1: business in that game before going out to Milwaukee for
Speaker 1: that big game. An earlier little editorial clean up here,
Speaker 1: I said Milwaukee is here in March twentieth. I got
Speaker 1: my big games mixed up. That's Boston April. Fourth of
Speaker 1: the Sixers play the Bucks here. But obviously that'll be
Speaker 1: a big weekend game out there. But obviously more to
Speaker 1: do here Friday with the close out of this three
Speaker 1: game homestand and Tom looking at how things played out
Speaker 1: thirty seven minutes and forty seconds with Ben Simmons. We
Speaker 1: know the line tonight's fantastic. Ten of sixteen, twenty six points,
Speaker 1: ten rebounds, eight assists, and only two turnovers, one of
Speaker 1: the guys tonight not turning the ball over to the opponent.
Speaker 1: The one thing I wanted to focus on with you, though,
Speaker 1: is the improvement at the free throw line. And we
Speaker 1: see at six of eight tonight, and we've had others
Speaker 1: whereas four of six or five of seven or wherever
Speaker 1: it may be. There's something different about Ben Simmons. Have
Speaker 1: you been able to kind of lock in on what
Speaker 1: you may be able to see maybe pregame or during
Speaker 1: the game where the focus might be just a little
Speaker 1: bit different. Yeah, I don't know that it's the focus
Speaker 1: I would say, it's probably confident. So currently there's no
Speaker 1: like that I can tell. There's no difference in terms
Speaker 1: of his mechanics or anything like that. But you know,
Speaker 1: he's put in a lot of work, including all the
Speaker 1: way back in the off season, and now it's paying dividends.
Speaker 1: And Brett Brown was saying pregame, you know, if that
Speaker 1: confidence can extend to the entire game to where he's
Speaker 1: still attacking in the in the clutch, waning moments of
Speaker 1: a tight game, that's huge because when you go to
Speaker 1: the when you know you're going to get fouled and
Speaker 1: then you have the confidence to step up and make
Speaker 1: free throws. That's big for the Sixers because, let's face it,
Speaker 1: the guy can get to the rim pretty much anytime
Speaker 1: he really puts his mind to it. So that's a
Speaker 1: big thing for the Sixers. Low free throw game in total,
Speaker 1: but Simmons was very efficient and as Brett Brown noted,
Speaker 1: you know, no free throws in the first half. It's
Speaker 1: the first time in almost two years or six Ers
Speaker 1: one a half without any free throws. There were much
Speaker 1: fewer in terms of fouls in general in this game
Speaker 1: as opposed to Sunday when it seemed like every five
Speaker 1: seconds there was a whistle. Tonight that was not the case.
Speaker 1: It was a much cleaner game for both teams and
Speaker 1: a little bit more rhythm in the contest as a result.
Speaker 1: In the time again, it's Jonas Life from the Center's
Speaker 1: following Sixers win one of six ninety nine over the
Speaker 1: Cleveland Cavaliers and Tom we spoke about a lot often
Speaker 1: actually about the guards and the way that they've been
Speaker 1: able to score against the Sixers perimeter defense, something that
Speaker 1: they are certainly gonna have to tighten up a little
Speaker 1: bit as the season gets comes to a regular season
Speaker 1: comes to an ear and the postseason gets underway. Colin
Speaker 1: Sexton again twenty six points tonight, levin from Brandon Knight
Speaker 1: in thirteen from Jordan Clarkson. So one of the things
Speaker 1: that over these next few days, and with Daron Fox
Speaker 1: and Buddy Hill coming in, I'm sure the coaching staff
Speaker 1: will have a close eye on well, no doubt, And
Speaker 1: that's been honestly a difficult thing for the Sixers in
Speaker 1: terms of the Kemba Walkers and the Spencer did with
Speaker 1: Ease and D'Angelo Russells, you know where they're they're able
Speaker 1: to create and shoot from the perimeter. And tonight I
Speaker 1: think you saw James Enna step up and he's and
Speaker 1: that he can be one of those defenders. And so
Speaker 1: with Jimmy and Tobias, you know, you get the wings
Speaker 1: covered and you need, you know, that ability to stop
Speaker 1: dribble penetration from out front as well. So that's something
Speaker 1: the Sixers have kind of struggled with a little bit.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's where Ben is brilliant in terms of
Speaker 1: his size and his ability to really make a perimeter
Speaker 1: player pay when he takes it down low. But collectively,
Speaker 1: the Sixers have to be more efficient in that area.
Speaker 1: When you look at the you know, the teams and
Speaker 1: the players are going to be facing in that regard,
Speaker 1: whether it's Kyle Lowry or Malcolm Brogden or some of
Speaker 1: these other players from the perimeter that they're going to
Speaker 1: be looking to guard in the postseason or have to
Speaker 1: stop if you will. And obviously, yeah, right, those two
Speaker 1: guys from Sacramento have been really good. Buddy Hilp was
Speaker 1: brilliant against the Sixers out at sack and like I said,
Speaker 1: the one saving grace is that they'll have played on
Speaker 1: Thursday and the Sixers will have a chance to know.
Speaker 1: Rare a little break in the schedule here, and I
Speaker 1: know it's only two days, but at this stage of
Speaker 1: the season, it seems like you always play almost every
Speaker 1: other day, and to have a chance to go over
Speaker 1: this game a little bit, work on some things, get
Speaker 1: some practice time, but also be rested and ready to go.
Speaker 1: Like I said, hopefully you get Jimmy Butler back in
Speaker 1: the folding here now you would seem to be whole
Speaker 1: finally with Boban and Joel back in the mix, and
Speaker 1: really get the chance to get these guys in rhythm
Speaker 1: and sync and playing one of the other for a stretch,
Speaker 1: including the game Friday and that huge matchup out Milwaukee. Well, Tom,
Speaker 1: as you point it out, maybe not the way the
Speaker 1: fans drew it up, but they got the win nonetheless,
Speaker 1: and not a bad thing with a few days off,
Speaker 1: so they can maybe tighten up on a few things
Speaker 1: and go over some things to fix as they go forward.
Speaker 1: Tom Againnis, thanks so much. As always, we will check
Speaker 1: in with you on Friday. Lie from the center ahead
Speaker 1: of Sixers Kings. All right, thank you to have a
Speaker 1: good night time. Tom Againnis again, Lie from the center

Speaker 1: one of six ninety nine. As we get ready for
Speaker 1: some highlights of the victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers. Things
Speaker 1: got started in the first quarter with Tobias Harris getting
Speaker 1: to the basket, finishing strong for the Philadelphia seventy sixers
Speaker 1: and now the sixers by four, going left the right,
Speaker 1: Simmons out top do all barkhards him. Joel with it backdoor,
Speaker 1: took the bias and Harris with a right hand to
Speaker 1: ham started in the left corner by the Cleveland bench.
Speaker 1: Harris with the cut. Joel waited for him to come clear,
Speaker 1: set him up dunk sixers by six. Sixers up twelve
Speaker 1: to six to buyas Harris again with the finish. Ben
Speaker 1: Simmons aggressive all night, looking for his as he led
Speaker 1: the team in scoring again with twenty six points. This
Speaker 1: one right here, driving hard to the basket. Here's Ben
Speaker 1: Simmons on a drive. Don low right hand bank good
Speaker 1: driving to the left, shoots it with a right hand
Speaker 1: off the glass and then firmly off the window. Simmons
Speaker 1: four points, three rebounds, two assists, fourteen point game that
Speaker 1: made the twenty two eight sixers at that point. They
Speaker 1: finished the quarter up by twelve twenty four twelve good
Speaker 1: guys in front. In the second quarter, James Nis as
Speaker 1: we talked about showing a lot of energy, crashing the glass,
Speaker 1: getting too the basket, diving on the floor. Whatever Sixes
Speaker 1: needed tonight he gave and this one right here brought
Speaker 1: the crowd to his feet. Edis and Edis rocks the rim.
Speaker 1: Prayers back right hand slam and beat with a dishes.
Speaker 1: Third and James Edis the third rocks the rim. He's
Speaker 1: got eight and that's what you're gonna get. Constant movement
Speaker 1: from the veteran swing man again acquired via trade that
Speaker 1: made it thirty five twenty five and bat tonight. Only
Speaker 1: one time from behind the three point line did he connect,
Speaker 1: and that one is right here. Beat, you'll shoot at
Speaker 1: three and that's good. Joel with his first basket from deep,
Speaker 1: his second field goal. Time out, Cleveland and the Sixers
Speaker 1: have reopened an eight point league forty six to thirty
Speaker 1: eight at that point, at the end of two fifty
Speaker 1: three forty seven Sixers in front of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Speaker 1: JJ Reddick acquiet at seventeen points Tonight on the evening,
Speaker 1: shot well from deep, but he also got one and
Speaker 1: got fout out let the sevens out of Mike Scott.
Speaker 1: Scott hands off the Reddick off balance three bank to
Speaker 1: Dad Lucky but good and J. J. Reddick is foul.
Speaker 1: His legs splayed all over the place, his shoulders twisted,
Speaker 1: and he throws up the right handed prayer. It's good
Speaker 1: off the glass and he's foul. Sometimes you need luck,
Speaker 1: and again they got it on that particular play, getting
Speaker 1: the three making free throw sixty two fifty nine sixers.
Speaker 1: At that point, they needed that basket from JJ Reddick.
Speaker 1: Colin Sexton not going quietly on the night as the
Speaker 1: Cleveland Cavaliers surge on against the Sixers. Cleveland ball sexon
Speaker 1: on the move against Bet Simmons, stops, shoots and puts
Speaker 1: it a. Colin Sexton has come on big. He's now
Speaker 1: eight a fifteen, nineteen points. It's a two point game.
Speaker 1: Seventy four forty two was the score after Colin Sexton's
Speaker 1: basket that at the end of three eighty one seventy seven,
Speaker 1: the Sixers still with the lead over the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Speaker 1: In the fourth quarter, been Simmons again showing his aggressiveness
Speaker 1: with a strong dunk to make it ninety three eighty three.
Speaker 1: Then JJ Reddick follows up a few plays later to
Speaker 1: make it ninety six eighty six sixers. But then that's
Speaker 1: when the Cleveland Cavaliers went on an eleven old run,
Speaker 1: started with a David and wabas Steel miscommunication between Reddick
Speaker 1: and e beat on a dribble handoff, making it ninety
Speaker 1: six ninety one. Colin Sexton with the layup to give
Speaker 1: them a ninety six ninety five, a basket to make
Speaker 1: it ninety six ninety five only down one, and then
Speaker 1: Chetti Osman with the lay in to make it ninety
Speaker 1: seven ninety six to lead for the Cleveland Cavaliers, captaining
Speaker 1: an eleven old run. But then Mike Scott coming up
Speaker 1: big for the Philadelphia seventy sixers. Here's Scott another three,
Speaker 1: got it sixers lead, ninety nine ninety seven corner tray
Speaker 1: Mike Scott only a second field goal in the game,
Speaker 1: only a second field goal, only threes tonight for his
Speaker 1: two field goals for Mike Scott, and again that score
Speaker 1: at that point ninety nine ninety seven. But then Joel Ebad,
Speaker 1: as Tim again has pointed out, came up strong both
Speaker 1: defensively and offensively, put it on himself right here it
Speaker 1: beat with two men around him off ballance leader nobody,
Speaker 1: but he dumped it. Oh Man a powerful rebound put
Speaker 1: back one h two ninety nine. It was a great play,
Speaker 1: got caught right there inside the free throw line with
Speaker 1: the smaller defender on him, threw it up, missed it
Speaker 1: short off the front of the room, but timed it perfectly.
Speaker 1: You know how it always goes. The shooter always knows
Speaker 1: where the ball is going first, missed it, got it,
Speaker 1: pulled it back and finishes strong at the rim for
Speaker 1: that putback dunk right there for Joel and beat and
Speaker 1: again on the night four and beat another double double,
Speaker 1: seventeen points, nineteen rebounds, six of sixteen from the floor,
Speaker 1: that won three that we played for you earlier in
Speaker 1: the sequence right there, and his thirty four minutes and
Speaker 1: twenty two seconds on the night for Joel embad. Much
Speaker 1: needed rest for the team overall, as they have these
Speaker 1: two days off gives them time to not only hit
Speaker 1: the practice floor, but also watch some film, grow through
Speaker 1: some things, and see where they can clean up in
Speaker 1: some of their activity on the floor against the Cleveland
Speaker 1: Cavaliers tonight, and maybe even go back to a few
Speaker 1: games before to see where they need to tighten up
Speaker 1: on a few things. With so many again new pieces
Speaker 1: with this basketball team trying to familiarize themselves with one
Speaker 1: another and again very important at this stage of the
Speaker 1: year as they pick up the wind. Number forty three
Speaker 1: look to continue to build and add to their win
Speaker 1: total with their eyes still set, not looking past anyone,
Speaker 1: but their eyes set on the postseason and knowing they
Speaker 1: have to be strong against the opponents that they will face,
Speaker 1: not only in the first round, but it lucky enough
Speaker 1: to advance in the second third and who knows how
Speaker 1: far this basketball team will go. Boba Marianovic once again
Speaker 1: back in his return eleven points and five rebounds, four
Speaker 1: or five from the field in thirteen minutes and thirty
Speaker 1: eight seconds. Mike Scott with a reserve high thirty minutes
Speaker 1: and twenty nine seconds for him tonight off the bench,
Speaker 1: TJ McConnell late night for TJ in the backup role
Speaker 1: ten minutes and twenty seconds with his four points and
Speaker 1: one rebound. On the evening, Jonathan Simmons seventeen minutes and
Speaker 1: thirty one seconds, one of three from the field for
Speaker 1: his two points. And the Sixers again get back at
Speaker 1: it on Friday against the Sacramento Kings, and as they
Speaker 1: come to Philadelphia on the second night of a back
Speaker 1: to back playing on Thursday night, and the Kings took
Speaker 1: care of the Sixers earlier in the season, so revenge
Speaker 1: on the mind for the home team, no question about it.
Speaker 1: On Friday night, you've been listening to seventy Sixers Rewind.
Speaker 1: Be sure not to miss new episodes the day after
Speaker 1: each game this season, all year long.
