Rewind time now to listen back 0:00:04.040 --> 0:00:08.080 to postgame reaction from the team's most recent game Tuesday night. 0:00:08.119 --> 0:00:11.040 Hoops at the Center and a lot of offense, plenty 0:00:11.080 --> 0:00:13.880 of defense as well. Not a pretty win, but they 0:00:13.920 --> 0:00:16.400 get it done as the Philadelphia seventy Sixers pick up 0:00:16.400 --> 0:00:20.360 win number forty three at home over the Cleveland Cavaliers. 0:00:20.360 --> 0:00:22.799 Are all This is the Sixers postgame show here on 0:00:22.880 --> 0:00:25.760 the Sixers Radio Network. I'm Divine Givens. We will check 0:00:25.840 --> 0:00:28.200 back in at the center and here from winning head 0:00:28.200 --> 0:00:31.800 coach Brett Brown. At some point we'll also dive back 0:00:31.840 --> 0:00:34.400 in with the Sixers radio voice. You heard them all 0:00:34.479 --> 0:00:37.840 game since seven o'clock. That will be toim again. Once again, 0:00:38.240 --> 0:00:40.479 not a pretty one, but of course this is what 0:00:40.600 --> 0:00:43.400 happens late in the season. YEA a common opponent. You've 0:00:43.400 --> 0:00:46.720 played them for three games at this point, very very 0:00:47.080 --> 0:00:50.000 contested games. First one for the Cleveland Cavaliers. They take 0:00:50.000 --> 0:00:53.080 the win in Philadelphia, way back win at the start 0:00:53.080 --> 0:00:54.720 of the season, handing the seventy six is one of 0:00:54.760 --> 0:00:58.840 their early losses at the Center. The Sixers then come 0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:01.640 back and get a win in December against the Cleveland 0:01:01.640 --> 0:01:05.080 Cavaliers and tonight taking the season series two one by 0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:08.280 defeating the Cleveland Cavaliers one oh six ninety nine minus 0:01:08.360 --> 0:01:12.240 Jimmy Butler out due to rest and load management. And 0:01:12.440 --> 0:01:15.920 it was not easy. Seventy sixers up by double digits 0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:18.120 at some point in the game a few times, and 0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:21.000 then the Cleveland Cavaliers that simply would not go away. 0:01:21.240 --> 0:01:23.280 And you can go back as far as last night 0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:27.000 against the Toronto Raptors where they beat the Toronto Raptors. 0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:29.920 Then come to Philadelphia tonight and give them the seventy 0:01:29.959 --> 0:01:33.440 Sixers a tough game tonight. Colin Sexton was really tough 0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:36.880 also twenty six points for the Cleveland Cavaliers, but for 0:01:37.040 --> 0:01:42.360 Philadelphia seventy Sixers. Ben Simmons with twenty six points, ten rebounds, 0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:44.920 and eight assists in his thirty eight minutes of play, 0:01:44.959 --> 0:01:48.320 ten of sixteen from the floor, still getting to the 0:01:48.360 --> 0:01:51.120 free throw line and getting into a nice rhythm for 0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:53.720 your second year point guard, your all star point guard 0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:56.559 six of eight from the free throw line, having setting 0:01:56.600 --> 0:01:59.680 a nice pace for this basketball team, getting everyone involved 0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:03.360 as a five starters were in double figures, plus bobam 0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:07.800 Marijanovitch his return since the injury and the seventy six 0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:10.160 is again pick up win number forty three, still sitting 0:02:10.200 --> 0:02:12.240 at number three in the East. We do head back 0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:14.239 to the Senate right now for the winning head coach 0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:20.200 Brett Brown. Even though I'm sorry one time. We always 0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:22.400 talk about having the appropriate fear where when it comes 0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:28.639 to the games, because this wasn't the UM I think 0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:39.839 that we could have done better playing JJ and are 0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:47.880 they playing the Joel JJ handuff differently? UM? I think that, Uh. 0:02:49.120 --> 0:02:52.480 I think that there was a connection of a timing 0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:57.560 is the word that wasn't there? Uh tonight? I think 0:02:57.600 --> 0:03:01.679 in general when people physical with that and they really 0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:04.320 get into JJ right off the bat, I think that 0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:06.480 ken disrupt it. We've seen that with some of the 0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:11.000 elite defensive teams. But in that environment you're talking about 0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:13.000 D we got to do better. We got to execute better, 0:03:15.680 --> 0:03:20.360 especially in that first half. What did you see depression wise? 0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:24.280 I think anytime I see zero free throws, I go 0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:27.280 straight to a mentality and I hate it, you know, 0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:28.880 I don't. I don't like it. I think when you 0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:32.480 come in at halftime and you have fourteen turnovers and 0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:36.680 and zero free throws, you know that that's not a 0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:42.880 good uh offensive um statistic. That's not a good sign obviously. 0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:45.360 And I think that the lack of free throws for 0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:49.800 me is always about a mentality. And uh, we did 0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:51.840 a better job in the second half, but the first 0:03:51.840 --> 0:03:58.840 half was poor starting. How you felt even with that 0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:01.320 line up. I thought he did well. He was a 0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:04.080 bell ringer tonight and I thought he did well. I 0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:06.600 thought defensively he did some really good things. I thought 0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:08.400 he moved his feet well. I thought he kept the 0:04:08.440 --> 0:04:12.520 game in front of him a lot better than some 0:04:12.600 --> 0:04:17.040 of our other primitive defensive people. And he made some shots. 0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:19.800 I thought tonight he was very, very, very good, one 0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:22.800 of my best defensive players. What was your messages in 0:04:22.800 --> 0:04:27.279 the team after the game inside the locker room, Just 0:04:27.440 --> 0:04:31.880 stuff that I've just shared with you now. Defension staff 0:04:31.920 --> 0:04:36.599 and dude help with turnover issue at this point, there 0:04:36.680 --> 0:04:40.720 always is, you know, timing, execution, screen setting. Of course 0:04:40.720 --> 0:04:44.119 there would be six is head coach Brett Brown after 0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:48.800 the victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers one oh six ninety nine, 0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:51.440 he just alluded to the fact that James and it's 0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:54.560 in place of Jimmy Butler tonight in the starting lineup 0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:56.800 was the bell ring of four the seventy six or 0:04:56.880 --> 0:04:59.640 twelve points in a starting role. Six of seven from 0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:03.599 the only missed tonight was a three pointer, so all 0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:06.880 of his work came from inside. Again the activity that 0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:09.760 he displays on a nightly basis that did not stop 0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:11.880 again in the twenty two minutes that he started for 0:05:12.080 --> 0:05:15.159 the seventy Sixes tonight with the normal starting four and 0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:17.760 he gives you those six or seven from the floor, 0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:22.400 seven rebounds to assist three turnovers unfortunately for him tonight, 0:05:22.680 --> 0:05:25.320 just natural movement and getting a few more minutes with 0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:28.680 the new team. One block shot for James and it's 0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:32.360 just a nice, nice productive night for the veteran swingman 0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:37.000 acquired at the trade deadline and just earning the opportunity 0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:39.880 to be in the starting lineup with Tobias Harris, Joel 0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:42.640 and b JJ Reddick and Ben Simmons based on his 0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:45.400 play over the last week or so, where he's giving 0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:48.839 you again those solid minutes, the solid contribution off the 0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:51.919 bench for the seventy Sixes, where Brett Brown now seems 0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:54.240 to trust him a little more and understanding where to 0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:57.520 use him best in the lineup and in the rotation 0:05:57.880 --> 0:06:00.200 with his teammates and as he now starts to get 0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:05.479 everyone back due to maybe rest or injury, it's good 0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:07.599 to start to see where things will really start to 0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:10.039 fall into place. As to who head coach Brett Brown 0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:14.040 would like to use within that rotation as the playoffs near. 0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:17.720 Tobias Harris a quiet night, five of twelve from the field, 0:06:17.880 --> 0:06:21.680 one of five from deep, with eleven points and nine rebounds. 0:06:21.920 --> 0:06:25.159 Joellen beat his second game back since the All Star Break, 0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:28.440 following up a tremendous performance with thirty three points. Again. 0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:31.920 Another double double on Sunday against the Indiana Pacers gives 0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:36.159 you seventeen points and nineteen rebounds tonight. Six turnovers, so 0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:39.159 high activity again with the basketball, and just still trying 0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:41.120 to locate things and get things right. You just heard 0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:44.080 about the dribble handoff and the pitch with JJ Reddick. 0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:45.440 Just a little bit of the timing is off and 0:06:45.480 --> 0:06:47.599 tim and gets talked about it towards the end of 0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:50.640 the broadcast, and that's something that they will certainly shore 0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:53.240 up before the end of the season looking ahead to 0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:57.000 the postseason as well. He Dick knocked down three pointer 0:06:57.120 --> 0:06:59.960 tonight on his three attempts like that. Four or four 0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:02.200 from the free throw line. So again the activity just 0:07:02.279 --> 0:07:05.680 getting back working on a block and simply getting back 0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:09.960 to his normal routine of working on a block, punishing defenses, 0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:12.920 getting big men in foul trouble, and getting to the 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:15.800 free throw line and converting those free throws. JJ Reddick 0:07:16.280 --> 0:07:19.480 getting his shooting stroke back tonight, four of seven from deep, 0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:23.840 seventeen points of fifteen from the field in thirty four 0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:26.200 minutes and fifty seconds. And we already spoke about Ben 0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:29.760 Simmons in his tremendous line twenty six points, ten rebounds, 0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:34.240 eight assists, only two turnovers in thirty seven minutes and 0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:38.480 forty seconds for the Philadelphia seventy Sixers on the other side. 0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:40.240 When we come back, we will check back in with 0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:43.040 Tom AGAINNS live from the Senate gets some final thoughts 0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:46.200 from him as the Philadelphia seventy Sixers win one oh 0:07:46.240 --> 0:07:48.880 six ninety nine over the Cleveland Cavaliers, picking up win 0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:51.960 number forty three on the season as they improved to 0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:54.520 forty three and twenty five. This is the Sixers postgame 0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:58.239 show right here on the Sixers Radio Network ninety seven five. 0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:02.320 The fanatic Sixers remain in the third place in the 0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:05.960 Eastern Conference after their victory tonight over the Cleveland Cavaliers 0:08:06.360 --> 0:08:09.280 forty three and twenty five now on the season. The 0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:12.920 Indiana Pacers also pick up a victory tonight over the 0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:16.480 New York Knicks. They remained behind the Philadelphia seventy Sixers 0:08:16.560 --> 0:08:19.080 right now in the Eastern Conference standings. The Sixers postgame 0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:22.000 show live on the Sixers Radio Network, I'm Divine Givens 0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:24.840 as we had back to the center and check in 0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:27.280 with the Sixers radio voice time again this in time 0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:30.160 when we had a chance to speak pregame. We also 0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:32.600 pointed out how the Cleveland Cavaliers, where you did have 0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:35.040 to give you the credit, took care of business last 0:08:35.120 --> 0:08:37.600 night against the Toronto Raptors, and they came in here 0:08:37.600 --> 0:08:39.439 and we wanted to make sure the seventy Sixers were 0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:41.160 on top of their game and not let the same 0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:43.679 thing happen. Well, late in the fourth, there were as 0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:45.679 much as a sixteen in the game, but late in 0:08:45.720 --> 0:08:47.920 the fourth the Cleveland Cavaliers went on an eleven old 0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:50.600 run and trying to scare the seventy Sixers, but they 0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:53.640 ultimately came away with it. Very very competitive game by 0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:57.360 the Cleveland Cavaliers, absolutely, and it shows you where the 0:08:57.440 --> 0:09:00.480 expectations are with the fans. I mean, the sixerss were 0:09:00.559 --> 0:09:03.840 totally disappointed. At one point, they were booing the team 0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:07.000 because of that right there. When in years passed a 0:09:07.040 --> 0:09:09.520 close game like this, you know you would have been 0:09:09.520 --> 0:09:13.080 excited down the stretch, but obviously bigger expectations for the 0:09:13.120 --> 0:09:17.200 fans and understandably so. But again, as sloppy as the 0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:20.200 Sixers were at times, to watch him be come back 0:09:20.240 --> 0:09:22.600 and make those plays at both ends of the floor 0:09:23.080 --> 0:09:26.400 and on multiple occasions making four straight free throws, the 0:09:26.440 --> 0:09:29.960 rebound putback dunk, and the blocks and the boards at 0:09:29.960 --> 0:09:33.240 the defensive end, and he literally helped seal the deal. 0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:36.800 And like I said, not exactly the same recipe that 0:09:36.880 --> 0:09:39.760 he put forth in terms of closing out Indiana on Sunday, 0:09:39.840 --> 0:09:41.800 but the result was the same, and that is he 0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:44.880 helped the Sixers win a game here at home, and 0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:49.920 so tremendous. And like I said, oftentimes when your team wins, 0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:53.120 but there's some glaring areas and you could kind of 0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:56.480 tell with Coach Brown post game, I would say he's 0:09:56.600 --> 0:10:01.000 very loquacious, and you know, he's really great, and tonight 0:10:01.040 --> 0:10:03.680 I would I would characterize that as slightly tight lipped. 0:10:04.280 --> 0:10:05.920 When they asked him, what are some of the things 0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:07.480 you can do, he said, basically, some of the same 0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:11.319 stuff that you can do here. And my point is sometimes, 0:10:11.400 --> 0:10:13.679 you know, when you win, that's when you can really 0:10:13.960 --> 0:10:16.040 get after your guys a little bit. Now, again, this 0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:18.240 is late in the NBA season. I'm not exactly sure 0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:21.480 how the dynamic works with this group at this time, 0:10:21.960 --> 0:10:25.080 but the turnovers is an area of concern because that 0:10:25.480 --> 0:10:27.480 that has reared itself, and that, to me, that was 0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:29.839 one of the only reasons that Cleveland was able to 0:10:29.880 --> 0:10:32.160 stay in the game. The Sixers crushed him on the glass, 0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:36.080 they shot way better throughout the entire game, and yet 0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:39.600 Cleveland was, you know, was playing with some extra possessions 0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:42.560 and they played well. They had a number of players 0:10:42.559 --> 0:10:46.200 including Sexton and Ausman and different guys that really stepped 0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:48.160 up and played for them. But in the end, a win, 0:10:48.800 --> 0:10:50.840 and you know, you have a little break in the 0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:53.960 schedule here, albeit just a couple of days before you 0:10:54.040 --> 0:10:56.520 take on Sacramento, and the Sixers have not played well 0:10:56.559 --> 0:10:58.960 against the King, so they have to take care of 0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:01.840 business in that game before going out to Milwaukee for 0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:04.480 that big game. An earlier little editorial clean up here, 0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:07.480 I said Milwaukee is here in March twentieth. I got 0:11:07.480 --> 0:11:10.679 my big games mixed up. That's Boston April. Fourth of 0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:13.840 the Sixers play the Bucks here. But obviously that'll be 0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:16.800 a big weekend game out there. But obviously more to 0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:18.760 do here Friday with the close out of this three 0:11:18.760 --> 0:11:21.440 game homestand and Tom looking at how things played out 0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:23.640 thirty seven minutes and forty seconds with Ben Simmons. We 0:11:23.640 --> 0:11:27.000 know the line tonight's fantastic. Ten of sixteen, twenty six points, 0:11:27.280 --> 0:11:30.199 ten rebounds, eight assists, and only two turnovers, one of 0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:33.600 the guys tonight not turning the ball over to the opponent. 0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:35.600 The one thing I wanted to focus on with you, though, 0:11:35.720 --> 0:11:37.640 is the improvement at the free throw line. And we 0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:40.080 see at six of eight tonight, and we've had others 0:11:40.120 --> 0:11:43.320 whereas four of six or five of seven or wherever 0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:47.800 it may be. There's something different about Ben Simmons. Have 0:11:47.880 --> 0:11:49.959 you been able to kind of lock in on what 0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:52.880 you may be able to see maybe pregame or during 0:11:52.880 --> 0:11:54.680 the game where the focus might be just a little 0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:56.760 bit different. Yeah, I don't know that it's the focus 0:11:56.840 --> 0:11:59.200 I would say, it's probably confident. So currently there's no 0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:02.040 like that I can tell. There's no difference in terms 0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:04.760 of his mechanics or anything like that. But you know, 0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:08.080 he's put in a lot of work, including all the 0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:11.599 way back in the off season, and now it's paying dividends. 0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:14.280 And Brett Brown was saying pregame, you know, if that 0:12:14.360 --> 0:12:17.640 confidence can extend to the entire game to where he's 0:12:17.679 --> 0:12:21.200 still attacking in the in the clutch, waning moments of 0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:23.960 a tight game, that's huge because when you go to 0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:26.480 the when you know you're going to get fouled and 0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:28.640 then you have the confidence to step up and make 0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:31.880 free throws. That's big for the Sixers because, let's face it, 0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:34.680 the guy can get to the rim pretty much anytime 0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:37.400 he really puts his mind to it. So that's a 0:12:37.440 --> 0:12:40.200 big thing for the Sixers. Low free throw game in total, 0:12:40.679 --> 0:12:43.560 but Simmons was very efficient and as Brett Brown noted, 0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:45.880 you know, no free throws in the first half. It's 0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:48.320 the first time in almost two years or six Ers 0:12:48.400 --> 0:12:51.920 one a half without any free throws. There were much 0:12:51.960 --> 0:12:55.040 fewer in terms of fouls in general in this game 0:12:55.080 --> 0:12:57.240 as opposed to Sunday when it seemed like every five 0:12:57.280 --> 0:12:59.959 seconds there was a whistle. Tonight that was not the case. 0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:02.560 It was a much cleaner game for both teams and 0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:06.000 a little bit more rhythm in the contest as a result. 0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:08.120 In the time again, it's Jonas Life from the Center's 0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:11.360 following Sixers win one of six ninety nine over the 0:13:11.400 --> 0:13:16.000 Cleveland Cavaliers and Tom we spoke about a lot often 0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:18.800 actually about the guards and the way that they've been 0:13:18.800 --> 0:13:21.360 able to score against the Sixers perimeter defense, something that 0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:23.920 they are certainly gonna have to tighten up a little 0:13:23.920 --> 0:13:26.200 bit as the season gets comes to a regular season 0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:29.880 comes to an ear and the postseason gets underway. Colin 0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:33.600 Sexton again twenty six points tonight, levin from Brandon Knight 0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:37.040 in thirteen from Jordan Clarkson. So one of the things 0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:39.360 that over these next few days, and with Daron Fox 0:13:39.360 --> 0:13:41.720 and Buddy Hill coming in, I'm sure the coaching staff 0:13:41.760 --> 0:13:44.080 will have a close eye on well, no doubt, And 0:13:44.160 --> 0:13:47.480 that's been honestly a difficult thing for the Sixers in 0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:50.360 terms of the Kemba Walkers and the Spencer did with 0:13:50.480 --> 0:13:54.040 Ease and D'Angelo Russells, you know where they're they're able 0:13:54.080 --> 0:13:57.760 to create and shoot from the perimeter. And tonight I 0:13:57.760 --> 0:14:00.320 think you saw James Enna step up and he's and 0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:03.400 that he can be one of those defenders. And so 0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:05.760 with Jimmy and Tobias, you know, you get the wings 0:14:05.760 --> 0:14:08.680 covered and you need, you know, that ability to stop 0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:12.720 dribble penetration from out front as well. So that's something 0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:14.679 the Sixers have kind of struggled with a little bit. 0:14:14.720 --> 0:14:17.200 I mean, that's where Ben is brilliant in terms of 0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:20.720 his size and his ability to really make a perimeter 0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:24.520 player pay when he takes it down low. But collectively, 0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:27.760 the Sixers have to be more efficient in that area. 0:14:27.640 --> 0:14:29.560 When you look at the you know, the teams and 0:14:29.640 --> 0:14:32.600 the players are going to be facing in that regard, 0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:36.520 whether it's Kyle Lowry or Malcolm Brogden or some of 0:14:36.520 --> 0:14:39.880 these other players from the perimeter that they're going to 0:14:39.920 --> 0:14:42.920 be looking to guard in the postseason or have to 0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:46.760 stop if you will. And obviously, yeah, right, those two 0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:49.000 guys from Sacramento have been really good. Buddy Hilp was 0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:52.440 brilliant against the Sixers out at sack and like I said, 0:14:52.480 --> 0:14:55.040 the one saving grace is that they'll have played on 0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:57.960 Thursday and the Sixers will have a chance to know. 0:14:58.040 --> 0:14:59.680 Rare a little break in the schedule here, and I 0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:02.680 know it's only two days, but at this stage of 0:15:02.680 --> 0:15:04.800 the season, it seems like you always play almost every 0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:08.000 other day, and to have a chance to go over 0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:10.120 this game a little bit, work on some things, get 0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:12.960 some practice time, but also be rested and ready to go. 0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:15.280 Like I said, hopefully you get Jimmy Butler back in 0:15:15.360 --> 0:15:17.760 the folding here now you would seem to be whole 0:15:18.440 --> 0:15:21.320 finally with Boban and Joel back in the mix, and 0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:24.680 really get the chance to get these guys in rhythm 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:26.920 and sync and playing one of the other for a stretch, 0:15:27.360 --> 0:15:31.360 including the game Friday and that huge matchup out Milwaukee. Well, Tom, 0:15:31.360 --> 0:15:32.840 as you point it out, maybe not the way the 0:15:32.880 --> 0:15:35.800 fans drew it up, but they got the win nonetheless, 0:15:35.800 --> 0:15:37.720 and not a bad thing with a few days off, 0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:40.040 so they can maybe tighten up on a few things 0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:42.640 and go over some things to fix as they go forward. 0:15:42.680 --> 0:15:44.840 Tom Againnis, thanks so much. As always, we will check 0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:47.400 in with you on Friday. Lie from the center ahead 0:15:47.440 --> 0:15:50.680 of Sixers Kings.

Joel waited for him to come clear, 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:19.639 set him up dunk sixers by six. Sixers up twelve 0:17:19.720 --> 0:17:22.080 to six to buyas Harris again with the finish. Ben 0:17:22.119 --> 0:17:24.800 Simmons aggressive all night, looking for his as he led 0:17:24.840 --> 0:17:27.840 the team in scoring again with twenty six points. This 0:17:27.880 --> 0:17:30.880 one right here, driving hard to the basket. Here's Ben 0:17:30.880 --> 0:17:33.800 Simmons on a drive. Don low right hand bank good 0:17:34.080 --> 0:17:36.600 driving to the left, shoots it with a right hand 0:17:36.680 --> 0:17:39.840 off the glass and then firmly off the window. Simmons 0:17:40.160 --> 0:17:44.399 four points, three rebounds, two assists, fourteen point game that 0:17:44.480 --> 0:17:47.280 made the twenty two eight sixers at that point. They 0:17:47.320 --> 0:17:51.800 finished the quarter up by twelve twenty four twelve good 0:17:51.840 --> 0:17:54.800 guys in front. In the second quarter, James Nis as 0:17:54.800 --> 0:17:57.480 we talked about showing a lot of energy, crashing the glass, 0:17:57.480 --> 0:18:00.639 getting too the basket, diving on the floor. Whatever Sixes 0:18:00.720 --> 0:18:03.920 needed tonight he gave and this one right here brought 0:18:03.960 --> 0:18:07.480 the crowd to his feet. Edis and Edis rocks the rim. 0:18:07.800 --> 0:18:11.200 Prayers back right hand slam and beat with a dishes. 0:18:11.320 --> 0:18:15.440 Third and James Edis the third rocks the rim.

Constant movement 0:18:18.119 --> 0:18:21.000 from the veteran swing man again acquired via trade that 0:18:21.160 --> 0:18:24.920 made it thirty five twenty five and bat tonight. Only 0:18:25.000 --> 0:18:27.920 one time from behind the three point line did he connect, 0:18:27.920 --> 0:18:30.679 and that one is right here. Beat, you'll shoot at 0:18:30.720 --> 0:18:34.800 three and that's good. Joel with his first basket from deep, 0:18:35.280 --> 0:18:38.440 his second field goal. Time out, Cleveland and the Sixers 0:18:38.440 --> 0:18:41.760 have reopened an eight point league forty six to thirty 0:18:41.760 --> 0:18:44.440 eight at that point, at the end of two fifty 0:18:44.480 --> 0:18:48.560 three forty seven Sixers in front of the Cleveland Cavaliers. 0:18:48.640 --> 0:18:51.959 JJ Reddick acquiet at seventeen points Tonight on the evening, 0:18:51.960 --> 0:18:54.600 shot well from deep, but he also got one and 0:18:54.680 --> 0:18:57.479 got fout out let the sevens out of Mike Scott. 0:18:57.640 --> 0:19:00.600 Scott hands off the Reddick off balance three bank to 0:19:00.680 --> 0:19:05.480 Dad Lucky but good and J. J. Reddick is foul. 0:19:06.119 --> 0:19:10.320 His legs splayed all over the place, his shoulders twisted, 0:19:10.680 --> 0:19:13.720 and he throws up the right handed prayer. It's good 0:19:13.800 --> 0:19:17.800 off the glass and he's foul. Sometimes you need luck, 0:19:17.880 --> 0:19:20.520 and again they got it on that particular play, getting 0:19:20.520 --> 0:19:24.200 the three making free throw sixty two fifty nine sixers. 0:19:24.560 --> 0:19:27.119 At that point, they needed that basket from JJ Reddick. 0:19:27.160 --> 0:19:30.359 Colin Sexton not going quietly on the night as the 0:19:30.880 --> 0:19:35.320 Cleveland Cavaliers surge on against the Sixers. Cleveland ball sexon 0:19:35.400 --> 0:19:38.840 on the move against Bet Simmons, stops, shoots and puts 0:19:38.840 --> 0:19:42.320 it a. Colin Sexton has come on big. He's now 0:19:42.480 --> 0:19:46.400 eight a fifteen, nineteen points. It's a two point game. 0:19:47.080 --> 0:19:50.960 Seventy four forty two was the score after Colin Sexton's 0:19:51.280 --> 0:19:54.680 basket that at the end of three eighty one seventy seven, 0:19:54.720 --> 0:19:58.640 the Sixers still with the lead over the Cleveland Cavaliers. 0:19:58.720 --> 0:20:02.399 In the fourth quarter, been Simmons again showing his aggressiveness 0:20:02.560 --> 0:20:06.399 with a strong dunk to make it ninety three eighty three. 0:20:06.440 --> 0:20:09.080 Then JJ Reddick follows up a few plays later to 0:20:09.119 --> 0:20:12.920 make it ninety six eighty six sixers. But then that's 0:20:12.920 --> 0:20:15.640 when the Cleveland Cavaliers went on an eleven old run, 0:20:15.800 --> 0:20:20.200 started with a David and wabas Steel miscommunication between Reddick 0:20:20.240 --> 0:20:22.719 and e beat on a dribble handoff, making it ninety 0:20:22.720 --> 0:20:25.760 six ninety one. Colin Sexton with the layup to give 0:20:25.800 --> 0:20:28.720 them a ninety six ninety five, a basket to make 0:20:28.760 --> 0:20:30.760 it ninety six ninety five only down one, and then 0:20:30.800 --> 0:20:33.600 Chetti Osman with the lay in to make it ninety 0:20:33.640 --> 0:20:36.600 seven ninety six to lead for the Cleveland Cavaliers, captaining 0:20:36.600 --> 0:20:39.040 an eleven old run. But then Mike Scott coming up 0:20:39.040 --> 0:20:42.920 big for the Philadelphia seventy sixers. Here's Scott another three, 0:20:43.040 --> 0:20:47.720 got it sixers lead, ninety nine ninety seven corner tray 0:20:48.160 --> 0:20:51.080 Mike Scott only a second field goal in the game, 0:20:51.600 --> 0:20:55.359 only a second field goal, only threes tonight for his 0:20:55.400 --> 0:20:58.600 two field goals for Mike Scott, and again that score 0:20:58.640 --> 0:21:02.199 at that point ninety nine ninety seven. But then Joel Ebad, 0:21:02.200 --> 0:21:04.399 as Tim again has pointed out, came up strong both 0:21:04.440 --> 0:21:08.920 defensively and offensively, put it on himself right here it 0:21:09.119 --> 0:21:11.480 beat with two men around him off ballance leader nobody, 0:21:11.600 --> 0:21:16.000 but he dumped it.
