Speaker 1: Mike, Tom mcguinnis crossed away. Thank you for joining us.
Speaker 1: You had the hot hand from three. That spot in
Speaker 1: front of the Hawks bench served you well as you
Speaker 1: dropped home a pair from deep in that corner. Must
Speaker 1: have felt good to get those long shots that helped
Speaker 1: the ball club to a victory tonight over your old team. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I felt good. It was good to see a lot
Speaker 1: of the guys with the Hawks, and um, you know,
Speaker 1: I think we passed the ball really really well tonight,
Speaker 1: thirty three assists. The ball was moving. That's when it's
Speaker 1: fun to play. So you're getting into rhythm, huh after
Speaker 1: the first week back. Yeah, yeah, I've been. I've been
Speaker 1: in the gym a lot. Um, it feels really good
Speaker 1: to be back playing with these guys. It's such a
Speaker 1: fun team to play with. So I'm fortunate to be
Speaker 1: back and just trying to take a one game at
Speaker 1: a fun. Mike, leaning on your inside a little bit,
Speaker 1: but it's it was kind of a sloppy first half.
Speaker 1: You're tied at forty seven. I was curious what was
Speaker 1: it like in the locker room where the coaches. I
Speaker 1: know they're not, you know, showing desperation, but but obviously
Speaker 1: they got to try to send a message. What was
Speaker 1: it like at halftime. Yeah, they were just challenging us
Speaker 1: to lock in and not give up as many offensive
Speaker 1: rebounds as we had in the first half, and me
Speaker 1: include I'll at up a few and just to get
Speaker 1: back on transition defense as well. And they show a
Speaker 1: crowd and I think we did. We did a really
Speaker 1: good job of that in the third period and that
Speaker 1: kind of set us up for the win. Where'd you
Speaker 1: think of Simmons tonight? Oh? Man, he was awesome. His
Speaker 1: athleticism and him pushing the ball in transition. It's a
Speaker 1: real treat to play with and look forward to more
Speaker 1: of it for the trophy year. Thank you, Mike, good Luck,
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Thank you, Mike Muscala of the Sixers. Sixers
Speaker 1: Win one, thirteen ninety two. Coming out postgame coverage including
Speaker 1: Brian Seltzer of Sixers dot Com, Sixer's head coach Brent Brown.
Speaker 1: We'll put the game in summation. They'll be highlights and
Speaker 1: a lot more as we roll on from South Philadelphia
Speaker 1: the Sixers over Atlanta. This is the Sixers Radio Network,
Speaker 1: ninety seven five. The Fanatic Sixers Win one, thirteen ninety two.
Speaker 1: They had a sixteen to four run to start the third,
Speaker 1: and then as I mentioned, you could go the other way.
Speaker 1: They ended the third out of twenty six to nine runs.
Speaker 1: Simmons was incredibly yet fifteen points a career best for
Speaker 1: points in a quarter in that third, and then he
Speaker 1: either scored or assisted in the first twenty two points
Speaker 1: by the team in that third quarter. So Ben Simmons
Speaker 1: was brilliant. I mentioned he is our Independence Blue Cross
Speaker 1: player of the game. I'll betche he's the bell ringer
Speaker 1: as the Sixers with that little ceremony in the locker
Speaker 1: room and at the end of the game Amir Johnson
Speaker 1: and the receiving end of a long Marquel Folts pass.
Speaker 1: Folts ended up with seven assists and Johnson with an
Speaker 1: easy slam our Dunkin' Donuts dunk of the game. So
Speaker 1: the Sixers win one thirteen to ninety two. Ben led
Speaker 1: the way with twenty one points, twelve rebounds, nine assists.
Speaker 1: He also had a block sixteen points for Folts his
Speaker 1: career high seven assists, four rebounds, eleven for Robert Covington.
Speaker 1: Dario four points, nine rebounds and an assist plus a
Speaker 1: steel Joel emb ten points, six boards, six assists, four turnovers,
Speaker 1: two blocks. Again they were double teaming Joel, and you
Speaker 1: know at times he passed a well. He had six assists,
Speaker 1: but four turnovers. That kind of threw him off a
Speaker 1: little bit. I thought he was catching the ball a
Speaker 1: little further away from the basket than it would be
Speaker 1: most you know, prudent or helpful, you know, if you
Speaker 1: were to catch it a little bit closer. But credit
Speaker 1: to Alex land for four seeing him out, and then
Speaker 1: Basemore was coming with that double team action off the bench.
Speaker 1: Two players of fourteen, Reddick and Muscot. They combined for
Speaker 1: eight main three's thirteen for Landry Shammon he had a
Speaker 1: pair of three's fourteen total from beyond by the Sixers,
Speaker 1: and then other players got in the scoring column. Amir
Speaker 1: Johnson was six rebounds, two points, two points off the
Speaker 1: bench for both McConnell, Kirkmis and Boldin had four for Atlanta,
Speaker 1: eighteen for Basemore, eleven apiece for both three Young Deadman
Speaker 1: and Amer Spellman, and those were their only double figure scores.
Speaker 1: They're two and four and the Sixers are four and three.
Speaker 1: We'll have more postgame coverage after you hear this, this
Speaker 1: is the Sixers A Radio network ninety seven five the Fanatic.
Speaker 1: The Sixers with a huge third quarter and a big
Speaker 1: second half, pull away from Atlanta and win tonight's game
Speaker 1: one thirteen to ninety two in front of a sellout
Speaker 1: crowd of over twenty thousand, two hundred fans on hand.
Speaker 1: Here tonight we mentioned what the Sixers did offensively in
Speaker 1: the third Simmons getting the first well having a hand
Speaker 1: in the first twenty two points, and then fifteen points
Speaker 1: of his own in that quarter. The big runs by
Speaker 1: the Sixers included an eleven oz spurt. Reddick had a
Speaker 1: big three in that span, but they also forced Atlanta
Speaker 1: into just six of twenty four from the field with
Speaker 1: six turnovers. They only scored thirteen points in the third quarter.
Speaker 1: And again, sometime game that comes down to the last
Speaker 1: shot and it's the last two or three minutes to
Speaker 1: determine the outcome, but other times it's other aspects, other
Speaker 1: phases of the game. Of tonight, it was the third quarter,
Speaker 1: as it was even at forty seven, but the Sixers
Speaker 1: pull away. They were a little lackluster, be short to
Speaker 1: be sure. Early in the game shooting a poor percentage,
Speaker 1: high turnover rate, and yet we're able to pull it
Speaker 1: together and knock off the Atlanta Hawks. So the Sixers
Speaker 1: are unbeaten at home, looking for their first road win
Speaker 1: of the year. It'll be tomorrow night in Toronto. Tough
Speaker 1: back to back. The Raptors are in Milwaukee. They've cut
Speaker 1: it to eight in the third and again a big
Speaker 1: score elsewhere in the NBA. We mentioned Golden State in
Speaker 1: Chicago and racking up. They already have one hundred and
Speaker 1: two points in the third. They had ninety two at halftime.
Speaker 1: Clay Thompson had ten threes. Kind of a startling result
Speaker 1: from around the NBA. So that'll do it from now again.
Speaker 1: Our thanks to Marty Dickerson, Sam Fletcher, and Tyler Zuli,
Speaker 1: our engineers. Brian Seltzer Sixers dot COM's next final score
Speaker 1: from the Center one thirteen ninety two Sixers over the Hawks.
Speaker 1: Tom McGinnis saying, thanks for listening. I'll have a slice
Speaker 1: of that postgame coverage, but Brian Seltzer will handle it,
Speaker 1: including Brett Brown from outside the locker room. Right after
Speaker 1: this on the Sixers Radio Network ninety seven, The Fanatic
Speaker 1: seventy six Ers beat the Atlanta Hawks one thirteen to
Speaker 1: ninety two. My name is Brian Selz. Let's go right
Speaker 1: now to Brett Brown his postgame press conference extracting that
Speaker 1: off and how do you think you guys, Yeah, yes,
Speaker 1: we were expecting it, maybe not to the blatant way
Speaker 1: that they did it, but yes we were expecting it.
Speaker 1: And I think that we did a better job in
Speaker 1: the second half of going to floor spots. I mean,
Speaker 1: wild double teams, you know, from the top of the
Speaker 1: key or from one side of the floor normally don't
Speaker 1: happen in our league. And so I thought that Joe
Speaker 1: did a pretty good job of knowing that they're incredibly
Speaker 1: always leaving Marquel from whatever part of the floor, and
Speaker 1: then they did it to Ben, but a lot with Marquel,
Speaker 1: and then Markuell basket cut and almost like the best
Speaker 1: play you could run would be to throw it to
Speaker 1: Joel and just have Markuell, no matter where he was,
Speaker 1: just follow his man and get to the front of
Speaker 1: the rim with a paint And I thought we did
Speaker 1: a better job of that. But it was some aggressive
Speaker 1: double teams and Coach PS's scheme made us head to
Speaker 1: think a little bit. Both Ben and m Mark Kelsey
Speaker 1: might be more asserted and confidence with themed by it
Speaker 1: when they are just running the show. Just how do
Speaker 1: you channel that it, like the confidence, the mental side
Speaker 1: of that when they're sharing the It's a challenge. It's
Speaker 1: a challenge early because it comes back to some spatial
Speaker 1: issues that affect Joel And so it's it's deeper than
Speaker 1: what you're saying, which is true. And what I'm trying
Speaker 1: to do is have it all like you can play
Speaker 1: him a little bit together, then separate him and give
Speaker 1: one the ball, then the other person the ball. I've
Speaker 1: said quite candidly. You know that Markel is a point
Speaker 1: guard and Ben is the rookie of the year as
Speaker 1: a point guard, and you know we mix and match
Speaker 1: a little bit. But it is a challenge. It is
Speaker 1: a challenge. I think Mark Tellen had been played when
Speaker 1: they play together. I think we just spoke about it,
Speaker 1: you know, just go to and although it's early days,
Speaker 1: I'm aware of that. I'm aware of the numbers and
Speaker 1: you know Columes said it and then the numbers would
Speaker 1: would prove you to be right. And right now, it's
Speaker 1: it's a struggle for spatial reasons as much as anything
Speaker 1: and you know, you can just like bury your head
Speaker 1: in the sand and just keep doing it and doing
Speaker 1: it and doing it. And you could do that. I
Speaker 1: choose to walk that line of trying to grow it
Speaker 1: and win. And you know that that's part of that's
Speaker 1: part of my challenge, right. I know that the corner
Speaker 1: three was a big point about Asis from you guys
Speaker 1: who drew those paid spots. Yeah, Mike seemed to have
Speaker 1: a lot of success. I thought it was his best game,
Speaker 1: um that he has played with us. And it's easier
Speaker 1: for me to say that when he makes shots, Like
Speaker 1: when he's making shots, you get flashbacks of Earsign and
Speaker 1: you know we need that from Dario and from Mike.
Speaker 1: We need them to make threes. And I thought that
Speaker 1: that stood out. I thought that his ability to switch
Speaker 1: and like really move his feet and show a side
Speaker 1: of athleticism, um, impresses me. I really like him, Like
Speaker 1: you look at him and to me, he's a modern
Speaker 1: day type of player where he can switch and make
Speaker 1: a three, and he runs the floor and he's a
Speaker 1: he's a good teammate. He's got some toughness and good
Speaker 1: sort of human traits. I thought he was excellent tonight
Speaker 1: the new Yeah, he's there's nothing, and he's more than.
Speaker 1: He gets immediate acceptance from his teammates because he works,
Speaker 1: and the players know that you want to passport into
Speaker 1: a locker room or a passport into somebody's in a
Speaker 1: circle of friendship, it starts for all of us. It's respect.
Speaker 1: And he gains respect because he works. He gains respect
Speaker 1: because he's got some toughness to him. He gains respect
Speaker 1: because he's a prideful student of a game plan, and
Speaker 1: you want to go to what was somebody like that?
Speaker 1: You want to go play a basketball game with somebody
Speaker 1: like that. And his human qualities in his his prideful
Speaker 1: side of being a pro are a powerful combination that
Speaker 1: is as good a way to get into a team
Speaker 1: as I can think of. Seventy six Ers winning head
Speaker 1: coach Brett Brown talking about bench man Mike Muscala after
Speaker 1: a really nice one thirteen ninety two victory over Muscala's
Speaker 1: former team at the Atlanta Hawks. Muscala with fourteen points
Speaker 1: off the bench. But the big story for the Sixers
Speaker 1: tonight the third quarter, in which they outscored the Hawks
Speaker 1: thirty one to thirteen, and they're all that Ben Simmons.
Speaker 1: Playton had twenty one points overall for Simmons twelve rebounds,
Speaker 1: nine assists, just two turnovers. But in that third quarter
Speaker 1: Simmons scored feen points himself and he had to say
Speaker 1: either scoring or assisting on the Sixers first twenty two
Speaker 1: points coming out of the gates after a first half
Speaker 1: that was quite frankly bumby, tough, scrappy at times, the
Speaker 1: Sixers went into the locker room against a young, retooling
Speaker 1: Atlanta team tied at forty seven at the break, but
Speaker 1: it was Simmons, with a really determined, spirited effort at
Speaker 1: who got the Sixers going. Simmons lit the fuse and
Speaker 1: the Sixers never looked back from there and route to
Speaker 1: their biggest margin of victory on the year, one thirteen
Speaker 1: to ninety two. The final score Joel Embiid, as Brett
Speaker 1: was talking about at the start of the portion the
Speaker 1: press conference that we heard double team for really the
Speaker 1: majority an entirety of the playing time that he was
Speaker 1: out there. Finished with ten points, three of nine from
Speaker 1: the field, six rebounds. He made some good reads passing
Speaker 1: with six assists, but the Hawks, as you expected, made
Speaker 1: it difficult on him. The Hawks coach by former Sixers
Speaker 1: assistant Lloyd Pierce, so the Sixers had to adapt and adjust,
Speaker 1: and was almost as if Ben Simmons coming out of
Speaker 1: the locker room said enough is enough, mate, and then
Speaker 1: he took to the Hawks from there. One thirteen ninety two.
Speaker 1: The final score. We got Tom McGinnis and some highlights
Speaker 1: coming up as we get going with our postgame coverage
Speaker 1: here at the Center. It's the postgame showing the Sixers
Speaker 1: raiding Network seven five the fanatics against the Atlanta Hawks
Speaker 1: night here at the Center. They wrap up their modest
Speaker 1: two game homestand in winning fashion, one thirteen to ninety two,
Speaker 1: six Ers all four of their wins in seven games
Speaker 1: this season, coming right here in South Philadelphia. Brian Seltzer
Speaker 1: with you from Sixers dot Com. Ben Simmons terrific, terrific
Speaker 1: as well. The man who had the call of tonight's game,
Speaker 1: Tom McGinnis. That was a slightly bumpy beginning, Tom to
Speaker 1: tonight's game. For the first twenty four minutes, tied up
Speaker 1: at forty seven, you could tell the Sixers even seemed
Speaker 1: a little bit restless with how things were going, and
Speaker 1: there was the raining rookie of the year coming out
Speaker 1: of the gates with the head of steam in a
Speaker 1: lot of termination right in a sense, a tale of
Speaker 1: two halves because as you said, turnover half and poor
Speaker 1: shooting for the sixers. But Ben he was attacking, and
Speaker 1: much like he did against Charlotte, but this time he
Speaker 1: was getting better clearance, if you will, In other words,
Speaker 1: that defenders weren't all over him, and he was fluid
Speaker 1: and getting to the basket. And then as you say,
Speaker 1: in the third quarter, fifteen points matches a career high
Speaker 1: for the best career best in a quarter for him
Speaker 1: points wise, and then a hand and twenty two of
Speaker 1: the points with the assists, and that eleven oh run
Speaker 1: and twenty six to nine run to close it out,
Speaker 1: and the great separation and they got they were getting
Speaker 1: good shots in the first part of the game where
Speaker 1: they were missing those threes, and now they started a fall.
Speaker 1: Reddick hit a couple Mascala and Landry Shamm. It really
Speaker 1: added a lot of punch. Mascalars we just heard Bret
Speaker 1: Brown talk about from the corner getting those threes. And
Speaker 1: even though in Bead had four turnovers, it didn't have
Speaker 1: the gaudy numbers we've seen. He did get six assists
Speaker 1: and he was able to pass it out and I thought, folks,
Speaker 1: these you know, he had a great game. Coach called
Speaker 1: it his best game in the Sea and Saturday against
Speaker 1: Charlotte and tonight he came out and really did a
Speaker 1: lot of good things and really had that lucy goosey
Speaker 1: kind of play that you'd like to see where he
Speaker 1: attacks and moved the ball and did a nice job
Speaker 1: with a career high in terms of points and assists
Speaker 1: as well. So this is a team they should have beaten,
Speaker 1: and they did their four and oh at home, they
Speaker 1: won thirty one games here last year. It's a great
Speaker 1: home court advantage with the sellout crowd and twenty thousand plus,
Speaker 1: and they took care of business, particularly in that third quarter.
Speaker 1: Terrific performance by aggressive Ben Simmons in the third one
Speaker 1: thirteen ninety two Sixers when their second in a row,
Speaker 1: knocking off the Atlanta Hawks bench tom Real nice tonight,
Speaker 1: led by Mike Muscala with fourteen points. He was plus eighteen,
Speaker 1: which means the Sixers had scored Atlanta by the eighteen
Speaker 1: points in the twenty bigger part in eighteen minutes that
Speaker 1: he was on the court. And then Landry's sham it
Speaker 1: really solid as well. And you throw JJ in there,
Speaker 1: and that trio combined for forty one points. And again,
Speaker 1: you know, the Sixers, like so many NBA teams, their
Speaker 1: offenses pre located on three point shots. Tonight they had
Speaker 1: forty five plus from beyond the arc. And when you
Speaker 1: start hitting them, you know, you you increase the lead.
Speaker 1: And it's just it's amazing how quickly they rack up
Speaker 1: when you're shooting them and making threes. And that's obviously
Speaker 1: why why they do it. It's driven by analytics, and
Speaker 1: it's when it works, it's it's amazing. So uh and
Speaker 1: and j JJ is gonna keep shooting him. Even though
Speaker 1: he shot a high volume, like I said, he ended
Speaker 1: up with fourteen points. That's pretty much just a little
Speaker 1: bit under what he's been averaging. So uh. You know,
Speaker 1: it's like you just gotta keep shooting them that you
Speaker 1: here coaches say that all the time. Guys were getting
Speaker 1: good looks, they're gonna drop. Just keep working for him,
Speaker 1: you know. And if you execute and get a good shot,
Speaker 1: a coach can live with a miss because they're not
Speaker 1: you're not gonna make them. And guys should thirty five percent.
Speaker 1: It's a pretty decent percentage from beyond. So, uh yeah,
Speaker 1: all told good things and uh you know, a lot
Speaker 1: of positives and certainly a lot to talk about when
Speaker 1: they get together mid day tomorrow to plan and try
Speaker 1: to plot stright for the Raptors, because this is I mean, obviously,
Speaker 1: the opening game against Boston was huge, the Milwaukee game
Speaker 1: was big. But to now this one right here circled tomorrow,
Speaker 1: Toronto versus a city you got to go through Toronto,
Speaker 1: especially with the start they're off to, and I honestly
Speaker 1: I didn't think they got enough pub or hype if
Speaker 1: you will, in the preseason and when their team was
Speaker 1: the same. Granted they changed their coach, but they added
Speaker 1: a better player and DeMar or DeMar de Rosen was terrific.
Speaker 1: But let's face it, Leonard's one of the best players
Speaker 1: in the league and he didn't play tonight, so he'll
Speaker 1: be rarer to go tomorrow. Great show down tomorrow live
Speaker 1: from Toronto with seven I was gonna say, after this
Speaker 1: one thirteen ninety two win tonight, I cannot wait to
Speaker 1: watch tomorrow's game. I mean, these are as you said
Speaker 1: to the top teams building the Eastern Conference. You forget Sergibaka.
Speaker 1: I mean he's got twenty six points in the game tonight,
Speaker 1: Raptors trailing at Milwaukee by fourteen towards the end of
Speaker 1: the third. But Danny Green thrown in the mix as well.
Speaker 1: And this young bench that seemed like it came out
Speaker 1: of nowhere for the Raptors. Now their bench was really good.
Speaker 1: Van Fleet really came on last year. Siakam gives them energy.
Speaker 1: Ogi on Anobie was a starter for much of the
Speaker 1: early part of the last season, and now he's coming
Speaker 1: off the bench with Ibaka in the middle. Now Valatunis
Speaker 1: is coming off the bench. So it's so important for
Speaker 1: these elite teams that there's obviously gonna be a little
Speaker 1: drop off. There's a reason the first five our starters.
Speaker 1: But this this second unit for them has been been
Speaker 1: really good and so it shapes up. Then that's been
Speaker 1: a difficult place for the Sixers to play. Again. The
Speaker 1: Sixes have beaten them over the last couple of years,
Speaker 1: but for the most part during the last few years
Speaker 1: they've dominated. So at some point you got to get
Speaker 1: through Boston, you have to get through Toronto and hopefully
Speaker 1: it starts tomorrow. For the Sixers, a man Tam Mac
Speaker 1: talked to you from north of the border tomorrow. You
Speaker 1: gotta thank you, Brian. Good Night. Seventy Sixers runaway from
Speaker 1: the Hawks one thirteen ninety two TIMS, highlight calls and
Speaker 1: recap plus some stats on the other side. This is
Speaker 1: the postgame showing the Sixers rate a Network ninety seven
Speaker 1: five the fanatic seventy Sixers and the Atlanta Hawk closing
Speaker 1: out a two games stop at home in South Philadelphia
Speaker 1: for the Sixers. Let us get two tonight's highlight calls.
Speaker 1: Sixers who welcing back former assistant coach Lloyd Pearson the
Speaker 1: last five years here as an original member of Rett
Speaker 1: Brown's coaching staff. No surprise, the Hawks came out playing
Speaker 1: some tough defense, Sixers battling for everything they could get,
Speaker 1: and the Sixers go to Mascalo Mascala two and beat
Speaker 1: the left to keep back down. Marquels and Foals will
Speaker 1: get a layup, so they're double teaming and beat and
Speaker 1: Joel makes them pay as Foals with a good cut
Speaker 1: to the right of the rim. The Sixers were down
Speaker 1: twenty five twenty after twelve minutes in play. In the
Speaker 1: second quarter, the Sixers fell behind by five. They were
Speaker 1: looking for some sort of spurting verse JJ Reddick who
Speaker 1: was behind a very strong run JJ opened three. Boy,
Speaker 1: he's got to hit this one, and he does J
Speaker 1: J Reddick from Simmons, Reddick scored eight and row for
Speaker 1: the seventy Sixers to put them up by a six.
Speaker 1: But the Hawks closed out the first half by scoring
Speaker 1: six points in a row. It was tied up with
Speaker 1: forty happening going to the break. Onto the turning point
Speaker 1: of tonight's game, there was no question about it. The
Speaker 1: third quarter, Ben Simmons left a stamp an imprint on
Speaker 1: this game. Ben with it against Urry and Prince eight
Speaker 1: to shoot in the lane around one man, right in shot,
Speaker 1: running around and gun in a foul on Atlanta and
Speaker 1: the Sixers showing signs of life and in large part
Speaker 1: because you could tell the rookie of the Year came
Speaker 1: out with his mind made up. He was going to
Speaker 1: try and take over this game. Six Ers scored the
Speaker 1: first five points coming out of the break. Ben Simmons
Speaker 1: factor in the first twenty two points of the third
Speaker 1: quarter before he came out via substitution and this basket
Speaker 1: was part of that. Simmons out to JJ, thank you three,
Speaker 1: stepping up a line free ball by runneck Is in
Speaker 1: the air, bottom swish j J Rennick with a three,
Speaker 1: twelve point lead, and finally the Sixers snapped out of
Speaker 1: the dold rooms. They have scored eleven in a row.
Speaker 1: They were up by twelve, sixty three to fifty one.
Speaker 1: And you know what when Ben Simmons subbed out, when
Speaker 1: he passed them the time to Marquel Fault, it was
Speaker 1: like the good juju just was passed right along with it,
Speaker 1: and that would give the Sixers. After Marquel Foltz was
Speaker 1: involved in a dunk seventy eight to seventy eight to
Speaker 1: sixty lead going into the fourth quarter. We talked with
Speaker 1: Tom mc ginnis about the way the bench played in
Speaker 1: this one. JJ Reddick was really good, Landry Shammon as well,
Speaker 1: and Mike Mscal perhaps most of all. JJ up to
Speaker 1: Marquel fourth looking at the three, won't shoot it to
Speaker 1: the corner of Mascotta for three? He will, and he
Speaker 1: knocks it down. The boost gets the three, Marquel with
Speaker 1: another dish and the Sixers lead eighty eight sixty nine.
Speaker 1: Sixer would end up winning this one and going away
Speaker 1: one thirteen and two ninety two all Sixers in the
Speaker 1: second half. They wound up shooting forty one and a
Speaker 1: half percent from the field. Atlanta held to thirty seven
Speaker 1: percent from the floor, six or fourteen three pointers to
Speaker 1: Atlanta's eight Sixers, only one miss from the free throw
Speaker 1: line on eighteen attempts. They outrebounded the Hawks by seventeen
Speaker 1: were plus six on the offensive glass. Here's a very
Speaker 1: six Ers e stat and really for the first time
Speaker 1: this season getting a correlation like this, but we saw
Speaker 1: it a lot last year. Thirty three assists on forty
Speaker 1: one made baskets, nineteen turnovers. That a season high for
Speaker 1: the Sixers. They had. They been doing a really good
Speaker 1: job keeping the turnovers down. That was something that caught
Speaker 1: up to them early on in the game. Some individual notes.
Speaker 1: Kent Baysmore led the Hawks in scoring with eighteen points,
Speaker 1: where kie Trey Young was five or thirteen from the
Speaker 1: field one of six from outside the arc. You finished
Speaker 1: with eleven points and eight assists for the Sixers. Ben
Speaker 1: Simmons tremendous twenty one points plus nineteen twelve rebounds and
Speaker 1: nine assists. It was his sixth career, twenty one point,
Speaker 1: ten rebound game, and as we mentioned earlier, fifteen points
Speaker 1: in the third quarter alone, fifteen out of the thirty
Speaker 1: one points the Sixers scored in that period. Sixteen from
Speaker 1: markul Folks that a career high. He had four rebounds,
Speaker 1: seven assists. He was seven of sixteen from the field,
Speaker 1: one of five from three point territory. Joel and b
Speaker 1: ten points doubled throughout the night six rebounds, six assists,
Speaker 1: Robert Covington plus twenty one in the game with eleven
Speaker 1: and six plus three steals off the bench, JJ Reddick
Speaker 1: with fourteen, Mike Muscalo with fourteen, and Landry Shammon with thirteen.
Speaker 1: Real good night for the reserve corps for the Sixers.
Speaker 1: With the win, the Sixers back over five hundred four
Speaker 1: and three. The Atlanta Hawks with the loss, dropped a
Speaker 1: two and four up. Next for the seventy six ers
Speaker 1: a match up tomorrow night at seven thirty versus the
Speaker 1: Toronto Raptors. Toronto and Milwaukee in a battle of two
Speaker 1: six and OZ teams tonight at Fiser Forum in Wisconsin.
