WEBVTT - The BroadCast: 01/20/2018 - Rewind vs. Bucks

0:00:00.560 --> 0:00:03.560
<v Speaker 1>Key Eastern Conference went for the seventy six ers over

0:00:03.600 --> 0:00:06.400
<v Speaker 1>the Bucks one sixteen ninety four. Bryant Seltzer with you

0:00:06.519 --> 0:00:08.760
<v Speaker 1>from six or dot com. Let's join in progress right

0:00:08.800 --> 0:00:11.400
<v Speaker 1>now the wedding head coach Brett Brown needs to be

0:00:11.480 --> 0:00:14.080
<v Speaker 1>with that filter we need to be and our good

0:00:14.120 --> 0:00:18.480
<v Speaker 1>defensive program looking to be great what you're saw from

0:00:18.520 --> 0:00:21.680
<v Speaker 1>TV and good stat line. But I think the statue,

0:00:22.720 --> 0:00:26.360
<v Speaker 1>I just think that he he's one of these players

0:00:26.480 --> 0:00:29.360
<v Speaker 1>that continue to work. He's there on the bench. He

0:00:29.480 --> 0:00:32.640
<v Speaker 1>really hasn't had that much opportunity. You know, in Boston,

0:00:32.680 --> 0:00:34.640
<v Speaker 1>I yanked him quick, I thought he was down, and

0:00:34.760 --> 0:00:37.159
<v Speaker 1>I didn't really go back to him. And that's the

0:00:37.240 --> 0:00:39.560
<v Speaker 1>life of a young player, and it's it's hard to

0:00:39.720 --> 0:00:42.720
<v Speaker 1>find a rhythm, and it's always the holy grail of

0:00:42.800 --> 0:00:45.880
<v Speaker 1>any player, let alone a young player, to find NBA

0:00:46.040 --> 0:00:50.479
<v Speaker 1>minutes and find consistent NBA minutes and really then get

0:00:50.560 --> 0:00:54.000
<v Speaker 1>in a rotation. That's the easiest way to show this

0:00:54.200 --> 0:00:56.959
<v Speaker 1>is who I am. And he hasn't had that yet.

0:00:57.000 --> 0:01:00.120
<v Speaker 1>He still remains positive, he still works, and tonight with

0:01:00.200 --> 0:01:03.240
<v Speaker 1>the demise of JJ and UH and Jared Bayless, you

0:01:03.320 --> 0:01:06.400
<v Speaker 1>know that here he is and the kid responded, like

0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:10.399
<v Speaker 1>he attacked the rim, he made threes. He is one

0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:14.160
<v Speaker 1>of our best athletes on the team, and he's fearless

0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:17.040
<v Speaker 1>and I think just from a human standpoint, to see

0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:21.320
<v Speaker 1>him get rewarded after him stay staying positive and with

0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:26.040
<v Speaker 1>the team. Um, that's a feel good story tonight. L

0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:28.960
<v Speaker 1>doing health wise after the game, because I mean he

0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:31.880
<v Speaker 1>took a few knocks. One on the hand, yeah, there's

0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:34.960
<v Speaker 1>one in that fourth quarter. I believe it's his left leg. Yeah,

0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:38.400
<v Speaker 1>on the end one yeah yeah, So as he are

0:01:38.520 --> 0:01:41.400
<v Speaker 1>right at the tier knowledge, to my knowledge, he is.

0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:44.440
<v Speaker 1>And it's like you can see, you know, you get

0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:47.280
<v Speaker 1>as a coach, you get try to handle this thing

0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:50.080
<v Speaker 1>with responsibly, but you're also greed. You look at a cluck.

0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:51.680
<v Speaker 1>But when do we get him out? Like, okay, game,

0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:56.760
<v Speaker 1>let's get him out. Um. Some of it was borne

0:01:56.760 --> 0:01:58.760
<v Speaker 1>out of that, like you're watching him hold his hand

0:01:58.840 --> 0:02:02.760
<v Speaker 1>to like being a little bit nervous withholding it looked

0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:05.760
<v Speaker 1>like his left ankle. But to my knowledge, he seems

0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:09.400
<v Speaker 1>fine and we'll learn to more Tomorrow. We'll look forward

0:02:09.400 --> 0:02:12.280
<v Speaker 1>to getting on the plane and heading down to Memphis.

0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:17.560
<v Speaker 1>Big weekend in South Philadelphia begins in style earlier today

0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:21.919
<v Speaker 1>matinee on the ice check in the evening hoops in

0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:26.519
<v Speaker 1>the round ball check tomorrow to be determined, but a

0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:29.720
<v Speaker 1>nice way to start a big weekend down here at

0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:32.520
<v Speaker 1>the Sports Complex. Seventy Sixers. This was an important win

0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:36.040
<v Speaker 1>over the Milwaukee Bucks one sixteen ninety four. Not going

0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:39.560
<v Speaker 1>to overdramatize where things stand forty two games into the season,

0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:42.720
<v Speaker 1>but the Sixers were very much cognizanto. The Bucks enter

0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:45.359
<v Speaker 1>tonight a half game in front of them in the standings,

0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:48.320
<v Speaker 1>because by the way Brett Brown showed them the standings

0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:50.560
<v Speaker 1>recently to give them a look at what the lay

0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:53.040
<v Speaker 1>of the land was like in the East. Seventy Sixers

0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:56.320
<v Speaker 1>answered without Jared Balls and JJ Reddick. The Bucks didn't

0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:58.919
<v Speaker 1>have Jannis out of Coupo or Malcolm Brogden. But you

0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:01.800
<v Speaker 1>know what, you're at home, you're lined up for an

0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:04.680
<v Speaker 1>opportunity to take one against a quality team, and that's

0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:07.480
<v Speaker 1>what the seventy Sixers did with balance. They survived the

0:03:07.600 --> 0:03:10.000
<v Speaker 1>ten turnovers in the third quarter, and they had a

0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:13.200
<v Speaker 1>big finish. After the Bucks closed within two points in

0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:16.160
<v Speaker 1>the opening minutes of the fourth quarter, the Sixers outscored

0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:21.960
<v Speaker 1>Milwaukee by thirty two to twelve the rest of the way.

0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:26.040
<v Speaker 1>Not a bad way for the Sixers to work their

0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:29.120
<v Speaker 1>way through the end of the game. Twenty nine points

0:03:29.160 --> 0:03:31.040
<v Speaker 1>for Juell and b to go with nine rebounds. He

0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:35.000
<v Speaker 1>had two block shots as well. Sixteen apiece for Ben Simmons.

0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:37.800
<v Speaker 1>He flirted with a triple double with eight rebounds and

0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:41.120
<v Speaker 1>nine assists. Sixteen points for Timo day lewild Cabro We

0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:43.800
<v Speaker 1>heard Brett Brown talk about him in the post game,

0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:47.360
<v Speaker 1>eleven for t J McConnell off the bench, thirteen apiece

0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:51.600
<v Speaker 1>for Robert Covington and Dario charch As. The Sixers find

0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:54.680
<v Speaker 1>their way with a big finish to one sixteen ninety

0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:56.720
<v Speaker 1>four win. They're now in sixth place, a half game

0:03:56.760 --> 0:03:59.480
<v Speaker 1>in front of Milwaukee in the standings in the East.

0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:02.840
<v Speaker 1>McGinnis is standing by. We're gonna be hearing from him

0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:06.440
<v Speaker 1>and his postgame highlights as well. That's all coming up

0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:15.200
<v Speaker 1>on the postgame showing the Sixers rating Network. Important opportunity

0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:18.520
<v Speaker 1>for the seventy Sixers on Saturday night here at the Center,

0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:22.479
<v Speaker 1>and they responded to one sixteen ninety four victory over

0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:25.960
<v Speaker 1>the visiting Milwaukee Bucks. Before the Sixers head into a

0:04:26.160 --> 0:04:29.280
<v Speaker 1>road heavy stretch of the schedule. Brian Selta with you

0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:33.520
<v Speaker 1>from Sixers dot Com, rejoined now by Tom McGinnis and Tom.

0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:37.360
<v Speaker 1>It was a really, for the most part, encouraging first half.

0:04:37.440 --> 0:04:39.920
<v Speaker 1>The Sixers were in control between periods one and two.

0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:43.280
<v Speaker 1>Little flurry late in the second by the Bucks. Third

0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:46.600
<v Speaker 1>quarter Sixers seemed to gain some initial control and then

0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:49.960
<v Speaker 1>the ten turnovers, but that was a nice finish by

0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:53.000
<v Speaker 1>Joel Embiide and the surrounding cast. Really in the fourth

0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:55.680
<v Speaker 1>quarter absolutely so. As we said during the course of

0:04:55.760 --> 0:04:57.680
<v Speaker 1>the game, they kind of had to win this one twice,

0:04:58.120 --> 0:05:00.400
<v Speaker 1>but they're able to do it. And it hasn't been

0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:03.080
<v Speaker 1>textbook perfect in some of these games, but they did

0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:05.880
<v Speaker 1>it against Toronto, they did it on the road Thursday

0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:08.480
<v Speaker 1>in Boston, and they did it again here tonight. And

0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:13.520
<v Speaker 1>great performance by Embiid and really solid contributions from different

0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:16.240
<v Speaker 1>guys at different times, including Lua who had his best

0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:19.920
<v Speaker 1>game here this season. T J McConnell was brilliant at times,

0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:23.960
<v Speaker 1>Dario was terrific with the passing seven assists in total,

0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:25.960
<v Speaker 1>a lot of which came early. Dario didn't have a

0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:29.520
<v Speaker 1>field goal until the third quarter, and Simmons had some

0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:32.840
<v Speaker 1>spectacular plays around the basket, as Brett Brown noted during

0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:36.760
<v Speaker 1>his postgame press conference, a big dunk by Ben and Simmons.

0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:40.200
<v Speaker 1>Even if sometimes he misses the shot or somebody else's

0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:43.160
<v Speaker 1>misses one, he's so big and he's so athletic and

0:05:43.240 --> 0:05:46.160
<v Speaker 1>agile around the basket, he can really punctuate a possession

0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:49.080
<v Speaker 1>with a big time slam. So a nice team victory here,

0:05:49.400 --> 0:05:52.560
<v Speaker 1>albeit they didn't have a Denna Coompo. But again, as

0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:55.640
<v Speaker 1>you say, against the conference rival, gaining a whole game

0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:58.840
<v Speaker 1>on Milwaukee, and the Sixers continue their forward momentum with

0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:01.120
<v Speaker 1>how they've played with all the last three weeks. Nice

0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:03.200
<v Speaker 1>win here tonight. I think of that stretch in which

0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:06.680
<v Speaker 1>these Sixers outscored the Bucks by twenty after Milwaukee made

0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:09.320
<v Speaker 1>in a two point game, Trevor Booker had a big

0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:12.280
<v Speaker 1>basket for an and one. T J McConnell, Robert Covington,

0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:15.680
<v Speaker 1>lewhil Cabro As you said, and there's nights win ebid.

0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:18.120
<v Speaker 1>He's gonna more often than not put up big numbers,

0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:20.920
<v Speaker 1>but sometimes there's a little bit more weight behind them.

0:06:20.960 --> 0:06:22.720
<v Speaker 1>In tonight, at the end of that third quarter, he

0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:25.680
<v Speaker 1>was when the Sixers desperately needed a spark of energy

0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:28.040
<v Speaker 1>and the game got tied up. He was there with

0:06:28.240 --> 0:06:31.080
<v Speaker 1>the two and ones, a Duncan and the big block

0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:34.320
<v Speaker 1>on Eric Bledsoe. There's things that I think get Joel

0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:37.640
<v Speaker 1>fired up. And they put plumbly on him. A younger

0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:41.160
<v Speaker 1>big guy Maker came out on him. Henson really was

0:06:41.279 --> 0:06:45.040
<v Speaker 1>no match for Joe. So certain things occur and then

0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:49.160
<v Speaker 1>he gets like re fired up, remotivated and realizes the

0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:52.279
<v Speaker 1>team needs him, and he did. He had some big plays,

0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:55.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean, and he's scoring in chunks throughout the course

0:06:55.839 --> 0:06:58.440
<v Speaker 1>of the game, and it's it's much needed. There's obviously

0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:00.640
<v Speaker 1>going to be times where he ruggle in the half

0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:02.800
<v Speaker 1>court to get going offensively, and to have a guy

0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:06.400
<v Speaker 1>that can pick you up and get some easy baskets

0:07:06.760 --> 0:07:09.600
<v Speaker 1>makes it that's that much easier. And he was solid

0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:12.600
<v Speaker 1>throughout tonight for the Sixers seventy sixers over the Bucks

0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:15.600
<v Speaker 1>one sixteen to ninety four seventy six ers. Tom This

0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:19.320
<v Speaker 1>has been well documented, have had via ESPN dot com

0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:23.040
<v Speaker 1>Strength of Schedule rating system the number one most difficult

0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:26.000
<v Speaker 1>schedule in the NBA. On paper, they're gonna be taking

0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:30.160
<v Speaker 1>on teams in the coming weeks with lesser records than theirs.

0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:32.360
<v Speaker 1>But man, if their goal is to be a playoff team,

0:07:32.400 --> 0:07:35.480
<v Speaker 1>these last five games in particular against Eastern Conference teams

0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:37.440
<v Speaker 1>that at the time to tip off we're ahead of

0:07:37.480 --> 0:07:40.400
<v Speaker 1>them four and one, that's not too bad, no, And

0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:42.520
<v Speaker 1>they've done well and they've proven that they can now

0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:44.360
<v Speaker 1>beat and for their own knowledge as well, I mean

0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:45.960
<v Speaker 1>not just for the standings, but to be able to

0:07:46.000 --> 0:07:48.360
<v Speaker 1>beat Toronto, and to be able to eat Boston, to

0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:51.120
<v Speaker 1>be able to beat Milwaukee. But and maybe that schedule

0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:53.000
<v Speaker 1>is going to break a little bit in February where

0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:55.040
<v Speaker 1>they'll be home for much of that month and of

0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:57.440
<v Speaker 1>course the All Star break. But I see road game

0:07:57.480 --> 0:08:01.120
<v Speaker 1>at Memphis, road game against San Antonio. The Sixers haven't

0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:04.120
<v Speaker 1>won there since the Truman administration. They go to Oklahoma,

0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:06.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean that's been a difficult place as well, and

0:08:06.760 --> 0:08:09.360
<v Speaker 1>then they go to Milwaukee. So you know, I get

0:08:09.400 --> 0:08:11.280
<v Speaker 1>it with the schedule, and there's no doubt because we've

0:08:11.400 --> 0:08:13.760
<v Speaker 1>lived it in terms of traveling on the road with

0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:17.600
<v Speaker 1>this team and going and seeing the top notch opposition

0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:22.440
<v Speaker 1>that they've faced. So hopefully it'll continue, as you say,

0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:24.920
<v Speaker 1>it'll ease up a little bit, and it appears as

0:08:24.960 --> 0:08:27.320
<v Speaker 1>though it will do that and the games are going

0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:29.720
<v Speaker 1>to be spaced out a little bit, so Joel, you know,

0:08:29.960 --> 0:08:32.560
<v Speaker 1>health provided will be able to get into a rhythm

0:08:32.600 --> 0:08:35.520
<v Speaker 1>as it continues to do so. But the bottom line is,

0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:38.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, they're trending well, they're playing well, they're picking

0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:41.119
<v Speaker 1>up victories. They still have some hiccups with the turnovers,

0:08:41.480 --> 0:08:43.920
<v Speaker 1>but able to get past that. And they just got

0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:47.199
<v Speaker 1>to keep plowing ahead and not looking or assuming or

0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:50.960
<v Speaker 1>taking anything for granted. I mean, Milwaukee without its best

0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:53.079
<v Speaker 1>player here tonight ended up putting up a fight for

0:08:53.280 --> 0:08:56.160
<v Speaker 1>a much of the game, and you just can't assume anything.

0:08:56.200 --> 0:08:58.520
<v Speaker 1>You got to kind of look at yourself as a

0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:01.160
<v Speaker 1>group and know that you're you're doing the best that

0:09:01.240 --> 0:09:03.400
<v Speaker 1>you can and trying to shore up those areas. And

0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:05.600
<v Speaker 1>that's what Brett Brown and the coaching staff have been

0:09:05.679 --> 0:09:08.640
<v Speaker 1>focusing on, and that's what the Sixers will do going forward,

0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:11.839
<v Speaker 1>whether the schedules easier or harder. They got to just

0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:15.920
<v Speaker 1>and I thought tonight really established beginning to establish a

0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:19.240
<v Speaker 1>home court. Advantage of crowd certainly is going to help them.

0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:21.440
<v Speaker 1>They're now a game over five hundred here at home,

0:09:21.640 --> 0:09:23.760
<v Speaker 1>Finishing five hundred on the road is part of the

0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:26.200
<v Speaker 1>formula of making the playoffs. But you've got to win

0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:28.880
<v Speaker 1>closer to seventy seventy five percent of your home games

0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:32.199
<v Speaker 1>to get upwards of forty plus victories and to try

0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:34.439
<v Speaker 1>to get yourself in a position amongst the top eight.

0:09:34.840 --> 0:09:37.800
<v Speaker 1>Important one for the Sixers Tonight one sixteen ninety four

0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:41.720
<v Speaker 1>over Milwaukee. Tom mcguinnis talk to you from Beal Street

0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:45.280
<v Speaker 1>on Monday nights. Thank you, Brian, good night. Seventy Sixers

0:09:45.320 --> 0:09:49.640
<v Speaker 1>get a balanced effort on a shorthanded nights for both

0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:53.400
<v Speaker 1>teams themselves and the Milwaukee Bucks. They fend off a

0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:56.000
<v Speaker 1>run by Milwaukee in the second half and close things

0:09:56.040 --> 0:09:58.120
<v Speaker 1>out strong in the fourth quarter. We will get into

0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:01.280
<v Speaker 1>that in further detail coming up on the other side,

0:10:01.280 --> 0:10:04.800
<v Speaker 1>and we play back sometimes. Highlight calls is the postgame

0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:13.240
<v Speaker 1>showing the Sixers rate a network. Seventy Sixers wrapping up

0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:16.719
<v Speaker 1>a stretch of five consecutive games against teams that at

0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:19.200
<v Speaker 1>the time of tip off were ranked ahead of them

0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:24.400
<v Speaker 1>in the Eastern Conference standings. The Milwaukee Bucks in town tonight,

0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:26.960
<v Speaker 1>Brian Seltzer with you on the postgame show. Is here

0:10:27.080 --> 0:10:29.360
<v Speaker 1>is how it sounded courtesy of the one and only

0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:33.920
<v Speaker 1>Tom McGinnis. Sixers got off to an encouraging start tonight,

0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:38.520
<v Speaker 1>racing app to a fourteen to six lead. Timotey Lewile Cabrough,

0:10:38.960 --> 0:10:41.360
<v Speaker 1>making a second start of the season, cap that stretch

0:10:41.679 --> 0:10:43.960
<v Speaker 1>with a two point of The Bucks would battle back

0:10:44.040 --> 0:10:46.760
<v Speaker 1>and close to within a possession in the final moments

0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:49.920
<v Speaker 1>of the first quarter. TJ McConnell with a positive punctuation

0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:52.719
<v Speaker 1>period number one. Here's TJ after two, three those and

0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:55.200
<v Speaker 1>he blows by him in McConnell of the lap. TJ

0:10:55.480 --> 0:11:00.320
<v Speaker 1>McConnell goes from zero to twenty in three seconds. Here's

0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:02.880
<v Speaker 1>Delavadova over and beat at the half court stripe. Why

0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:06.560
<v Speaker 1>double half? The Sixers lead by eight. I'm totally familiar

0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:09.080
<v Speaker 1>with how this thing works with the kids these days.

0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:11.920
<v Speaker 1>But that Jeff with Spider Man pointing at Spider Man.

0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:16.719
<v Speaker 1>You see McConnell and Delavadova. It's like that embodied on

0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:20.600
<v Speaker 1>the hardwood. Well, anyhow, McConnell got the best of Delavadova

0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:23.680
<v Speaker 1>in that sequence to make it thirty seven to twenty

0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:27.280
<v Speaker 1>nine going into the second. The Sixers got some good

0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:31.280
<v Speaker 1>things from Joel Embad with time winding down and period

0:11:31.400 --> 0:11:35.079
<v Speaker 1>number two two free throws for Plumbly, He's made all

0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:37.880
<v Speaker 1>four of his attempts. He guards a Bead to twelve

0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:40.360
<v Speaker 1>to go Joel down, low up and undermoved by a

0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:43.360
<v Speaker 1>beat and he powers it right back and scores it

0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:46.520
<v Speaker 1>in Bead makes it sixty one forty eight. He's got

0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:51.040
<v Speaker 1>eighteen in the first half, but the Milwaukee Bucks would

0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:54.800
<v Speaker 1>whittle things away and draw within six points of the

0:11:55.200 --> 0:11:59.160
<v Speaker 1>seventy Sixers by the score of sixty one to fifty

0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:02.640
<v Speaker 1>five going into the halftime break. But things started really

0:12:02.679 --> 0:12:05.240
<v Speaker 1>well for the Sixers in the beginning of the third.

0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:08.640
<v Speaker 1>Dario Schartz got himself going in terms of scoring after

0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:11.719
<v Speaker 1>handing out six assists in the first half, but the

0:12:11.840 --> 0:12:15.960
<v Speaker 1>Milwaukee Bucks strung together nine straight after the seventy Sixers

0:12:16.000 --> 0:12:19.280
<v Speaker 1>went up by eleven, so the Sixers had the Bucks

0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:21.640
<v Speaker 1>on their heels. Milwaukee would tie it on a thon

0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:25.240
<v Speaker 1>Maker basket at seventy five, and then the Sixers got

0:12:25.280 --> 0:12:27.800
<v Speaker 1>an answer from Ben Simmons and Bead with a rip

0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:30.160
<v Speaker 1>through move and now they dribbled out top against Baker

0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:32.920
<v Speaker 1>picks it up. He goes to Simmons, Simmons off the

0:12:32.960 --> 0:12:34.840
<v Speaker 1>Abe screen double they with the right hand lamp up

0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:36.760
<v Speaker 1>and good. He turns the corner and puts it in

0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:41.080
<v Speaker 1>Ben Simmons now the four double figure scorer for the Sixers.

0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:44.880
<v Speaker 1>Simmons in particular had a lot of success getting behind

0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:48.520
<v Speaker 1>the defense, the interior defense of the Milwaukee Bucks tonight,

0:12:48.920 --> 0:12:51.360
<v Speaker 1>as was the case in NAT highlight right there. Then

0:12:51.480 --> 0:12:54.240
<v Speaker 1>Joel Embad rose to the occasion to close out the

0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:57.760
<v Speaker 1>third quarter. One twelve to go. Third quarter, McConnell in

0:12:57.840 --> 0:13:00.720
<v Speaker 1>the lane, somebody's got to shoot that ball and beat

0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:03.280
<v Speaker 1>fakes it two to shoot, dominate off bounce. But then

0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:08.200
<v Speaker 1>Joe Ellenbad racing dominating the nick of time. He's shooting

0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:11.120
<v Speaker 1>a free throw for his twenty fifth point of the game,

0:13:11.800 --> 0:13:13.640
<v Speaker 1>and he made the free throw to make it eighty

0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:16.200
<v Speaker 1>four to eighty going into the fourth Joel Ebad score

0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:18.640
<v Speaker 1>the final seven is six or points to close out

0:13:18.679 --> 0:13:21.679
<v Speaker 1>the thirty at a big block on Eric Bledsoe during

0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:23.840
<v Speaker 1>that stretch of the game as well, very much said

0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:26.079
<v Speaker 1>of the tone. But the Bucks made it eighty four

0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:29.599
<v Speaker 1>eighty two minutes in to the fourth quarter. That is

0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:33.280
<v Speaker 1>when the Sixers went on a game changing a tear.

0:13:33.440 --> 0:13:37.400
<v Speaker 1>They would score the next thirteen points to open things up.

0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:41.800
<v Speaker 1>Milwaukee sliced the deficit to eight, and then the Sixers

0:13:41.840 --> 0:13:44.439
<v Speaker 1>would put this thing away. Here Simmons on a drive.

0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:49.480
<v Speaker 1>Simmons with a jam. Ben Simmons first free and bangs

0:13:49.520 --> 0:13:52.199
<v Speaker 1>home a right hand jab bus through the Bucks. He's

0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:54.880
<v Speaker 1>got fourteen where there are times when he makes it

0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:59.240
<v Speaker 1>looks unbelievably easy and put the Sixers up by fourteen,

0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:03.719
<v Speaker 1>one h three to eighty nine. TJ McConnell closing the

0:14:03.800 --> 0:14:07.880
<v Speaker 1>curtain on Milwaukee, shars right perimeter for three and that's

0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:10.840
<v Speaker 1>good five straight for the Sixers out of the time

0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:14.480
<v Speaker 1>out and the leaders one oh six eighty nine. TLC

0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:17.840
<v Speaker 1>with the dish. Here's TJ with a knockaway but steal,

0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:21.360
<v Speaker 1>he drives it at scares it at Milwaukee takes time

0:14:21.720 --> 0:14:26.080
<v Speaker 1>the seventy Sixers up one oh eight eighty nine. It

0:14:26.280 --> 0:14:29.120
<v Speaker 1>was a furious run with just under five minutes to go.

0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:31.880
<v Speaker 1>As we mentioned earlier, the Sixers out scoring the Bucks

0:14:32.000 --> 0:14:35.360
<v Speaker 1>thirty two to twelve over the final eleven minutes of

0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:38.440
<v Speaker 1>regulation on the way to their seventh win in their

0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:41.560
<v Speaker 1>last eight games. Final notes from the final stat sheet.

0:14:41.640 --> 0:14:45.160
<v Speaker 1>The Sixers shot fifty three percent from the field, Milwaukee

0:14:45.320 --> 0:14:48.200
<v Speaker 1>just over forty percent, six or ten of twenty five

0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:51.400
<v Speaker 1>outside the arcs slightly more efficient than Milwaukee, which was

0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:54.320
<v Speaker 1>ten of thirty two six or sixteen to nineteen from

0:14:54.320 --> 0:14:56.520
<v Speaker 1>the foul line. The Bucks were eighteen of twenty two

0:14:56.960 --> 0:15:02.160
<v Speaker 1>sixers plus eight bigger pardon, ten on the glass, and

0:15:02.600 --> 0:15:06.320
<v Speaker 1>plus three in terms of offensive rebounds as well turnovers.

0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:09.200
<v Speaker 1>The Sixers only had three in the first half, committed

0:15:09.240 --> 0:15:13.120
<v Speaker 1>ten in the third quarter. Survived that very balanced all

0:15:13.280 --> 0:15:17.200
<v Speaker 1>throughout the scoring sheet tonight, as six players finished in

0:15:17.320 --> 0:15:19.960
<v Speaker 1>double digits. Joel and bed leaving the way eleven of

0:15:20.080 --> 0:15:22.720
<v Speaker 1>nineteen from the field, two of five outside the arc,

0:15:22.840 --> 0:15:25.280
<v Speaker 1>five of six from the free throw line for twenty

0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:28.320
<v Speaker 1>nine points. He had nine rebounds as well sixteen apiece

0:15:28.400 --> 0:15:32.280
<v Speaker 1>for Ben Simmons and Timotey Leile Cabo Leio Cabrero, stepping

0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:34.440
<v Speaker 1>up in his second start of the season. Simmons and

0:15:34.520 --> 0:15:37.840
<v Speaker 1>hear triple double. He also had eight rebounds and nine dimes,

0:15:38.240 --> 0:15:41.040
<v Speaker 1>thirteen apiece for Dario Shart, who had seven assists two

0:15:41.480 --> 0:15:45.240
<v Speaker 1>Robert Covington plus twenty eight in the game with thirteen points,

0:15:45.320 --> 0:15:48.680
<v Speaker 1>five boards, three dimes. TJ McConnell big off the bench

0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:50.880
<v Speaker 1>with eleven points five to ten from the field. He

0:15:51.000 --> 0:15:54.720
<v Speaker 1>had seven assists and two steals plus twelve for t

0:15:54.920 --> 0:15:58.240
<v Speaker 1>J McConnell. Sixers dominated the paint, out scoring the Bucks

0:15:58.320 --> 0:16:01.960
<v Speaker 1>there sixty two thirty two on a night in which

0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:04.440
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers were without JJ Redick and Jared Billis and

0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:10.000
<v Speaker 1>the Bucks were down Jannis Anacopo and Malcolm Brogden three ties,

0:16:10.120 --> 0:16:12.480
<v Speaker 1>two lead changes in a two hour, nine minute game

0:16:12.560 --> 0:16:16.440
<v Speaker 1>tonight sellout crowd of twenty thousand, eight hundred twenty six

0:16:16.560 --> 0:16:19.480
<v Speaker 1>down here at the Center where the spirits of good

0:16:19.600 --> 0:16:24.040
<v Speaker 1>fortune was alive in South Philadelphia. And absolutely you hope

0:16:24.080 --> 0:16:28.800
<v Speaker 1>that extends into tomorrow and around this time, fingers crossed,

0:16:28.880 --> 0:16:31.640
<v Speaker 1>all will be well and right in the Delaware Valley,

0:16:32.320 --> 0:16:34.320
<v Speaker 1>all right. Next up for the seventy six Ers a

<v Speaker 1>Monday night meeting with the Memphis Grizzlies alone stop on

<v Speaker 1>Beal Street this season. Game time is eight o'clock Eastern.

0:16:41.880 --> 0:16:44.480
<v Speaker 1>We will get underway with a pregame show at seven

0:16:44.680 --> 0:16:47.560
<v Speaker 1>fifty on some of our Sixers rated network affiliates. Following

0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:49.920
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers win, Tom McGinnis had a chance to catch

0:16:50.000 --> 0:16:52.520
<v Speaker 1>up with one of the players afterwards, and I believe

0:16:52.560 --> 0:16:57.880
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna be joint courtside by t J McConnell. TJ,

0:16:58.080 --> 0:17:01.000
<v Speaker 1>thank you for joining us. Tom McGuinness, you guys came

0:17:01.040 --> 0:17:02.960
<v Speaker 1>out of that time out. You got a big steel

0:17:03.040 --> 0:17:05.639
<v Speaker 1>part of a seven old run and that in the

0:17:05.840 --> 0:17:09.399
<v Speaker 1>end was what put Milwaukee away for good. Clutch stretch

0:17:09.520 --> 0:17:11.159
<v Speaker 1>for you guys down the stretch and you had a

0:17:11.240 --> 0:17:16.000
<v Speaker 1>big hand in it. Your thoughts on that, Yeah, we

0:17:16.160 --> 0:17:19.920
<v Speaker 1>just continue to persevere even though we gave up another lead.

0:17:21.600 --> 0:17:24.639
<v Speaker 1>You know, at least we're ahead. Yeah, that's the positive thing,

0:17:24.720 --> 0:17:28.040
<v Speaker 1>and just to continue into fight and giving something that

0:17:28.119 --> 0:17:31.000
<v Speaker 1>these fans cheer for. It's they deserve it. You're really

0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:33.399
<v Speaker 1>beginning out again. You're just a game over five hundred

0:17:33.400 --> 0:17:36.000
<v Speaker 1>at home, but you're really beginning to establish a home

0:17:36.080 --> 0:17:39.639
<v Speaker 1>court advantage. Sellout crowds. You guys inspire the crowd, they

0:17:39.680 --> 0:17:42.080
<v Speaker 1>in turn pour it back, and that's what you're looking

0:17:42.119 --> 0:17:44.720
<v Speaker 1>for if you hope to be a competitive playoff team

0:17:44.760 --> 0:17:47.399
<v Speaker 1>where playing in Philadelphia is a very difficult thing for

0:17:47.440 --> 0:17:50.760
<v Speaker 1>the opposition. Yeah. Absolutely, m I continue to say it.

0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:53.200
<v Speaker 1>I think we have the best home court advantage in

0:17:53.200 --> 0:17:56.399
<v Speaker 1>the NBA. This place is sold out every night and

0:17:57.119 --> 0:17:59.200
<v Speaker 1>they're behind us all the way, and we love them

0:17:59.520 --> 0:18:02.320
<v Speaker 1>with that in mind, because basketball is hard. I mean,

0:18:02.359 --> 0:18:05.560
<v Speaker 1>you play hard, gritty, tough. But when, for example, you

0:18:05.720 --> 0:18:08.600
<v Speaker 1>made that play and you turned and you have twenty

0:18:08.800 --> 0:18:12.600
<v Speaker 1>thousand people responding to you, what is that? That must

0:18:12.640 --> 0:18:15.480
<v Speaker 1>be joy in a basketball sense. It gives you chills,

0:18:15.520 --> 0:18:17.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, every time you think about it. Um, they're

0:18:17.880 --> 0:18:22.399
<v Speaker 1>incredible people and incredible fans, and you know the way

0:18:22.440 --> 0:18:25.080
<v Speaker 1>they get behind us. Like I said, I don't think

0:18:25.080 --> 0:18:28.199
<v Speaker 1>there's a crowd like it. Well, thank you very much, congratulations,
