Speaker 1: This is seventy Sixers rewind time now to listen back
Speaker 1: to postgame reaction from the team's most recent game. No
Speaker 1: what game winning herods from Jimmy Butler tonight as the
Speaker 1: seventy Sixers lose to the Atlanta Hawks one twenty three,
Speaker 1: one twenty one. I'm Brian Seltz from Sixers dot Com.
Speaker 1: No games like this, don't do this to your voice.
Speaker 1: It's just a thing passing through the dreaded upper respiratory infection.
Speaker 1: So we'll try and keep it short and appreciate your patients.
Speaker 1: Tough one for the Sixers tonight Atlanta. Early on, you
Speaker 1: could tell it was going to be a team that
Speaker 1: was just going to hang around and not go away,
Speaker 1: and certainly that was the case, and the number nineteen
Speaker 1: pick in this year's draft, Kevin Herder a huge hero
Speaker 1: in the game, going off for twenty six points. Jimmy
Speaker 1: Butler unfortunately miss his first free throw with two point
Speaker 1: four seconds to go. He then had to miss his second.
Speaker 1: He did Wilson Chandler an opportunity for a tippin. It
Speaker 1: was not to be young guys for the Hawks. They
Speaker 1: stepped up John Collins with twenty three points nine rebounds.
Speaker 1: He was a live body inside. You mentioned Herd with
Speaker 1: twenty six Trey Young came on strong later eighteen points
Speaker 1: in the game for him with three three pointers, and
Speaker 1: Dwayne Deadman, a veteran member of this crew, nineteen points,
Speaker 1: eight rebounds, and seven assists. He was a key factor
Speaker 1: in tonight's game, and it's tough to not think of
Speaker 1: what could have been had Joel Embiid been out there
Speaker 1: for the seventy Sixers. Atlanta got a lot of baskets
Speaker 1: inside to the tune of sixty two points in the paint.
Speaker 1: They out rebound of the seventy Sixers by a total
Speaker 1: of fourteen in the game. Just a very, very big
Speaker 1: shown for Atlanta inside thirty for Jimmy Butler's four thirty
Speaker 1: point game with the Sixers. Ben Simmons becomes the first
Speaker 1: six Ers since Daya Barrows in nineteen ninety five with
Speaker 1: a twenty ten and fifteen game. He was great, but
Speaker 1: not enough for the seventy Sixers as they lose one
Speaker 1: twenty three two one twenty one. Tom I'm gonna stop
Speaker 1: talking and stop squeaking my voice if you would care
Speaker 1: to expound on what you saw being the turning point
Speaker 1: in this game. In hey, maybe he came early on well,
Speaker 1: and I hate to correct you because you're so good
Speaker 1: with all the numbers, but herder at twenty nine because
Speaker 1: if he had twenty six or six ers would have one.
Speaker 1: I was looking at the wrong box, but he so
Speaker 1: it was a two point game. But did you see
Speaker 1: what his nickname was. It's the Red Mamba. That's fun boy.
Speaker 1: Brett Brown uses the phrase from Time for time He's
Speaker 1: got bounce and it talks about a guy you know
Speaker 1: that gets up on his toes and you know, you
Speaker 1: know what it means, and he does. Man, he was
Speaker 1: out top dribbling, crossing it over behind the back, between
Speaker 1: the legs and getting into a rhythm dribble and twenty
Speaker 1: eight footer. I think that was his last basket was
Speaker 1: a three. He had five threes, but he had a
Speaker 1: bunch of dunks too. I mean, like I said, Atlanta
Speaker 1: needs players. So you could go and say, why did
Speaker 1: they give up on Luca don Jig? Why did they
Speaker 1: because they need they needed another They're getting another draft
Speaker 1: pick next year. They need more players, and they're they're
Speaker 1: they're crewing them. I mean John Collins, as you said
Speaker 1: with twenty five the game winning shot. Coach Pierce, you
Speaker 1: know he's gonna bring that fight and that spirit and
Speaker 1: they're not going to quit. And they didn't. And to
Speaker 1: their credit again they lost by two in Toronto Tuesday
Speaker 1: and led throughout a lot of that game. Ser Jibaka
Speaker 1: had a game winning shot. Was seventeen seconds ago. They
Speaker 1: on Wednesday night. The following night, they were up nineteen
Speaker 1: on the nets. Brooklyn came back and won, and they
Speaker 1: won handily. But tonight they hung around, stayed with it
Speaker 1: and won the game. And for the Sixers, so Jimmy
Speaker 1: Butler was brilliant. He had thirty points and again last
Speaker 1: second shot, Like he said, no heroics tonight, but in
Speaker 1: his defense and again he made twelve free throws in
Speaker 1: a row. And we still don't know if he did
Speaker 1: miss that second free throw on purpose. That's the closest
Speaker 1: on purpose miss I've ever seen, so he might have
Speaker 1: tried to make it. And the Sixers had a shot,
Speaker 1: not only Wilson Chandler, but Ben Simmons came flying in
Speaker 1: there for a rebound putback. There was two and a
Speaker 1: half seconds ago. Neither guy could get it, and the
Speaker 1: game ended. But my point is Jimmy Butler got an elbow.
Speaker 1: I mean it ended up being a flagrant foul on
Speaker 1: Alex Lynn, so he took a tremendous shot to the head.
Speaker 1: And then later as he drove baseline by the Atlanta bench,
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler was knocked out hard by John Collins. So,
Speaker 1: you know, at one point, with like fourteen minutes to
Speaker 1: go in the game, two plus minutes to go in
Speaker 1: the third, I was saying Butler and Simmons give him
Speaker 1: a little respite in the fourth, but let them play
Speaker 1: the rest of the game. And Jimmy Butler almost did.
Speaker 1: He did get a little break with about eight minutes
Speaker 1: to go. But the point is that I mean that
Speaker 1: that's like boxing. You know, it's not just dancing around
Speaker 1: for twelve rounds or whatever. I mean, you're taking shots.
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler was taking some shots out there, and he
Speaker 1: played with the heart of a champion. He just couldn't
Speaker 1: get it done tonight. JJ struggled early on but stepped
Speaker 1: up big. Muscala was big, but he ended up in
Speaker 1: fouled difficulty. This the end of the first half, there
Speaker 1: was so many whistles in an unrhythmic like tough, tough way.
Speaker 1: A lot of turnovers didn't didn't really help there. But
Speaker 1: again a young team and in all due respect to
Speaker 1: just let them hang around a little bit and they
Speaker 1: made enough plays to win the game. Tough loss for
Speaker 1: the Sixers. You know, you look back and you're like, well,
Speaker 1: Cleveland came in here in one handily and now Atlanta
Speaker 1: come in here, comes in here and gains to win.
Speaker 1: So you're right about and beat in the presence of Wilmaion.
Speaker 1: They don't get sixty two points of milimaion that the
Speaker 1: big fellows out there. But great win for them and
Speaker 1: a hard tough loss. Back to back losses. Now for
Speaker 1: the Sixers after four wins in a row, twenty one.
Speaker 1: The final Scorehawks over the seventy six Ers. You could
Speaker 1: hear Trey Young talking about it afterwards, like they took
Speaker 1: this game real seriously for multiple reasons. They respect the
Speaker 1: seventy Sixers is one of the best teams in the league.
Speaker 1: Lloyd Pierce coming back, some of the young guys made
Speaker 1: really tough shots. That turn around by Collins with time
Speaker 1: winding down. I mean that for a guy his size,
Speaker 1: not an easy shot to me. He's like a young
Speaker 1: I don't want to say many, but like Blake Griffin's,
Speaker 1: he's really got a lot of potential. Here's the thing.
Speaker 1: They're in a rebuild, but they've got talent. They're gonna
Speaker 1: win games just by playing hard and trotting out there.
Speaker 1: Those young guys. They got enough veterans in the likes
Speaker 1: of Jeremy Lynn who played well. Thought DeAndre Bembry was
Speaker 1: an unheralded star and I don't know if stars the
Speaker 1: right word, but he wasn't, like I say, an integral
Speaker 1: player for them, getting rebounds, tough defense, bringing the ball up,
Speaker 1: setting up guys. Maybe not the gaudy numbers of Hurder
Speaker 1: and John Collins, but he really played well. And then
Speaker 1: Trey Young, I mean they replaced him down the stretch
Speaker 1: with Jeremy Lynn because they knew that limb with that
Speaker 1: veteran savvy was going to get them into something or
Speaker 1: at least get the ball to Hurder. But Trey Young
Speaker 1: had three three So yeah, this is a huge, huge
Speaker 1: win for them, and for the six years, you got
Speaker 1: a regroup and hope that Joelle is able to give
Speaker 1: it a go against the Knicks on Sunday, and you know, look,
Speaker 1: this is a tough league. There's nothing that you can
Speaker 1: take for granted, h and tonight is a perfect example
Speaker 1: of why and how that's so. Twenty one the final score.
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons tough for the free throw line, but all
Speaker 1: in all, he made his presence felt and he had
Speaker 1: one of his signature trademark versatile games. Yeah, and you
Speaker 1: know you say versatile, like for one thing, he's the
Speaker 1: Sixers point guard and he took the center jump. I
Speaker 1: just I get a kick out of that. And without
Speaker 1: Jewell down there on the block, the Sixers post had
Speaker 1: been early and often, and then he's so efficient at
Speaker 1: driving and getting that ball in the lane. Now a
Speaker 1: little bit you didn't see a whole lot of that
Speaker 1: down the stretch. But you know, overall the Sixers they
Speaker 1: needed a little bit more like Landry Shammont. You know,
Speaker 1: not that you're gonna expect twenty nine points in eight
Speaker 1: threes in every game, but there's been a big drop
Speaker 1: off over the last two games for him, and Furkon
Speaker 1: was a non factor tonight. And you remember too, he
Speaker 1: started the last two games. And Jonah Bolden got in
Speaker 1: and had a bit of a tough game. So other
Speaker 1: than McConnell, off the bench, Bolden and Shammon combined for nine,
Speaker 1: and you know, the Sixers struggled with those reserves. And
Speaker 1: again I think you know, as Brett Brown was talking
Speaker 1: about it and we touched on early in our postgame coverage,
Speaker 1: but the rebound disparity was a big factor in this
Speaker 1: game where they were plus fourteen plus ten on the
Speaker 1: offensive or defensive end of things. And just to an
Speaker 1: overall tough night, exciting game. I mean, if you will,
Speaker 1: take away from the fact that, boy, I can't believe
Speaker 1: the Sixers lost to Atlanta, but twenty one ties a
Speaker 1: league went back and forth and it came down to
Speaker 1: the very final second. So heartbreaking loss for the Sixers.
Speaker 1: And you know, you'd like to think that you've graduated
Speaker 1: from these types of losses, but like I said, it's
Speaker 1: life in the NBA. Sixers lose the Hawks one twenty three,
Speaker 1: one twenty one. Tom talked to you on Sunday afternoon
Speaker 1: from MSG. All right, tonight, we'll have more to come

Speaker 1: Seltzer back with a croakey voice. Apologies for that. We'll
Speaker 1: get to some of the highlights and let Tommy give
Speaker 1: us calls to the talking A one twenty three one
Speaker 1: twenty one loss. Early on was apparent that the Hawks
Speaker 1: had come here ready to battle. Ben Simmons in the
Speaker 1: absence of Joel Bead was trying to do his part.
Speaker 1: Now the boll thrown away by German and TJ with
Speaker 1: it three forty to go in the open the quarter,
Speaker 1: McConnell weeby goes to seven Simmons in the lane right
Speaker 1: hand lamp good. Simmons takes two large steps for man
Speaker 1: Fine in the lane and got the layup and TJ.
Speaker 1: McConnell with the assists. Simmons a strong first quarter, but
Speaker 1: it was the Hawks leading thirty two to thirty after
Speaker 1: one period of play. In the second, the Sixers enjoyed
Speaker 1: their biggest separation of the night, this basket giving them
Speaker 1: their largest lead. Here's Ben Simmons and Mascota opened three
Speaker 1: shot Ery got it again, Mike Vascala with three threes.
Speaker 1: Atlanta takes time and the Sixers have opened up and
Speaker 1: eight point lead at ten oh start to the second quarter,
Speaker 1: Vescala letting them fly. It was forty to thirty two,
Speaker 1: but Atlanta would score eight straight points to tie it
Speaker 1: up and the race was on. After that, you just
Speaker 1: knew the Hawks would not go away. Jimmy Butler scored
Speaker 1: eight to the final ten points for the Sixers in
Speaker 1: the second quarter. It was fifty six to fifty four
Speaker 1: Sixers at the half. Early on an explosive start to
Speaker 1: the third, down to Simmons. Simmons with a dribble and
Speaker 1: the Sixers everybody touched it but Wilson, Chandler and Simmons
Speaker 1: down low right with a power dribble in a right
Speaker 1: hand lay up. Fifty eight. Fifty four was the score
Speaker 1: of The Hawks would have charge right back. They would
Speaker 1: take a six point lead on an eleven to two runs.
Speaker 1: So it was uphill from there from the seventy sixers.
Speaker 1: They got a spark from the bench in the closing
Speaker 1: minutes of the third, three ball by the Hawks front
Speaker 1: rubbing off Nope, Sixers Chammon with a pass Chimmin Doun
Speaker 1: then eight right hand lap Yeah, Simmons with the great
Speaker 1: two hand chest pass three quarters of length of the floor.
Speaker 1: The three minutes into the fourth, Atlanta would be leading
Speaker 1: by six. The seventy sixers had some work to do.
Speaker 1: JJ Reddick was back after a two game absence. He
Speaker 1: was looking to find his stroke. He caught it late.
Speaker 1: Simmons back out to JJ. Three ball by Reddick's good.
Speaker 1: He's back Jay Jay Reddick ties in at one O three.
Speaker 1: He makes the defensive play and then gets open on
Speaker 1: the right perimeter and barries the outside shot. Time out
Speaker 1: Hawks seven minutes to go is when that basket happened.
Speaker 1: Over the next couple of minutes. The Sixers would get
Speaker 1: a key three pointer from TJ. McConnell took up one
Speaker 1: nineteen to one eighteen, and then that was followed by
Speaker 1: some pivotal insurance. Butler one on one with John Collins
Speaker 1: five to shoot, Jimmy into the lane, Jimmy puts it
Speaker 1: up off the glass, and then Jimmy Butler puts it
Speaker 1: off the glass. Sixers five three, Butler with thirty one eighteen.
Speaker 1: This Kevin Hurder fellow, he was huge for the Hawks.
Speaker 1: He had another three pointer tied up at one twenty one.
Speaker 1: With twenty five and a half seconds ago, Jimmy Butler
Speaker 1: was doubled for the seventy sixers and the ball was
Speaker 1: turned over, and that set up one of the key
Speaker 1: shots of the game. Hurder gets the ball. TJ. There
Speaker 1: Wilson Chandler now switches on Hurd. Hurder with five. Hurt
Speaker 1: Her with the dribble. Hurder bounces downlow right John Collins
Speaker 1: two step back shot by Collins is up head good
Speaker 1: nine point five to go and John Collins steps out
Speaker 1: and gets the bucket his twenty fifth point in the game,
Speaker 1: and that made it one, twenty three, one twenty one.
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler would be fouled with two point four seconds left.
Speaker 1: He missed his first and then had to miss a second,
Speaker 1: so Wilson Chandler unable to get the tip in the
Speaker 1: fall on. The seventy sixers end up falling one twenty
Speaker 1: three two one twenty one. Some final notes from the
Speaker 1: stat sheet. Jimmy Butler let all scores with thirty. Ben
Speaker 1: Simmons with twenty three points, ten rebounds, fifteen assists, ten
Speaker 1: of thirteen from the field, three of seven from the
Speaker 1: free throw line minus twelve for the game, twenty for
Speaker 1: JJ Reddick. He came on strong late, but seven or
Speaker 1: twenty one from the field, four fourteen from three. T
Speaker 1: J McConnell had a really great game. Perhaps you can
Speaker 1: make the case the most impactful game of any six
Speaker 1: er plus fourteen in the box score, sixteen points, six assists,
Speaker 1: and just one turnover for the Hawks. They were led
Speaker 1: by Kevin Hurder with twenty nine twenty five for John Collins.
Speaker 1: He also had nine rebounds, eighteen for Trey Young, nineteen
Speaker 1: for Dwayne Deadman to go with eight rebounds and seven assists.
Speaker 1: A great game from him fourteen former Atlanta Hawk and
Speaker 1: a bigger pardon former Saint Joseph's Hawk and current Atlanta
Speaker 1: Hawk DeAndre Bembrey. Seventy six Ers have dropped two in
Speaker 1: a row there now twenty seven and sixteen. Atlanta is
Speaker 1: thirteen and twenty nine on the year. I'm next for
Speaker 1: the six Ers one o'clock on Sunday at MSG versus
Speaker 1: the next big thanks to the guys back at the
