WEBVTT - Rewind vs. Indiana Pacers - 1/13/20

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:03.400
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to rewind, they'll listen back on press conferences,

0:00:03.480 --> 0:00:08.719
<v Speaker 1>highlights and analysis from the seventy sixers previous game, all

0:00:08.760 --> 0:00:12.360
<v Speaker 1>two familiar themes for the Philadelphia seventy Sixers. On the road,

0:00:12.400 --> 0:00:15.159
<v Speaker 1>they fall to the Indiana Pacers in a noteworthy mid

0:00:15.280 --> 0:00:18.640
<v Speaker 1>season Eastern Conference matchup, one on one to ninety five

0:00:18.680 --> 0:00:21.520
<v Speaker 1>on Brian Seltzer. With the loss, the seventy Sixers have

0:00:21.680 --> 0:00:24.720
<v Speaker 1>now dropped six straight on the road. They slip a

0:00:24.760 --> 0:00:28.600
<v Speaker 1>half game behind Indiana in the Eastern Conference standings. The

0:00:28.600 --> 0:00:31.600
<v Speaker 1>Pacers leap frog the seventy Sixers into fifth, improving to

0:00:31.720 --> 0:00:34.760
<v Speaker 1>twenty five and fifteen, while the seventy Sixers are now

0:00:34.840 --> 0:00:37.640
<v Speaker 1>twenty five and sixteen. They were swept on this two

0:00:37.680 --> 0:00:41.280
<v Speaker 1>game road trip, which started Saturday in Dallas, and the

0:00:41.320 --> 0:00:43.800
<v Speaker 1>Sixers now have dropped six of their last eight games

0:00:44.240 --> 0:00:47.479
<v Speaker 1>and nine of their past thirteen, which essentially accounts for

0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:50.720
<v Speaker 1>the last three and a half four weeks for the Sixers.

0:00:50.800 --> 0:00:53.760
<v Speaker 1>On the road, they struggled with their perimeter shot once again.

0:00:53.800 --> 0:00:56.080
<v Speaker 1>They were just six of thirty three for the game.

0:00:56.400 --> 0:00:59.400
<v Speaker 1>In the second half, they were three for seventeen. Ben

0:00:59.440 --> 0:01:02.600
<v Speaker 1>Simmons got off to a terrific start, and he was

0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:05.679
<v Speaker 1>able to crank out twenty points in Tonight's opening half.

0:01:05.680 --> 0:01:08.920
<v Speaker 1>He finished with a game high twenty four, but you

0:01:09.000 --> 0:01:11.040
<v Speaker 1>do the math. He was kept in check in the

0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:14.040
<v Speaker 1>second half. Josh Richardson, who earlier in the day earned

0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:16.880
<v Speaker 1>his first ever Conference Player of the Week award, had

0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:20.400
<v Speaker 1>an awesome fourth quarter. He scored seventeen of his twenty

0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:25.360
<v Speaker 1>three points, including the seventy sixers final thirteen points of

0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:28.040
<v Speaker 1>the game. But it was not enough tonight, as the

0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:31.040
<v Speaker 1>Pacers kept the seventy Sixers scoreless for the final two

0:01:31.040 --> 0:01:34.280
<v Speaker 1>minutes of play, and they got the decisive six points

0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:37.400
<v Speaker 1>from the free throw line. And that's one area where

0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:41.080
<v Speaker 1>you look at that final fourth quarter. Seventy Sixers turned

0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:43.679
<v Speaker 1>the ball over way too much, seven turnovers in the

0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:47.160
<v Speaker 1>fourth quarter, and Indiana got to the line twice as

0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:50.600
<v Speaker 1>many times, albeit in the final minutes from the seventy sixers,

0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:54.120
<v Speaker 1>and that was a pretty key disparity. Two areas that

0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:57.480
<v Speaker 1>were key disparities in the fourth quarter. Much like what

0:01:57.560 --> 0:02:00.720
<v Speaker 1>we saw Saturday at Dallas. The Sixers enjoyed a really

0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:05.320
<v Speaker 1>promising start of the game. They played great defense, I thought,

0:02:05.520 --> 0:02:08.919
<v Speaker 1>more consistent defense tonight probably good enough defense to win

0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:11.600
<v Speaker 1>the game, but Indie just clamped down too much for

0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:15.120
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers late. But again, the second half the decisive

0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:18.280
<v Speaker 1>turning point against the seventy Sixers. They gave up sixty

0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:21.440
<v Speaker 1>eight second half points to the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday,

0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:25.840
<v Speaker 1>and tonight they surrendered sixty one points to the Indiana

0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:29.320
<v Speaker 1>Pacers in the second half at Baker's Life Field House.

0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:31.960
<v Speaker 1>So a tough one for the seventy Sixers. They drop

0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:34.720
<v Speaker 1>into sixth place in the East. The Pacers move a

0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:37.040
<v Speaker 1>half a game in front of the seventy Sixers. They've

0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:39.760
<v Speaker 1>now won two out of the three matchups on the year.

0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:42.560
<v Speaker 1>The Sixers will have an opportunity to try and hold

0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:45.880
<v Speaker 1>Serve on their home floor again in March, but for now,

0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:47.880
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers will head back home for two games against

0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:50.560
<v Speaker 1>Brooklyn and Chicago later in the week. Looking to get

0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:55.720
<v Speaker 1>back on track. Tom McGinnis called this one in Indianapolis tonight, Tom,

0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:58.120
<v Speaker 1>what aer did you see things go against the Sixers

0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:00.520
<v Speaker 1>in the second half? Well, honestly that you did a

0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:03.760
<v Speaker 1>great job of summarizing the game, and then plus the

0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:07.480
<v Speaker 1>breakdown from from coach Brown, and you know there's just

0:03:07.600 --> 0:03:10.120
<v Speaker 1>the driving in the in traffic, and the way that

0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:14.560
<v Speaker 1>Indiana covered the Sixers down the stretch was just really impressive,

0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:17.200
<v Speaker 1>and that spelled the differences. The Sixers could not get

0:03:17.200 --> 0:03:20.760
<v Speaker 1>open and get any good looks, and you know, again

0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:23.440
<v Speaker 1>it's part of that is compounded by, you know, the

0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:27.359
<v Speaker 1>difficulty in making open or not even open, but just

0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:31.200
<v Speaker 1>making threes and making outside shots, and then it's it's

0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:35.120
<v Speaker 1>glaring like the Sixers without Joel that really is just

0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:39.080
<v Speaker 1>an obvious, you know, difference because even if he's not

0:03:39.240 --> 0:03:41.520
<v Speaker 1>scoring down low, at least he's somebody they had a

0:03:41.560 --> 0:03:44.200
<v Speaker 1>guard or the ball goes in there initially, but part

0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:47.040
<v Speaker 1>of the storyline coming into the game is now, this

0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:49.920
<v Speaker 1>is the third game without Embeed with this hand injury

0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:53.280
<v Speaker 1>after the surgery, and you're trying to define how this

0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:56.680
<v Speaker 1>group will play without him, and Brett Brown looked at

0:03:56.720 --> 0:04:00.119
<v Speaker 1>it as an opportunity, and you know, you saw something

0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:02.520
<v Speaker 1>in terms of how you described and what I called

0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:04.960
<v Speaker 1>with Ben Simmons getting in there and being so aggressive

0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:08.119
<v Speaker 1>and attacking in the first half, but that wasn't there

0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:10.320
<v Speaker 1>in the second half. He had only one field goal.

0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:13.440
<v Speaker 1>You mentioned four points. Two of those were free throws

0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:17.160
<v Speaker 1>and so it's tough. I mean, they kind of bottled

0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:19.640
<v Speaker 1>up Horford a little bit. As you mentioned that the

0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:22.960
<v Speaker 1>Harris three was blocked by t. J. Warren, So you

0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:25.080
<v Speaker 1>got to give them credit with their defense. And again

0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:27.799
<v Speaker 1>they held the Sixers to ninety six points. That's thirteen

0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:31.679
<v Speaker 1>fewer than their average. But certainly, as I said, these

0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:34.200
<v Speaker 1>games define things, and you got if you're gonna say that,

0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:37.400
<v Speaker 1>then okay, then this defines. And the Sixers are still searching.

0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:39.800
<v Speaker 1>They're they're in a tailspin right now, and they could

0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:42.480
<v Speaker 1>have gotten out of it had they extuecuted down the stretch.

0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:45.479
<v Speaker 1>They couldn't stop Rockden and they couldn't score themselves, and

0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:48.560
<v Speaker 1>it spells defeat here in Indianapolis by the score of

0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:52.040
<v Speaker 1>one on one to ninety five Packers Life Field half time.

0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:54.839
<v Speaker 1>The three point shooting thing is kind of a tricky

0:04:54.880 --> 0:04:56.560
<v Speaker 1>thing to look at right now, because I want to

0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:59.840
<v Speaker 1>say it was maybe before the game against OKAC last

0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:01.880
<v Speaker 1>week when the seventy six Ers came off the road

0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:04.880
<v Speaker 1>they were winless in four games, and Brett Brown before

0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:08.679
<v Speaker 1>the game talked a lot about prioritizing trying to manufacture

0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:11.760
<v Speaker 1>simply more three point opportunities let's just forget and makes

0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:14.480
<v Speaker 1>for a moment, but more three point opportunities, and they

0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:17.360
<v Speaker 1>didn't quite seem to do that against Okase and Boston.

0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:19.960
<v Speaker 1>They took thirty seven attempts against Dallas the other night,

0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:21.880
<v Speaker 1>thirty three tonight, which is more than what they had

0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:25.840
<v Speaker 1>averaged per game before Bretton made those comments. But it's

0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:28.160
<v Speaker 1>there are different three point shooting team on the road

0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:29.520
<v Speaker 1>than they are at home. Like just some of the

0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:33.080
<v Speaker 1>shots aren't going down. It's it's bizarre, Yeah, I know,

0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:35.520
<v Speaker 1>and like, and I made a comment and I stand

0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:38.480
<v Speaker 1>by it. So at one point to six or they

0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:42.880
<v Speaker 1>shot eighteen percent from three and four threes, really you

0:05:42.880 --> 0:05:46.560
<v Speaker 1>want more? I just I have to digress and disagree.

0:05:46.600 --> 0:05:49.560
<v Speaker 1>Like I thought during the game, they're not They clearly

0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:51.760
<v Speaker 1>didn't have the legs. I mean they weren't. The ball

0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:54.800
<v Speaker 1>that was short. Almost all the attempts were short. Same

0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:57.840
<v Speaker 1>thing for Indiana, that's not hard to figure out you're

0:05:57.839 --> 0:06:01.000
<v Speaker 1>not getting the ball there. And for me, at least

0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:03.440
<v Speaker 1>in a phase of the game, you know, like and

0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:06.440
<v Speaker 1>these were a lot of them were open looks. You know,

0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:08.839
<v Speaker 1>drive the ball more, and they did. Right after that,

0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:12.599
<v Speaker 1>they started getting some mid range shots, you know, so

0:06:12.880 --> 0:06:15.440
<v Speaker 1>I know what the analytics say, but boy, just watching

0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:20.480
<v Speaker 1>basketball and looking at the threes weren't going. And so

0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:22.560
<v Speaker 1>I think you got to go to something else at

0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:24.479
<v Speaker 1>that and try to work on something else and try

0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:27.080
<v Speaker 1>to get something else going to the basket or you know,

0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:30.760
<v Speaker 1>pick and pop where they're eighteen footers and it's just

0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:33.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, when they're not going. And certainly on the road,

0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:35.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what the difference is. You know how

0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:39.080
<v Speaker 1>the crowd plays into it in that area, but it's

0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:41.159
<v Speaker 1>an area where the Sixers have struggled at times, and

0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:44.000
<v Speaker 1>clearly this was one of those games. Well, and it

0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:47.359
<v Speaker 1>goes back to the big picture point that you made.

0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:50.200
<v Speaker 1>It should certainly clarify that Prett Brown made those comments

0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:52.919
<v Speaker 1>about wanting to see more three pointers before Joel Ebad

0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:54.880
<v Speaker 1>got hurt. While Joel Ebiad is now hurt, we're not

0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:56.920
<v Speaker 1>sure how long he's going to be out for. And

0:06:56.960 --> 0:06:59.640
<v Speaker 1>while the Sixers were able to get some of their

0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:01.839
<v Speaker 1>looks and converted late in the game against the Boston

0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:04.160
<v Speaker 1>Celtics on Thursday, I think I don't know how you

0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:06.200
<v Speaker 1>feel this is going to be an ongoing thing for

0:07:06.200 --> 0:07:08.279
<v Speaker 1>the immediate future. With that and beat is just seeing

0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:10.320
<v Speaker 1>like how they're going to figure this out with the

0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:13.400
<v Speaker 1>options they have currently on the floor when games tighten

0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:16.280
<v Speaker 1>up late against good teams. Yeah right, no, that's not

0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:18.080
<v Speaker 1>going away. And let me be clear, And this sounds

0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:19.760
<v Speaker 1>like I'm talking about both sides of my mouth. So

0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:23.800
<v Speaker 1>the sixes made six and like the three, you know

0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:25.920
<v Speaker 1>what I've noticed over the years, and the sixes have

0:07:26.040 --> 0:07:28.800
<v Speaker 1>not been traditionally over the last you know, well really,

0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:31.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't know eight ten years, they've not been one

0:07:31.560 --> 0:07:33.880
<v Speaker 1>of the top three point shooting teams. Certainly last year,

0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:36.160
<v Speaker 1>in the last couple of years with Reddick, it changed

0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:38.920
<v Speaker 1>the dynamic a little bit. And when you're making them,

0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:40.520
<v Speaker 1>it gets you back into games, and when you have

0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:43.320
<v Speaker 1>a slight lead, it obviously pushes the leads where sometimes

0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:46.880
<v Speaker 1>it's a two, three possession ball game. But I stand

0:07:46.880 --> 0:07:48.880
<v Speaker 1>by what I said regarding you know, when you're not

0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:51.480
<v Speaker 1>making them and then continuing to take them, I don't know,

0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:54.520
<v Speaker 1>sometimes that seems a little foolhardy or just it seems

0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:56.240
<v Speaker 1>like they're not it's not going to swing the balance

0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:58.120
<v Speaker 1>when you're not making them, when you're missing them time

0:07:58.200 --> 0:08:02.320
<v Speaker 1>after time. But again, you have to find some type

0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:07.040
<v Speaker 1>of recipe or way to attack without embed You're right,

0:08:07.080 --> 0:08:09.520
<v Speaker 1>it's a wholly different thing. And Horford's a different type

0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:12.840
<v Speaker 1>of player than Joel. The idea is to play faster,

0:08:13.400 --> 0:08:16.800
<v Speaker 1>and I thought Simmons just he completely dominated with how

0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:19.520
<v Speaker 1>he attacked. I believe he was eight of ten in

0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:22.600
<v Speaker 1>the first half from the field, and yet he had

0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:24.560
<v Speaker 1>a couple of close range shots down the stretch that

0:08:24.600 --> 0:08:27.400
<v Speaker 1>he shot kind of as layups from five feet or so,

0:08:27.560 --> 0:08:29.800
<v Speaker 1>and those are difficult. Those are hard shots to me.

0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:32.679
<v Speaker 1>You got to square the shoulders and shoot that like

0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:34.559
<v Speaker 1>a jump shot, like a you know, right in there

0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:38.400
<v Speaker 1>in close range. And there was just a whole number

0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:42.000
<v Speaker 1>of things that went Indiana's ways. And you know, like

0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:44.160
<v Speaker 1>I said to I, change your identity on the road.

0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:46.000
<v Speaker 1>You've got to win these games. You got to play

0:08:46.080 --> 0:08:48.439
<v Speaker 1>better down the stretch. It is more difficult, no doubt,

0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:51.440
<v Speaker 1>away from Philadelphia. And it's like the Sixers are two

0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:54.920
<v Speaker 1>different teams. Six straight losses here, only seven wins on

0:08:54.960 --> 0:08:57.520
<v Speaker 1>the road period, you know, and they've been dominant at

0:08:57.559 --> 0:09:00.839
<v Speaker 1>home with what eighteen victories, and you know, no matter

0:09:00.880 --> 0:09:03.600
<v Speaker 1>what happens, and right now, the Sixers are outside the

0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:06.640
<v Speaker 1>top four, and who's to say how it ends up

0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:08.800
<v Speaker 1>in the next half of the season. Hopefully they'll get

0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:11.760
<v Speaker 1>a home court advantage in the first round. But at

0:09:11.800 --> 0:09:13.560
<v Speaker 1>some point you have to win on the road in

0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:16.720
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs anyway, I mean more than likely. And so

0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:19.000
<v Speaker 1>you've got and you can't just click your heels, snap

0:09:19.040 --> 0:09:21.439
<v Speaker 1>your fingers and say, wala will be a playoff, will

0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:23.560
<v Speaker 1>be a tough road team on the You have to

0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:27.080
<v Speaker 1>form the habits, know with confidence that you can close

0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:30.720
<v Speaker 1>out games on the road. Execute down the stretch. That's

0:09:30.720 --> 0:09:32.839
<v Speaker 1>what playoffs. Just how tight we saw it here down

0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:35.680
<v Speaker 1>the stretch, that's what the playoffs are like. Every single

0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:38.760
<v Speaker 1>you have to squeeze every little drop out of the

0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:41.320
<v Speaker 1>wet tile, if you will, and milk it and try

0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:44.480
<v Speaker 1>to get the offense. It's not free flown, it's not

0:09:44.640 --> 0:09:48.400
<v Speaker 1>running racehorse, dunk the basketball ninety four feet. That's not

0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:50.880
<v Speaker 1>how it goes in the guts of a hard, tough

0:09:51.000 --> 0:09:53.840
<v Speaker 1>road playoff game, or any game on the road where

0:09:53.840 --> 0:09:57.199
<v Speaker 1>it's this close, that's just not how it works. Seventy

0:09:57.200 --> 0:09:59.640
<v Speaker 1>six ers falling in the one ninety five even at

0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:01.000
<v Speaker 1>this time, I'm talking about, where does some of the

0:10:01.040 --> 0:10:03.760
<v Speaker 1>seventy six ers late games. Options come from you know,

0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:06.800
<v Speaker 1>Josh Richardson has been putting up his hand as of late.

0:10:06.840 --> 0:10:10.040
<v Speaker 1>He reached the twenty point mark for the fourth time

0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:11.760
<v Speaker 1>in his last six games, and he was great in

0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:13.760
<v Speaker 1>the fourth quarters, certainly put the seventy Sixers in a

0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:16.640
<v Speaker 1>position to steal this one tonight. He was terrific that

0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:19.080
<v Speaker 1>one three he made with the shot clock winding down.

0:10:19.120 --> 0:10:22.000
<v Speaker 1>And you know, like again, that was the question coming

0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:24.560
<v Speaker 1>into the season, who is the six years closer? And

0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:27.120
<v Speaker 1>certainly you would think and beat and again it can

0:10:27.160 --> 0:10:29.320
<v Speaker 1>be multi if you swing the ball now, the play

0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:31.800
<v Speaker 1>can typically you know, if not this, then this, and

0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:35.160
<v Speaker 1>it can go to different players. But Horford and Harris

0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:37.800
<v Speaker 1>and all these guys can score the ball. And again

0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:39.960
<v Speaker 1>I believe, you know, you obviously have to construct a

0:10:40.040 --> 0:10:43.480
<v Speaker 1>play for a guy. But like by way of example,

0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:46.520
<v Speaker 1>you know that ball, Horford kicked it out to Harris. If,

0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:49.600
<v Speaker 1>as coach said to Bias, Fakes gets worn to fly by,

0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:52.360
<v Speaker 1>maybe he dribbles in and slides it back to Horford

0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:55.079
<v Speaker 1>for a layup. So I mean, any given play can

0:10:55.120 --> 0:10:57.079
<v Speaker 1>have multiple options and things. You have to be able

0:10:57.120 --> 0:11:00.480
<v Speaker 1>to be flexible and play and take what the defense

0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:03.440
<v Speaker 1>gives you. But Richardson is certainly a guy that all

0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:06.840
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden has become that kind of player and

0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:09.920
<v Speaker 1>as you say, standing up and taking the challenge and delivering.

0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:13.480
<v Speaker 1>But it can be multiple guys, and but they have

0:11:13.600 --> 0:11:15.880
<v Speaker 1>to be able to prove it and deliver with the

0:11:15.920 --> 0:11:18.480
<v Speaker 1>game alm of mind. They've all done it in previous times,

0:11:18.760 --> 0:11:20.080
<v Speaker 1>but they got to be able to do it on

0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:23.000
<v Speaker 1>a consistent basis to be able to be a ball

0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:26.880
<v Speaker 1>club that has these multiple options that can deliver down

0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:29.800
<v Speaker 1>the stretch. Good points by Tom mc ginnis. After a

0:11:29.800 --> 0:11:31.760
<v Speaker 1>tough night for the seventy six ers, Tom will speak

0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:35.600
<v Speaker 1>again on Wednesday. Good Night. Seventy Sixers loose to the

0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:38.480
<v Speaker 1>Indiana Pacers, go winless on this two game road trip.

0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:41.960
<v Speaker 1>They've now dropped six straight away from South Philadelphia one

0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:44.880
<v Speaker 1>one ninety five. They were looking to bounce back after

0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:48.680
<v Speaker 1>a second half got away from them Saturday in Dallas.

0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:53.040
<v Speaker 1>Ben Simmons was simply put a beast in the first

0:11:53.040 --> 0:11:55.800
<v Speaker 1>seven to the ball to Harris out Tom and again

0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:58.240
<v Speaker 1>Ben goes down low Horford trying to find him. He

0:11:58.280 --> 0:12:00.520
<v Speaker 1>gets good position this time and he lays up going

0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:03.040
<v Speaker 1>backward and he puts it up and in. Simmons with

0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:07.000
<v Speaker 1>Roddon and Turner there scores it four love Sixers and

0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:09.720
<v Speaker 1>Ben Simmons would double that total before he took his

0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:13.480
<v Speaker 1>first break on the bench in the first quarter. Seventy

0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:16.000
<v Speaker 1>Sixers led by a point after twelve minutes twenty three,

0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:18.840
<v Speaker 1>twenty two. When Simmons returned to the court in the

0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:22.760
<v Speaker 1>second quarter, he was in full fledge attack mode once again.

0:12:23.000 --> 0:12:25.360
<v Speaker 1>Here's Ben on a drive. You're the lane, muscles threw

0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:28.640
<v Speaker 1>everybody in a two hand stop. Ben Simmons throws it down,

0:12:29.000 --> 0:12:32.640
<v Speaker 1>time out Indianna. That put the seventy six Ers up

0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:35.320
<v Speaker 1>thirty three, two thirty one. Ben Simmons with one of

0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:38.040
<v Speaker 1>his best plays of the season to end the first half,

0:12:38.320 --> 0:12:40.880
<v Speaker 1>rock and dribbles, stop starts, goes in on al him's

0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:43.040
<v Speaker 1>the base light throws it away. Simmons with a breakout.

0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:45.720
<v Speaker 1>He gets into the lane on Jeremy lab pass, slams

0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:50.160
<v Speaker 1>and look out Lab Ben Simmons like a freight train. Indeed,

0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:54.560
<v Speaker 1>he was Ben Simmons Holly by himself taking care of

0:12:54.640 --> 0:12:57.880
<v Speaker 1>that first half highlight real. He scored twenty points in

0:12:57.920 --> 0:13:01.040
<v Speaker 1>the first half, his second highest total ever in his

0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:03.839
<v Speaker 1>career in a first half seventy six ers like forty

0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:07.120
<v Speaker 1>nine forty at the break. In the third quarter, things

0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:10.120
<v Speaker 1>as they did Saturday at Dallas, started to tighten up

0:13:10.160 --> 0:13:13.040
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more. Indiana again making their shots. Their

0:13:13.120 --> 0:13:16.160
<v Speaker 1>defense clamped down, but another strong play by Ben Simmons

0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:18.720
<v Speaker 1>at the rack put the seventy sixers back in the lead.

0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:21.720
<v Speaker 1>In the latter stages of the third shot clock at three,

0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:24.839
<v Speaker 1>Simmons drives a jams it off man. He went for

0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:28.280
<v Speaker 1>the right perimeter, bright down the lad and wraps it

0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:31.319
<v Speaker 1>up and dunks the ball. I mean at sixty nine

0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:33.640
<v Speaker 1>sixty seven. It was tied at sixty nine going into

0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:36.120
<v Speaker 1>the fourth. For as good as Ben Simmons was up

0:13:36.120 --> 0:13:38.800
<v Speaker 1>to that point in the game, Josh Richardson began taking

0:13:38.840 --> 0:13:41.319
<v Speaker 1>over in the fourth. He had his first two shots

0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:43.920
<v Speaker 1>of the final period to give the seventy sixers a boost.

0:13:44.120 --> 0:13:46.200
<v Speaker 1>They were going back and forth, back and forth with

0:13:46.240 --> 0:13:49.400
<v Speaker 1>Indie until Richardson didn't nudged them in front. I'll top

0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:51.800
<v Speaker 1>Josh Richardson with Biles Turner on him, there should be

0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:54.960
<v Speaker 1>a misspack Brocktons got out. Here's Jock backing up fifteen

0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:58.160
<v Speaker 1>footer shot here bucket. It's good Eastern copp require the

0:13:58.160 --> 0:14:01.280
<v Speaker 1>weak and Richardson able to get the bull up shot

0:14:01.280 --> 0:14:04.600
<v Speaker 1>turner that made it eighty eight eighty seven seventy sixers Now.

0:14:04.600 --> 0:14:07.520
<v Speaker 1>As hot as Richardson got, so two did Malcolm Brockden

0:14:07.840 --> 0:14:10.480
<v Speaker 1>for the Indiana Pacers. He locked it up on a

0:14:10.520 --> 0:14:13.720
<v Speaker 1>three pointer at ninety two ninety two. Josh Richardson with

0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:16.280
<v Speaker 1>his final bucket and the seventy sixers final bucket of

0:14:16.320 --> 0:14:18.880
<v Speaker 1>the ninety sixers really with three Now they got a

0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:23.320
<v Speaker 1>fire shot by Josh Bits God, are you Jenny bad?

0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:27.680
<v Speaker 1>Josh Richardson with o'clock about the buzzer, a play most

0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:30.440
<v Speaker 1>worthy of the are you kidding Me? Signature call from

0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:34.040
<v Speaker 1>Tom McGinnis. Seventy Sixers back in front ninety four, but

0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:35.880
<v Speaker 1>they would not score again the rest of the game,

0:14:35.880 --> 0:14:38.960
<v Speaker 1>whereas the Pacers would walk to the line a couple

0:14:39.000 --> 0:14:41.320
<v Speaker 1>more times, their final seven points coming from the free

0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:43.720
<v Speaker 1>throw line, and they're one on one, ninety five win.

0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:47.240
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, that three pointer from Richardson was spectacular line

0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:51.920
<v Speaker 1>drive straightaway, heavily contested about thirty feet out. He scored

0:14:51.920 --> 0:14:54.600
<v Speaker 1>the final thirteen points of the game for the seventy Sixers,

0:14:54.800 --> 0:14:57.760
<v Speaker 1>but it would not be enough in a six point loss.

0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:01.280
<v Speaker 1>But the seventy Sixers they a shot forty one and

0:15:01.280 --> 0:15:03.680
<v Speaker 1>a half percent for the game, the Pacers only thirty

0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:06.320
<v Speaker 1>eight and a half percent. But here's where some of

0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:09.840
<v Speaker 1>the big disparities and decisive disparities were. Seventy six Ers

0:15:09.920 --> 0:15:13.480
<v Speaker 1>just six of thirty three from outside the arc and

0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:17.240
<v Speaker 1>fifteen of nineteen from the line. Pacers with ten three pointers,

0:15:17.280 --> 0:15:20.400
<v Speaker 1>and they outscored the seventy sixers by ten from the

0:15:20.440 --> 0:15:24.400
<v Speaker 1>free throw line. Also, the Pacers, they were really good

0:15:24.440 --> 0:15:27.840
<v Speaker 1>in the second half at grabbing their offensive rebounds. They

0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:31.280
<v Speaker 1>were plus one overall on the offensive boards. That helped

0:15:31.320 --> 0:15:33.920
<v Speaker 1>their cause as well. Seventy six Ers with seven of

0:15:33.920 --> 0:15:37.960
<v Speaker 1>their thirteen turnovers in the fourth quarter just nine turnovers

0:15:38.440 --> 0:15:41.680
<v Speaker 1>for the Pacers. Sixers led by Ben Simmons, he scored

0:15:41.720 --> 0:15:43.880
<v Speaker 1>twenty of his twenty four in the first half. He

0:15:43.920 --> 0:15:47.640
<v Speaker 1>had fourteen rebounds along with three assists twenty three for
