Speaker 1: and analysis from the seventy sixers previous game. A tremendous
Speaker 1: effort down the stretch by Joel and Bead helping the
Speaker 1: seventy Sixers fend off the pesky Washington Wizards one oh
Speaker 1: seven to ninety eight. I'm Brian Seltzer's second win in
Speaker 1: a row for the seventy Sixers. Ben Simmons unable to
Speaker 1: finish the game due to an injury to his left
Speaker 1: knee that occurred late in the third quarter, but Joel
Speaker 1: Embiid finishing with twenty nine and eleven, herculean effort down
Speaker 1: the stretch, shake Milton Tobias Harris with some other key contributions,
Speaker 1: and the seventy Sixers get the victory. Believe we have
Speaker 1: Brett Brown at the postgame zoom right now. I think
Speaker 1: that you know the turnovers in previous years and fourth
Speaker 1: periods where I think and it gets a little bit swathy.
Speaker 1: I think he's delivered. I think that he's along with
Speaker 1: his decisions at a post in general, and I especially
Speaker 1: see it in punch time playing more than I don't.
Speaker 1: He has to he has to get credit become an
Speaker 1: India with the fitness base, and we talked about and
Speaker 1: I think it is carry over from the work that
Speaker 1: he's done from what I've seen so far. Right, thanks coach.
Speaker 1: All right, next we're going to Jack Brett. That game
Speaker 1: was very rough. I saw Joel hit the ground at
Speaker 1: least five or six times. One time, he get hit
Speaker 1: in the hip, Burke's got up slow one time. Is
Speaker 1: that of danger against a team like like the Wizards
Speaker 1: that really have nothing to play for you? Did you
Speaker 1: see it the way that I was able to say that?
Speaker 1: Did you see that it was particularly rough? And might
Speaker 1: you even think about recommending to Joel don't hit the
Speaker 1: floor quite as as often as he hit the floor
Speaker 1: of car five or six times tonight. I'm gonna say
Speaker 1: something that sounds funny, but I've learned this watching players
Speaker 1: they hit the floor. He actually knows how to fall.
Speaker 1: Tony Parker knew how to fall. Tonny Parker was on
Speaker 1: in the paint on the floor his whole career when
Speaker 1: I was with him, And so it sounds like a
Speaker 1: funny thing to praise somebody on, but he really actually
Speaker 1: knows how to fall. I think it's important go back
Speaker 1: to the big picture of what you're asking. For sure,
Speaker 1: it was a it was a physical game all over
Speaker 1: the place. They roll out athletes that attract stars. You know,
Speaker 1: to day here in the bubble. They're the fastest team
Speaker 1: in the NBA. They played with that pace. I thought
Speaker 1: we did a pretty good job. I think you onlyan
Speaker 1: had nine fast rate points. But there they were physical,
Speaker 1: and they were running and they would crash the boards.
Speaker 1: We did a better job, and we'll speaking about out
Speaker 1: wolf in a moment. We did a better job of
Speaker 1: rebounding later, We did a better job of moving our
Speaker 1: feet and trying to just contain the ball later. At
Speaker 1: the start, there were so many rim scores, And I
Speaker 1: think it falls into your bass question of like attacked, physical, aggressive,
Speaker 1: like they did it on offense, they did it on defense,
Speaker 1: and they were hard for us to defend to the
Speaker 1: large majority of the game. All right, Brett, thanks, let's
Speaker 1: go to Gary Washburn. Um. Then we don't know. I'm
Speaker 1: sure the club will make some announcement about fends departure
Speaker 1: from the court. He left the court soon. But as
Speaker 1: far as like knowing more than that, I really don't.
Speaker 1: Um um. Obviously very curious to hear what that news is.
Speaker 1: Seventy six Ers head coach Brett Brown after today's victory
Speaker 1: over the Washington Wizards. Seventy Sixers able to get the
Speaker 1: job done one oh seven ninety eight, but Ben Simmons
Speaker 1: suffers an injury late in the third quarter. He did
Speaker 1: not return, and as you just heard Brett Brown say,
Speaker 1: the team is standing by awaiting to find out more.
Speaker 1: Joel Embiid, after Ben Simmons went out with his injury,
Speaker 1: was outstanding down the stretch in the final let's say
Speaker 1: thirteen minutes of regulation, Embad scoring the final eighteen of
Speaker 1: his twenty nine points in today's game. He had tough jumpers,
Speaker 1: got to the free throw line. When the seventy Sixers
Speaker 1: needed to boost, Joel Embiid was there to carry the load.
Speaker 1: Sprinkled within to Bias Harris, Josh Richardson, Shake Milton making
Speaker 1: some place. There was one sequence in the middle of
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter when Shake scored five consecutive points. He
Speaker 1: also had a potentially at that point in time and
Speaker 1: ended up being games saving block, chasing down Ish Smith
Speaker 1: in the open court, making a fantastic chaked down block
Speaker 1: to help the seventy Sixers save the game. Another great
Speaker 1: effort by Shake Milton as he finished with fourteen points,
Speaker 1: four to seven from the field, three of five from
Speaker 1: outside the arc, four assists for the second year seventy
Speaker 1: sixer who's looked really good the last two games after
Speaker 1: the restart opener last Saturday against the Indiana Pacers, Sixers
Speaker 1: got ten points off the bench from fur Con Corkmas,
Speaker 1: nine from Alec Burkes to Bias Harris finished with seventeen.
Speaker 1: As I mentioned Shake Milton double figures. Josh Richardson ended
Speaker 1: the game with fifteen. Ben Simmons played only twenty three minutes.
Speaker 1: He finished with eight points, six rebounds, and four assists.
Speaker 1: The big question for the seventy Sixers that's going to
Speaker 1: loom until we get any sort of resolution is what's
Speaker 1: the deal with Ben Simmons in the short term in
Speaker 1: the long term. But what we know right now Joel
Speaker 1: Embiide winning a playing at a level capable of carrying
Speaker 1: his team, and he showed that in the final moments
Speaker 1: and down the stretch of this one today seventy six
Speaker 1: Ers now forty one and twenty seven overall this year,
Speaker 1: and the Washington Wizards on the outside looking in of
Speaker 1: playoff contention. Inside the bubble, they're now twenty four and
Speaker 1: forty four. We joined Tom mc ginnis now who called
Speaker 1: today's game. Tom. Joel Embiid has been fantastic. Obviously, the
Speaker 1: subplot here that's on most people's minds, what's going to
Speaker 1: happen with Ben Simmons. But Joe in his three games,
Speaker 1: averaging just under thirty three points per game and slightly
Speaker 1: above thirteen and a half rebounds, he's been terrific. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he has, and they needed him tonight, certainly. Slogging through
Speaker 1: that third quarter a little bit, the Wizards took that
Speaker 1: five point lead. Brian Joel did not score in the
Speaker 1: first eleven minutes of that third quarter and then came
Speaker 1: on and scored seven of the last eight and contributed
Speaker 1: mightily to that sixteen to one run that's sandwiched the
Speaker 1: end of the third end of the fourth, and to me,
Speaker 1: that's the part of the game where the Sixers put
Speaker 1: the game out of reach and then shake Milton and
Speaker 1: to Bias stepped up with baskets into a stretch where
Speaker 1: they all three of them combined for thirty four to
Speaker 1: thirty seven points, as we noted earlier, but no doubt
Speaker 1: they needed him, and you know, quite frankly, you know
Speaker 1: he should have scored because there were times that is
Speaker 1: Smith was guarding him, you know, so he was sitting
Speaker 1: turn around seventeen footers And quite frankly, this was a
Speaker 1: struggle for the Sixers throughout much of this game. And
Speaker 1: you hate to say it, but the phrase playing down
Speaker 1: to the competition, I think comes to the four a
Speaker 1: little bit. And they pulled away and they gained the victory.
Speaker 1: It's their second in a row. And then, as you say,
Speaker 1: you know, certainly concerned over the condition of Ben Simmons
Speaker 1: and that he did not return any limped out of
Speaker 1: the facility following while his eggs that he actually left
Speaker 1: prior to the game ending. But that certainly castle Paul
Speaker 1: a little bit over this victory. Seventy Sixers fend off
Speaker 1: the Wizards one oh seven to ninety eight. Tom one
Speaker 1: of the themes coming into today's game seventy Sixers defense
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. You know, that was one of
Speaker 1: their stronger defensive stretches in certain spots, especially late, the
Speaker 1: Sixers were able to fend off Washington and close the
Speaker 1: door there they did, and they only gave up forty
Speaker 1: seven points at the half. So you're like, what's wrong
Speaker 1: with the defense? Well, what was concerning was a lot
Speaker 1: of different players, Troy Brown, Ish Smith, Robinson, Bonga not
Speaker 1: known as a driver. They were driving in and getting
Speaker 1: layups and they're you know, the bulk of the Wizards
Speaker 1: points at one stage came from the paint and in
Speaker 1: the end the Sixers were able to tighten it down.
Speaker 1: And again, Brian, this is a team that's missing you know,
Speaker 1: two for sure, it's two all stars in terms of
Speaker 1: Wall and Beal and Burton's who had been one of
Speaker 1: their best players. So you know they're playing a bunch
Speaker 1: of against a young group, say for ish Smith, and
Speaker 1: you know shut them down defense of who well they
Speaker 1: should have, and they did enough to hold them off,
Speaker 1: holding them below one hundred points. But it's got to
Speaker 1: get a lot better throughout the forty eight and it's
Speaker 1: got to start Friday against the Orlando Magic. Seventy sixers
Speaker 1: knock off the Wizards. When I was seven ninety eight,
Speaker 1: what do you think of that? Shake? Milton block chasing
Speaker 1: down is Smith Tom Well, that was great and Shake
Speaker 1: has length at six five, and no doubt he had
Speaker 1: been I think a little inspired by Ish getting him
Speaker 1: at the other end of the court. And Shake ends
Speaker 1: up with fourteen points. He makes three threes, he has
Speaker 1: four assists, two rebounds in twenty seven minutes. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's solid right there. Josh Richardson f fifteen to Bias
Speaker 1: had seventeen corkmas ten off the bench. Horford only two points,
Speaker 1: just five shots but ten rebounds, and Coach Brown saying
Speaker 1: he was going to go with only nine guys and
Speaker 1: he did. Netto was the odd man out here, and
Speaker 1: Alec Burks came off the bench with nine so eleven
Speaker 1: threes thirty eight percent for the Sixers. They missed nine
Speaker 1: free throws and shoot forty six percent. I thought Shake
Speaker 1: played well and so we'll see what happens with Simmons
Speaker 1: going forward. But yeah, the Sixers have got to find
Speaker 1: a way in Orlando. I mean they suffered a big
Speaker 1: blow themselves with Jonathan Isaac. I mentioned this because it's
Speaker 1: the next opponent, but they have been playing really well
Speaker 1: during the restart, so that by no stretch is an
Speaker 1: easy game against the Magic Friday. Tom mc ginnis, thanks
Speaker 1: much for the insights and thoughts after the game. We
Speaker 1: will talk on Friday, all right, Good night, Brian. Seventy
Speaker 1: Sixers victorious over the Washington Wizards one oh seven or
Speaker 1: ninety eight. Sixers got a big finish from Joel Embi, who,
Speaker 1: as Tom said, scored the final batch of his points
Speaker 1: eighteen out of his twenty nine in the final thirteen
Speaker 1: minutes of regulation. The seventy sixers needed that today given
Speaker 1: what happened with Ben Simmons. He left the game early
Speaker 1: towards the end of the third quarter. Timetable for his
Speaker 1: status unknown at this time. We'll just have to stand
Speaker 1: by and wait for any word that comes from the
Speaker 1: team in the days ahead. Seventeen for Tobias Harris, another
Speaker 1: good game for Shake Milton, who added fourteen, four and
Speaker 1: two to his line today. Josh Richardson with fifteen fur
Speaker 1: Concork Miles with ten off the bench defense was able
Speaker 1: to clamp down the seventy sixers. They really were in
Speaker 1: quite the tight tussle with Washington for a little bit,
Speaker 1: but they pulled away when it mattered most, which was
Speaker 1: down the stretch in the fourth. Seventy sixers mission today
Speaker 1: was to build on the momentum they created in a
Speaker 1: last second on Monday over the Spurs. This afternoon, they
Speaker 1: had the Washington Wizard's shake Milton with a great play
Speaker 1: to end the first quarter to make sure the seventy
Speaker 1: Sixers would stay in front, and that field goes good
Speaker 1: by Robinson. He's got seven, Sixers lead by three, two
Speaker 1: seconds to go. Here's shake for three at the end
Speaker 1: of the first and that's good. So with that the
Speaker 1: Sixers go up twenty six to twenty Sixers would look
Speaker 1: to add that lead in the second quarter. When they
Speaker 1: got it two double figures Robinson, in his second pro season,
Speaker 1: first with the Wizards out of Boston College, Simmons steals
Speaker 1: it ahead to Harris. He's got one man to beat
Speaker 1: and he gets a scoop lamp up and good at
Speaker 1: a time, I'll take it by the Wizards. One thing
Speaker 1: that really helped the seventy sixers Harris made it forty
Speaker 1: eight thirty seven right there, was that they would build
Speaker 1: on their lead without Joel Embiad on the court in
Speaker 1: the second quarter. They went in a half time with
Speaker 1: an advantage of fifty four to forty seven in the
Speaker 1: third quarter. Ben Simmons goes out late with the left
Speaker 1: knee injury. He did not return to Bias Harris maintained
Speaker 1: a level of aggression. Joel Embiid, though, things to a
Speaker 1: new level. Sixers on the move with nine seconds they
Speaker 1: go in the third quarter leading by one. They could
Speaker 1: add to it. They're trying to go to a bead.
Speaker 1: They got a hustle five to go in the third.
Speaker 1: They feed Juell here comes to double. He's actually tripled
Speaker 1: the turns he shot. The scores if bead was seventh
Speaker 1: straight here in the end of the third quarter, and
Speaker 1: that was in a span of just seventy five seconds.
Speaker 1: The Sixers, because of Himbad, had a seventy seven seventy
Speaker 1: four lead heading into the fourth. There was a big
Speaker 1: three that Tobias Harris hit to put the seventy Sixers
Speaker 1: up eight two minutes into the fourth. It felt like
Speaker 1: a big three because it gave the Sixers some breathing
Speaker 1: room against the very pesky Washington Wizards team dwell. Embiad
Speaker 1: was on fire in the fourth quarter, and he made
Speaker 1: sure the seventy Sixers didn't lose their advantage. Shake Milton
Speaker 1: in the mix as well. Sixers can't create a little
Speaker 1: more space here on the scoreboard with a basket and
Speaker 1: bead is in the game. Shake with the ball tripped
Speaker 1: up up enough side by is Schmith, but regains his balance,
Speaker 1: shoots a fade away and in five in a row
Speaker 1: by Milton, Milton making in a nine point game ninety
Speaker 1: seven to eighty eight. When it came to closing time,
Speaker 1: Joel Embiid was there to shut the door. They need
Speaker 1: to add a little cushion here. Shake build up the
Speaker 1: high screen by Joel. Shake throws it back to a
Speaker 1: b to beat guarded by Ish, starts to back down,
Speaker 1: turn seventeen foot fade and it's good. It beat now ten.
Speaker 1: Field goals twenty five points and this the final basket
Speaker 1: on what was a great day for the big man.
Speaker 1: Ret Brown wants the Sixers to spread the four with
Speaker 1: ten to shoot twenty five to go, leading by a half,
Speaker 1: but doesn't. They go to a Bad and Bad picks
Speaker 1: up his dribble. He goes to Thibalds in the game,
Speaker 1: back to Joel and it beats. Slams it ball game. Indeed,
Speaker 1: it was the ball game. Joel Embiad with the very
Speaker 1: definitive punctuation, sending the seventy six Ers to a one
Speaker 1: oh seven ninety eight win. Sixers shot forty six and
Speaker 1: a half percent for the game, held the Wizards to
Speaker 1: forty two and a half percent, like the Wizards only
Speaker 1: scoring twenty four points in the fourth quarter. After the
Speaker 1: way things went in the fourth the first two games
Speaker 1: for the Sixers, Sixers with an advantage from outside the
Speaker 1: arc that definitely held them. They were eleven for twenty
Speaker 1: nine from three. Washington was just seven of twenty one.
Speaker 1: The Sixers were minus seven on the glass. They committed
Speaker 1: fourteen turnovers. Washington had fifteen in the game. Joel Embiid
Speaker 1: led all scores. Now, if you look at the box
Speaker 1: score currently, you would probably see thirty points for Embiid.
Speaker 1: There has been a discrepancy, as we are told, and
Speaker 1: beat officially finishing with twenty nine points in the game.
Speaker 1: Who cares either way, It was pretty darn impressive. He
Speaker 1: had eleven rebounds, three assists, three steals, and two block shots.
Speaker 1: Shake Milton with fourteen points. He was three for five
Speaker 1: from outside the arc, four for seven from the field,
Speaker 1: two rebounds and four assists. Seventeen points. For Tobias harris
Speaker 1: On eight of eighteen, shooting six rebounds for him, fifteen
Speaker 1: for Josh Richardson to go with three assists in the game,
Speaker 1: ten for Concork Miles off the bench, who knocked down
Speaker 1: two three pointers. Al Horford big on the defensive boards,
Speaker 1: he had ten of him. He also had five assists.
Speaker 1: He was plus eighteen and nearly thirty minutes with Ben
Speaker 1: Simmons having to leave early. Al Horfor it's certainly stepping
Speaker 1: up and helping the seventy sixers on the glass. The
Speaker 1: Sixers improved to two and one in Orlando. They're now
Speaker 1: forty one and twenty seven overall. Washington remains winless in
Speaker 1: Disney World. Their record overall is twenty four and forty four.
Speaker 1: They're essentially elimited, eliminated from the contention for the eighth
Speaker 1: spot in the Eastern Conference. Up next for the seventy
Speaker 1: six Ers a six thirty game on Friday against the
Speaker 1: Orlando Magic, the current eighth seed in the East. You've
Speaker 1: been listening to Rewind, look out for fresh episodes the
Speaker 1: day after every seventy six Ers game this season.
