Speaker 1: This is seventy Sixers rewind time now to listen back
Speaker 1: to postgame reaction from the team's most recent game. It
Speaker 1: was not a game winning triple, but it was a
Speaker 1: phenomenal three minutes to close the game tonight, delivered on
Speaker 1: both ends of the court by Jimmy Butler one fourteen,
Speaker 1: one oh six, Butler leading the way, helping the seventy
Speaker 1: Sixers to a hard funt victory tonight against an Orlando
Speaker 1: Magic team that just would not go oi. I'm Brian
Speaker 1: Seltzer from Sixers dot Com. I believe we have Brett
Speaker 1: Brown at the podium led us hear what the head
Speaker 1: coach thinks to Kyle's point that you know, the game
Speaker 1: speaks and we have firepower and sometimes that's just going
Speaker 1: to happen to you know, Tobias or Joel and like,
Speaker 1: I love the pace that we played at, I love
Speaker 1: the sharing. I'm would have eighteen and nineteen assists in
Speaker 1: the first half, like we had had another big number
Speaker 1: in the first half, and we had seventy points against
Speaker 1: the seventh best defensive team in the NBA that is
Speaker 1: fighting their hearts out for a playoff spot. They beat
Speaker 1: Golden State Warriors you know, well, four days ago, a
Speaker 1: week ago, whatever it was, and so the ball moved,
Speaker 1: people play, the game speaks, and that's how it played out.
Speaker 1: And I give him more credit than I do anything
Speaker 1: before the game about how important Mike is going to
Speaker 1: be you guys, especially in the playoffs, especially with those
Speaker 1: small lineups that are incrementally encouraged every game. We see
Speaker 1: a little bit more on that big three tonight at
Speaker 1: the end. Yeah, yes, I am, I am. And I
Speaker 1: think that you look at Ama Johnson, the work that
Speaker 1: he put in after we all get what his season
Speaker 1: has been, and what a week and a half ago
Speaker 1: he drove himself to Delaware so we could play in
Speaker 1: a G League game. A third thing about that, a
Speaker 1: thirteen year NBA veteran drives himself just so we can
Speaker 1: play basketball again. And I have tremendous amount of respect
Speaker 1: for his humility and his pride and his professionalism. And
Speaker 1: for me to see him go out there and play
Speaker 1: his best game of the year in a game where
Speaker 1: we're missing three of our centers, you know, it's uh,
Speaker 1: it's it's encouraging. It's a hell of a story. And
Speaker 1: I think the job that Mike Scott did when you
Speaker 1: talk about the appreciation and justin that came in and
Speaker 1: did some those three guys did a great job on
Speaker 1: an NBA All Star um and Mike showed his worth
Speaker 1: in other areas to your point, Sarah as well, four
Speaker 1: budget and a four quarter where he had had a
Speaker 1: flow of Actually the finders, whether he finds some few
Speaker 1: shots you missed you a year about four minutes too late.
Speaker 1: It's okay, I will, I'll be quick. He did, and
Speaker 1: he h. I thought because of the pace of the game,
Speaker 1: the floor of the game in the first half, you know,
Speaker 1: the game speaks, the game absorbed different players, and he
Speaker 1: was a part of Sharon and moving the ball and
Speaker 1: then uh, in the in the fourth period, he he
Speaker 1: really did stand out, stand up and we needed that
Speaker 1: a little bit of than Ben denies to me and
Speaker 1: to do you want to see more, get more cos
Speaker 1: there's lots of pairings that interests me, and it's more
Speaker 1: about who's guarding them when you make decisions of where
Speaker 1: you're gonna go. And uh, you know we put jh
Speaker 1: and stuff, we put Mike and Tobias, Ben and Tobias,
Speaker 1: Jimmy and Mike, like you can go different places and
Speaker 1: try to play in the middle of the floor and
Speaker 1: space it and just pick on some stuff and you know,
Speaker 1: play that style from time to time. Ideally, it's not
Speaker 1: the style I love. I like the pace, the flow,
Speaker 1: the ball movement. Like the first half we had seventy points,
Speaker 1: but sometimes you just got to go to places as
Speaker 1: you're talking about, and uh, those two did pair up well.
Speaker 1: But I think we have lots of possibilities that we
Speaker 1: can go to with with the team that Elton has
Speaker 1: put together. Seventy six ers fend off the pesky, playoff
Speaker 1: hungry Orlando Magic one fourteen one oh six on Brian
Speaker 1: Seltzer Jimmy Butler. I don't know about anyone else out
Speaker 1: there when you're thinking back about how this game unfolded
Speaker 1: and played itself out in the final minutes, that dude
Speaker 1: was off the charts both ends of the court. It
Speaker 1: was hanging. I mean, if you followed this game, if
Speaker 1: you listened, if you watched it, if you were down
Speaker 1: here at the arena and you're now going home, how
Speaker 1: long did it feel like this game was hanging at
Speaker 1: one one ninety nine and how many opportunities did it
Speaker 1: seem like the Magic had to go in front and
Speaker 1: take the lead. Yeah, Orlando's five games under five hundred,
Speaker 1: but they're in the eighth spot right now. They are
Speaker 1: trying to lock in playoff positioning. But then Jimmy Butler.
Speaker 1: It started with a timely wing jumper to give the
Speaker 1: seventy six Ers a four point lead at one oh
Speaker 1: three ninety nine. Then Jimmy comes up with a big
Speaker 1: steal the opposite way the Magic After a Ben Simmon,
Speaker 1: Smiths are able to close within a point on a
Speaker 1: three pointer, Butler goes back down the other way knocks
Speaker 1: down yet another fadeaway jumper from the wing on Orlando's possession.
Speaker 1: After that, Jimmy was matched up with an all star
Speaker 1: in Nick Vussovich who plays the five, and Jimmy, you
Speaker 1: know what, you probably put him in the two or
Speaker 1: the three. So Jimmy had Vussovich in the post, stripped
Speaker 1: the ball. This ropted the possession ultimately forced Orlando to settle.
Speaker 1: Will not settle. They had to take a Jonathan Isaac
Speaker 1: jump shot from the bassline with about a second on
Speaker 1: the shot clock. Jimmy all over that defensive possession. The
Speaker 1: Sixers get the stop and then in the ensuing trip
Speaker 1: down the floor, there's Jimmy recognizing the open man in
Speaker 1: the hot hand in Mike Scott bang three point or
Speaker 1: seventy Sixers took the lead at that point one eight
Speaker 1: one h two with forty eight point six seconds left,
Speaker 1: and he just felt like that was the moment that
Speaker 1: secured this game for the seventy six a game in
Speaker 1: which the Orlando Magic would not go away. And I
Speaker 1: think that Jimmy Butler has probably sacrificed and has had
Speaker 1: to adapt and adjust as much as any one of
Speaker 1: the starters, the regular starters the seventy sixers have put
Speaker 1: out this season amidst all the infusions of new talent
Speaker 1: that sort of thing. But man, did he shine when
Speaker 1: it mattered the most tonight. Fourteen points, two rebounds, four assists,
Speaker 1: three steals for Jimmy Butler. The box line does not
Speaker 1: do his impact justice. He did finish plus ten Tobias
Speaker 1: Harris with twenty one points, eight to fifteen from the field,
Speaker 1: twelve rebounds. He was big for the Sixers over the
Speaker 1: course of the evening. Great night from JJ Reddick, certainly
Speaker 1: in the first half twenty six points, six of nine
Speaker 1: from three point territories, sixteen for Ben Simmons to go
Speaker 1: with thirteen boards and eight assists, thirteen for a mere
Speaker 1: Johnson a mere nineteen minutes doing his thing, tying a
Speaker 1: season hind points scored. Also five rebounds in two blocks.
Speaker 1: Mike's got off the bench with eleven three of eight
Speaker 1: from outside the arc. He also had five rebounds, and
Speaker 1: I also, I thought, literally everyone John Simmons had a
Speaker 1: couple of key plays, justin Patton was thrust into action
Speaker 1: just as second NBA game ever. He had a couple
Speaker 1: rebounds and three assists. Just an all round well rounded
Speaker 1: night for the seventy Sixers as they beat the Orlando
Speaker 1: Magic one fourteen to one oh six. We'll talk about
Speaker 1: it more with Tom McGinnis coming up. It's the postgame

Speaker 1: fend off the Orlando Magic one fourteen to one oh
Speaker 1: six down here at the center. I'm Brian Selzer where
Speaker 1: joined now by Tom McGinnis. That was a that was
Speaker 1: a finished time. And Jimmy Butler, I mean, the jump
Speaker 1: shots were tremendous, but I thought his defense on those
Speaker 1: two plays, the first deal and then going up against
Speaker 1: Nick Vussovich with the game and the balance, he was great. Well,
Speaker 1: he's a smart player, and obviously he's giving up a
Speaker 1: little size, and frankly, Vussovich was a little bit off
Speaker 1: tonight and he's still finished with twelve and twelve. So
Speaker 1: when you know when you're defending on the block like
Speaker 1: that to a guy, you know his move. He's going
Speaker 1: into the middle and he's gonna shoot over the left
Speaker 1: shoulder with the right hand, and Jimmy Butler plays the angles,
Speaker 1: he's digging in there and he just did a great job.
Speaker 1: And then the second time he just came up with
Speaker 1: a steal, and boy, you talk about timely, I mean unbelievable. Again,
Speaker 1: he had, you know, going into the fourth quarter, I
Speaker 1: believe he had two field goals and maybe two or
Speaker 1: four free throws. But those four plays, the two step
Speaker 1: back shots and the two defensive plays, obviously the Sixers
Speaker 1: don't win the game without that. And then he passed
Speaker 1: it to Mike Scott for the three and that provided
Speaker 1: the margin of victory. Almost captured two elements of what
Speaker 1: we've seen from Jimmy Butler since he joined the seventy Sixers.
Speaker 1: Flashes of that is ice in the vein, put a
Speaker 1: game away, tight mold he's built his reputation on. But
Speaker 1: then also adapting and trying to make more of the
Speaker 1: right plays and reads when the Sixers having him initiate
Speaker 1: offense on the past to Scott and I think this
Speaker 1: when people think of Jimmy Butler, use zoom in over
Speaker 1: the next you know, within six weeks from now. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's the type of Jimmy Butler you want to see. Well,
Speaker 1: he plays the right way, he takes what's there, He
Speaker 1: makes the right play. Like I said, sometimes you wish
Speaker 1: him to be maybe a little bit more selfish and
Speaker 1: take the basketball into his own hands. But you know,
Speaker 1: we witnessed it, and again he's come up with this
Speaker 1: a number of times, like he did a week ago
Speaker 1: Monday in New Orleans. It's one thing for a player
Speaker 1: of high basketball IQ to know what's necessary and guys
Speaker 1: like himself and JJ and the Sixers have a lot
Speaker 1: of players like that, but then to have the ability
Speaker 1: to go out and do it acute what needs to
Speaker 1: be done. Like in the case against the Pelicans, he
Speaker 1: you know, covers a lot of ground and he blocks
Speaker 1: that shot by each one more which conceivably could have
Speaker 1: won the game for New Orleans tonight. He knows he's
Speaker 1: got that ball and that's his shot, the step back shot,
Speaker 1: and he makes two jumpers and he delivers, and that's
Speaker 1: what he does. I mean that that was very impressive.
Speaker 1: He is. He's really stepped up in a lot of games.
Speaker 1: One fourteen, one oh six seventy six Ers beat the
Speaker 1: Atlanta Magic for the second time this season. Real nice
Speaker 1: to see JJ Redicketting going early well again. I talked
Speaker 1: to Brett Brown prior to the game and it was
Speaker 1: poised to coach and during his pregame availability in terms
Speaker 1: of JJ breaking out of the so called slump. And
Speaker 1: let's face it, he had twenty points in the two
Speaker 1: previous games, and he had nineteen at halftime, and coaches
Speaker 1: point was, you know, he's really just two three, four,
Speaker 1: three's away from getting right back in track and on
Speaker 1: track and in rhythm. And that's exactly what happened early
Speaker 1: and again, you know, obviously one of the top parts
Speaker 1: of defending the Sixers, you know, on the white Bard
Speaker 1: whiteboard in a visiting locker room, is to run JJ
Speaker 1: Reddick off the line. And having said that, he still
Speaker 1: gets free and even when you do close out on him,
Speaker 1: he's able to sidestepia, get away with a dribble and
Speaker 1: create an opening for himself. And again he has that
Speaker 1: way of leaning in and you know, he hunts shots,
Speaker 1: and tonight he was making them. So they did their best.
Speaker 1: And then when they doubled him and they ran two
Speaker 1: guys at him, he got rid of the ball, He
Speaker 1: moves and gets it back. He was terrific. And that's
Speaker 1: the Sixers player that our fans have come to see
Speaker 1: over the last year plus. With Reddick having yet another
Speaker 1: career year with Philadelphia one fourteen one oh six Sixers
Speaker 1: win it and now onto Chicago. Bulls losing at Indie
Speaker 1: tonight one five ninety six are marketing played well, Timo
Speaker 1: Taylor Wild Cabarreut a member of the Bulls. But this
Speaker 1: is one where Tom the Sixers they've been getting by
Speaker 1: without and beating. You'd love to see them sweep this
Speaker 1: back to back obviously. Well yeah, and it's tough. You
Speaker 1: fly out to Chicago and you know, the one thing
Speaker 1: is too As you mentioned, they played in Indianapolis and
Speaker 1: that game was close there for a while. They were
Speaker 1: tied and then the Pacers pulled away, and you got
Speaker 1: to give kudos to the Pacers. I mean tonight you
Speaker 1: were rooting against the Bulls. I'm sorry for the Bulls
Speaker 1: and obviously tomorrow against them. As the Sixers head toward
Speaker 1: that big show down Sunday here with Indiana but losing
Speaker 1: Victor Oladipot, you thought for sure the Pacers would drop off,
Speaker 1: but they haven't, and then something they're they're locked into
Speaker 1: that third spot right now for now, and so yeah,
Speaker 1: tomorrow Chicago, And remember just last week Levine and Marketing
Speaker 1: in and the Bulls had that four overtime thriller against Atlanta,
Speaker 1: and those two young players are really two cornerstones for them,
Speaker 1: and Archers playing a lot. Ryan Archidiacono is getting a
Speaker 1: lot of time for the Bulls as well. They've made
Speaker 1: a lot of changes during the course of this year.
Speaker 1: They now have Otto Porter and again the Sixers have
Speaker 1: not seen them since early in the season. But you
Speaker 1: go out there, they've only won, if I'm not mistaken,
Speaker 1: seven home games. It's a game you should win. And
Speaker 1: yet you're gonna need without Joel. He's not making the trip.
Speaker 1: Coach has already made that known. He's not flying with
Speaker 1: the team tonight. It's conceivable possible that he might join
Speaker 1: the team against Houston. So you got to patch it
Speaker 1: together at the five spot, and then you need in
Speaker 1: This seems like we've said this now for the better
Speaker 1: part of two weeks. But Simmons and Harris and Butler
Speaker 1: and Reddick and you need and Mike Scott, you need
Speaker 1: somebody to step up. And you've had a quartuette of
Speaker 1: players that have been in and around twenty points that
Speaker 1: have helped the Sixers win many of these games in
Speaker 1: the absence of their star Joel. Ben beat Tom talked
Speaker 1: to you in Chicago. You got a good night Briday.
Speaker 1: Seventy Sixers knock off the Magic one fourteen one oh
Speaker 1: six behind a brilliant finish from Jimmy Butler. We're gonna
Speaker 1: hear about that and play some of Tom's highlight calls

Speaker 1: Magic right before the seventy Sixers hit on the road
Speaker 1: for two games, one Tomorrow in Chicago and then on
Speaker 1: Friday against the surging Houston Rockets. Let us get to
Speaker 1: the highlights from this competitive game. The seventy Sixers did
Speaker 1: enjoy a relatively decent start tonight. JJ Reddick was catching
Speaker 1: fire and Ben Simmons, fresh off an Eastern Conference player
Speaker 1: of the weekend ros against Bussevich, takes him off the
Speaker 1: bounce of the beautiful pass download of Simmons. The dribble
Speaker 1: move draws Ooze and Oz from the crowd. He got
Speaker 1: Bussevic lifted out of his stands and then a drop
Speaker 1: off download of Ben who was in the low zone
Speaker 1: beneath the basket, and the Sixers by five. Both teams
Speaker 1: knocking down shots throughout the first twelve minutes of play.
Speaker 1: Was the Sixers up after a quarter thirty nine to
Speaker 1: thirty four. In the second, the bench players emerging and
Speaker 1: making some important contributions. T J McConnell back things up
Speaker 1: with the point, here's TJ able to pull up the
Speaker 1: up the lane and that's good. T J. McConnell with
Speaker 1: his first field goal man the Sixers by five, forty
Speaker 1: four to thirty nine. The Sixers lead would standard seventy
Speaker 1: to sixty four after a high scoring first half. We
Speaker 1: talked about bench players. Obviously, Mere Johnson not a regular
Speaker 1: member of these starting five for the Sixers, but he
Speaker 1: was thrust into starting duty tonight because the Sixers didn't
Speaker 1: have drawn Beade, boban Nyanovitch or Jonah Bolton, Amir Johnson
Speaker 1: having arguably his most effective and impactful game of the season,
Speaker 1: and now Amir deplects it away in a pass intended
Speaker 1: for Vussevich. Sixers on the roam of the lib and
Speaker 1: a mere Johnson with the jam. He made the play
Speaker 1: at both ends of the flour great anticipation. He three
Speaker 1: quarters Busevich, tips it runs the four, gets it back
Speaker 1: at an allayoop jam put the Sixers up eighty one
Speaker 1: to seventy. In the fourth quarter, the Sixers went into
Speaker 1: the frame with the lead of ninety four to eighty two.
Speaker 1: The Magic started tighten things up. Ben Simmons looking for
Speaker 1: opportunities to dent the scoreboard. Ben Simmons going left the right,
Speaker 1: A WOUNDO is back. Here's Ben left hand drive good.
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons on an outstanding drive, taking it right at
Speaker 1: a wound hope. Ben Simmons, though, down the stretch, found
Speaker 1: things a little bit more difficult. The Magic really closed
Speaker 1: in on him defensively, especially Aaron Gordon. So another All Star.
Speaker 1: It was his turn to step up. Another step back
Speaker 1: shop by Butler for the wing. It's up and gun again,
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler. That's why they called Jimmy Fuck heads Sixers
Speaker 1: one oh five Orlando one oh two, and the possession
Speaker 1: before that, Jimmy knocked down a jumper to make it
Speaker 1: a four point lead. So right there he gets the
Speaker 1: margin back up to three. He was involved in stripping
Speaker 1: the ball from Nick Vussovich defending the all star Vussovic
Speaker 1: on the block. The Sixers got to stop and then
Speaker 1: that set up this Butler tell left side Scott, he
Speaker 1: fires threes in your old Mike. Scott puts it in
Speaker 1: at the Sixers lead by six. Sixers would go on
Speaker 1: to win. It's by eight one to fourteen one oh six.
Speaker 1: That's scot three pointer making it one o eight, one
Speaker 1: oh two. But Jimmy Butler during that stretch of the
Speaker 1: game was fantastic and one of the primary, if not
Speaker 1: the primary reason why the Sixers will head onto the
Speaker 1: Windy City winners tonight. Final stats from the Final Stats
Speaker 1: sheet six or shot forty seven percent from the field,
Speaker 1: eleven of twenty eight on threes, Orlando forty five percent,
Speaker 1: thirteen of thirty two from outside the arc. Sixers outscored
Speaker 1: the Magic by ten from the free throw line. They
Speaker 1: outrebounded Orlando by six. Twenty assists with the seventy Sixers
Speaker 1: just eleven turnovers. Twelve turnovers committed by the Magic Sixers
Speaker 1: were led by JJ Reddick with twenty six points, had
Speaker 1: nineteen in the first half, six of nine for JJ
Speaker 1: from outside the arc, twenty one points, twelve rebounds, five assists,
Speaker 1: two steals in a block from Tobias Harris. He finished
Speaker 1: plus fifteen in the plus minus ratings. Ben Simmons sixteen points,
Speaker 1: thirteen rebounds, eight assists. He almost became the third player
Speaker 1: in franchise history to have triple doubles in three consecutive games,
Speaker 1: but perhaps that will happen at a later dayton Ben's career.
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler the man in the fourth quarter fourteen points overall,
Speaker 1: two rebounds, four assists, three steals, two of which came
Speaker 1: in the final three minutes. Mike Scott with eleven three
Speaker 1: of eight from outside the arc for him to go
Speaker 1: with five rebounds six apiece for John Simmons and t
Speaker 1: J McConnell. And Justin Patton the rookie in his second
Speaker 1: NBA game ever with four rebounds and three assists. Good
Speaker 1: stuff from Justin Patton. Seventy sixers with the win now
Speaker 1: forty one and twenty three. Orlando is thirty and thirty six.
Speaker 1: The seventy Sixers will play Chicago tomorrow. Chicago losing on
Speaker 1: the road at Indie tonight. India is a spot ahead
Speaker 1: of the seventy Sixers for third in the standings. Chicago
Speaker 1: lost that game by the score of one oh five
Speaker 1: to ninety six. The Sixers match up with the Bulls
Speaker 1: for just the second time this season, first time time
Speaker 1: since game number two of the year, and my, how
Speaker 1: a lot has changed in that period of time. Eight
Speaker 1: o'clock Eastern tip from United Center tomorrow on the air,
Speaker 1: with pregame coverage from there at seven fifty. Big thanks
Speaker 1: to everyone involved tonight's broadcast. That would be Brian McLaughlin,
