Speaker 1: This is the Philadelphia Has seventy Sixers postgame show. If
Speaker 1: I can walk about about Roch freeze hards, just gonna
Speaker 1: turn them. Get it off. Natty rolls the Sixers postgame
Speaker 1: show right now on ninety seven five. The Panetic due
Speaker 1: game trip down south in the Philadelphia seventy Sixes start
Speaker 1: off in Atlanta at Philips Arena and they come away
Speaker 1: with yet another w. Hello all, it's the postgame show
Speaker 1: here on the Sixers Radio Network. I'm divine givens. The
Speaker 1: Sixers again come away victorious tonight over the Atlanta Hawks
Speaker 1: in Atlanta not one O one ninety one, picking up
Speaker 1: their ninth straight win. Another big time win for the
Speaker 1: Philadelphia seventy Sixers on the road, separating themselves as things
Speaker 1: were a little bit too close for comfort early on,
Speaker 1: but the Sixers used the third quarter yet again to
Speaker 1: separate themselves big time, coming away with the win one
Speaker 1: on one ninety one. It is it's ten o'clock here
Speaker 1: in the Delaware Valley on the Sixers Radio networks. Less
Speaker 1: pause for ten seconds and allow our affiliates and ourselves
Speaker 1: to identify themselves here on the Sixers Radio network. See
Speaker 1: home for the Philadelphia seventy six Ers and the Philadelphia
Speaker 1: Flyers ninety seventy five. The fanatical WPE and Burlington philadelphodcasting
Speaker 1: from the ex Afinity studio only from Comcast. Sixers win
Speaker 1: one on one, ninety one, forty five and thirty Now
Speaker 1: on the season nine wins in a row. We're going
Speaker 1: to hear at some point outside of the visitors locker room,
Speaker 1: the winning locker room, the Philadelphia seventy Sixers head coach
Speaker 1: Brett Brown as they are victorious yet again. We head
Speaker 1: back to Philips Arena again at some point later on
Speaker 1: to check in with the Sixers radio voice. You heard
Speaker 1: him throughout the contest. Tom mcguinnis. Big time performance by
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons one more time. Thirteen points, twelve rebounds, eleven
Speaker 1: assists in twenty six minutes on six of eleven shooting
Speaker 1: for the young point guard as he picks up its
Speaker 1: eleventh triple douvil of his career, eleventh of the rookie year,
Speaker 1: now only trailing the late great Will Chamberlain for the
Speaker 1: franchise record, so it's gonna take some time to catch
Speaker 1: up to that. But a great start to a young,
Speaker 1: promising career with Ben Simmons, and you expect to see
Speaker 1: this more and more, especially with the absence of Embiad
Speaker 1: the first test for this basketball team, as we talked
Speaker 1: about this first two game road trip down south, facing
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Hawks tonight, heading to Charlotte on Sunday for
Speaker 1: an early afternoon game against the Hornets as they continue
Speaker 1: to try to keep pace in the Eastern Conference and
Speaker 1: solidify themselves with one of the home court positions in
Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference playoffs standings again tonight the Cleveland Cavaliers
Speaker 1: also in action, taken on the New Orleans Pelicans and
Speaker 1: nice battle in Cleveland as the Cavaliers only up one
Speaker 1: point on the Pelicans if they in fact lose tonight
Speaker 1: to the Pelicans. With the Sixers win, the Sixers will
Speaker 1: take oversoul possession by half a game in the Eastern
Speaker 1: Conference in third place for the playoff positioning again with
Speaker 1: Embiad out and all the substitutions that you need and
Speaker 1: the impact of others that needed to help pick up
Speaker 1: this win. Six players in double figures tonight for the
Speaker 1: Philadelphia seventy Sixers to one question, and the wonder was,
Speaker 1: how was Philadelphia Sixers head coach Brett Brown going to
Speaker 1: make the necessary adjustments and try to get things and
Speaker 1: adjust things normally for this team to maybe have a
Speaker 1: different look because of what Joe ellenb brings you with
Speaker 1: the impact both on offense and defense. Where you have
Speaker 1: it again, six players and double figures for the seventy sixers,
Speaker 1: led by former Hawk earsign Ilia Silva, who came in
Speaker 1: early and got things started. Had the hot hand in
Speaker 1: the first quarter eleven points on eight of the sixteen
Speaker 1: shooting overall, he had eleven in the first quarter. Really
Speaker 1: had it going for the Sixers against his other former team,
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Hawks. Playing twenty nine minutes and forty three seconds,
Speaker 1: and we talked about with Emir Johnson starting at the
Speaker 1: center position and Rashaun Holmes primary backup at the five
Speaker 1: spot for the Sixers, you may also see ear sign
Speaker 1: Iliasilva and Dario Charge play some of the Philadelphia seventy
Speaker 1: six to center minutes. And that's what Brett Brown decided
Speaker 1: to do throughout the night again coming away with the
Speaker 1: one on one ninety one victory. Now, let's head back
Speaker 1: to Phillips Arena outside of the visitors locker room for
Speaker 1: Brett Brown that we played good defense they had, you
Speaker 1: know what, it was eighteen points in the third period.
Speaker 1: I thought our second period we held them to fourteen points.
Speaker 1: But the third period especially let us get out and go.
Speaker 1: We wanted to really embrace the three point line. With
Speaker 1: Joel gone two of nineteen at the half, where do
Speaker 1: you tell your players and how did you leave we
Speaker 1: got that's who we are, like, if we are open,
Speaker 1: we need to shoot the ball, and well, I think
Speaker 1: we got to do a better job of offensive rebounding.
Speaker 1: That disturbed me more than two p nineteen. There are
Speaker 1: a few threes you wish you had back that were poor,
Speaker 1: quick threes, contested threes. But to have only had I
Speaker 1: think five offensive rebounds behind that poor two p nineteen percentage,
Speaker 1: that's the thing that's not acceptable. And we are going
Speaker 1: to shoot more threes. It'll come out of us, Ruxha.
Speaker 1: It'll be organized with sort of the flow of the game.
Speaker 1: But you know, to look any deeper into it, I'm
Speaker 1: not I think that that, in fact was the thing
Speaker 1: that let us jump out in the third period. When
Speaker 1: you have such a gap to fill at the five spot,
Speaker 1: how did you assess how all of the players who
Speaker 1: filled in tonight did there I thought they did a
Speaker 1: good job. You know, I look forward to seeing the
Speaker 1: tape with the rebounding. I thought, for the most part,
Speaker 1: defense was what impressed me. I thought in the fourth period,
Speaker 1: you know, it was poor. You know, we were up
Speaker 1: twenty eight points. I think they got it back down
Speaker 1: in the last score was ten ten points. That that
Speaker 1: can't happen. And I think, by and large, to fill
Speaker 1: in for Joe ellenbad is obviously a difficult task. You'll
Speaker 1: know this. You'll see that we played are Signed quite
Speaker 1: a bit at some five and I thought that Amia
Speaker 1: really you know, had zero shots and had eleven rebounds.
Speaker 1: I thought, I thought he was very good. What did
Speaker 1: you think of Urson's night of a huge game for him?
Speaker 1: I thought he was good all over the place. You know,
Speaker 1: he's coming back to a former team. I'm sure he
Speaker 1: wanted to play well. He had the opportunity to play well.
Speaker 1: We played him, you know, decent minutes. And I think
Speaker 1: him him playing out of five is a challenge for
Speaker 1: other teams. I really feel like he can cause problems
Speaker 1: defensively for them. Was with his ability to step out
Speaker 1: and stretch the floor. Sixers head coach Brett Brown. Outside
Speaker 1: of the winning locker room as the Sixes again Victoria's
Speaker 1: one on one ninety one over the Atlanta Hawks at
Speaker 1: Philips Arena in Atlanta. Now forty five and thirty on
Speaker 1: the season. We have to special thanks and credit to
Speaker 1: our great friends at NBC Sports Philadelphia for allowing us
Speaker 1: to carry that Brett Brown press conference outside of the
Speaker 1: locker room. He's speaking on the coaches, speaking on Ierson
Speaker 1: Eli Silvan, the impact that he had on the game
Speaker 1: tonight again in twenty nine minutes and forty three seconds,
Speaker 1: eight of sixteen from the floor overall, two of eight
Speaker 1: from behind the line, three or four from the free
Speaker 1: throw line, but causing problems defense as a matchup problem
Speaker 1: for Atlanta because of his stretchability, the way he's able
Speaker 1: to do things and work mid range, but also getting
Speaker 1: on the glass both offensive and defensive. And that's one
Speaker 1: area that the Philadelphia seventy sixers needed to collectively come
Speaker 1: together with the absence of Joel inbid Is to control
Speaker 1: things on the glass and ear sound. Iliasova off the
Speaker 1: bench did just that by grabbing sixteen total boards, twelve
Speaker 1: in the defensive end, four on the offensive side, So
Speaker 1: a great opportunity and a great job overall for Iliasova
Speaker 1: to come out and contribute in that way. Also not
Speaker 1: just in the scoring which he is certainly known for,
Speaker 1: also in the rebounding category. We mentioned Ben Simmons with
Speaker 1: this triple double, he notched twelve boards. Emir Johnson seventeen
Speaker 1: minutes in the starting role in place of Embid he
Speaker 1: grabbed eleven boards as well. Sixers win one, one ninety
Speaker 1: one over the Atlanta Hawks, first game of a two
Speaker 1: game trip in the South Side as they head to
Speaker 1: Charlotte on Sunday, we head back to Atlanta and Philips
Speaker 1: Arena on the other side. As we reconnect with Tom
Speaker 1: McGinnis here on the Sixers postgame show, I'm divine given
Speaker 1: six six Ers win one, one ninety one. This is
Speaker 1: the Sixers postgame show on a Sixers Radio Network one
Speaker 1: on one ninety one. That is the final from Atlanta.
Speaker 1: The Philadelphia seventy Sixers pick up another victory there, ninth
Speaker 1: in a row, forty five and thirty on the season.
Speaker 1: Currently as we speak, tied with the Cleveland Cavaliers for
Speaker 1: the number three spot in the Eastern Conference standings. The
Speaker 1: games still going on between Cleveland and New Orleans that
Speaker 1: will be decided in a little bit this evening, and
Speaker 1: of course the standings will be adjusted as such. Divine
Speaker 1: givens here on the Sixers postgame show, as we head
Speaker 1: back to Atlanta from Philips Arena, Tom McGinnis again joining
Speaker 1: us in Tom, we talked about collectively doing it together
Speaker 1: to help replace Joe ellen Beads impact on the game,
Speaker 1: because no one player can do that with such a
Speaker 1: player to the skill set in standards of Joel n b.
Speaker 1: But off the bench first quarter ear sound, Ilias Silva's
Speaker 1: stepped right in and put his footprint on the game.
Speaker 1: Well he did. He played well. He played thirty minutes.
Speaker 1: He goes eight of sixteen from the field. Of those
Speaker 1: sixteen shots, eight were threes. He made a couple, he
Speaker 1: was three or four from the nine sixteen rebounds. He
Speaker 1: had two assists and twenty one points. So he filled in,
Speaker 1: particularly on the glass where the Sixers had fifty three
Speaker 1: rebounds down atlant I had fifty nine, but the Sixers
Speaker 1: actually had fifty three in the first matchup as well,
Speaker 1: and I would think you're gonna get better shooting from
Speaker 1: both Dario and Covington. The Sixers had six threes in
Speaker 1: the third, Cove hit one, Dario had two. Those were
Speaker 1: the only two baskets of the game. For Charge, he
Speaker 1: had six points, so I think you're gonna get more
Speaker 1: from Dario obviously going forward and the mirror started. He
Speaker 1: rebounded well with eleven rebounds. He could have been I
Speaker 1: don't know this, but again he was under the weather Wednesday,
Speaker 1: so it's possible he was less than one hundred percent
Speaker 1: and only played seventeen minutes and he did not score.
Speaker 1: You're gonna get a little bit more than that from
Speaker 1: Amir Johnson offensively, so they did a good job. Or
Speaker 1: Seawan played twenty four minutes. He had seven points, three
Speaker 1: rebounds and two assists. But again standout performance by Simmons.
Speaker 1: JJ was great with nineteen and Marco Belinelli added eleven.
Speaker 1: Markuell look good. He had ten. So this is one
Speaker 1: of those games. Taking care of business, you should beat Atlanta.
Speaker 1: They're struggling, They're playing an exceedingly amount of young players,
Speaker 1: and in the third quarter the Sixers showed their medal
Speaker 1: if you will, and put them away and held on
Speaker 1: down the stretch absolutely scoring another great opportunity in the
Speaker 1: third quarter to separate themselves thirty nine to eighteen in
Speaker 1: that quarter between the second and the thirds, fifty six
Speaker 1: and thirty two advantage Sixers in that area. So they're
Speaker 1: using that again, turning it around. As we talked about
Speaker 1: it before, that used to be something we saw on
Speaker 1: the other side, and now they found a way tom
Speaker 1: out of that locker room to really learn how to
Speaker 1: set rate themselves some others well, absolutely, and not necessarily tonight,
Speaker 1: but you know, the first corner has been pretty good
Speaker 1: of late for the six Ers also, and you know,
Speaker 1: you talk about thirty nine points in the third, they
Speaker 1: only have forty seven. And the entire first half, I
Speaker 1: thought Ben just he was cruising. He was just and
Speaker 1: I don't mean taking an easy coasting. I mean cruising
Speaker 1: through the mid court and kind of picking your battles.
Speaker 1: I mean sports are fun when you win and you compete.
Speaker 1: But Ben Simmons, he looks like he's having fun during
Speaker 1: the throws of the game. I mean, when you can
Speaker 1: control and manipulate what you want to do, and I
Speaker 1: print your style of play on five other NBA basketball players,
Speaker 1: which is what he seems to be doing when he's
Speaker 1: coming down, wrapping that ball around his waist at center court,
Speaker 1: kind of cruising into the front court, picking as to
Speaker 1: what he's going to do with the ball and then
Speaker 1: making it work. That's how it appears to me. I mean,
Speaker 1: he really looks comfortable, confident, and aggressive out there. It's
Speaker 1: his skill set and his abilities all come into fruition
Speaker 1: right here in the throws of the latter part of
Speaker 1: his first NBA season. Pretty remarkable. Yeah, absolutely right, And
Speaker 1: he's the one that you're probably gonna lean on more
Speaker 1: so than anyone, even though it's a collective thing. And
Speaker 1: Joel Embiid's app since Tom again is joining us from
Speaker 1: Phillips Arena six is win one on one ninety one time.
Speaker 1: We'll get you out of here on this one. As
Speaker 1: you talk about looking comfortable. Game number three from Marquel
Speaker 1: Folks since his return, nineteen minutes for eight from the floor,
Speaker 1: ten points and again Tom no turnovers for the number
Speaker 1: one overall pick tonight. Yeah, and I think he did
Speaker 1: play a little bit more fluidly and freely, and you know,
Speaker 1: he's an incredible athlete and that's steel like toward the end,
Speaker 1: how Dwayne Deadman now, granted he's there seven foot center
Speaker 1: and he was totally not expecting Marquel, but Folts just
Speaker 1: kind of swooped in behind him and took the ball
Speaker 1: away with ease and then circled back. The game was over.
Speaker 1: But again they'd cut it down to ten. And he's
Speaker 1: just got some you know, a unique skill set, you know,
Speaker 1: a different kind of player like Swervey and the way
Speaker 1: he flew it and the way he floats down the court,
Speaker 1: I mean, and he made some jump shots, he made
Speaker 1: two free throws, and this is really valuable time for him.
Speaker 1: So you know, again like he's probably not gonna play
Speaker 1: thirty minutes. He's not in the playoffs, but if he
Speaker 1: can get his feet underneath them and over these next
Speaker 1: two weeks and you know, be in a position where
Speaker 1: he could be an impact player in the playoffs, like
Speaker 1: for limited time, which I think he can based on
Speaker 1: how it's gone so far, that's gonna be I think
Speaker 1: a tremendous asset obviously for the sixers. And the one
Speaker 1: that also stood out you described it as splitting two
Speaker 1: defenders while in the air and converting the difficult layout
Speaker 1: that was that looked like the old Marquelton when he
Speaker 1: did that. Yeah, No, he's he's a terrific talent. Great
Speaker 1: for him to be out there. And nice win for
Speaker 1: the Sixers. Not perfect by any stretch at some points
Speaker 1: in the game, but they, like I said, they took
Speaker 1: care of business and they've won nine in a row.
Speaker 1: And like you said, Penning, the come to that Cleveland
Speaker 1: game still right in the thick of things in terms
Speaker 1: of a home court advantage and possibly even moving up
Speaker 1: to the three spot. And it all shapes up for
Speaker 1: what will be an exciting matchup next Friday at the
Speaker 1: Center when the King and the Calves come to Philadelphia
Speaker 1: on April six, no question about it. Well, Tom, you
Speaker 1: have a safe trip to Charlotte and we'll speak to
Speaker 1: you on Sunday afternoon. Good night, COmON, Thank you, goodnight Tom.
Speaker 1: Thanks Tom McGinnis again live from Philips Arena as the
Speaker 1: Sixers come away with another w nine in a row,
Speaker 1: one on one ninety one over the Atlanta Hawks on
Speaker 1: the other side. You just heard the man himself. We'll
Speaker 1: get to some of the highlights from the game, called
Speaker 1: by Tom McGinnis. Sixers win one, one ninety one. This
Speaker 1: is the Sixes postgame show right here on the Sixes
Speaker 1: Radio Network. The hottest team in the NBA. Pardon me
Speaker 1: in the Eastern Conference, that would be You're Philadelphia seventy
Speaker 1: six is winners of nine straight for your home team,
Speaker 1: as they are nine and one in their last ten,
Speaker 1: latest being of course, tonight beating the Atlanta Hawks in
Speaker 1: Atlanta one O one ninety one, improving to forty five
Speaker 1: and thirty on the season, seven games remaining, and they
Speaker 1: are in the playoff push. Here for positioning at this
Speaker 1: stage of the season, I'm Devine Givens. This is the
Speaker 1: postgame show and we get ready to head to the highlights.
Speaker 1: As things got started in the first quarter, Sixes got
Speaker 1: off to an early lead, back and forth in the
Speaker 1: Atlanta Hawks decided they wanted to make a push. But
Speaker 1: as Tom Againn has pointed out, making a statement on
Speaker 1: how the pace of this game will be played, is
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons six Is Baul McConnell across mid court to Simmons,
Speaker 1: Ben charge by stop that amount of Ben Simmons right
Speaker 1: out beach trade, slap the ball, time out hard. What
Speaker 1: do you got cooked? Fot five straight points for your
Speaker 1: starting point guard Ben Simmons. That made it fourteen to
Speaker 1: twelve after that fast break dunk Damian Lee of course
Speaker 1: from Drexon University, also went to Louisville in his college career.
Speaker 1: He then made a layup to make it eighteen sixteen.
Speaker 1: Earson Ilias Silvia came in off the bench and he
Speaker 1: started off high, then whether on the backdown looking for Irson.
Speaker 1: Iliosolvia gets the screen launches of three, and that's good.
Speaker 1: That's the first triple of the mink by the sixers.
Speaker 1: Simmons already five assists nineteen eighteen sixers at that point.
Speaker 1: After Iliasilvia's three, Ben Simmons getting into the mix of
Speaker 1: a little more with a fadeaway jumper to make it
Speaker 1: twenty three twenty two. Markulle Folks inserted makes his impact
Speaker 1: immediately with the layup thirty to twenty seven. That was
Speaker 1: the score at the end of the first quarter. Iliasilvia tonight,
Speaker 1: as we pointed out, twenty one points. Eleven of those
Speaker 1: came in the first right out of the gate. Again,
Speaker 1: Markulle Folks made it thirty to twenty seven. He did
Speaker 1: not stop there when he got into the open floor.
Speaker 1: In the second here's Marquel knocking away. Now Folts on
Speaker 1: the runout faults in the Malankos up for jam and
Speaker 1: he Dumstaball. Markl Foat slams it with a forty and
Speaker 1: the crowd is bussy, very encouraging to see get into
Speaker 1: the open floor takes some of that body contact finished
Speaker 1: strong at the room. Thirty two twenty nine six is
Speaker 1: a lighter quarter as it was, as they were only
Speaker 1: seventeen points put up by the Sixers fourteen by the
Speaker 1: Hawks at the end of two forty seven forty one.
Speaker 1: But in the third quarter, as has been the case
Speaker 1: as of late fourth to Sixers, they really started to
Speaker 1: put it on Dario Scharz. A quiet night, but a
Speaker 1: much needed bucket here to start things off. Sixes need
Speaker 1: eight substantial run to kind of jump start this second half.
Speaker 1: Here's Covington faking the three to the corner Dario. He
Speaker 1: gets a shot off and that's good charge with his
Speaker 1: first field goal in the game, and that they did.
Speaker 1: They went on a nice thirteen to two run Ben Simmons.
Speaker 1: Then he gets a steal in the dunk to make
Speaker 1: it sixty to forty six. Robert Covington also a little
Speaker 1: quieter night for the Sixers swing player sixty seven forty
Speaker 1: four after he made three pointer Ben Simmons. We know
Speaker 1: about the triple deuvil, his eleventh of the season. Here's
Speaker 1: where he converted that last point, that last assist to
Speaker 1: Rashaun Holmes Simmons with another rebound, his twelve dead behind
Speaker 1: his back at mid court. Simp's no look pastor for Shaw.
Speaker 1: Triple doubble for sevens. There's your rookie of the year.
Speaker 1: A slam by Rashawn very under control all night, only
Speaker 1: twenty six minutes and thirty seconds to put up the
Speaker 1: thirteen points, twelve rebounds and eleven assists, only two turnovers
Speaker 1: after so much ball handling on the evening. After that play,
Speaker 1: it made his sixty nine to fifty one. JJ Reddicks
Speaker 1: jumper towards the end of the third quarter made eighty
Speaker 1: six to fifty nine. Again. That was the score after
Speaker 1: three into the fourth, the game pretty much in hand
Speaker 1: after the six is posted thirty nine points in the
Speaker 1: third frame. Mark hell folks getting those extended minutes that
Speaker 1: Tom and I talked about. Here is something encouraging from
Speaker 1: a jumper from folks. Mark heel folks hanging the scoring
Speaker 1: the field goal. He feels like he could get to
Speaker 1: any spot on the floor he desires with that dribble
Speaker 1: he's four for six and all, by the way, that
Speaker 1: was a beautiful jump shot. Ten points on the night
Speaker 1: four your number one overall pick. Again, Tom pointed out
Speaker 1: nineteen minutes of eight from the floor for his ten
Speaker 1: points triple threat. He understands that he can get to
Speaker 1: anywhere on the floor and get the basket at that
Speaker 1: he likes. And again that one right there just shows
Speaker 1: that gradually easing himself back into the Marquelle folks that
Speaker 1: made him the first overall selection in twenty seventeen NBA Draft.
Speaker 1: In this past June one, ninety six Ers win tonight
Speaker 1: forty five and thirty now on the season, currently sitting
Speaker 1: in the fourth spot again as the Cleveland Cavaliers do
Speaker 1: in fact beat the New Orleans Pelicans one oh seven,
Speaker 1: one h two, so they are now forty six and
Speaker 1: thirty on the season. For the Cleveland Cavaliers and Sixers
Speaker 1: are now forty five and thirty obviously again half a
Speaker 1: game back behind the third spot. Cleveland Cavaliers making a
Speaker 1: big matchup next Friday at the Center a week from tonight,
Speaker 1: as the Sixers and the Cavaliers will in fact face
Speaker 1: off next week and sure that will probably have playoff
Speaker 1: positioning at that point of the season. Next Friday, again
Speaker 1: back at the center, So deeper dive into the box score,
Speaker 1: we look at the turnover battle as the Sixers pretty
Speaker 1: good tonight, fifteen turnovers only resulting in eleven points for
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Hawks eleven seventeen turnovers for the Atlanta Hawks,
Speaker 1: seventeen points for the Sixers off of those. Again, the
Speaker 1: advantage on the glass tonight Atlanta fifty nine, Sixers fifty three,
Speaker 1: So as good as they were on the glass, the
Speaker 1: Sixers Atlanta with the advantage tonight. But the one thing
Speaker 1: we do point out pretty much every postgame show, the
Speaker 1: assist and the field goal makes. Thirty four assists on
Speaker 1: forty two mate baskets. So they continue to do what
Speaker 1: they've done all season long, which is shared the basketball,
Speaker 1: get each other easier shots. And again that's what they
Speaker 1: did tonight, thirty four assists on forty two makes for
Speaker 1: the Piladelphia seventy six is Robert Covington ten points on
Speaker 1: the evening, the quiet night shooting saying for Dario Schartz
Speaker 1: for six points on two of ten. So you expect
Speaker 1: them to bounce back, possibly on Sunday against the Charlotte Horners.
Speaker 1: No points former Johnson, but did give you some good
Speaker 1: defense and eleven rebounds in this his seventeen minutes of action.
Speaker 1: JJ Reddick really got it going in the third quarter,
Speaker 1: totally nineteen points on the evening for the veteran sharpshooter,
Speaker 1: and again Ben Simmons a triple double thirteen points, twelve rebounds,
Speaker 1: eleven assist, his eleventh of his career off the bench
Speaker 1: where you're looking at Marco Belinelli fourteen shot attempts, the
Speaker 1: second most on the evening, five or fourteen overall for
Speaker 1: eleven points, ten points for Mark hell Folks as we mentioned,
Speaker 1: twenty one and sixteen rebounds for Earson, Ilia Silva's solid
Speaker 1: contribution for the former Atlanta Hawk. Four points for t J.
Speaker 1: McConnell in fourteen minutes, two of three from the floor,
Speaker 1: So a solid bench effort overall for the Sixers. They
Speaker 1: needed it. With no one bad tonight, no Mayor Johnson
Speaker 1: point production and a quiet night from both charge and
Speaker 1: in Bad totally sixteen points combined, they needed the effort
Speaker 1: that they got from the bench tonight, especially against the
Speaker 1: team like Atlanta where you should win this game, as
Speaker 1: they did. Biggest lead of the night, twenty eight points.
Speaker 1: The Hawks tried to surge late, but a little too
Speaker 1: late for the Atlanta Hawks as things were pretty much
Speaker 1: in the bag for the Philadelphia seventy Sixers, coming away
Speaker 1: with the win one on one ninety one, their ninth
Speaker 1: in a row, forty fifth on the season, seven games remaining.
Speaker 1: Next up on his two game trip down south, the
Speaker 1: Charlotte Hornets. One o'clock tip in Charlotte against Kimball Walker,
Speaker 1: Dwight Howard and the Charlotte Hornets. Sell out crowd in
Speaker 1: Atlanta for the Sixers and Hawks tonight. A lot of
Speaker 1: people to think here back at the studio, starting with
Speaker 1: Jay Gray, the great engineer here as always, Alan Yates
Speaker 1: for doing what he does with the audio highlights. And
Speaker 1: back in Atlanta at Philips Arena, Tom McGinnis. We will
Speaker 1: be back on Sunday, one o'clock tip in Charlotte Sixers
Speaker 1: Hornets again, another opportunity, the fourth and final matchup for
Speaker 1: this team. It's almost like this is their own playoff series,
Speaker 1: having played three times in the month of March and
Speaker 1: one to start off the month of April. So we
Speaker 1: will talk to you on Sunday again as the Sixers
Speaker 1: traveled to Charlotte to face the Hornets. If you're listening
Speaker 1: on ninety seven five to the fanatic, I will stay
Speaker 1: on with you. We will carry you until midnight. Taking

Speaker 1: but again another solid one as you should pick up
Speaker 1: this w even with them without embed a necessary win tonight,
Speaker 1: winning your ninth straight hottest team in the Eastern Conference.
Speaker 1: So we will come back on Sunday Sixers Hornets for
Speaker 1: another matchup one o'clock tip, but different start times. Will

Speaker 1: for Sixer's Hornets on Sunday four. Alan Yates, Jay Gray,
Speaker 1: Tom McGinnis. I am divine givens. This has been the
Speaker 1: Sixers postgame show on the Sixers Radio Network following the ship.

Speaker 1: with one of the players afterwards. And I believe we're
Speaker 1: gonna be joined not courtside, but in a tunnel leading
Speaker 1: to the locker room by Arson ilosel Erson. Tom McGinnis,
Speaker 1: thank you for stopping by. Nice victory for you guys.
Speaker 1: Tight first half, but that third quarter was you you
Speaker 1: had a great game, Ben was good your thoughts after
Speaker 1: this one tonight. I mean, we knew we have to
Speaker 1: come up strong, obviously with an offense with the joy
Speaker 1: and bad and you know we we we knew we're
Speaker 1: gonna be struggling to be defensive and offense for you.
Speaker 1: That's why we have to, you know, come up. Everybody
Speaker 1: have to be ready. I think that the whole bench,
Speaker 1: you know, contributing the right way. Obviously when you play
Speaker 1: you know, team against like that, you know they obviously
Speaker 1: they have nothing to lose. Uh, It's why we have to,
Speaker 1: you know, kind of come up when we can teach
Speaker 1: them strung. Ben just walked by it. He makes it
Speaker 1: look easy. Simmons, at times, does any of your son, No,
Speaker 1: He's amazing and obviously this is by one of the
Speaker 1: strengths you know in the open court. Let's try to
Speaker 1: you know, operate him and then try to give him
Speaker 1: on space and you're rebounding was terrific. What was up
Speaker 1: with that tonight? I think it's all about the energy,
Speaker 1: you know, like I said, you know, the joys all
Speaker 1: we have to everybody have will come off, you know,
Speaker 1: bringing something to the table, all right. I think you know,
Speaker 1: just help you in my team mask, get offensive and
Speaker 1: defensive rebounds. Last thought here said, and we thank you
