WEBVTT - The BroadCast: 3/20/2019 ~ Rewind vs Celtics 0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:03.960 This is seventy Sixers. Rewind time now to listen back 0:00:03.960 --> 0:00:09.680 to postgame reaction from the team's most recent game. Finally, 0:00:09.720 --> 0:00:13.400 the seventy Sixers take down the Boston Celtics, and what 0:00:13.640 --> 0:00:17.040 a way to do it. One eighteen one fifteen. A 0:00:17.280 --> 0:00:21.120 fantastic effort by the Sixers to get the win tonight. 0:00:21.400 --> 0:00:24.600 They're sixth straight, extending their season high winning streak. They 0:00:24.640 --> 0:00:28.160 now leave the Boston Celtics by four games for third 0:00:28.160 --> 0:00:31.960 place in the Eastern Conference standings. Sixers pretty much looking 0:00:32.080 --> 0:00:34.159 real good for one of the top four seeds in 0:00:34.159 --> 0:00:36.920 the East going into the postseason. After playing Game number 0:00:37.000 --> 0:00:40.200 seventy two tonight and just some of the sub layers 0:00:40.200 --> 0:00:42.680 of this one. You had Joel Embiid putting the seventy 0:00:42.680 --> 0:00:45.640 Sixers on his back essentially for the first three quarters 0:00:45.640 --> 0:00:49.400 of regulation, and then you're thinking someone else or some 0:00:49.479 --> 0:00:51.760 other people are going to have to step up down 0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:54.560 the stretch to see this through for the seventy Sixers 0:00:54.600 --> 0:00:58.120 to get an elusive win over their art rival. Jimmy 0:00:58.200 --> 0:01:02.440 Butler off the chart fifteen of his twenty two points 0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:04.880 in the fourth quarter, he had the back to back 0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:07.480 three pointers to tie it up at one oh five 0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:10.160 free throws with four minutes to go to pull the 0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:13.640 seventy Sixers within a point. He then had that driving 0:01:13.760 --> 0:01:15.720 lamp to make it one eleven one oh eight. He 0:01:15.840 --> 0:01:19.720 assisted on the ensuing Tobias Harris dunk that broke a 0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:22.000 tie and putting the Sixers up one thirteen to one 0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:24.960 to eleven. Jimmy Butler's so huge in this game. And 0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:28.080 then of course that pose he struck after hitting the 0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:30.800 jumper on the wing that proved to be the final 0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:33.200 basket of the night for the seventy Sixers in the 0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:36.920 one eighteen one fifteen win. So, yeah, someone tell me 0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:39.360 about Jimmy Butler, right. I think the guy's pretty good, 0:01:40.000 --> 0:01:42.640 especially in crunch time. Look at these last couple of 0:01:42.680 --> 0:01:45.440 games and how he's factored in fourth quarters. He has 0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:48.880 been precisely when the seventy Sixers sought and acquiring him 0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:51.800 all the way back in November. Let's go back to 0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:54.120 Joe el Embiid, right, So he didn't play last night 0:01:54.120 --> 0:01:56.120 in Charlotte, which means the last two games he's been 0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:58.080 in having to come against the best team in the 0:01:58.160 --> 0:02:00.880 NBA on the road, the Milwaukee Bucks, and all he 0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:03.680 did that night was put up forty fifteen and six, 0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:06.800 and then tonight you have your chief rival in the building. 0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:09.399 You're trying to break this hecks and change your fortunes 0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:13.360 and further boost your momentum going to the postseason. His 0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:17.400 numbers once again outstanding thirty seven twenty two. He had 0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:19.760 a block shot, four assists plus twelve in the game. 0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:22.240 But more than that, something that Brett Brown alluded to 0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:26.639 in the postgame press conference comments that we heard the 0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:29.960 mindset of Joel the last two games he's played against 0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:33.200 the Bucks in Boston. These have been big time, prime 0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:38.040 time national spotlight games. When everyone's looking at you. You're 0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:40.520 the best player on the team arguably, and how are 0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:42.840 you going to show up in games like this that 0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:46.200 mean this much, both in terms of the standings and 0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:48.760 also in the holistic sense to try and get everything 0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:52.400 good for the postseason. Joel embiid the man. The last 0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:56.280 two games he played forty one minutes. Tonight he went 0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:59.360 twenty of twenty one from the free throw line. And really, 0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:01.359 I mean you can say, yeah, the Sixers won the 0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:03.120 game because of their fourth quarter and because of what 0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:05.880 Jimmy Butler did, and you know, Tobias played better in 0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:07.920 the fourth quarter and all that, But I think the 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:09.919 fact that the Sixers were able to even stay close 0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:12.360 with Boston, which led by as many as fifteen in 0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:15.280 this game, goes directly back to what Joe was able 0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:17.400 to do from the foul line when the Sixers were 0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:20.280 battling uphill for most of the game. And then also 0:03:20.360 --> 0:03:23.480 what the Sixers did on the glass, and obviously in 0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:25.400 large part of that had to do with Joel Embiid 0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:28.680 who had sixteen rebounds in the game. Ben Simmons with 0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:32.679 a key basket late He finished with thirteen points, eight rebounds, 0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:36.160 and seven assists. He was able to break the tie 0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:40.480 at one thirteen one thirteen. Tobias finished with twenty one 0:03:40.520 --> 0:03:43.800 and eight. We talked about Joel jj Reddick with seventeen 0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:47.400 points and the Sixers get eight points from the bench. 0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:49.600 I mean, I think if the way you look at this, 0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:54.000 especially last night and just how things are trending, Sixers 0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:55.760 are going to need the starters to be at full 0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:59.560 strength heading into crunch time in the postseason. But you 0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:03.000 know what, they have stepped up and come through Ben 0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:05.560 Simmons to Bias Harris at the mic, So why don't 0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:08.920 we hear from them? If we can get them what 0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:11.360 goes on on the court. But what is he like 0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:16.400 in to huddle Lake compared to I guess earlier. I 0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:19.120 think I don't think it's demeanor change. I just you know, 0:04:19.120 --> 0:04:22.320 he's comfortable. Um, I think he's more comfortable. It's sort 0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:25.720 of in that in that static set, um, where we're 0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:29.359 playing in a sort of at a slower pace, there's 0:04:29.360 --> 0:04:32.320 a there's a real value and having someone who who's 0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:38.279 capable of making plays, um, you know against the set defense. UM, 0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:40.560 somebody who can shoot over the top of guys and 0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:45.440 and really take advantage of mismassage mismatches and um. You know, 0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:47.360 I don't know that you want to play that way 0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:51.760 for four quarters, but certainly at times going down the stretch, Um, 0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:54.359 there's value in that change. Now, you guys have only 0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:56.279 played the next samur eight games together. It's just starting five. 0:04:56.320 --> 0:04:57.960 But is this kind of an example that you guys 0:04:57.960 --> 0:05:04.080 are capable of everything? Sure, I still think we're trying 0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:06.200 to figure things out a little bit, and I think, um, 0:05:07.400 --> 0:05:11.960 I think we all sort of have to learn. I 0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:16.760 think just the flow of the game at times is 0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:19.159 a little different than some of us. You know, I 0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:21.520 say me too. I mean some of us, you know, 0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:24.280 we can go five six possessions without really touching the ball. 0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:26.720 But yet you know, you look up and you're like, oh, 0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:28.719 we have sixty two at half time or not tonight. 0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:30.880 But I'm saying just in general and um, and so 0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:33.440 those are sort of, you know, the things we just 0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:37.760 got to keep sort of learning about playing together because 0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:40.840 I think the talent is there and there's a real 0:05:40.920 --> 0:05:43.560 chance for for cohesiveness because I do think our our 0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:47.720 skill sets compliment each other. That your most what does 0:05:47.760 --> 0:05:49.159 the thing you guys have to work on, I guess 0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:50.440 at the most over the next three weeks. Is it 0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:53.200 just a matter of playing together and actually getting games 0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:55.160 on of your balance before the playoffs. In terms of 0:05:55.200 --> 0:05:59.120 preparing for sure, I mean I think defensively, communication probably 0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:05.240 is the biggest thing. And then just continuing to evolve 0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:10.080 our execution offensively. Marcus, where are your p seventy Sixers 0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:13.680 shooting guard JJ Reddick finishing with seventeen points in tonight's 0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:17.000 game as the seventy Sixers fend off the Boston Celtics, 0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:20.960 overcoming a fifteen point depicite one eighteen to one fifteen 0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:23.279 seventy six and now forty seven and twenty five. Boston 0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:25.479 drops to forty three and twenty nine. We'll talk with 0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:28.280 Tomm Aguinnis next.

Jimmy Butler has it. There's a three second differential. 0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:09.960 If the Sixers score here, they could probably win the game. 0:07:10.320 --> 0:07:12.680 Jimmy Butler with it. Ten seconds to go on the 0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:14.880 shot clock. Ten seconds now to go in the game. 0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:17.840 Jimmy with a dribbles. Jimmy loses it. He almost fell 0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:20.840 in abouts. He shoots it. It's good. He made it 0:07:20.880 --> 0:07:24.360 with an under five seconds ago. Jimmy Butler has come up, 0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:29.200 dude ten. The crowd roars, that is what a closeout 0:07:29.320 --> 0:07:34.400 performance sounds like. Jimmy Buckets getting it done with fifteen 0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:37.840 points in the fourth quarter, seventy Sixers beat the Boston 0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:42.200 Celtics one eighteen to one fifteen. I'm Brian Seltzer. We 0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:45.920 are rejoined now by Tom McGinnis. Tom, what a fantastic 0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:50.000 NBA basketball game tonight, it really was. And Tobias Harris 0:07:50.040 --> 0:07:52.000 hit the nail on the head. He joined his post 0:07:52.000 --> 0:07:53.600 game and he said, you know what, we never quit 0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:58.680 because up fifteen and Boston was just unbelievable. And I 0:07:58.760 --> 0:08:01.840 would think some of these twenty thousand fans were like, oh, brother, 0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:05.000 here we go. We just can't beat Boston. And yet 0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:08.600 the Sixers just kept with it. And you know I 0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:13.640 noted this earlier, Brian, but that Marcus smart thing that 0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:16.720 I think that cost Boston. Not only did they lose 0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:19.200 one of their top players he started in this game, 0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:22.920 but and to that we just heard. I saw on 0:08:22.920 --> 0:08:25.560 the old Twitter sphere from from Brad Stevens. He was 0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:28.280 quoted saying after the game, I'm disappointed him. We needed him. Yeah, no, 0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:30.360 and I thought he was trying to like make a 0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:32.800 statement the way he was like kind of taunting and 0:08:32.920 --> 0:08:35.520 bead and that don't get me wrong, Like I said, 0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:38.360 that screen by Joel could have been called in the 0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:41.600 legal screen probably should have been, but that wasn't I mean, 0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:46.560 so I'm gonna say it wasn't like a real dirty play, 0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:48.440 you know what I mean. But the push of the 0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:52.319 back was and then he was like, you know this bravado. 0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:55.640 He was more intent on personal or so it appeared, 0:08:56.040 --> 0:08:59.080 you know, the personally showing a bead, you know what 0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:01.040 what he could kind of married he what well, it 0:09:01.120 --> 0:09:04.319 cost his team big time and in bed, like I said, 0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:06.600 he had eight points in a row for the sixers there, 0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:08.600 and Joel had a stretch in the first half of 0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:12.040 fifteen and seventeen points in a row. And not only 0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:14.079 did it cost him those points, but Smart was out 0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:16.880 for the game with Baines already on the shelf with 0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:19.840 an ankle, and you know, and also that kind of 0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:22.880 thing like it's like in an Allen you see a 0:09:22.920 --> 0:09:25.160 fight on the playground that you're not even involved in. 0:09:25.720 --> 0:09:27.480 So I don't see you a whole lot of playground 0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:31.520 scrapes growing up. But whatever, I'm just saying, surprised in 0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:34.520 the tough streets he gets parked. Baby, what I'm saying 0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:37.640 is it ratchets up you're adrenaline, you know you're on 0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:40.800 the outside and get fired up. I think it fired 0:09:40.880 --> 0:09:42.880 up the Sixers like, oh yeah, you're gonna do that 0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:45.240 to our big guy. And they came out and then 0:09:45.480 --> 0:09:48.760 Harris was big obviously in the fourth. But Jimmy Butler, 0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:52.280 it's uncanny. I mean, he's so good down the stretch 0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:54.520 and you're like, jeez, if he did that for the 0:09:54.600 --> 0:09:58.480 under thirty six minutes, he'd be Will Chamberlain. He was 0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:01.000 just dobbing it. I love that little stare he got 0:10:01.040 --> 0:10:04.760 into that Kecter's crouch after making that one big shot 0:10:04.800 --> 0:10:08.480 and froze their strike a pose. I mean, Butler just 0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:11.679 really this was, like you say, by all accounts, an 0:10:11.720 --> 0:10:14.800 awesome game and a great result and an exciting win 0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:17.280 for the Sixers and a big win in that you know, 0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:19.280 like I said, and you noted to the four game 0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:22.600 separation in the standings now and the Sixers, Hey, this 0:10:22.679 --> 0:10:24.360 is the point last year where they took off and 0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:26.360 one sixteen in a row. They won six in a row. 0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:28.760 Here they're doing an outstanding job with nine to go 0:10:29.160 --> 0:10:32.240 one eighteen one, fifteen the final score the seventy sixers. 0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:34.400 And it's funny when you say it now they take 0:10:34.440 --> 0:10:36.600 one game out of four against the Boston Celtics this year. 0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:39.080 But this is timing. This is you know, everyone says it, 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:40.760 and it's true. It's how you are playing when you 0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:42.600 get to the time of the year that matters most. 0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:45.120 And this is now, if I'm not mistaken, it's seven 0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:49.040 and one with the current projected playoffs starting lineup, and 0:10:49.080 --> 0:10:52.160 it's been working. They have found ways together and I 0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:54.440 mean Joel just what he was able to do from 0:10:54.480 --> 0:10:57.240 the foulon was incredible. Well, and you go back to 0:10:57.280 --> 0:11:00.640 the starters and the record together, and I'll go back 0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:03.880 and borrow a phrase from JJ Reddick's commentary, it's not 0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:06.280 like how you want to play all the time. But 0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:09.240 this group, the starters had sixty four the last sixty 0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:12.400 five points and all but like six or eight points 0:11:12.400 --> 0:11:16.840 in the game from that first five, and so unbelievable 0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:19.600 by the group that first five. But also you just 0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:23.679 know in the postseason, with foul difficulties and whatever else 0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:26.040 may come up, that you're gonna need that group, and 0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:30.199 Mike didn't have a big offensive game, TJ struggled, And 0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:32.920 again this is a McConnell that, in addition to the 0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:36.000 others but basically helped you win Game four in this 0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:39.360 series last year with Boston and then started and played 0:11:39.360 --> 0:11:42.520 exception well in Game five in Boston. But in Bed, 0:11:42.640 --> 0:11:44.679 I mean he got to the line quite a bit. 0:11:44.720 --> 0:11:47.760 I mean, making twenty out of twenty one is huge. 0:11:48.120 --> 0:11:51.320 But he was really good. I mean, he was just 0:11:51.360 --> 0:11:55.760 a very very top all star performer in this game. 0:11:55.760 --> 0:11:58.640 And he carried the sixer strop much of this game. 0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:01.800 And again it shows, like Brett Brown said, it just 0:12:01.800 --> 0:12:03.840 shows how much he wants it, how much he wants 0:12:03.840 --> 0:12:07.000 to carry the mantle for the franchise, and he showed 0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:10.120 it big time here tonight. Thirty seven twenty two. The 0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:12.760 totals for Joel Embid twenty of twenty one from the 0:12:12.800 --> 0:12:16.760 Falline seventy six ers survived Kyrie Irving's thirty six, Al 0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:20.400 Horford's twenty two. I mean, that's the other thing, Joe 0:12:20.400 --> 0:12:23.360 with that block on Kyrie and Iso down the stretch, 0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:25.680 I mean, that's and that's so you think about that, Okay, 0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:28.040 in a vacuum. That's so impressive. The guy was the 0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:31.840 primary defender essentially on Jannis in the game on Sunday. Yeah. Right, 0:12:31.920 --> 0:12:34.720 And then you know you have to give Boston credit. 0:12:34.800 --> 0:12:36.600 I mean, what they've done to the six Ers over 0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:39.319 the years, certainly the last two years, is they create 0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:42.920 these switches that create for them what they feel are 0:12:42.960 --> 0:12:46.440 favorable match How many times tonight did Embed guard Kyrie 0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:49.880 Irving out front, So it's twofold. One you're pulling Joel 0:12:49.920 --> 0:12:52.560 away from the basket, and then two you're guarding a 0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:56.119 guy who's unguardable. With the way Irving was playing, particularly 0:12:56.400 --> 0:12:58.880 early in this game. I mean, he got that switch 0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:01.240 and he bangs into three, he makes in another three, 0:13:01.280 --> 0:13:04.120 and then he proceeds to go one of eleven from three. 0:13:04.120 --> 0:13:06.079 But to your point, and it's kind of like a 0:13:06.240 --> 0:13:08.360 microcosm of how the six has played in the game 0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:11.600 and that they didn't quit, they kept coming back. Kyrie 0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:14.240 takes Joel off the dribble, but in being able to 0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:17.440 get in there and block that shot. So you know, 0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:20.120 he does a lot of things that are just incredibly 0:13:20.520 --> 0:13:23.360 athletic and just mind numbing when you watch a player 0:13:23.360 --> 0:13:26.600 in speaking of and be of that size, that height, 0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:30.640 that weight, and that ability and agility to make the 0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:34.880 physical plays that he does is just astounding. And that's 0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:38.400 that's why, in part why twenty thousand people show up. 0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:42.760 And again, this is great on the radio. It's basketball 0:13:42.840 --> 0:13:45.720 lends itself to television unlike any other sport. But to 0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:48.800 be here, I mean, this is why you're a season 0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:51.040 ticket holder. This is why you get on a waiting 0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:54.560 list to become one. It is an incredible atmosphere and 0:13:54.600 --> 0:13:57.520 it just coursed through your body with what went on 0:13:57.600 --> 0:14:00.240 here down the stretch with this win over Boston. We 0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:01.559 will leave it at that. I believe we have a 0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:03.560 couple more players coming to the podium in just a 0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:06.000 few moments.

You got it down here at the 0:14:57.600 --> 0:15:01.600 Center tonight. What a game. Let's listen back. Started off 0:15:02.360 --> 0:15:06.680 rather disappointing and disturbing because the Celtics they were clicking 0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:08.920 on all cylinders, shooting the lights out of the ball. 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:11.960 Kyrie Irving was going nuts, but Tobias Harris had a 0:15:12.040 --> 0:15:15.200 very solid first quarter. It beat in pain shoving. Here's 0:15:15.240 --> 0:15:19.160 allowed to Harris at an LU camp to Bias hairs up, 0:15:19.200 --> 0:15:23.400 top down, hard good feat by Simmons. Sixer's tied at 0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:26.520 twenty one under five to go. Yes, But at the 0:15:26.600 --> 0:15:28.600 end of a quarter it was the Boston Celtics leading 0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:31.440 the seventy six Ers thirty nine to thirty. Boston were 0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:33.680 going to lead by as many is fifteen points before 0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:36.200 the first half was done. Mike Scott trying to keep 0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:39.600 things close. Download who Marcus fourth clock by Simmons in 0:15:39.760 --> 0:15:42.160 a big way. Now Bet with the ball. Simmons on 0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:44.800 a drive right at Harford leans it. Oh Bellot shot 0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:47.120 no good. He snatches his own rebound. He gets it. 0:15:47.200 --> 0:15:50.600 Download out to Scott quartered three by Mike Scott. Scott 0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:54.760 a free ball climb out busted. Bet Simmons putting his 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:58.080 thumbprint on the ball. Game. It's a nine point game, 0:15:58.240 --> 0:16:02.000 and the cargoes crazy. Sixty to fifty one. Seventy sixers 0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:04.920 trailed by eleven sixty nine fifty eight at the end 0:16:05.160 --> 0:16:07.600 of the first half. In the third quarter of the 0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:10.360 seventy sixers, it was so much, Joel, It was so 0:16:10.440 --> 0:16:13.040 much getting to the free throw line and beginning the 0:16:13.120 --> 0:16:16.200 slow climb back up the hill. And Joel and Beat, 0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:18.160 of course he was an essential part of it. On 0:16:18.360 --> 0:16:20.480 the drive and beat his foul by Tatum and a 0:16:20.520 --> 0:16:23.200 ten What a shot by and Beat, and he can 0:16:23.480 --> 0:16:26.000 tie the game. He gets up and looks at the 0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:31.440 crowd and waxes and next fingers he did it, tied 0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:33.640 up at eighty two a piece. Let's move on to 0:16:33.640 --> 0:16:36.320 the fourth quarter seventy six Ers one of the final frame, 0:16:36.320 --> 0:16:40.800 trailing ninety to eighty five. This was time for Jimmy Butler. 0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:43.960 Butler guarded by Kyrie. You'll rise for another threak. It's good, 0:16:44.080 --> 0:16:48.480 back to back praise Jimmy Bucketts tie game one oh five, 0:16:48.840 --> 0:16:51.680 one oh five, just under five oh five to go 0:16:52.160 --> 0:16:56.360 at Butler delivers. That was with about six minutes to 0:16:56.480 --> 0:16:59.800 go in the game. The seventy Sixers and Celtics were neck, 0:16:59.800 --> 0:17:02.560 and Boston actually went back up one away to one 0:17:02.600 --> 0:17:05.719 oh five. Butler hit free throws and then the seventy 0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:10.160 Sixers got an alley featuring Tobias Harris diming out Joe 0:17:10.320 --> 0:17:13.240 l Embiide, and there was an opportunity for Jimmy Butler 0:17:13.240 --> 0:17:17.199 to further increase the league one o nine, one away. Butler, 0:17:17.240 --> 0:17:20.719 with an outside right Harris comes to screen, tend to shoot. 0:17:20.880 --> 0:17:24.359 Jimmy Butler against Kyrie Irvy, How good is this? Here's 0:17:24.359 --> 0:17:27.400 Butler on a drive in the way left hand lamp good. 0:17:27.720 --> 0:17:31.199 He went right by Kyrie. Irby's looking at Boris like 0:17:31.440 --> 0:17:36.720 give me some hell man. It's Jimmy Butler. One eight 0:17:36.880 --> 0:17:40.359 seventy six Ers Boston would not go oa. Jason Tatum 0:17:40.359 --> 0:17:43.600 would tie it up at one thirteen. Ben Simmons, what 0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:46.240 do you got? Ben Simmons with it, shot clock down 0:17:46.240 --> 0:17:48.680 to nine. Ben drives it in the lane, puts it up, 0:17:48.880 --> 0:17:51.359 and he back to the kind of fount on Morris 0:17:52.280 --> 0:17:56.760 Simmons going to the basket. Eddie stares it. Simmons hits 0:17:56.760 --> 0:18:00.159 the free throw. One sixteen, one thirteen. This right now, 0:18:00.400 --> 0:18:03.040 right here is the sequence that decide of the game. 0:18:03.440 --> 0:18:06.080 Thirty five seconds to go, seventeen to shoot. Here's Irving 0:18:06.119 --> 0:18:07.560 on a drive in the night. He gets round it, 0:18:07.920 --> 0:18:09.920 Beat blocked it. Morris gets the ball Forrest with a 0:18:09.920 --> 0:18:12.880 stepback not short, and it beat pulls down the rebound. 0:18:13.160 --> 0:18:16.760 Jimmy Butler has it. There's a three second differential. If 0:18:16.760 --> 0:18:20.080 the Sixers score here, they could probably win the game. 0:18:20.400 --> 0:18:22.800 Jimmy Butler with it. Ten seconds to go on the 0:18:22.800 --> 0:18:25.000 shot clock. Ten seconds now to go in the game. 0:18:25.280 --> 0:18:27.960 Jimmy with a dribble. Jimmy loses it. He almost fell 0:18:28.000 --> 0:18:30.879 in about he shoots it. It's good. He made it 0:18:31.000 --> 0:18:34.439 one hundred five seconds ago. Jimmy Butler has come up 0:18:34.680 --> 0:18:38.560 huge and the crowd roars. He got into a crouch 0:18:38.800 --> 0:18:42.960 stuck a pose after sticking the eventual game winning basket. 0:18:43.280 --> 0:18:46.399 Huge moment for Jimmy Butler the seventy Sixers, one of 0:18:46.440 --> 0:18:50.080 the newcomers this year, putting the Boston Celtics aways. The 0:18:50.080 --> 0:18:53.560 seventy Sixers beat Boston for just a fourth time in 0:18:53.600 --> 0:18:56.280 the last twenty two meetings going all the way back. 0:18:56.359 --> 0:18:58.840 You know you include regular and postseasons. The seventy Sixers 0:18:59.119 --> 0:19:03.200 the fourth win in the last twenty two tries against Boston. 0:19:03.280 --> 0:19:06.160 What was it that Lebron James said the first time? 0:19:06.440 --> 0:19:08.440 That's right, we'll clean it up because it's PG radio. 0:19:08.480 --> 0:19:11.880 It's about darn time for the seventy sixers. They went 0:19:11.920 --> 0:19:14.359 it despite shooting just under thirty eight percent from the field. 0:19:14.359 --> 0:19:17.240 Boston shot forty seven percent in the first half, though 0:19:17.280 --> 0:19:19.240 they were up at one point around the sixties. So 0:19:19.320 --> 0:19:22.520 the Sixers outscoring Boston the second half sixty to forty six. 0:19:22.560 --> 0:19:26.800 The defense improving Sixers with eleven of thirty three going 0:19:26.840 --> 0:19:29.680 down from outside the arc Boston twelve of thirty two. 0:19:29.720 --> 0:19:31.880 Pretty even there, I mean this right here is pretty 0:19:31.960 --> 0:19:34.920 much the game in terms of offense. The Sixers thirty 0:19:35.000 --> 0:19:37.880 nine of forty three from the foul line Boston thirteen 0:19:38.000 --> 0:19:41.040 of sixteen and the Sixers. They were plus eight on 0:19:41.080 --> 0:19:44.840 the glass, plus seven on the offensive boards and the 0:19:44.840 --> 0:19:48.199 only committee of the Sixers nine turnovers same total as Boston, 0:19:48.280 --> 0:19:51.879 just one turnover in the fourth quarter from the seventy Sixers, 0:19:51.880 --> 0:19:56.320 tremendous Joel and b thirty seven points, twenty two rebounds 0:19:56.320 --> 0:19:59.320 on the strength of twenty of twenty one free throw shooting, 0:19:59.520 --> 0:20:03.040 ridiculous Jimmy Butler twenty two points, fifteen in the fourth quarter, 0:20:03.680 --> 0:20:06.480 twenty one for Tobias Harris. He was seven to seventeen 0:20:06.520 --> 0:20:10.359 from the field. Ben Simmons with thirteen eight and seven, 0:20:10.560 --> 0:20:14.000 also two block shots and three steals. Seventy six Ers 0:20:14.080 --> 0:20:17.720 got seventeen from JJ Reddick. They survived Kyrie Irving's thirty six, 0:20:18.080 --> 0:20:21.120 twenty from Terry Rozier and twenty two from Al Horford 0:20:21.280 --> 0:20:23.560 for Tom againis Brian Seltzer.
