WEBVTT - The BroadCast: 4/4/2018 - Rewind vs. Nets 0:00:00.320 --> 0:00:04.880 The Sixers take care of Brooklyn one twenty one ninety five. 0:00:04.960 --> 0:00:07.120 Welcome back our final segment here and then we'll hand 0:00:07.160 --> 0:00:09.800 it over to Brian Seltzer, who's also here. That it 0:00:09.840 --> 0:00:13.360 sounds like Brett Brown is available outside the Sixers locker room. 0:00:13.440 --> 0:00:15.680 Let's throw it to the coach and his availability right now. 0:00:16.079 --> 0:00:20.319 Well to do that, than things of things are looking 0:00:20.400 --> 0:00:23.680 quite positive with a group that we have. If people 0:00:23.680 --> 0:00:27.280 can offensive rebound, you know you're in a whole new world. 0:00:27.320 --> 0:00:29.560 I think we dropped to nineteenth or twenty one or 0:00:29.640 --> 0:00:33.879 something that doesn't isn't so good. And so we've been 0:00:33.920 --> 0:00:37.440 talking about it. We show it daily after every game 0:00:37.640 --> 0:00:41.040 film session, talking about it, trying to drill it and 0:00:41.640 --> 0:00:44.960 get better at defensive rebounding, especially how much more important 0:00:45.000 --> 0:00:50.159 because Robert's defense, because when Joel's not back there, Um 0:00:50.680 --> 0:00:55.560 it does, it does become more important. I think to 0:00:55.680 --> 0:00:57.960 what I think you're saying, Riches, like the front door 0:00:58.160 --> 0:01:01.560 stays shut. He really can move his feet and keep 0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:06.039 people out of the paint. Um. He and he's been 0:01:06.040 --> 0:01:07.920 playing some fool lately, you know, if you look at 0:01:07.920 --> 0:01:10.880 how we've been playing him. I thought tonight his ability 0:01:10.959 --> 0:01:14.360 to we call it guard the yard. Can you not 0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:19.120 get beat on the first dribble? Slide your feet was 0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:24.880 elite third quarters, not just is there a goal for 0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:26.880 your guys, not just a whole of the opponents to 0:01:26.959 --> 0:01:29.479 a little number, but see how great we can make 0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:35.000 the scoring margins, because that's been yeah number and it's 0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:41.520 been a It's always the hard part I think in 0:01:41.640 --> 0:01:43.600 my years in the NBA is like, how do you 0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:46.080 come out of a locker room? How do you come 0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:49.840 out at halftime and buying large? I think, you know, 0:01:49.880 --> 0:01:52.200 the first few minutes, you know, some coaches got to 0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:53.960 yell at the team and call it time out and 0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:56.920 the game sort of gets real again. Our guys have 0:01:57.120 --> 0:02:00.880 jumped into third periods for the most part. And you know, 0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:04.760 tonight I could hear JJ talking about Detroit is waiting 0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:08.760 for us. You know. The fact that we can jump 0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:12.040 on these guys and try to like balance the gym 0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:15.640 in relation to playing more of the bench and not 0:02:15.840 --> 0:02:21.120 really pounding people with extending extended minutes was interesting, Like 0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:24.760 he's such a he's such a pro, he's a veteran, 0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:29.200 And it was as sound a message as I could 0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:31.680 think of that he delivered to the team and so 0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:35.280 the third periods. It's true we've been jumping out tonight. 0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:37.360 I think maybe JJ had a little bit to do that. 0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:41.360 Bena Marquel obviously played together a little bit at the 0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:43.519 start of the season. Have they gotten any time in 0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:48.000 practice now? I mean the days of practice nowadays don't exist, 0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:51.480 and they really don't. And you know, you try to, 0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:56.040 as I've said in my sort of walk down of 0:02:56.080 --> 0:02:58.880 the playoffs, is how do you keep the health, this 0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:01.800 spirit in the form those three things and in that 0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:06.160 autumn and you find that the realities of when you're 0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:09.640 on the floor minimal, and when you are on the 0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:12.720 floor it's not sort of full contact and you know, 0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:16.120 one hundred percent type stuff, tape stuff, and so you 0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:18.680 get educated in a film room, you get educated through 0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:21.919 a walkthrough, and in that environment they've done a little, 0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:25.640 not a lot, just a little. But I intend to, 0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:27.920 you know, continue to look at that and try to 0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:32.160 grow that. Sixers coach Brett Brown Sixers win one, twenty 0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:36.680 one ninety five. This is the Philadelphia has seventy Sixers 0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:40.400 postgame show. If I can look about about broach free 0:03:40.440 --> 0:03:42.960 zars is gonna turn and get it off. Maddie Rolls 0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:47.400 and the Sixers post game show Right now on ninety 0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:54.120 seven five the Fanetic be the longest anti winning street 0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:57.360 in the National Basketball Association, rolls right on along and 0:03:57.520 --> 0:04:00.360 convincing fashion and no less here at this center in 0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:05.160 South Philadelphia. Tonight one one ninety five, the seventy Sixers 0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:08.520 over the Brooklyn Nets. Brian Seltzer with you from Sixers 0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:11.480 dot com. This was a good win for the Sixers tonight. 0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:14.160 A little back and forth with the Brooklyn Nets midway 0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:16.400 through the first period, Ben Simmons setting the tone for 0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:19.680 the squad during that stretch and along with Arson Iliasova, 0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:23.279 helping fuel a nice eleven nothing run to end the 0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:26.680 first quarter. They added five more points that spurt going 0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:29.400 into the second, and from there the Sixers were essentially 0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:32.560 in the driver's seat. The Nets claude within two points 0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:34.800 midway through the second quarter, of the Sixers answered with 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:36.839 thirteen more in a row. They had a twelve point 0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:40.080 lead to the break and never looked back, blowing things 0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:43.640 open in the third quarter. Balance all around. Ben Simmons 0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:47.159 with fifteen points, twelve rebounds and six assists, just the 0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:50.080 second rookie ever to reach twelve hundred point six rebounds 0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:53.760 and six hundred assists in a single season. JJ Reddick 0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:57.080 continues to be his veteran steady self, leading the Sixers 0:04:57.080 --> 0:05:00.839 with nineteen Robert Covington a great two way press, ersan 0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:03.560 Ilyasova a double double, and markl faults in the rest 0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:07.960 of the Sixers bench. All good stuff. Tom McGinnis had 0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:10.720 the game call of tonight's Tom, do you remember what 0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:13.160 you were doing back in nineteen ninety the Sixers last 0:05:13.160 --> 0:05:16.599 one eleven straight in season because eleven of the Sixers 0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:18.599 players in the roster were not even born yet. In 0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:23.720 a strange twist, I was calling pro basketball, but at 0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:28.360 a different level, and it was in the CBA. Pretty 0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:31.320 amazing stuff. Now, it was great some of these numbers, 0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:34.159 like the other one where they've won by double digits 0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:36.359 for nine games in a row and that's the first 0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:39.760 time ever. You're like, really so no, Like I said, 0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:44.159 it's just astonishing that just even not last year. Let's 0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:46.080 go back two years ago, the year of the Sixers 0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:49.120 won ten games. Some of these numbers somewhere in there, Brian, 0:05:49.200 --> 0:05:51.560 wasn't that not a twenty six game losing streak. So 0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:54.080 some of the numbers that were of shall we say 0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:58.320 dubious distinction are now the complete opposite, where the Sixers 0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:02.720 are going into uncharted waters in the most positive of directions, 0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:06.920 including individual statistics like what Simmons did denied in terms 0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:10.400 of joining Oscar Robertson with over twelve hundred points in 0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:13.719 his first season, He's already accumulated over six hundred rebounds 0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:16.359 and six hundred assists. I mean to be in the 0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:20.360 same grouping as Oscar Robertson. He's not closing in on 0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:22.800 Will Chamberlain for triple doubles, but he's up there with 0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:27.520 Bobby or excuse me, you know, Billy Cunningham and some 0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:29.760 of the others. The names that he's brushing up against 0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:33.480 with some of these statistical accomplishments is amazing. Then, And 0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:36.520 as I say, as the team twenty games where they've 0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:39.640 held the opposition under one hundred points, they've won the game, 0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:42.039 it's just an on and on and on. The assist 0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:43.960 that Coach Brown mentioned, I knew he was going to 0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:46.720 be looking at that. He's so proud of that accomplishment. 0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:49.000 With the way the Sixers are sharing the ball, and 0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:51.560 to me, not only this is what I've called like 0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:54.440 kind of taking care of business, they should beat Brooklyn, 0:06:54.760 --> 0:06:57.279 but they pounded him. They took him right out of it. 0:06:57.720 --> 0:07:02.520 And with the contributions eight guys in double figures all around, 0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:06.279 just remarkable in terms of whether it's a winning streak 0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:08.240 of eleven games that dates back to the first time 0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:11.960 since nineteen ninety is just amazing on many different fronts, 0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:14.560 Sixers out scoring the nets twenty one to five points 0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:17.360 off turnover as part of a very solid effort on 0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:19.640 both ends by the Sixers at the time. You know, 0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:21.520 it's like you look down some of these statuets and 0:07:21.520 --> 0:07:24.000 I feel like I'm guilty. He's charging this front. Of course, 0:07:24.000 --> 0:07:25.840 you want to talk about guys like Ben Simmons and 0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:28.080 Joel E. Bieber's health and even something like Mark el 0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:31.960 Folks tonight, but JJ Reddick's having a career year in 0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:34.280 his twelfth season. He's going back to the playoffs twelve 0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:37.880 or twelve as a pro. Nineteen points tonight helped widen 0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:40.280 things in this one tonight, And I guess maybe, at 0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:42.080 least for me, it is sometimes take a little bit 0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:44.400 for granted just how steady and good and how much 0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:46.400 of a fit he's been on this rock now during 0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:49.600 these runs. It again the Sixers had three substantial runs 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:53.800 that helped separate them from Brooklyn sixteen eleven oh thirteen. 0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:57.280 Note he was right in the midst of those scoring sprees. 0:07:57.720 --> 0:08:01.560 The Sixers ran the same play three times in a row. 0:08:01.840 --> 0:08:04.760 Four Reddick and that is Ben had on the right wing. 0:08:04.760 --> 0:08:06.520 He threw it to a mirror, a mirror with a 0:08:06.600 --> 0:08:09.360 dribble handoff the JJ Reddick on a tight curl around 0:08:09.400 --> 0:08:13.920 that getting open leaning to and with that separation, whether 0:08:13.920 --> 0:08:17.400 it was Harris on him or Dinwittye or Hollis Jefferson, 0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:20.880 he's able to create the separation and get the shot 0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:24.600 off clean. Look like Bell Andelle. He's very effective at 0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:29.000 off balance shooting. He's just a basketball sniper. And then 0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:32.080 you add the leadership in what Brett Brown was referring 0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:35.760 to and JJ Reddick, assuming it was at halftime yelling, hey, 0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:40.720 look the pistons I'm assuming he affected, especially the Pistons 0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:43.240 are waiting for it. They're resting, and we need this. 0:08:43.280 --> 0:08:45.360 In other words, let's put this away right now. We 0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:47.560 have it right in front of us, where these guys 0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:50.120 can play twenty some odd minutes instead of thirty plus. 0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:53.560 And that's exactly what happened. And the balance and the depth. 0:08:53.960 --> 0:08:56.560 It's really all coming together, and Reddick is a major 0:08:56.640 --> 0:09:00.280 part of it. Sixers over the Brooklyn Nets one one 0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:02.920 to ninety five, and out's on to Detroit, a team 0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:05.240 that about a month and a half ago, Tom was 0:09:05.360 --> 0:09:07.520 right in the mix of things with the Sixers for 0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:10.520 positioning in the Eastern Conference standings. The addition of Blake 0:09:10.559 --> 0:09:14.440 Griffin has not gone their way, Detroit entering today four 0:09:14.480 --> 0:09:16.920 games behind the eight spot in the East with about 0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:18.960 a week and a half left, So the Sixers an 0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:21.120 opportunity to close out this back to back. No Dario 0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:24.440 starts tomorrow, but Detroit has talent. Even though they don't 0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:26.120 have the record to show for it in terms of 0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:27.840 what they were expecting, they still can be a very 0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:30.400 dangerous team. No, I mean you reflect back all the 0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:33.000 way to the opening days of the season. The Sixers 0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:35.640 were oh and three, and they go in there on 0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:38.439 a Monday night and gain their first victory, and then 0:09:38.520 --> 0:09:40.760 I thought the other two games with Detroit, we're gonna 0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:42.920 be knocked down drag outs, and the Sixers handled them 0:09:42.920 --> 0:09:45.600 with these Now, Reggie Jackson missed some of that early 0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:48.160 portion of the season with the knee the Sixers have 0:09:48.240 --> 0:09:50.640 yet to face him. With Griffin and they're not going 0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:53.040 to face him tomorrow. I understand he's got a bone bruise. 0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:56.640 He's out, so Drummond and Jackson is back. They've actually 0:09:56.679 --> 0:09:59.040 played well of late. In fact, they just beat Brooklyn 0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:02.280 on Sunday. If Smith has performed, they're not an easy 0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:05.400 team to beat. I'm surprised, quite frankly that it didn't 0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:08.080 come together. Now. Obviously they've had their ups in their downs. 0:10:08.080 --> 0:10:10.439 They made a huge trade, and you got to think 0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:13.000 Blake Griffin going forward for them and stan Van Gundi 0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:15.840 will be very helpful. But it does not look like 0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:17.559 they're going to be able to get into the playoffs. 0:10:17.920 --> 0:10:20.640 And for the Sixers, you know, one game at a time. 0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:22.760 They got to take care of business to keep this 0:10:22.840 --> 0:10:26.040 streak alive right on the hills of Cleveland. Shaping up 0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:28.840 to be a monster game Friday, but it's not as 0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:31.400 big if they don't win the game tomorrow and go 0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:33.480 to Michigan. And I think the Sixers known that they've 0:10:33.480 --> 0:10:35.760 been acutely aware. That's what Brett Brown keeps saying. These 0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:38.760 guys are totally aware of the home court advantage. What 0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:41.760 they need to do and how to take an arrest 0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:44.640 situations in a game and win them. To me, that's 0:10:44.679 --> 0:10:48.200 one of the biggest things they've matured right before our 0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:50.319 eyes games during the early part of the season that 0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:53.520 would get away to Sixers, see a problem in a 0:10:53.559 --> 0:10:55.600 game and this is what coach was talking about prior 0:10:55.679 --> 0:10:58.120 to the game, and take care of it right then, 0:10:58.160 --> 0:11:00.760 whether it's rebounding or running a team off the line 0:11:00.840 --> 0:11:03.880 or this that of the other Simmons has been dominant 0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:06.960 and it's just been an amazing streak and the Sixers 0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:10.000 with one more opportunity tomorrow before coming back here against 0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:12.960 the Cavaliers. Well by Tom McGinnis. Tom talks to you tomorrow. 0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:15.560 Got it great to talk to you, Brian. Seventy Sixers 0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:18.360 knock off the Brooklyn Nets one twenty one to ninety five. 0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:21.040 Tom's highlight calls coming away on the other side, it's 0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:24.680 the postgame showing the Sixers Raider Network ninety seven five 0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:28.000 the Fanatic the back of this season for the seventy 0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:31.120 Sixers hosting the Brooklyn Nets tonight, It's off to Detroit 0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:33.800 for a game against the Pistons tomorrow. Here's how this 0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:36.880 one sounded, courtesy of the one and only Tom McGinnis 0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:39.400 Sixers and the Brooklyn Nets went back and forth in 0:11:39.440 --> 0:11:42.240 the early going. Sixers fell behind by as Manis five points, 0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:46.960 but Urson Iliasova helped trigger a response six rebounds. Now 0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:50.439 for Simmons, your sons same spot free ball fame resolve 0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:54.440 Iliosoma has put it in Simmons with the dish Sixers 0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:58.960 down league twenty five twenty two, and they would take 0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:01.960 a twenty twenty two to lead into the second quarter. 0:12:01.960 --> 0:12:05.200 Of the Sixers extended that run and they got a 0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:07.800 little bit of help off the bench Folds with a 0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:10.040 drive folds into the lake folds of the bellas Bank 0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:12.920 shot right at Spencer did with a hanging in the 0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:17.640 air and markul Folds Dangley left the right fades and 0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:21.400 scores it off the window that deposit cap Day sixteen. 0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:23.679 Nothing spurred for the Sixers, putting them up by eleven 0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:26.480 thirty three to twenty two, and in many ways that 0:12:26.640 --> 0:12:29.439 gave them control for the duration of the evening. Now, 0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:31.680 the Nets did come back a couple of times in 0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:35.280 the second quarter, slicing the deficit to two with about 0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:38.440 four minutes to go. In the first half, Ben Simmons 0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:40.360 was great at the outset of the first half, and 0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:43.600 he was also very impactful in the closing minutes. Ben 0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:45.800 dribbles in front of Countingham, turns on the Jets, keeps 0:12:45.800 --> 0:12:48.600 it right hand, lamp up and gun. Ben Simmons weaving 0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:51.680 through the bed court and getting the underhand right hand scoop. 0:12:52.080 --> 0:12:55.959 He's got a dozen plus nine rebounds. Sixers lead by 0:12:55.960 --> 0:12:59.240 eleven fifty seven forty six. They would go up by 0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:01.800 twelve at the half, sixty one to forty nine. In 0:13:01.840 --> 0:13:05.400 the third quarter, the Sixers sees command once again. Ben 0:13:05.480 --> 0:13:08.760 Simmons was right in the fray. Simmons gets it back, 0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:11.240 driving it down to night left hand scoop on. Jared 0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:14.120 Ellen is good. He climbs the ladder of the longhorn 0:13:14.320 --> 0:13:19.360 and scares the ball. Sixers were up sixty eight to fifty. 0:13:19.440 --> 0:13:21.200 We also saw a little bit in the third quarter 0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:24.040 of Ben Simmons playing alongside markul Foults. They did so 0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:25.719 for about three and a half minutes. Now was the 0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:30.040 first since Foltz's first four games of the season. Foultstan 0:13:30.480 --> 0:13:33.600 was in control the backcourt himself. At the end of 0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:36.959 period number three, Belloni tips up the fault Marquel on 0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:39.040 the run down the nine and round one man puts 0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:43.000 it up and good barquel fault qualt, impressive athletic crod 0:13:43.440 --> 0:13:47.240 out of foul and the crowd loves that equally as much. 0:13:47.960 --> 0:13:50.480 Help the Sixers to a ninety three seventy one lead 0:13:50.559 --> 0:13:54.040 going into the fourth quarter. Don't forget about TJ McConnell 0:13:54.120 --> 0:13:57.240 in the Sixers backcourt rotation. When he's been given minutes, 0:13:57.320 --> 0:14:00.880 he has delivered outlet. McConnell followed extended right side off 0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:02.680 the left hand bounce in the lane, off balance shop 0:14:02.760 --> 0:14:06.360 a good McConnell. He actually squared up in the air 0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:10.079 but was drifting right to left and McConnell scores it. 0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:13.000 They made it one on one seventy seven to nice 0:14:13.040 --> 0:14:15.840 embrace after that between t J McConnell and Brett Brown. 0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:18.319 The Sixers very much sensing at that early point of 0:14:18.360 --> 0:14:21.320 the fourth quarter that they had this one in hand 0:14:21.520 --> 0:14:25.120 and an eleventh straight victory in their sights, final lons. 0:14:25.160 --> 0:14:28.040 From the final statuet, the Sixers one twenty one ninety 0:14:28.080 --> 0:14:30.200 five winners over the nets of the Sixers shot fifty 0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:32.200 four and a half percent from the field, nine to 0:14:32.320 --> 0:14:35.000 twenty one from outside the arc. They were twelve of 0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:38.080 eighteen from the free throw line. They outrebounded the Brooklyn 0:14:38.200 --> 0:14:41.760 nets by twenty twenty eight assists for the seventy six 0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:45.160 Ers just ten turnovers. They outscored Brooklyn twenty one to 0:14:45.320 --> 0:14:48.200 five off turnovers. Brooklyn, you could tell early on they 0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:51.040 were going to live and die on the hill called 0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:54.440 three pointer. Seventeen of their thirty four baskets came from 0:14:54.480 --> 0:14:57.040 outside the arc, and more than half of their eighty 0:14:57.080 --> 0:15:01.320 one field goal attempts were from three. If you have makers, great, 0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:04.960 If not well, you put yourself at risk, and that 0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:08.240 was indeed the case tonight. Sixers dominated in side sixty 0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:10.400 two to thirty two in terms of points and on 0:15:10.520 --> 0:15:13.280 the break eighteen to nine. Individual notes. Sixers had eight 0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:16.560 players finished in double figures, leaving the way JJ Reddick 0:15:16.600 --> 0:15:19.280 with nineteen eight to fifteen from the field, just one 0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:23.160 three pointer needed for him, seventeen points for Marco Belinelli 0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:27.280 on seven of eleven shooting.

He is the second rookie ever to reach 0:15:30.120 --> 0:15:33.680 twelve hundred points, six hundred rebounds, and six hundred assists 0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:36.360 in a single season. The other Oscar Robinson for the 0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:40.000 Cincinnati Royals back in nineteen sixty nineteen sixty one. The 0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:41.640 only other six Er to hit those marks in a 0:15:41.680 --> 0:15:45.640 single season, regardless of experience, was a man named Wilt Chamberlain. 0:15:45.680 --> 0:15:48.840 He did it twice. Robert Covington was awesome on both 0:15:48.960 --> 0:15:52.240 ends of the court plus twenty two twelve point six rebounds, 0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:57.320 four steals and three blocked shots, eleven points thirteen rebounds 0:15:57.400 --> 0:16:00.760 for Urson, Iliasova, Rashaun Holmes with eleven and ten points 0:16:00.800 --> 0:16:04.440 apiece for Mark el Foltz and TJ.

Let's scan the Eastern Conference scoreboard 0:16:23.680 --> 0:16:25.840 as shall we, And there are a lot of games 0:16:25.880 --> 0:16:30.960 because there were none last night in evolving postseason hopefuls, 0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:35.360 and we will scan them as follows. Milwaukee the eighth 0:16:35.440 --> 0:16:39.040 seed leading Boston eighty six eighty two. About eight minutes 0:16:39.040 --> 0:16:42.080 ago on the fourth quarter. Boston entered today two games 0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:45.040 back of Toronto for the top spot in the Eastern Conference. 0:16:45.280 --> 0:16:48.080 The Washington Wizards a noteworthy team. They are the sixth 0:16:48.200 --> 0:16:51.960 seed right now and they are being blown out at Houston, 0:16:52.040 --> 0:16:56.840 even with john wall one o two to eighty five. Also, 0:16:57.120 --> 0:17:00.720 Indiana right behind the seventy sixers by a game, trailing 0:17:00.840 --> 0:17:03.080 Denver thirty nine to thirty six with about four and 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:05.480 a half minutes ago in the first half.

With a win and a Calve's lost, and 0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:33.240 the Sixers could have leapt into the third place spot. 0:17:33.640 --> 0:17:36.119 That did not happen.
