Speaker 2: The start of the seventy six Ers postgame show presented
Speaker 2: by Parks Casino. Matt Murphy, I'll be joined by Tom McGuinness.
Speaker 2: We'll hope to hear from Nick Nurse as we always
Speaker 2: do postgame after one nineteen one fourteen loss to the
Speaker 2: Wizards in their return from the six game road trip,
Speaker 2: They've got a back to back coming up at home,
Speaker 2: which we'll talk about throughout our postgame coverage here. It's
Speaker 2: Saturday and Sunday night, Miami and Toronto coming in tonight.
Speaker 2: Alex Sar, the number two overall pick, leads all scorers
Speaker 2: with twenty four points for Washington, who the final score
Speaker 2: looks a lot closer than it was down the stretch.
Speaker 2: Credit the Sixers effort for losing by five. The end
Speaker 2: of the game took. The final couple of minutes took
Speaker 2: a while for, among other things, a goaltending review, some
Speaker 2: pre throws mixed in, but the Sixers were down fourteen
Speaker 2: with four minutes left and got within a couple of points,
Speaker 2: but due fall one nineteen one fourteen. I'm sure we'll
Speaker 2: probably hit on this a couple times throughout our postgame coverage,
Speaker 2: and Tom talked about it as well. But a hugely
Speaker 2: successful night for the brick and for Chicken campaign and
Speaker 2: a reminder to our fans that it's Brickin for Chicken time.

Speaker 2: in the game were Justin Champenni of Washington ten rebounds
Speaker 2: with his eighteen points for a double double. Also ten
Speaker 2: rebounds for Justin of the sixers, Justin Edwards he had
Speaker 2: nineteen points, so very similar double doubles for both of
Speaker 2: those players. Assists wise, it was Jordan Poole with a
Speaker 2: game high seven assist to go with his eighteen points.
Speaker 2: He was a plus twenty, so a couple points below
Speaker 2: his season average as their leading scorer. But Jordan Pool,
Speaker 2: the former champion with the Warriors, had seven assists with
Speaker 2: eighteen points and a good all around game well time
Speaker 2: threes for the visiting Wizards. Tristan Buchevich had seventeen off
Speaker 2: the bench for them, Jalen Martin had twelve, which is
Speaker 2: an NBA career high. All five Sixers starters in double figures,
Speaker 2: led by Quentin Grimes as twenty two, Kershaon Yabuseles twenty
Speaker 2: one Edwards with the nineteen thirteen for Ricky Council the
Speaker 2: fourth and eleven for starting point guard jeft Douton Junior.
Speaker 2: Jared Butler had fourteen as a reserve, but four more
Speaker 2: threes for the Wizards eighteen of forty four, which is
Speaker 2: forty one percent compared to the Sixers fourteen of forty six,
Speaker 2: which is thirty percent. Let's jump on with Tom before
Speaker 2: or as we wait four Nick Nurse's postgame availability. But Tom,
Speaker 2: your instant takeaway other than all the misfree throws for
Speaker 2: Washington which led to an abundance of Chick fil A nuggets?
Speaker 2: Your takeaways from this game that featured a lot of
Speaker 2: different characters and guys taking advantage of the opportunity.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they ended up with eighteen threes, but their
Speaker 3: start they made nine in the opening quarter, and by
Speaker 3: them making those threes, it kind of staked them to
Speaker 3: a lead that they did relinquish, but never in total,
Speaker 3: they racked up forty five points in the first quarter,
Speaker 3: holding the Sixers to twenty seven, and that big advantage
Speaker 3: was one that was able to provide them enough of
Speaker 3: a cushion really to hold on. Sixers made it interesting
Speaker 3: down the stretch. But yeah, they missed seven free throws,
Speaker 3: but in the end they made eighteen of forty four,
Speaker 3: so they shot fewer threes but made more. They ended
Speaker 3: up shooting forty one percent from the field from three,
Speaker 3: and I think you'd take that every single night.
Speaker 1: Right certainly.
Speaker 2: And this I'm being told is the first twelve count
Speaker 2: because of those misfree throws since Jannis and the ladder
Speaker 2: and him coming out postgame to practice his free throws.
Speaker 2: They actually have the ladder out there right now on
Speaker 2: the court at the basket to the right. But that
Speaker 2: was the last time the twelve count has hit. Justin
Speaker 2: edwards right now. We've talked a lot about who else
Speaker 2: on the Sixers side were you impressed with.
Speaker 3: Well, Yabu was very effective early on, and then like
Speaker 3: I said, it seems like Quentin Grimes. Now he was
Speaker 3: held under twenty eighty at eighth straight with twenty eight
Speaker 3: or more, but he's still got twenty two points. You know,
Speaker 3: he made six field goals, four of which were threes.
Speaker 3: He made all of his free throws, he ends up
Speaker 3: getting kind of get him his every single game grimes.
Speaker 3: He did that in thirty three minutes. So those three
Speaker 3: guys led the Sixers. Ricky kind of came on strong
Speaker 3: down the stretch. Deared Butler made four threes, and you
Speaker 3: know that was kind of Bona played. I thought Bona
Speaker 3: played well. He played twenty three minutes. He had three
Speaker 3: field goals, six rebounds, and one thing. You know, even
Speaker 3: though sometimes Bona or even any big like if they
Speaker 3: challenge shots and make it known that they're going after
Speaker 3: they're gonna contest shot, that's a big message right there
Speaker 3: and can be largely effective on defense. And I thought
Speaker 3: Bona was that kind of presence for the Sixers on d.
Speaker 2: We do have to talk about Justin Edwards though, because
Speaker 2: if you look through this box score, five steals with
Speaker 2: nineteen points and ten rebounds, that's his first NBA double double.
Speaker 2: But the defense too with the five steals is impressive.
Speaker 2: How about that stat line nineteen ten and five.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, for sure, it'd be interesting to see with
Speaker 3: a full compliment, like you know, you have to think
Speaker 3: at this stage, you know next year, because it's one
Speaker 3: of those things, it's like a byproduct of what happened
Speaker 3: this year. I don't you know, probably he wasn't playing
Speaker 3: much at all at the beginning, but because of how
Speaker 3: the season ended up with the injuries and the plane
Speaker 3: opportunity for him, you know, the Sixers found him and
Speaker 3: that's sometime a diamond in the rough sort of thing
Speaker 3: is what happens. And for him it's an amazing thing,
Speaker 3: but no doubt about it. And uh, you know, he
Speaker 3: had those two attempts late downstretch from.
Speaker 1: Point that's how he got the double double.
Speaker 2: You know, he ended up with five offensive rebounds in
Speaker 2: this game, and I think three of them were on
Speaker 2: two or three were on that one play, So five
Speaker 2: of his ten rebounds were on the offensive glass. Late
Speaker 2: he kept coming up short on the right side of
Speaker 2: the basket, but.
Speaker 3: Sire was right there. It's not like he was blowing
Speaker 3: to you know, a bunny. He was close, but again
Speaker 3: Alex Sayer was taking a swipe at those. So now
Speaker 3: he's been very impressive and I know Coach Nurse likes him.
Speaker 3: And then more and more you hear coach talk about
Speaker 3: him you understand what he likes, because then you you
Speaker 3: take that information. And speaking of coach, he's speaking right now.
Speaker 3: Let's see if we can tune in with Nick Nurse
Speaker 3: at the podium.
Speaker 4: I have six minutes. They had a ton I think
Speaker 4: a time out. I told him on pace to score
Speaker 4: fifty and they almost got there by throwing that three
Speaker 4: in at the end of the quarter. From then on
Speaker 4: it was a little bit better, but that, you know,
Speaker 4: just the start. Defensively, Transition thought a lot of a
Speaker 4: lot of wide open shots in the first quarter. They
Speaker 4: almost were most begging us to take threes and seemed
Speaker 4: like we almost had to take them, and then we
Speaker 4: didn't hit any of them early and they were out
Speaker 4: in Transition, chased it uphill for most of the game,
Speaker 4: closed it down a couple of times, got away from
Speaker 4: us again, closed down a little bit at the end,
Speaker 4: but really all about the start of the game, didn't
Speaker 4: feel like we were moving great started the game. I
Speaker 4: guess I would you kind of tell the guy like Ricky, like,
Speaker 4: are you happy with the shots that he was taking
Speaker 4: tonight or what's there maybe something you know, like like
Speaker 4: I think the catch and shoot threes most of them
Speaker 4: are Okay, once in a while, it gets a little
Speaker 4: deep in that slot. You know, I think that's that's
Speaker 4: probably a little deep again, just from an efficient sea standpoint,
Speaker 4: some of the some of the turnaround jumpers twelve to
Speaker 4: fourteen feet are pretty high degree of difficulty and pretty
Speaker 4: low efficiency shots. Don't don't don't love those, And really
Speaker 4: trying to get him to push the ball and transition
Speaker 4: more and getting the paint and make a play, you know,
Speaker 4: really trying to get him to do that more than
Speaker 4: once or twice a game. You know, been stressing that
Speaker 4: to him because it's one thing he's really good at.
Speaker 4: But yeah, he's had some he's had some really erratic
Speaker 4: shooting nights. He's had he had a great one the
Speaker 4: other night, but a couple sandwiched around a couple really
Speaker 4: erratic ones. And I think he's I think he's better
Speaker 4: shooter than that, but he's he's really had a tough
Speaker 4: time getting the ball to go in the basket.
Speaker 3: This year.
Speaker 1: Looked like he was kind of moving a little bit
Speaker 1: better at the night.
Speaker 5: Dude, kind of sense that he's kind of getting better,
Speaker 5: Like after.
Speaker 4: The last couple, last couple, he certainly moved moved better
Speaker 4: after kind of a long stretch of strugg going again.
Speaker 4: But yeah, I think he had a game off in
Speaker 4: there somewhere and was able to get three or four
Speaker 4: days rest and just good to see him. I think
Speaker 4: scoring at the basket a little bit more because he
Speaker 4: was doing that like almost automatic early in the year,
Speaker 4: and then obviously the picking pops he had going a
Speaker 4: little bit tonight too.
Speaker 3: He learned about Quentin in this more ball domin and
Speaker 3: high usage role that he's in.
Speaker 4: Well, he can get his shots off right, Like he
Speaker 4: can really create his own shots. He can he can stop,
Speaker 4: start and vault up and get clearance, pretty physical with
Speaker 4: the ball to He's good at whatever, shoulder hitting, slight
Speaker 4: push off maybe again getting space. Little little bit like
Speaker 4: I'm still trying to figure out when he's exactly going
Speaker 4: to pull the triggers on the threes. Sometimes it seems
Speaker 4: like when it gets swung and he's wide open. He
Speaker 4: like we had one tonight where he caught it and
Speaker 4: he was wide opening, He's like, oh man, I'm opening,
Speaker 4: didn't shoot it, and then he sat there for a
Speaker 4: second shot it totally guarded and switched it right. So
Speaker 4: a little bit a little bit trying to get the
Speaker 4: rhythm of when he's gonna pulled out some of those.
Speaker 4: But again, I think I think the three balls creating
Speaker 4: his own offense, and I do I do like his
Speaker 4: explosiveness downhill, like he vaults up and goes into makes contact,
Speaker 4: kind of keeps elevating after he makes contact and gets
Speaker 4: gets to the line pretty good and knows and finishes
Speaker 4: some of those.
Speaker 5: I think you're talking about with hesitating a little bit
Speaker 5: on three. Do you think any of that is just
Speaker 5: that he knows that he's gonna have a lot of
Speaker 5: opportunities right now, and so maybe he's thinking, I'm gonna
Speaker 5: get other guys involve and hunt a little bit, rather
Speaker 5: than when he's playing in that pure spot up roll
Speaker 5: off of Tyres and other guys.
Speaker 4: It felt like then, yeah, I think I think maybe yeah.
Speaker 4: I almost think that he knows he's got a lot
Speaker 4: of attention on him, and it's almost he's super surprised
Speaker 4: when he gets comes off a screen and he's like
Speaker 4: wide open. I just I think he's always thinking there's one,
Speaker 4: possibly one and I half two guys going to be
Speaker 4: lunging out at him. And I think that's probably a
Speaker 4: little I've noticed that he he seems like he's ready
Speaker 4: for for double teams and blitzes and things when he's
Speaker 4: handling a little bit. So maybe maybe that's part of
Speaker 4: it too. I don't know, I'll talk to him about it.
Speaker 3: That was the coach.
Speaker 5: But the early start they had in terms of the threes,
Speaker 5: how much was a sessence, was what they wanted to run?
Speaker 5: How much was that was effective health?
Speaker 3: Is that why they were so effective? Really they wanted
Speaker 3: to do what they wanted to do at that first quarter.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I think most of it just had
Speaker 4: to do with us just not quite moving great to
Speaker 4: start right. It just felt like again when they drive
Speaker 4: the ball, that was like by us, right, our are
Speaker 4: are impacting the body on drive. We were just off
Speaker 4: off our guys, you know, a step, step and a
Speaker 4: half and they just had freedom, you know a lot
Speaker 4: of freedom to get get in the lane and then
Speaker 4: that's going to cause a chain reaction of movement for
Speaker 4: the rest of your defense. Uh. Some of it was
Speaker 4: in transition as well. Some of it was you know,
Speaker 4: just straight picking pops with sorrow that you know, we
Speaker 4: didn't again execute defensively very well either. Again, I think
Speaker 4: I think more of it was just attention to detail
Speaker 4: and attention to making sure we got out to the shooters.
Speaker 4: I think we were we were kind of playing let's
Speaker 4: hope they miss rather than let's make them miss, you
Speaker 4: know what I mean.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So, all right, there's Nick Nurse on the Parks
Speaker 2: Casino postgame show after the Wizards beat the Sixers tonight
Speaker 2: in Philadelphia one nineteen one fourteen. That first quarter that
Speaker 2: we've been talking about was the Wizards forty five the
Speaker 2: Sixers twenty nine with the nine threes for Washington along
Speaker 2: with Tom McGuinness Matt Murphy here and tough to overcome
Speaker 2: that first quarter. Now you go into the final back
Speaker 2: to back of the season and it's on home court
Speaker 2: with a couple of seven thirty games. On Saturday against Miami,
Speaker 2: Sunday against Toronto. They're the teams that are kind of
Speaker 2: just ahead of you by a little comfortable margin in
Speaker 2: the standings. The Heat had the last play in, but
Speaker 2: then the Raptors, who are going to beat Brooklyn tonight,
Speaker 2: they're up twenty six early in the fourth quarter in
Speaker 2: New York. But what are your thoughts on the upcoming
Speaker 2: set of games. It's the last one consecutively.
Speaker 3: I you know, I can't recall a time when Miami
Speaker 3: struggled like this. They lost those ten games in a row.
Speaker 2: And they just beat Jimmy in the highly anticipated Warriors
Speaker 2: Heat game in Miami yesterday.
Speaker 3: The game that stopped their streak. I believe Wiggins had
Speaker 3: forty one, right, So that'll be unusual to watch Andrew
Speaker 3: or Andrew Wiggins with the heat, right. Hero look good,
Speaker 3: Bam always seems good.
Speaker 1: Their rookie ware has been really good. Center.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he did last night. I watched some of the
Speaker 3: game he did. He looked really good. So with great length,
Speaker 3: but yeah, that'll be it'll be difficult. So we'll see.
Speaker 3: Two days off I think probably well needed for the
Speaker 3: Sixers in that coming back and playing so quickly after
Speaker 3: the the road trip to be able to get a
Speaker 3: day and then you know, prep a little bit for
Speaker 3: the heat and then Toronto. Those those are big game
Speaker 3: in terms of the standings.
Speaker 2: Right in that Brooklyn Toronto game tonight, Perle was dnp Rest,
Speaker 2: quickly was dnp Rest. Brooklyn didn't play Cam Johnson for Rest,
Speaker 2: and it does look like Toronto is going to win.
Speaker 3: Yeah, up to six.
Speaker 2: I like their chances, which will keep Brooklyn and the
Speaker 2: Sixers with the same record, which is now twenty three
Speaker 2: and fifty.
Speaker 3: But didn't you say something about.
Speaker 2: Division record is what comes into play for the tie breakers.
Speaker 2: So that's why every time you look at the standings,
Speaker 2: Brooklyn stays ahead of the Sixers because they at last
Speaker 2: check had a better record against Atlantic Division opponents. Because
Speaker 2: head to head is two to two this season between
Speaker 2: the Sixers and the Nets.
Speaker 3: It'll be interesting, that's for sure.
Speaker 2: So it's the tenth and eleventh place Eastern Conference teams
Speaker 2: though in Miami and Toronto that will be coming in
Speaker 2: here this weekend. But two nights without a game for
Speaker 2: the Sixers before then, and tonight they fall to the
Speaker 2: Wizards one nineteen one fourteen time againess, thank you as always,
Speaker 2: all right, five point loss for the Sixers. We've got
Speaker 2: more to come postgame, including the big welcome sign right
Speaker 2: now has the logo for the flagship of the Sixers
Speaker 2: radio network ninety seven to five, the Fanatic Philadelphia with
Speaker 2: a welcome message because tonight is Fanatic knockout as they're
Speaker 2: getting set for that with Tyrone Johnson on the mic.
Speaker 2: So that is a situation we'll be monitoring throughout the
Speaker 2: remainder of our postgame coverage. Again, Washington won nineteen Philadelphia
Speaker 2: one fourteen. Here in Philadelphia, we have audio highlights and
Speaker 2: more stats after a break. You're listening to the seventy
Speaker 2: six Ers postgame Show presented by Parks Casino. This is
Speaker 2: the Parks Casino seventy six Ers Postgame Show. Welcome back
Speaker 2: to the Center in Philadelphia. I'm Matt Murphy. It's the
Speaker 2: first game in twelve days for the Sixers at home.
Speaker 2: They only have three road games left out of their
Speaker 2: remaining ten. Well, that's three road games left out of nine.
Speaker 2: Now tonight welcoming the Washington Wizards, the second of the
Speaker 2: three meetings between the two teams. The Sixers took the
Speaker 2: one here on January eighth, and we're about to hear
Speaker 2: the audio highlights of this game featuring the Sixers and
Speaker 2: Wizards in Philly. Let's listen to how it sounded from
Speaker 2: start to finish, as called by Tom McGuinness.
Speaker 1: The Wizards in navy blue.
Speaker 2: Uniforms with red, the Sixers in white spectrum themed City
Speaker 2: edition uniforms on a Spirit of seventy six night presented
Speaker 2: by Crypto dot Com. Among the inactives, it ended up
Speaker 2: being ten for the Sixers and a handful plus for
Speaker 2: the Wizards. On their side, it includes trade deadline acquisitions
Speaker 2: betteran NBA players in Chris Middleton, Marcus Smart, a couple
Speaker 2: of their young players as well. For the Sixers, it's
Speaker 2: the same crowd that's been missing. There was an update
Speaker 2: pregame on Tyrese Maxi from Nick Nurse that Maxie's working
Speaker 2: out on court and after seeing another specialist for that
Speaker 2: right Pinky Sprain, he's in a differ diferent type of splint,
Speaker 2: now hopeful that he may return before the end of
Speaker 2: the year. Lonnie Walker the fourth after the concussion two
Speaker 2: weeks ago. Tonight in Toronto, he was listed as out
Speaker 2: with a next brain tonight an eight other Sixers, so
Speaker 2: it was the forty ninth different starting lineup of the
Speaker 2: season for the Sixers. Jeff Dalton, Junior, Quentin Grimes, Justin Edwards,
Speaker 2: Ricky Counsel of the fourth inn gershon Yabu Stele. Remember,
Speaker 2: the NBA record is fifty one for the Memphis Grizzlies
Speaker 2: last season, two away from that, tying that for this
Speaker 2: year's Sixers. The bell ringer got a big pop. It
Speaker 2: was Will Smith the four time Grammy Award winner, Academy
Speaker 2: Award and Golden Globe winner, has a new album coming
Speaker 2: out Friday, based on a true story. Ten two start
Speaker 2: to the game for Washington became a nineteen to nine start,
Speaker 2: despite all nine of those points being scored by Yabusele
Speaker 2: for the Sixers in the first five minutes, and both
Speaker 2: he and Alex Sarr of Washington had three first half threes,
Speaker 2: but saw in close during a double digit first quarter
Speaker 2: for him.
Speaker 3: And now Carrington with five on the reset into Sar.
Speaker 3: Sar dribbles, goes up and dunks it. Two sixers were
Speaker 3: around him, but they didn't stop him at all. Justin
Speaker 3: Edwards trying to swat at it and Alex Sar has
Speaker 3: five made that duncle Kezi.
Speaker 2: Seventeen to nine. He had thirteen in the first quarter.
Speaker 2: Justin Champenny had eleven in the first quarter. They would
Speaker 2: finish with Sar having twenty four, a game high, Champenni
Speaker 2: having an eighteen point ten rebound double double, matching Justin
Speaker 2: Edwards of the Sixers for the game high in rebounding.
Speaker 2: With the ten and the first quarter, here's the end
Speaker 2: of it. Was such a high scoring quarter for the Wizards,
Speaker 2: who were reigning three so after including Star the second
Speaker 2: overall pick, but some of their newer players as well,
Speaker 2: one of whom after the deadline is Colby Jones of
Speaker 2: Washington to beat the buzzer and give them their ninth
Speaker 2: three of the first.
Speaker 3: Three seconds he goes to the right side. Jones gets
Speaker 3: it off at t the buzzer and in Washington one
Speaker 3: of it's clearly one of its best quarters of the year.
Speaker 3: Colby Jones beats a buzzer, he makes a three and
Speaker 3: with that the Washington withverers go back up by sixteen.
Speaker 2: Eight points in the game for the former Sacramento King,
Speaker 2: Colby Jones nine for twelve from three and the Sixers
Speaker 2: shot at six for fourteen from three in the first quarter,
Speaker 2: so nine for twelve. Washington was up forty five twenty
Speaker 2: nine heading to the second where Yabu Sele picked up
Speaker 2: where he started the first quarter with, starting the second
Speaker 2: with another three.
Speaker 3: He's into the lane on JK Thorp, back out to
Speaker 3: Yabuselee for three and it's good Yabu with his third
Speaker 3: three in the game. Second chance opportunity. Jared Butler was
Speaker 3: able to get that rebound and with that the Sixers
Speaker 3: cut it to.
Speaker 2: Thirteen forty five thirty two became sixty seven to fifty
Speaker 2: Washington at halftime. The Sixers were able to outscore the
Speaker 2: Wizards twenty nine twenty two in the second quarter. Yabu's
Speaker 2: final line in just under twenty seven minutes of play
Speaker 2: as the starting center twenty one points, eight rebounds, one
Speaker 2: block shot. He was three for eight from three, so
Speaker 2: all three of his threes came in the first half
Speaker 2: and the Sixers were down by nine. In that second quarter,
Speaker 2: Philip Wheeler made his NBA debut and scored.
Speaker 1: For the Sixers.
Speaker 2: He would end up with two field goals tonight, four
Speaker 2: points and four rebounds in fifteen and a half minutes,
Speaker 2: coming from the Main Celtics formerly the main Red clause
Speaker 2: in years past. But it's his fifth G League team
Speaker 2: in four seasons, so a night to remember for Philip Wheeler,
Speaker 2: now of the Sixers on a ten day contract. Sixty
Speaker 2: seven to fifty eight halftime game. Justin Edwards had a
Speaker 2: big night for the Sixers and he continued where he
Speaker 2: left off on the strong road trip. He kept cutting
Speaker 2: into the Wizard's lead. He cut into a seven to
Speaker 2: make it a seven point game. Alex Saar did answer
Speaker 2: with a dunk, but Edwards in another nine point game.
Speaker 3: Sar on the move left ten dribble. Don Lmaine puts
Speaker 3: it up, not enough Parc on it, couldn't bank it in.
Speaker 3: They get it back, but then Sar throws it away.
Speaker 3: Justin Edwards trying to make a move on Johnson left
Speaker 3: ten layup gooz Man. The Sixers make it a seven
Speaker 3: point game, six and a half to go.
Speaker 2: Wizards seventy six, Sixers sixty nine. Edwards with nineteen points,
Speaker 2: ten rebounds, and five steals on a night that he
Speaker 2: completes his first NBA double double, only one three pointer,
Speaker 2: but shot nine for fifteen from the field in almost
Speaker 2: thirty six minutes. A nineteen point, ten rebound game for
Speaker 2: Justin Edwards. The Sixers trailed ninety seven eighty five, though
Speaker 2: after three, Jordan Poole had back to back threes during
Speaker 2: an eleven zero run. He went four for seven for
Speaker 2: three on an eighteen point night pool so two to
Speaker 2: d Alex Sar from beyond the arc with the twenty
Speaker 2: four points. Justin Champenni with the eighteen and ten was
Speaker 2: four for six, so that's three. Wizard starters who made
Speaker 2: four to three pointers each. They made eighteen as a team,
Speaker 2: led the Sixers ninety seven eighty five going into the
Speaker 2: fourth quarter, and that was after Colby Jones hit another
Speaker 2: buzzer beater three. Like the first quarter, he did it
Speaker 2: at the end of the third and as the Sixers
Speaker 2: crept closer. Ricky Council the fourth with a big fourth quarter.
Speaker 2: He had nine of his thirteen points. Tristan Vukcevic, the
Speaker 2: big man off Washington's bench. He had nine of his
Speaker 2: seventeen points in the fourth.
Speaker 3: Washington by eight. Here's Fukesvich in the lane up and
Speaker 3: good Bona with the foul and Vuke seven. Tristan Vuksevitch
Speaker 3: in his second season from Serbia, drafted by the Wizards
Speaker 3: in twenty three with the forty second pick. He's had
Speaker 3: a block now in seven of the last eight games.
Speaker 2: Double digit lead for Vuchevic and the Wizards, he comes
Speaker 2: up two points shy of his NBA career high of
Speaker 2: nineteen eleven of the seventeen in the second half, nine
Speaker 2: of those in the fourth quarter. Jalen Martin did have
Speaker 2: a career high for them off the bench with twelve points.
Speaker 2: He was the blue Coats first call up to the
Speaker 2: NBA this season, and it was to Washington too. The
Speaker 2: young Jalen Martin had an NBA career high twelve, surpassing
Speaker 2: his previous mark by one, and Buchevic comes up two
Speaker 2: points short, one oh seven ninety seven Washington. They were
Speaker 2: up fourteen with four minutes left in this game. They
Speaker 2: were up eleven with ninety seconds left, but the Sixers
Speaker 2: had it all the way down to four eventually, and
Speaker 2: Grimes prior to that during the comeback from beyond the.
Speaker 3: Left side of the court rises for three and it's
Speaker 3: good crime. So with twenty in the game, Sixers trail
Speaker 3: one fifteen, one oh.
Speaker 2: Four, twenty two points to lead this tonight for Quentin Grimes,
Speaker 2: whose twenty five plus point streak does come to an
Speaker 2: end at eight consecutive games. In thirty three minutes and
Speaker 2: twenty eight seconds, Quintin Grimes six of sixteen from the field,
Speaker 2: four for nine from three, and a perfect six for
Speaker 2: six at the line, but he and Jared Butler both
Speaker 2: made four threes as a team, though they shot just
Speaker 2: thirty percent from long distance fourteen for forty six, and
Speaker 2: even though the Sixers made it close late. The Wizards
Speaker 2: never trailed after two to nothing in this game and
Speaker 2: win it one nineteen won fourteen. They are sixteen and
Speaker 2: fifty six now Washington, the Sixers fall to twenty three
Speaker 2: and fifty. They will have a home back to back
Speaker 2: this Saturday and Sunday, after no game tomorrow or Friday.
Speaker 2: They'll have Miami, who beat Golden State yesterday in the
Speaker 2: Jimmy Butler as a Warrior in Miami Game one, twelve
Speaker 2: eighty six. The Heat won that game. They have Andrew
Speaker 2: Wiggins as part of that trade. He had ten points
Speaker 2: twenty seven for bam Adebayo, twenty for Tyler Hero. That's
Speaker 2: Saturday night at seven thirty, and then Toronto comes in
Speaker 2: to complete the sixers fifteenth and final back to back
Speaker 2: of the season. On Sunday at seven thirty. They are
Speaker 2: about to beat Brooklyn. In Brooklyn, they're up one sixteen
Speaker 2: eighty four with thirty five seconds left. Heat are tenth
Speaker 2: in the East, Raptors are eleventh, and then the Nets
Speaker 2: and Sixers. The Nets didn't play Cam Johnson tonight, and
Speaker 2: we've got big news in the Fanatic knockout contest ninety
Speaker 2: seven to five. The Fanatic the seventy six Ers flagship
Speaker 2: radio station here on the Sixers Radio Network, and Connor
Speaker 2: Thomas was just eliminated, and he's being interviewed by Tyrone
Speaker 2: Johnson of ninety seven to five and he's talking about
Speaker 2: his shoes that aren't they don't appear to be basketball shoes.
Speaker 2: Ray Dunn is still in among other fanatic personalities. I
Speaker 2: see Ricky Batalico out there. Tom Alvord is the defending champion,
Speaker 2: our old friend from these Sixers broadcasts, and Tom misses
Speaker 2: at the line but recovers to stay in there. Before that,
Speaker 2: I saw Austin Jones in the throwback iverson Jersey. He
Speaker 2: was knocked out as we were going to break and
Speaker 2: now he's posing for photos along the sideline here. But
Speaker 2: Connor Thomas is out, and he was dedicating his efforts
Speaker 2: to our producer, our executive producer, Tonight Brendan Gunn, because
Speaker 2: Brendan is back at the station, but Connor can't come
Speaker 2: through with the victory.
Speaker 1: So the latest.
Speaker 2: Developments from the annual Knockout competition. The Wizard shot fifty
Speaker 2: point five percent from the field, forty one from three
Speaker 2: and overcome a forty two percent mark from the outline
Speaker 2: where these contestants are shooting free throws right now. The
Speaker 2: Wizards were five of twelve in this game, leading to
Speaker 2: all the Chick fil A nuggets. Jones himself was OH
Speaker 2: for four and Thor missed both of his so that's
Speaker 2: OH for six right. They're contributing most of the misses
Speaker 2: for Washington against the Sixers team that shot forty three percent,
Speaker 2: only forty three percent from the floor thirty point four
Speaker 2: percent from three. There were ninety threes attempted, forty six
Speaker 2: for the Sixers, forty four for the Wizards, who shot
Speaker 2: it better, and the Sixers took eight more free throws,
Speaker 2: making sixteen of twenty, which is eighty percent. The stat
Speaker 2: of the game, though, is that the Sixers for a
Speaker 2: long time looked like they were going to maybe challenge
Speaker 2: the record this season for fewest turnovers in an NBA game,
Speaker 2: but they added they had two more pop up at
Speaker 2: the end for five in the game, only five turnovers
Speaker 2: for the Sixers. That is our stat of the game.
Speaker 2: It ties their season low for turnovers, which was against Miami,
Speaker 2: their next opponent here on February fifth. The season single
Speaker 2: game low in the NBA is three for Oklahoma City,
Speaker 2: which the Sixers had only three with about five minutes
Speaker 2: left in regulation. But we're not going to be able
Speaker 2: to take you all the way through the end of
Speaker 2: the knockout. Check out the ninety seven to five the
Speaker 2: fanatics social media handles. There's still a healthy amount of
Speaker 2: people left in the field, so they'll have you covered
Speaker 2: with that. We'll have you covered this weekend. But that'll
Speaker 2: do it for this edition of the seventy six Ers
Speaker 2: Postgame Show presented by Parks Casino. The final score of
Speaker 2: the Washington Wizards won nineteen, the Philadelphia seventy six Ers
Speaker 2: won fourteen. Thanks so much to our engineer Marty Dickerson,
