WEBVTT - The BroadCast: 3/6/2019 ~ Rewind vs. Bulls 0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:04.000 This is seventy Sixers rewind time now to listen back 0:00:04.040 --> 0:00:08.399 to postgame reaction from the team's most recent game. On 0:00:08.440 --> 0:00:10.520 the second night of a back to back to Philadelphia, 0:00:10.560 --> 0:00:13.640 seventy Sixers look to get a win in Chicago after 0:00:13.680 --> 0:00:19.560 beating Orlando at home in Philadelphia on Tuesday, but unfortunately 0:00:19.720 --> 0:00:23.920 to night in Chicago. While entertaining and a drama written, 0:00:24.360 --> 0:00:27.880 the Sixers fall tonight one O eight, one oh seven 0:00:27.960 --> 0:00:30.440 in a weird game. Hello all, welcome to the Sixers 0:00:30.440 --> 0:00:33.479 postgame show right here on the Sixers Radio Network. I'm 0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:36.720 divine givens. Sixers fall again one O eight, one oh 0:00:36.800 --> 0:00:40.440 seven on one of the weirdest calls plays if you will, 0:00:40.920 --> 0:00:45.400 ever seen in basketball, specifically in Sixer's history and archuably 0:00:45.400 --> 0:00:49.080 an NBA history, where Zach Levine makes a basket to 0:00:49.120 --> 0:00:52.320 put the Chicago Bulls up by one one oh seven 0:00:52.360 --> 0:00:54.600 with five tenths of the second left on the clock. 0:00:54.680 --> 0:00:58.080 Sixers called time out after a miss free throw by Levine, 0:00:58.360 --> 0:01:01.120 get the ball back right around and have court get 0:01:01.160 --> 0:01:03.319 ready to inbound the past Ben Simmons with a live 0:01:03.440 --> 0:01:07.800 to the rim to Jimmy Butler. Unfortunately for the Chicago Bulls, 0:01:07.800 --> 0:01:14.160 though the team, the team, the team just simply the 0:01:14.240 --> 0:01:17.480 operations team simply started the clock before they should have. 0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:21.319 And therefore the seventy six has had another opportunity having 0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:23.840 to leave the locker room and come back out on 0:01:23.880 --> 0:01:26.360 the floor. Some players look to have their jerseys off 0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:29.679 and some of their accessories as part of their uniform, 0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:33.959 and let's go, let's go to Brett. Well, let's get 0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:36.280 ready to go to the coach. Coach Brett Brown. Outside 0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:37.960 the visiting locker room, it was only being able to 0:01:37.959 --> 0:01:40.520 play about four games together so far going down the 0:01:40.520 --> 0:01:43.240 stretch here you talked about only having seventeen games left 0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:46.880 in the season. For you, the importance of getting that's 0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:49.760 starting five back out in jail together before the playoffs started. 0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:53.320 I mean, it's crucial, you know, when when we all 0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:55.960 when we all step back and you look at the league, 0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:59.480 you look at just common sense sport like teams should 0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:02.360 have done with each other for the season. It would 0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:04.000 all be quite naive to think that I don't have 0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:06.680 a starting point that's a little bit further along than ours. 0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:09.720 And so, as I admitted at the start of this, 0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:12.520 before this game and my pre press and the pregame press, 0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:17.280 you know you're cramming, and uh, we'll be cramming even 0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:21.840 more getting Joel back. Um. But the good news is 0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:25.800 we got a lot of firepower to work with. Um. 0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:28.280 The bad news is is time is not on our side. 0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:31.880 And uh, if you had your druthers, I'll take what 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:34.480 we have. And you know, I trust, I trust the 0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:37.800 locker room. They they're the good people. They genuinely care 0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:41.680 and uh, you know they understand like opportunities that we 0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:44.239 have are rare. We have a we have a good 0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:49.960 um core group of people, some veteran talent, and you 0:02:50.000 --> 0:02:54.400 know we need to capitalize and maximize with this opportunity. 0:02:55.000 --> 0:03:01.080 Point five striking was faster, too fast? Twenty five not really. 0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:04.400 You know, I lived through the Derek Fisher shot when 0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:07.480 I was with Pop in the Spurs. That's still haunting. 0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:12.080 That was actually point four. Um, the the the first 0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:15.080 one surprised me. You know, I really felt like something 0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:18.239 strange had happened. Then I thought that definitely was too fast. 0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:21.560 Back to James for a second, when when you have 0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:23.679 games like this, do you see were the potential for 0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:25.800 him potentially help you guys out in the playoffs? When 0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:27.840 he asked games like this, you know like and I 0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:30.359 thought Jonathan the other night did some good things as well, 0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:32.519 and so you know, we have we have two good 0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:35.800 young players. We're trying to figure out the core group 0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:38.280 we sort of get. You know, you got that starting 0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:42.240 group in TJ and and Mike Scott, and then we're 0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:46.080 gonna inherit Boban back into this mix, we hope quite soon. 0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:49.560 I don't know what his timeline is. Joel's around the corner, 0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:51.920 and I thought, mean, you know, came in and had 0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:55.320 some serviceable minutes like I did with Jonah. So I 0:03:56.160 --> 0:03:59.840 hope just for health and some type of time and 0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:04.040 health and time will be the best medicine then that 0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:07.440 we could ask for. Thanks. Seventy Sixers head coach Brett 0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:10.880 Brown outside of the United Center visiting locker room speaking 0:04:10.960 --> 0:04:13.320 about the loss one or eight, one oh seven to 0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:16.120 the Chicago Bulls, and as we were speaking about before 0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:20.039 the postgame press conference with the head coach, we were 0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:23.400 speaking about Zach Levine and tipping the basketball at the room, 0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:25.720 not allowing Jimmy Butler to have an opportunity with point 0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:28.480 five seconds left on the clock to get a shot 0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:31.320 up to eventually give the Sixers a chance to win 0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:35.000 the game, but the operations team at the scores table 0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:38.120 started the clock prematurely. Sixers had to come out of 0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:41.040 the locker room, set up another play, get another shot, 0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:45.320 and unfortunately the ball skates through Jimmy Butler's hands, not 0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:47.800 clean and not allowing him to get a shot off 0:04:48.240 --> 0:04:50.760 what time left on the clock, falling one eight one 0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:53.560 oh seven. Butler did hit two free throws to give 0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:55.640 the seventy six is the lead at four point eight 0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:59.159 seconds to go one seven, one oh six. But on 0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:02.000 the very play for the Chicago Bulls out of the 0:05:02.040 --> 0:05:05.080 time out, Zach Levine, who was phenomenal tonight with thirty 0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:07.840 nine points, gets the ball out there in the wing. 0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:11.400 A miscommunication between Jimmy Butler and Mike Scott, who was 0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:16.240 playing the center position defending Robin Lopez, gets caught Zach 0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:18.880 Levine dan lane for an opportunity to lay the ball in. 0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:21.760 Ben Simmons has to slide over and help foul and 0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:23.880 the basket. Of course, he missed a free throw, but 0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:26.919 just a tough way to end the game tonight, where 0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:29.760 you'll look to continue to pick up these wins against 0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:32.440 these teams, especially coming off of a tough win last 0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:36.760 night at home against the Orlando Magic one eight one 0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:40.920 oh seven the final score from Chicago. When we come back, 0:05:40.960 --> 0:05:43.000 we will check back in with Tom McGinnis on the 0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:45.279 other side, live from the United Center to get some 0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:48.240 final thoughts from him.

Divine givings with you as we discussed the 0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:36.799 Philadelphia seventy Sixers lost one O eight one oh seven 0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:39.840 A weird one. Nevertheless, it goes down in the lost 0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:42.119 column forty one and twenty four. Now on the season, 0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:45.400 they remain a full game behind the Indiana Pacers, who 0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:49.320 IDOL Boston Celtics are currently playing tonight, so we'll keep 0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:51.200 you up up to date on that as the night 0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:53.400 goes along. But we do had bats to the United 0:06:53.400 --> 0:06:55.120 Center to check me back in with the voice of 0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:58.240 the Philadelphia seventy six ers here on the Sixes Radio Network. 0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:00.080 Tom Again, it is Tom, as you pointed out in 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:02.880 the closing moments of this game, when of the strangest 0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:06.920 finishes we've ever seen an NBA. Yeah, so the referees 0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:10.320 they have these things on their belt and you know, 0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:12.720 like I said, I believe they trigger. You know, they're 0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:14.360 kind of taken that out of the hands of an 0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:17.560 official score just because you know, there potentially could be 0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:20.160 an advantage for the home team if the guy has 0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:22.400 a quick trigger on the on the on the button 0:07:22.400 --> 0:07:24.560 on that in terms of starting the clock. So that 0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:28.560 that's been in place for years. And you know they're 0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:31.240 human too, so it's not that's not that's something that 0:07:31.360 --> 0:07:36.440 they start. And yeah, when you watched it, you know, 0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:39.280 I guess it seemed quick, but a half a second 0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:41.960 doesn't take that long and then when you watch it. 0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:46.000 I saw a replay finally, and you know, like Zach 0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:48.120 Levine's touching it with one tenth of a second ago, 0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:50.000 and you're like, well, wait a minute, how did that happen? 0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:53.160 Because nobody had touched it yet. So you know, it 0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:55.960 becomes a mood point when the Sixers don't, you know, 0:07:56.120 --> 0:07:58.880 catch the ball on the second inbound. The bigger thing 0:07:58.960 --> 0:08:03.840 for me is, yeah, crazy finish, but losing a ten 0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:07.800 point lead and up, I believe with five minutes ago 0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:12.520 the Sixers led by six eight ninety two to a 0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:15.280 team that is, you know, a very young team with 0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:20.200 an extraordinary young talent in Levine. And just the breakdowns, 0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:25.240 the turnovers and that coverage. I mean, Zach Levine, everybody 0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:28.320 in the building, anybody who listened to watch knew he 0:08:28.320 --> 0:08:30.880 was going to get the ball and the Sixers have 0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:33.560 a coverage or he gets right to the rim and 0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:36.160 that that's that's tough. I mean that that that'll cost 0:08:36.240 --> 0:08:38.800 you a playoff game or you know that kind of 0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:41.040 you know, like Brett Brown said, they wanted to cover 0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:44.280 that a little bit better. Well yeah, and you know, 0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:47.080 so this is you know, they all count, they all hurt, 0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:50.640 but certainly now you know, with you're playing a team 0:08:51.080 --> 0:08:53.760 that you had you had, you had them down and 0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:58.400 you couldn't finish the deal, and turnovers and missed opportunities 0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:01.160 and missed assignments cash you the game. And one of 0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:03.120 the other things, Tom that stood out for me as 0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:06.440 I isolated on the game, Robin Lopez very active on 0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:09.000 the offensive glass and late in that stretch that you're 0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:10.880 talking about with the ten point lead, he had a 0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:13.920 few offensive rebounds to give them second chance opportunities and 0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:17.000 he converted right even if it wasn't him, he kept alive. 0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:19.320 He got them the ball, like you say, and that's 0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:22.360 how he started the game too. I mean, he's incredible. 0:09:22.400 --> 0:09:24.360 That that's you know, that's the best I've ever seen 0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:27.000 him play. Oftentimes, you know, he was a screener or 0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:30.960 a defender, a rebounder, but tonight, you know, he was 0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:34.560 a main, main part of the game and did a 0:09:34.640 --> 0:09:38.040 terrific job. But he did screen and he did set 0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:41.040 up those dribble handoffs and stuff. So yeah, I mean, 0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:43.360 everybody last night we were all worried about Nick Buseovic. 0:09:43.440 --> 0:09:46.280 Well it turns out Robin Lopez was the guy from 0:09:46.280 --> 0:09:49.880 the visiting team in terms of or the opponent with 0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:52.480 a big center that was going to do damage, and yeah, 0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:54.800 it's tough. The Sixers had some great moments. Ben was 0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:58.400 dominant early on, not so much late. Jimmy Butler looked 0:09:58.400 --> 0:10:00.280 like he was going to have thirty plus point points, 0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:02.560 not so much later on, although he did make a 0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:05.680 good defensive play, made some free throws. JJ had a 0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:08.120 good start her she got almost nothing from in the 0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:12.400 first half. So James Ennis was great. That's a real positive. 0:10:12.920 --> 0:10:15.199 And you move on light number two of a back 0:10:15.240 --> 0:10:17.640 to back put the same story for Chicago in this setup, 0:10:17.920 --> 0:10:20.120 and now you go down to Houston where you're taking 0:10:20.880 --> 0:10:23.040 a team that may be playing it they finally have 0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:25.640 some health now in terms of the Rockets, and you're 0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:28.000 playing a team that may be playing its best basketball 0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:30.120 of the year. Tom again his life in the United Center. 0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:32.360 Sixers fall tonight one eight one o seven to the 0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:35.400 Bulls and a interesting one again, dropping the record to 0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:37.320 forty one to twenty four. As Tom pointed out, headed 0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:39.920 to Houston for a game against the Rockets on Friday time. 0:10:40.000 --> 0:10:42.280 Last one before we let you go. As you isolate 0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:44.679 some of the other players, Mike Scott and we know, 0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:46.920 again tough loss tonight and he was part of that 0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:49.920 missassignment with Jimmy Butler. But over the last few games, 0:10:49.920 --> 0:10:52.720 and specifically since he's been traded here from the Clippers, 0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:56.080 we've had a real good glimpse of his overall versatility, 0:10:56.120 --> 0:10:59.240 both offensively and defense, at least specifically with his toughness 0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:02.760 and in fairness, you know he's guarding their center, yes, 0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:06.199 and that's not you know, that's not his position. But no, 0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:08.400 over the last five games coming in he was shooting 0:11:08.440 --> 0:11:11.520 almost fifty eight percent from the field. He had thirteen threes, 0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:14.640 including that big game against what was that the Warriors 0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:18.120 was six threes. And again, I look at him as 0:11:18.160 --> 0:11:20.200 a guy that's really going to help the Sixers in 0:11:20.240 --> 0:11:22.880 these big games down the stretch and in the playoffs 0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:25.640 because of the fact that again he can switch defensively 0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:28.720 and he can make down make big shots. He brings toughness, 0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:31.360 he's a great teammate. Again, he's one of these guys 0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:34.080 we've watched for a few years in Atlanta and this 0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:36.040 year a little bit with the Clippers, and then you 0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:38.120 get him on your team. And I haven't spent a 0:11:38.120 --> 0:11:40.720 lot of time, but everybody raves about him. So that's 0:11:40.960 --> 0:11:43.400 one of those guys that, oh, okay, when you get 0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:45.000 a guy in your gym and on your team and 0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:47.160 in the locker room, you realize, all right, well what 0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:49.600 a player. And there's a reason he's stuck around for 0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:51.680 this long and so no, I think he's really going 0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:53.640 to be helpful. And like I said, with Simmons doing 0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:57.120 some good work yesterday and Brett Brown echoed this, and 0:11:57.160 --> 0:12:00.120 then Anna's playing here tonight, you get tj and and 0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:02.440 Jonas had some good moments that you're gonna need that 0:12:02.520 --> 0:12:05.600 second unit against some of these top tier teams in 0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:08.600 the Eastern Conference. Well again a talented player and hopefully 0:12:08.679 --> 0:12:10.959 helps him down to stretch the next one against Houston 0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:13.560 on Friday time. Safe flight to Houston and we'll check 0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:17.199 in with you on Friday from Houston.

Rocus Building, you allowed the fan base to 0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:39.920 get back into it and really help support the Chicago 0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:42.280 Bulls on the floor, and they really fed off of it. 0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:46.400 And with Zach Levine and Robin Lopez playing the way 0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:49.160 that they were, the momentum just simply started to change. 0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:52.440 And six has dropped this one one that is really 0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:54.000 tough that they're really gonna have to go back and 0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:56.480 look at some of the things that they did wrong 0:12:56.720 --> 0:12:58.760 to try to figure out getting back on the floor. 0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:01.439 On Friday from the Toyota Center in Houston, one o 0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:03.520 eight one oh seven is the final score.

The seventy Sixers put up twenty nine 0:17:10.080 --> 0:17:11.960 points in the third quarters to the twenty five for 0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:14.680 the Chicago Bulls to hold that four point lead, which 0:17:14.800 --> 0:17:17.679 was necessary coming out of the gate for the Sixers. 0:17:17.680 --> 0:17:20.000 In the fourth quarter, again James Nis keeping it going 0:17:20.080 --> 0:17:22.200 with the three to make it ninety four eighty six. 0:17:22.480 --> 0:17:24.800 Then a lot of back and forth after Mia Johnson 0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:27.399 with a nice phenomenal dunk driving dunk to make it 0:17:27.480 --> 0:17:30.400 ninety six eighty eight. Zach Lavine counters with a three 0:17:30.480 --> 0:17:33.200 pointer to make it ninety eight to ninety five. Philadelphia 0:17:33.480 --> 0:17:36.480 Otto Porter ties it up at one oh one.

That was 0:17:53.840 --> 0:17:58.119 awful easy, mister Simon. Once again between Jimmy Butler and 0:17:58.320 --> 0:18:01.199 Mike Scott, who was guarding Robin Lopez, he came up 0:18:01.200 --> 0:18:03.600 to set the pick slipped a little bit. Jimmy Butler 0:18:03.720 --> 0:18:06.720 followed Robin Lopez, as did Mike Scott who was a 0:18:06.800 --> 0:18:10.600 little and unsure of where to go and ultimately coming 0:18:10.640 --> 0:18:13.679 over late, committing the foul on Zach Levine to make 0:18:13.720 --> 0:18:16.280 the basket one O eight one h seven. Chicago wins 0:18:16.640 --> 0:18:20.120 at the United Center to improve to nineteen and forty seven. 0:18:20.400 --> 0:18:24.240 Sixers fall forty one to twenty four on the season, 0:18:24.680 --> 0:18:27.560 and they get back at it on Friday live from 0:18:27.560 --> 0:18:30.720 the Toyota Center against the Houston Rockets, who they had 0:18:30.760 --> 0:18:32.879 a very good game against early on in the season, 0:18:33.160 --> 0:18:35.160 and it should be a very good contest, with Chris 0:18:35.280 --> 0:18:38.240 paul Back saying with Clint Capella, should be a really 0:18:38.320 --> 0:18:41.040 good game for the seventy sixes against the Houston Rockets 0:18:41.080 --> 0:18:44.240 on Friday, night, another eight o'clock starts. So as these 0:18:44.320 --> 0:18:47.639 games get closer and closer to winding down the regular season, 0:18:47.680 --> 0:18:50.200 we're gonna have a lot of prime time games. And 0:18:50.320 --> 0:18:52.840 yet again, the Sixers are one of those teams in 0:18:52.960 --> 0:18:55.840 the league that is highly coveted in terms of watching 0:18:56.000 --> 0:18:59.600 League Pass Alert, if you will, for this basketball team, 0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:02.440 still unsure of when Joel Embi will be back with 0:19:02.480 --> 0:19:05.880 the basketball team. The same for bobam Marijanovic. We will see. 0:19:06.160 --> 0:19:08.840 But you did have Jonah Bolden back for the seventy 0:19:08.840 --> 0:19:11.440 sixers to go along with Amir Johnson back in the 0:19:11.480 --> 0:19:13.960 starting lineup for the seventy sixers. Played well yet again, 0:19:14.320 --> 0:19:17.119 and maybe you know, with those offensive rebounds, you can 0:19:17.400 --> 0:19:18.919 maybe see where he might have been able to help 0:19:19.040 --> 0:19:21.480 just a little bit more than Mike Scott down the 0:19:21.560 --> 0:19:26.280 stretch to help stop the bleeding, if you will. With 0:19:26.640 --> 0:19:29.600 Robin Lopez very active on the offensive glass. But once again, 0:19:29.680 --> 0:19:33.040 six Ers fall one O eight one oh seven forty 0:19:33.080 --> 0:19:35.720 six percent from the field. For the seventy Sixers, they 0:19:36.000 --> 0:19:39.880 were outshot by the Chicago Bulls by six ninety three 0:19:39.920 --> 0:19:42.800 attempts for the Bulls for their forty four percent eight 0:19:42.880 --> 0:19:45.080 of twenty four from deep for the Sixers, six of 0:19:45.200 --> 0:19:48.159 twenty three for the Chicago Bulls. Both teams getting to 0:19:48.200 --> 0:19:50.160 the free throw line at a high number twenty four 0:19:50.240 --> 0:19:53.280 for the Sixers, converting nineteen twenty seven for the Bulls, 0:19:53.480 --> 0:19:56.399 connecting on twenty of those free throws, pretty even on 0:19:56.480 --> 0:19:58.800 the glass forty seven to forty six the Bulls with 0:19:58.880 --> 0:20:02.879 the advantage off defensive rebounds again sixteen to thirteen, the 0:20:03.000 --> 0:20:07.240 advantage Chicago, while the Sixers had a good number. Unfortunately 0:20:07.359 --> 0:20:10.240 down the stretch, it was Chicago's whether it be a 0:20:10.320 --> 0:20:12.840 tip ball, as Tom McGinnis pointed out, by Robin Lopez, 0:20:12.960 --> 0:20:15.520 or him simply grabbing an offensive rebound four second chance 0:20:15.560 --> 0:20:19.240 opportunity to help his team secure the win. Sixers with 0:20:19.359 --> 0:20:22.760 fifteen turnovers to the Bulls eighteen seventeen points off of 0:20:22.800 --> 0:20:26.280 those fifteen turnovers four the Chicago Bulls Sixers were able 0:20:26.280 --> 0:20:29.040 to muster up thirteen points off of the thirteen turnovers 0:20:29.280 --> 0:20:33.080 for Chicago. Sixes. Again, back at it on Friday live 0:20:33.359 --> 0:20:36.160 from Houston. Tom McGinnis on the game called Brian Selter 0:20:36.240 --> 0:20:39.320 on the pregame coverage, So one final time to score 0:20:39.400 --> 0:20:42.560
