WEBVTT - The BroadCast: 3/19/2019 ~ Rewind vs Hornets 0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:03.760 This is seventy six Ers. Rewind time now to listen 0:00:03.800 --> 0:00:06.800 back to postgame reaction from the team's most recent game, 0:00:08.119 --> 0:00:11.479 JJ Reddick's first career at double double, highlighting the seventy 0:00:11.480 --> 0:00:14.680 six ers one eighteen one fourteen victory at Charlotte tonight, 0:00:14.720 --> 0:00:18.200 their fifth consecutive win. I'm Brian Seltzer. Let's joined in progress, 0:00:18.239 --> 0:00:21.639 Brett Brown. Um. We uh, we decided to, you know, 0:00:21.680 --> 0:00:25.040 come in and go a little bit smaller, and um, 0:00:25.079 --> 0:00:27.360 I thought we actually matched up a little bit better. 0:00:27.960 --> 0:00:33.040 But it was more for that reason than anything. All 0:00:33.200 --> 0:00:36.120 work was JJ's performance in the first half as far 0:00:36.159 --> 0:00:39.959 as was sparkling you guys well, and we needed to 0:00:40.000 --> 0:00:43.400 get going, you know. I thought, for whatever reason we 0:00:43.720 --> 0:00:47.839 didn't come out with this thing defensively, that we needed to, 0:00:48.400 --> 0:00:50.760 uh in order to beat a desperate team without Joe 0:00:50.800 --> 0:00:55.000 Ellen beat um as everybody knows, you know, we've had 0:00:55.040 --> 0:00:58.880 tough games and so we needed that. UM. And I 0:00:58.960 --> 0:01:02.040 think that that him sort of jump starting some things 0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:04.920 is what he has the ability to do. He really 0:01:04.920 --> 0:01:09.480 can score quickly. UM, and he did it times tonight 0:01:09.520 --> 0:01:16.160 and we needed it. I do. I mean, I'm looking 0:01:16.200 --> 0:01:18.760 at it, but I will tell you this as the 0:01:18.840 --> 0:01:22.520 game's unfolding, I'm thinking two things. We hit a win, 0:01:24.280 --> 0:01:28.520 and then I was thinking, we hit a win, really 0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:31.400 and so you can't have it all. It's not like, 0:01:32.200 --> 0:01:35.399 you know, we feel like we have a really, really 0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:38.640 really deep bench. You know, we had fourteen points off 0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:43.360 our bench tonight only James Ennis and you know, Mike 0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:46.360 had a down game and was in foul trouble. We 0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:49.000 were trying to figure out the Jonah, Boban and Meia thing, 0:01:49.000 --> 0:01:51.240 which is always going to be there. That is always 0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:53.840 going to be a decision as this thing plays out, 0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:56.320 and so we ended up going a lot of small 0:01:56.360 --> 0:01:59.520 ball stuff, you know, and I think it helped us. 0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:02.080 It did help us. But I do look at the 0:02:02.160 --> 0:02:06.040 minutes and if I had my perfect world, I wish 0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:08.239 I didn't play them as many minutes. But we didn't. 0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:12.440 We won, and so I'll lean on that as I 0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:15.240 hope the correct decision. So Bright Now, tomorrow you have 0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:19.600 another big game with Boston coming down. Just talk about 0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:23.239 that matchup. We can't wait, you know, we can't wait. 0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:27.520 I just got off FaceTime with Joel and you know, 0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:32.960 we're excited and it's starting to get closer. Tomorrow night, 0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:35.080 they'll go into a film session and they'll look up 0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:39.160 and see the number eleven, And for eighteen games, they've 0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:42.360 seen it go from eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, and now 0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:44.680 they're going to look up at eleven and then not 0:02:44.800 --> 0:02:49.080 too far away, you're gonna see one. And it's it's 0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:52.520 great to play them Atlwaukee's and the Boston Celtics and 0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:55.000 tonight on the road without Joel, you know, it's the NBA, 0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:59.840 and we look forward to going back to Philadelphia and 0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:05.760 playing the Boston Celtics with Joe ell Embiid. Seventy Sixers 0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:09.200 head coach Brett Brown, Yeah, let's play the game right now, 0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:13.600 right Sixers get by tonight one eighteen one, fourteen. You 0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:16.040 could look at it in some ways as the Sixers 0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:18.880 being fortunate to get past Charlotte, a very pesky determined 0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:21.600 Hornets team that's flung farther and farther out of the 0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:24.720 Eastern Conference playoff picture with the four point victory. But 0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:27.120 then you step back and you're like, oh, yeah, the 0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:30.480 Sixers were missing arguably their best player and one of 0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:33.240 the highest impact players in the league tonight, and they 0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:36.400 still managed to find a way to cobble it together 0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:39.240 and sneak one out on the road to start off 0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:42.600 an important back to back that wraps up tomorrow against 0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:44.840 the Boston Celtics at the Center. How about that before 0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:47.560 going out to his postgame availability, Brett Brown face timing 0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:51.920 with the all star Joel Embiid. Great nugget, great game 0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:54.640 from JJ Raddick, phenomenal, arguably one of the best games 0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:56.880 of his thirteen year career. For the first time ever, 0:03:57.400 --> 0:04:01.200 JJ Reddick a double double, twenty seven points, ten rebounds, 0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:04.000 his eight assists, the third highest total in his career. 0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:07.320 He was eight of nineteen overall, seven to fourteen from three. 0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:09.120 Experienced a little bit of a drop off in the 0:04:09.160 --> 0:04:11.600 third quarter, but man, he brought it down the stretch 0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:14.000 in the fourth, helping the seventy six ers in a 0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:16.800 big way. So too did Jimmy Butler in terms of 0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:19.720 his fourth quarter production. He finished with twenty three points, 0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:23.440 nine assists, four rebounds. Tobias Harris with a huge rebound 0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:25.760 of the final seconds a double double for him, he 0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:28.520 was plus thirteen. That was a team high twenty two 0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:32.000 points and eleven boards, and Ben Simmons, he in terms 0:04:32.080 --> 0:04:35.480 of scoring, had his way tonight. A very graceful, smooth 0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:39.040 scoring game for Ben Simmons twenty eight points, eight rebounds, 0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:43.080 and five assists. And you cannot overlook James Ennis the third. 0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:46.600 Brett Brown has been talking about, especially the aftermath of 0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:49.880 the trade deadline with some of the reserves, the veteran 0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:52.880 reserves of the team picked up this mini tournament thing, 0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:58.320 that type of situation, and well, truth be told, James 0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:01.840 Ennis stepping up and winning that tournament, no doubt, he 0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:06.000 was vital tonight. Fourteen points the only bench points generated 0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:08.640 by the seventy Sixers, and end it's the third when 0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:11.600 the game was getting tight and close, he banged down 0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:15.240 a key at three pointer, tied it up at one hundred, 0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:18.000 and the man just came up with some really important 0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:21.560 efforts and contributions for the seventy Sixers tonight as they 0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:25.240 end up sweeping the season series with the Charlotte Hornets, 0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:26.960 and they have now won five in a row. Have 0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:29.880 the Sixers for the first time this year. Great note 0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:33.800 to go into tomorrow night's game against the Boston Celtics. 0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:36.920 We're gonna talk with Tom McGinnis next. Seventy Sixers beat 0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:40.120 Charlotte at Spectrum Center one eighteen one fourteen. It's the 0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:45.880 postgame showing the Sixers a rated network.

Seventy Sixers eke out a 0:06:14.000 --> 0:06:17.919 one eighteen one fourteen victory at Charlotte tonight. Huge shots 0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:21.159 down the stretch from JJ Reddick's book, seventy Sixers in 0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:23.600 front for good, Jimmy Butler to break a one o 0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:26.160 nine tie in the closing minutes, and James and it's 0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:28.919 the third to make it a four point game with 0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:32.479 the game on the line, seventy Sixers fending off Charlotte, 0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:35.960 another feisty game against their Eastern Conference rival. We're begin 0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:39.800 Tom McGinnis right now from Spectrum Center in Charlotte. I mean, Tom, 0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:41.120 this is a great way. I mean, it was a 0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:43.320 tense game at times, but I mean, think about it. 0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:45.280 The odds of the Sixers overcame tonight with at Joe 0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:46.920 Ellen bid. They figure out a way to get it done. 0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:50.440 And now it's tough not to look aheads tomorrow night's game. Yeah, 0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:53.480 but first here tonight, I mean, you would have felt terrible, 0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:55.720 have you know? Those guys played thirty eight minutes and 0:06:55.760 --> 0:06:59.040 then all scored twenty plus points and lost. So, as 0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:02.000 Brett Brown said, you're here to win and you know 0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:03.960 life in the NBA, and then then you take care 0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:06.880 of business tomorrow and obviously everybody with their eyes on 0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:10.440 that game. But a tremendous effort here in this game 0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:15.400 and finding a way with Ben at times just unbelievable offensively, 0:07:15.520 --> 0:07:18.680 JJ Reddick with that start with the seven threes and 0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:20.960 a terrific first half. I believe he had twenty one 0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:23.040 points at the half, and then the rebounds and the 0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:28.240 assists and Jimmy Butler clutch. Obviously Tobias had his moments 0:07:28.440 --> 0:07:31.960 with twenty plus points in the game, Ennis, and that 0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:34.160 was it. That group right there is the group that 0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:36.840 helped the Sixers win this game. You really didn't get 0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:40.120 anything for boban a mere got hurt. T J. Play 0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:43.200 but did not have a big, big impact, and so 0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:45.720 it's it's a tremendous thing to be you know, you're 0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:48.480 playing with James Ennis out there and you really don't 0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:50.720 have anybody close to a center. When you had Mike 0:07:50.760 --> 0:07:53.760 out there, he's playing the five, but you know, nobody 0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:57.320 was even close. So a really hard fought, gutty win. 0:07:57.440 --> 0:07:59.440 And you know, let's face it, this is the game 0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:02.520 that in years past the Sixers lose, and they could 0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:04.960 have lost this game. I mean to me, the possession 0:08:05.040 --> 0:08:08.680 for Charlotte that would haunt them. They put Bridges in 0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:10.720 the game and he takes a three and it was 0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:14.320 nowhere near going in when Lamb had been other than 0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:17.840 missing that last shot, certainly a viable option. I was 0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:21.800 gonna go unstoppable. But Kema Walker's out there, and so 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:24.680 for them to go in a huge possession without their 0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:28.360 best player touching the ball, that to me, if I'm 0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:32.079 James Morego, I'm really disappointed with that. But no doubt, 0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:36.280 obviously another huge game tomorrow. And you know, for me, 0:08:37.559 --> 0:08:40.240 at some point the Sixers, I know they beat Boston 0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:42.280 last year. They may have taken one game from them 0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:45.000 in the in the previous season, but you know, and 0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:47.360 they won the one playoff plank game, but you gotta 0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:49.760 beat Boston that. I mean, if the Milwaukee game was 0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:54.000 a statement game, it's also a confidence booster for oneself. 0:08:54.520 --> 0:08:57.679 And you know, Boston, you can say what you want about, 0:08:57.679 --> 0:08:59.720 oh this is problem. Well, they don't have problems against 0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:03.240 the six They play awful good, awful good against the Sixers. 0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:05.640 So it's a major game. It's a it's a big 0:09:05.679 --> 0:09:08.840 time rival. No matter what Joellabeat says, you gotta win 0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:10.719 for it to be. It's a rivalry and it is 0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:13.160 a heated rivalry, and it's back and it's back in 0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:15.720 its best for him, and hopefully the Sixers will show 0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:19.280 what they can do tomorrow. Shame on me, major violation too. 0:09:19.840 --> 0:09:22.680 Even let it go this along without bringing up JJ Raddick. 0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:25.240 I mean, he was just tremendous to night, twenty seven points, 0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:27.800 ten rebounds, eight assists. And I don't know about you, 0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:31.080 Tom but being able to watch him in this phase 0:09:31.120 --> 0:09:33.760 and stage of his career, I mean, obviously logic would 0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:36.480 dictate that he's only getting older and he's putting more 0:09:36.520 --> 0:09:39.280 tread on the tires. But these last two seasons he's 0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:42.439 been outstanding and a joy to watch and tonight with 0:09:42.480 --> 0:09:44.680 at Joe ellenbad he was doing everything in that charge. 0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:47.480 He took two with about four minutes to go big Now, 0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:50.120 and Reddick is a you know you hear the phrase 0:09:50.160 --> 0:09:53.280 he's a professional. Well, you know, he really takes that 0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:56.480 at this stage of his career. He knows what it 0:09:56.520 --> 0:10:00.560 takes to get ready, and he prepares unlike anything I've 0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:03.200 ever seen before. And Jimmy Butler's this way too, I guess. 0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:06.880 But you know, not only does he prepare his body 0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:09.120 so he can go through the rigors and he can 0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:13.720 play at the pace that he plays with. But because 0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:15.760 he's not you know, you watch Jay j Reddick run, 0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:19.480 He's not He's chugging down the floor. He's not a sprinter, 0:10:19.600 --> 0:10:21.560 you know what I mean. He's not the fastest guy. 0:10:21.960 --> 0:10:25.479 He's not the biggest jumper. He has a world class 0:10:25.480 --> 0:10:29.560 skill in shooting three point shots with sniper in a 0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:34.840 basketball sense like capabilities, and so that really boils it 0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:37.560 down where he that's his shot right there. Now. Don't 0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:39.280 get me wrong, he can make some twos and he 0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:42.439 makes he makes a lot of basketball plays. But his 0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:45.400 ability and what makes him stand apart and why he's 0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:48.440 in the game at this stage and able to excel 0:10:48.960 --> 0:10:51.520 is his three point shooting. And he's doing it when 0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:55.439 the defense has an express desire and purpose of trying 0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:57.679 to stop him from doing it with double teaming him 0:10:57.720 --> 0:11:00.720 and running him off the line and night. This is 0:11:00.720 --> 0:11:04.120 where Charlotte, you know, they had some instances where Harris 0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:07.840 got a dunk, Ben got a dunk, and here my point, 0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:11.560 they left JJ Reddick wide open, including his last three 0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:14.440 was a wide open shot, and that just can't You 0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:17.160 cannot have that type of breakdown in a close game 0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:20.160 for a basketball team that's trying to get into the playoffs. 0:11:20.440 --> 0:11:23.920 And they showed some weakness there. But Reddick was absolutely incredible, 0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:26.640 and as Brett Brown noted postgame, you know they needed it. 0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:29.840 When you don't have a bed scoring thirty plus points 0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:32.880 a game, twenty seven's is average, you need guys to 0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:36.920 step up, and Reddick was incredible here tonight special performance 0:11:36.960 --> 0:11:40.319 by JJ seventy six ers defeat the Charlotte Hornets eighteen 0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:43.080 one fourteen James and his time. I feel like, just 0:11:43.280 --> 0:11:46.080 my gut instinct is that many of his baskets have 0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:48.360 not been hollow baskets this year. It seems like he's 0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:50.319 coming up with a corner three or something like that 0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:52.520 at a timely moment. He did tonight to make him 0:11:52.520 --> 0:11:54.559 one fifteen, one to eleven. And then if he goes 0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:56.920 to the hoop, he makes some tough, tough shots and 0:11:57.040 --> 0:12:01.280 really athletic plays as well, no doubt about it. And again, 0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:04.400 when your team is trying to achieve something special, you 0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:06.920 need players that maybe you didn't expect and obviously didn't 0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:10.080 even start the season with the Sixers and who knew. 0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:12.679 I mean, we've seen him with Houston before, same thing 0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:15.520 with Jonathan Simmons. You don't really know what you're gonna 0:12:15.559 --> 0:12:19.199 get when Elton Brand acquires these guys, and now we're 0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:20.760 seeing where not only is he going to be a 0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:24.439 rotation player, but he's somebody that can provide quite a bit. 0:12:24.480 --> 0:12:27.920 And tonight it was defense and it was an incredible ability. 0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:31.080 You know, that one shot was just crazy and he 0:12:31.160 --> 0:12:33.920 made it, and then that three that just a huge 0:12:33.920 --> 0:12:36.240 that that's kind of like, if you're gonna say one 0:12:36.280 --> 0:12:38.880 thing about his offensive game, that's what Brett Brown says. 0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:42.440 He's a corner three point shooter and he made a 0:12:42.480 --> 0:12:45.520 big time shot there and again, I know Mike Scott 0:12:45.600 --> 0:12:48.439 was a non factoring fouled out. But that's what you're 0:12:48.480 --> 0:12:51.200 hoping for, you know, to me, You're you're looking at, 0:12:52.040 --> 0:12:55.080 you know, these types of games, these types of performances 0:12:55.080 --> 0:12:58.200 with the big shots. Speaking of Edison, Mike Scott has 0:12:58.240 --> 0:13:00.800 done it already in the brief time that he's been 0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:03.240 with the Sixers, you know, in the playoffs, and it 0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:05.960 might be a three or two three's or you know, 0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:08.840 a couple three in a row of really good plays 0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:11.800 because you're not going to play. They're not playing thirty 0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:14.360 five minutes. Mike Scott might get to twenty four or something, 0:13:14.360 --> 0:13:16.720 but and this is likely to play less than twenty 0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:19.040 minutes per game. And today he was in there with 0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:21.800 a lineup where you know, he was basically the five 0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:23.760 man believe it or not, you know, with how they 0:13:23.760 --> 0:13:26.160 were playing. So yeah, I think he's going to be 0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:29.760 a big time contributor here in the last eleven games 0:13:29.960 --> 0:13:34.000 and hopefully in eleven plus playoff games. There's one last 0:13:34.040 --> 0:13:36.880 quick thought on Tomorrow night, tom No, Gordon Hayward looks 0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:39.080 like for the Celtics he's out in terms of the 0:13:39.120 --> 0:13:44.040 concussion protocol, and Al Horford is probable right, Well, they 0:13:44.120 --> 0:13:47.079 got Kyrie, right, I think they do. Yeah, Okay, well 0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:50.679 there you go. If they have Kyrie and Al Horford, 0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:53.320 lookout because those are the guys that have really I 0:13:53.320 --> 0:13:55.320 mean not in the playoffs last year with Kyrie, but 0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:59.240 certainly on Christmas. Kyrie, I mean he's just an incredible, 0:13:59.280 --> 0:14:03.360 almost unst appable player. And Horford has really really hurt 0:14:03.400 --> 0:14:06.520 the Sixers. And Heyward obviously has had some huge games 0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:10.920 for Boston but has not played that much against the Sixers. 0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:13.760 And you know, I forget, maybe I should say they 0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:16.160 have Tatum, right, because the Tatum has really hurt the Sixers, 0:14:16.160 --> 0:14:18.679 and they have enough over there, and you know, like 0:14:18.720 --> 0:14:20.560 I said, they're ups and downs and whatever, and you 0:14:20.640 --> 0:14:23.120 hear about their demise. Well, you know, I don't see 0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:25.080 that against the Sixers. So it's going to be a 0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:28.440 specially charged atmosphere. The Sixers come off the road having 0:14:28.480 --> 0:14:31.000 won these two games and have won five in a row. 0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:34.560 Joel is back, It's Sixers, It's Celtics. We'll have the 0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:37.160 called on the radio. Can't wait. Started at seven o'clock. 0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:38.920 Talked you a little bit before then, Tom, Thank you, 0:14:38.960 --> 0:14:42.600 Bryank and Knight seventy Sixers overcome the Charlotte Hornets by 0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:46.440 the score of one eighteen to one, fourteen twenty two 0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:50.480 league changes and fifteen ties.

Let us get now to the 0:15:38.920 --> 0:15:42.080 highlights segment of tonight's postgame show. It was a pretty 0:15:42.080 --> 0:15:44.440 solid start for the seventy Sixers, and right in the 0:15:44.440 --> 0:15:47.520 mix of it was Ben Simmons thirteen to eleven sevens 0:15:47.520 --> 0:15:51.480 takes free with a jam and Jay Perego wants time out. 0:15:51.640 --> 0:15:56.080 He's seen two lackbuster plays defensively and he takes a break. 0:15:56.160 --> 0:16:00.240 Just four minutes ended his game. Charlotte started chip Way 0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:03.400 grinding things out, and the seventy Sixers lead was just 0:16:03.520 --> 0:16:06.680 at a point thirty one thirty going into the second quarter. 0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:09.640 In the second quarter, the Sixers got some separation back 0:16:09.720 --> 0:16:12.640 courtesy of JJ Reddick. Father this time keeps it to 0:16:12.720 --> 0:16:15.880 the corner out of Reddick, and another three by JJ 0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:22.280 Reddick five pries twenty one points Sixers by seven at 0:16:22.280 --> 0:16:24.760 that point. That established new season high for scoring for 0:16:24.880 --> 0:16:27.240 JJ Reddick in the first half and tied a season 0:16:27.320 --> 0:16:29.360 high for three pointers made in the opening twenty four 0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:31.800 minutes of play. Charlotte kept the heat on a little bit, 0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:33.880 got within four, and the seventy Sixers got a high 0:16:33.960 --> 0:16:36.160 energy play from a guy who came up large late 0:16:36.160 --> 0:16:38.800 in the game. Here's a steal lead passed down to 0:16:38.840 --> 0:16:41.800 Butler and Jimmy throws it back to Annis who jams 0:16:41.840 --> 0:16:45.720 it James and is fighting with a two hand jam. 0:16:46.560 --> 0:16:49.720 Seventy Sixers lead was just sixty two. Fifty nine had intermission. 0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:52.680 Charlotte stepping things up in the third quarter, getting that 0:16:52.840 --> 0:16:55.400 much tenser and the seventy Sixers we're trying to keep 0:16:55.400 --> 0:16:58.880 the Hornets at back top task for bullets. Fed steals 0:16:58.880 --> 0:17:01.760 the outlet, but m with a bad pass and now 0:17:01.800 --> 0:17:04.600 Simmons around but two twist set up on the right 0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:08.000 to left attack on the goal. One of the smoothest 0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:10.399 scoring games you'll see from Ben Simmons. That put the 0:17:10.400 --> 0:17:14.000 Sixers back in front by two, seventy two to seventy. 0:17:14.040 --> 0:17:16.600 At the end of three quarters, however, it was Charlotte 0:17:16.640 --> 0:17:19.640 leading eighty nine to eighty five. At one point. They 0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:21.920 went on a pretty substantial run of the tune of 0:17:22.040 --> 0:17:24.560 eight zip to get in the front, and that would 0:17:24.560 --> 0:17:27.040 set up the seventy Sixers to play come from behind 0:17:27.480 --> 0:17:30.159 in the fourth quarter. JJ Reddick had a little bit 0:17:30.200 --> 0:17:31.920 of a dip in the third that he was back 0:17:31.960 --> 0:17:34.320 on it in the fourth. Here's JJ for three and 0:17:34.400 --> 0:17:38.320 he's back. Rennick out top a quick strike triple straight away, 0:17:38.480 --> 0:17:42.320 great release and Reddick tocks it out and the seventy 0:17:42.320 --> 0:17:45.200 Sixers were within two. At that point, JJ Reddick the 0:17:45.280 --> 0:17:47.879 go ahead three pointer. As the fourth quarter started to 0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:50.400 wind up, Here's Reddick quite up at three four eight, 0:17:50.520 --> 0:17:55.399 it's gone. Nobody guarded him and James Perego takes time 0:17:55.480 --> 0:18:00.000 for they have had some deficiencies. Hottia leave JJ Reddick 0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:04.640 wide open. He bakes a pay is seventh three. Simmons 0:18:04.720 --> 0:18:08.119 drove to the fillin reverse pivot pitch back, and Reddick 0:18:08.240 --> 0:18:11.240 rattles in a triple. That was with just under five 0:18:11.280 --> 0:18:14.400 minutes to go in regulation. With the Charlotte Hornets, they 0:18:14.400 --> 0:18:17.159 would not go away. At one point, they would manage 0:18:17.160 --> 0:18:20.080 to tie things up at one O nine. Jimmy Butler 0:18:20.119 --> 0:18:23.120 answers with a big three pointer. Charlotte got back within 0:18:23.200 --> 0:18:25.840 one the seventy sixers. They got a big rebound from 0:18:25.880 --> 0:18:29.439 Tobaia's hairs, and then that set up this. Jimmy Butler 0:18:29.440 --> 0:18:32.200 with a ball eight to shoot on the reset one 0:18:32.240 --> 0:18:36.040 point in Philadelphia leads Here's Butler into the corner. Ennis 0:18:36.080 --> 0:18:39.359 shot in the air. It's good. James Ennis, with his 0:18:39.560 --> 0:18:43.840 biggest shot, has a Philadelphia seventy sixer. He puts it 0:18:43.920 --> 0:18:49.840 in sixers by four eighteen seconds to go twelve point one. 0:18:49.880 --> 0:18:53.760 Seconds left after James Ennis the third foul Lamb to 0:18:53.960 --> 0:18:57.000 potentially make things a little bit tighter. Lamb through three 0:18:57.200 --> 0:18:59.240 drew the foul, so he made it a one fifteen 0:18:59.600 --> 0:19:03.200 one fourteen game to buyas Harris would split free throws 0:19:03.200 --> 0:19:07.160 with eight point two seconds left one sixteen one fourteen. 0:19:07.480 --> 0:19:10.399 This the pivotal possession in the final seconds place into 0:19:10.480 --> 0:19:13.920 Jeremy Lambs six seconds to go. He drives, he shoots, 0:19:13.960 --> 0:19:17.480 it's up and no good. Rebound down to Harris and 0:19:17.680 --> 0:19:20.880 finally they file with point eight to go, so they 0:19:20.920 --> 0:19:24.159 went for the two. Jeremy Lamb driving it on TJ 0:19:24.359 --> 0:19:28.640 McConnell and a shot went, hit it out but no good. Amazing. 0:19:28.720 --> 0:19:31.200 He did everything talking about Lamb but make the basket. 0:19:31.280 --> 0:19:33.800 Put the move on. TJ was right there and it 0:19:33.920 --> 0:19:36.280 rimmed out. You could hear the shot in Tom's voice 0:19:36.480 --> 0:19:37.960 to buy his Harris to go back to the way 0:19:37.960 --> 0:19:39.440 and ice the game with a couple of free throws 0:19:39.440 --> 0:19:42.480 in the seventy sixers would end things on a winning note. 0:19:42.480 --> 0:19:45.800 One eighteen one fourteen sixers shot and even fifty percent 0:19:45.840 --> 0:19:47.399 for the game. The Hornets were forty three and a 0:19:47.400 --> 0:19:50.040 half percent seventy six ers two better from three. They 0:19:50.040 --> 0:19:54.119 had eleven triples to Charlotte's nine Hornets costly eleven misses. 0:19:54.480 --> 0:19:56.359 From the free throw line, they were thirty three of 0:19:56.480 --> 0:19:59.280 forty four in a game this tight. Seventy Sixers also 0:19:59.320 --> 0:20:03.119 shot seventy twenty one of twenty eight. Charlotte was plus 0:20:03.119 --> 0:20:06.120 two on the glass, plus four in terms of offensive rebounds. 0:20:06.119 --> 0:20:08.399 Seventy six Ers just seven turnovers in the game. That 0:20:08.560 --> 0:20:12.639 was good to see. Nine four the Hornets twenty one points. 0:20:12.640 --> 0:20:15.480 Four Kemba Walker. He came alive late to give the 0:20:15.520 --> 0:20:17.560 Hornets a chance. He was plagued with foul trouble in 0:20:17.600 --> 0:20:20.359 the first half, only played the first six minutes of 0:20:20.400 --> 0:20:22.919 the game. Jeremy Lamb with twenty six points and eleven 0:20:22.920 --> 0:20:25.560 rebounds off the bench for the seventy six ers. Ben 0:20:25.600 --> 0:20:28.119 Simmons with the team high end game high scoring total 0:20:28.520 --> 0:20:30.879 of twenty eight points to go with eight rebounds and 0:20:31.080 --> 0:20:34.359 five assists, plus two block shots twenty seven for JJ 0:20:34.480 --> 0:20:37.639 Reddick ten rebounds, his first double double between college and 0:20:37.720 --> 0:20:40.840 the pros. Almost had a triple double with eight assists 0:20:40.880 --> 0:20:42.800 twenty three points for Jimmy Butler to go with nine 0:20:42.800 --> 0:20:46.639 assists twenty two and eleven for Tobias Harris. Harris was 0:20:46.680 --> 0:20:50.240 plus thirteen in the game the starting corps in terms 0:20:50.240 --> 0:20:52.720 of tonight's game. For those guys who are available, obviously 0:20:52.760 --> 0:20:57.280 not Joel Embiid, Butler, Harris, Reddick and Simmons all playing 0:20:57.640 --> 0:21:00.399 close to thirty eight minutes. And obviously the Xers have 0:21:00.440 --> 0:21:03.360 a tough back to back with Boston tomorrow, but who 0:21:03.400 --> 0:21:05.040 knows what type of energy is going to be in 0:21:05.080 --> 0:21:07.920 the building. Joel Embiid is going to be back all 0:21:08.800 --> 0:21:11.879
