WEBVTT - The BroadCast: 2/28/2019 ~ Rewind vs. Thunder

0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:04.000
<v Speaker 1>This is seventy Sixers rewind time now to listen back

0:00:04.040 --> 0:00:09.000
<v Speaker 1>to postgame reaction from the team's most recent game. We

0:00:09.160 --> 0:00:12.879
<v Speaker 1>can close the books on history tonight as the seventy

0:00:12.880 --> 0:00:16.320
<v Speaker 1>Sixers do something they have never done before, which has

0:00:16.360 --> 0:00:20.640
<v Speaker 1>beat the Oklahoma City Thunder in OKC. What a game

0:00:21.079 --> 0:00:24.599
<v Speaker 1>two teams missing a pair of MVP candidates, the seventy

0:00:24.640 --> 0:00:28.720
<v Speaker 1>Sixers without Joel Embiid the Oklahoma City Thunder without Paul George,

0:00:28.720 --> 0:00:31.600
<v Speaker 1>and the seventy Sixers got off to a great start.

0:00:31.680 --> 0:00:34.920
<v Speaker 1>They had some really timely runs throughout the game, and

0:00:35.080 --> 0:00:37.080
<v Speaker 1>they hang on one o eight, one oh four for

0:00:37.200 --> 0:00:40.199
<v Speaker 1>a big win against the current three set out of

0:00:40.200 --> 0:00:43.400
<v Speaker 1>the Western Conference, the Oklahoma City Thunder. Brian Selzer bidding

0:00:43.400 --> 0:00:45.959
<v Speaker 1>you good evening. This is gonna be a fun one

0:00:46.120 --> 0:00:49.199
<v Speaker 1>to dissects. Certainly, it was not a game for the

0:00:49.240 --> 0:00:52.680
<v Speaker 1>faint of hearts to bias Harris stepping up with the

0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:56.440
<v Speaker 1>game tied at ninety three, helping the seventy Sixers churn

0:00:56.480 --> 0:01:01.760
<v Speaker 1>out at key ten nothing run to vault them into control. Yeah,

0:01:01.760 --> 0:01:05.360
<v Speaker 1>it was not easy whatsoever in the two minutes that

0:01:05.480 --> 0:01:08.240
<v Speaker 1>followed after that, but the seventy six Ers, they were

0:01:08.280 --> 0:01:10.720
<v Speaker 1>finally able to get the execution they wanted in the

0:01:10.760 --> 0:01:13.600
<v Speaker 1>closing seconds after Russell Westbrook had a pair of free

0:01:13.600 --> 0:01:17.200
<v Speaker 1>throws with just under a half minute ago JJ Reddick,

0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:18.800
<v Speaker 1>they were able to get the ball to him at

0:01:18.880 --> 0:01:20.880
<v Speaker 1>JJ with the free throws to ice the game, and

0:01:20.920 --> 0:01:25.000
<v Speaker 1>all of that following a monstrous offensive rebound from Ben Simmons,

0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:28.399
<v Speaker 1>who picked up another triple double, his ninth on the year,

0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:32.520
<v Speaker 1>with eleven points, thirteen rebounds, and eleven assists. Tobias Harris

0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:36.160
<v Speaker 1>though thirty two points, he had sixty one total points

0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:39.040
<v Speaker 1>on the two game road trip between the win another

0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:42.320
<v Speaker 1>nail biter on Monday at New Orleans and tonight's game

0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:45.920
<v Speaker 1>in Oklahoma City, Jimmy Butler rose to the occasion at

0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:49.400
<v Speaker 1>various points, twenty points, eight rebounds. He tied a season

0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:53.200
<v Speaker 1>high with eight assists, two steals, some quality defensive plays

0:01:53.680 --> 0:01:57.640
<v Speaker 1>JJ Reddick with a monstrous three pointer down the stretch.

0:01:57.720 --> 0:01:59.960
<v Speaker 1>He finished with twelve points. Despite somewhat of a show

0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:02.520
<v Speaker 1>He's shooting night at three of thirteen overall, two of

0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:06.400
<v Speaker 1>nine from three point territory. Mike Scott with some key

0:02:06.440 --> 0:02:09.720
<v Speaker 1>baskets he had nine points. All around. Great effort by

0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:13.720
<v Speaker 1>the seventy sixers shorthanded tonight asked for the thunder Russell Westbrook.

0:02:14.080 --> 0:02:17.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah he got thirteen points. Yeah, he had eleven rebounds

0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:20.560
<v Speaker 1>and eleven dimes for another triple double, eight of twenty four.

0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:23.519
<v Speaker 1>I mean, all things considered, seventy sixers are going to

0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:25.600
<v Speaker 1>live with that. He really was not able to do

0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:28.240
<v Speaker 1>anything in terms of with his jump shot. He was

0:02:28.520 --> 0:02:32.359
<v Speaker 1>one of nine from three point territory. All of his baskets,

0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:34.840
<v Speaker 1>off the top of your head when you're replaying the

0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:37.720
<v Speaker 1>game in your mind, came in transition sequences. That was

0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:40.840
<v Speaker 1>something the seventy sixers did have trouble containing, but in

0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:43.560
<v Speaker 1>the end four points better than the Thunder one O eight,

0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:46.400
<v Speaker 1>one o four In the win. Steven Adams got going

0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:48.800
<v Speaker 1>in the second half, particularly in the third quarter. That

0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:51.520
<v Speaker 1>opened things up and let Okase get back into the game.

0:02:51.880 --> 0:02:54.680
<v Speaker 1>Former seventy six er Jeremy Grant played great. He had

0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:57.440
<v Speaker 1>twenty three points on ten of seventeen, shooting two to

0:02:57.560 --> 0:03:01.120
<v Speaker 1>three pointers. Dennis Shrewder with fourteen points, started the game

0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:04.480
<v Speaker 1>off the bench. Started the second half the seventy sixers.

0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:07.040
<v Speaker 1>They fend off the Thunder one O eight, one oh four,

0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:10.760
<v Speaker 1>first win over the OKC franchise, going all the way

0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:14.440
<v Speaker 1>back to two thousand and eight, which was Oklahoma City's

0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:17.800
<v Speaker 1>first season of existence. All right, let us go to

0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:22.880
<v Speaker 1>Chesapeake Energy Arena. Tom McGuinness standing by Tom, How you

0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:26.080
<v Speaker 1>doing after this one? Well, I'm doing good, Brian. And

0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:29.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, one thing that strikes my mind is that

0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:32.320
<v Speaker 1>if you're going to get to the success like the

0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:36.320
<v Speaker 1>Sixers appear to be headed toward another fifty plus win season,

0:03:36.360 --> 0:03:39.680
<v Speaker 1>there's a few things that have to go into that formula.

0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:41.920
<v Speaker 1>And one is, as we've talked about before, where you

0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:43.440
<v Speaker 1>have to be kind of five hundred on the road

0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:45.840
<v Speaker 1>and be dominant at home. They're doing that. They're now

0:03:45.840 --> 0:03:48.800
<v Speaker 1>two games over five hundred on the road. They've obviously

0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:52.839
<v Speaker 1>had an impeccable or home record so far this year.

0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:54.640
<v Speaker 1>And then you have to start to knock off some

0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:56.400
<v Speaker 1>of these things, and this is one of them. You know,

0:03:56.560 --> 0:03:58.520
<v Speaker 1>you have to beat teams that you haven't beaten, you

0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:01.960
<v Speaker 1>have to reverse trends. So obviously this is a big one,

0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:04.720
<v Speaker 1>as you say, And the two that stand out there

0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:09.480
<v Speaker 1>are what winning against Toronto in Toronto and beating Boston

0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:11.600
<v Speaker 1>and that we won't play the Sixers will not play

0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:14.240
<v Speaker 1>Toronto again in the regular season. They might play him

0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:16.520
<v Speaker 1>in the playoffs up there. You have one more game

0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:19.719
<v Speaker 1>at home against Boston. But those are two big things,

0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:23.200
<v Speaker 1>and those types of things are you know, that's where

0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:26.040
<v Speaker 1>that's like the pecking order. That's that's the process of

0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:29.880
<v Speaker 1>getting to where you want to go. And tonight, again,

0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:32.839
<v Speaker 1>as you said, it wasn't pretty, but they had again

0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:36.960
<v Speaker 1>multiple performers that stepped up during key phases of the game.

0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:39.320
<v Speaker 1>And that's how you do it, and that's particularly how

0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:41.240
<v Speaker 1>you do it winning the game when you don't have

0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:44.159
<v Speaker 1>your best player out there in Joel Ebeid, where during

0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:46.280
<v Speaker 1>times of the game Jimmy was the man. Ben had

0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:48.400
<v Speaker 1>a good all around game, as you said, numerically with

0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:51.560
<v Speaker 1>a triple double. Tobias Harris a huge game, Mike Scott

0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:54.440
<v Speaker 1>hit clutch threes, JJ hit a big three, made those

0:04:54.480 --> 0:04:57.320
<v Speaker 1>free throws. You got performances. Even though a mirror had

0:04:57.360 --> 0:04:59.720
<v Speaker 1>a lot of fouls, he buys you. Min As Jonah

0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:02.039
<v Speaker 1>had a good start. Tj played well. And that's what

0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:03.880
<v Speaker 1>it takes to be a team. You need everybody to

0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:06.400
<v Speaker 1>step up and contribute one to wait one or four.

0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:09.960
<v Speaker 1>The seventy Sixers defeat the Oklahoma City Thunder, a big win.

0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:13.039
<v Speaker 1>They sweep this road trip time. There's obviously some tough

0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:15.279
<v Speaker 1>games still to come. Let's talk about a guy who

0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:17.760
<v Speaker 1>you touched upon right there, but he is in the

0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:21.520
<v Speaker 1>lineup right now. He's playing healthy, he's playing great. Tobias

0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:24.280
<v Speaker 1>Harris has been a flat out stud, especially these last

0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:26.920
<v Speaker 1>two games. Yeah, what I like about him? And I

0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:29.640
<v Speaker 1>really admired this from Afar when he was on other

0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:33.480
<v Speaker 1>teams like Milwaukee, like Detroit, like Orlando a little bit

0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:35.240
<v Speaker 1>with the Clippers. We didn't really see him that much

0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:39.200
<v Speaker 1>with them. But he's so big, Okay, he's like six eight,

0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:42.320
<v Speaker 1>and he's like a face up shooter in other words.

0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:44.960
<v Speaker 1>You know, he's got moves, don't get me wrong, but

0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:48.080
<v Speaker 1>he's not. And he had he had some dunks because

0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:51.159
<v Speaker 1>he was a hard cutter on some good passes. But

0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:53.720
<v Speaker 1>the strength of his game is really a face up

0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:56.320
<v Speaker 1>jump shot. And one of the Sixers needed over this

0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:59.320
<v Speaker 1>year's and that's guys that can make shots, and that's

0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:02.640
<v Speaker 1>his a Bill and you know he has his strength

0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:05.440
<v Speaker 1>of just being able to dribble, pull up and knock

0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:08.120
<v Speaker 1>it out right in front of you and that's that's

0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:10.479
<v Speaker 1>really impressive, and that's what you need in the playoffs.

0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:12.920
<v Speaker 1>You need even Mike Scott. I mean, their games don't

0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:16.920
<v Speaker 1>hunjure up the same offensive image, but the ability to

0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:19.839
<v Speaker 1>get a basket with the game on the line. It's

0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:22.080
<v Speaker 1>not always gonna beat and beat on the block. It's

0:06:22.120 --> 0:06:24.520
<v Speaker 1>not always gonna beat Jimmy Butler or JJ curling and

0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:27.760
<v Speaker 1>catching and making the three. You need multiple It's gonna

0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:30.320
<v Speaker 1>be some of that, but you need multiple options. And

0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:32.679
<v Speaker 1>that's what I think Harris springs to the table again.

0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:35.440
<v Speaker 1>I believe he's had six twenty point games and his

0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:38.400
<v Speaker 1>eight with the Sixers tonight thirty two, as you mentioned,

0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:41.599
<v Speaker 1>twenty nine in New Orleans and really helping to carry

0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:44.960
<v Speaker 1>the load in these last few games without Joel seventy

0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:47.160
<v Speaker 1>Sixers over the thunder one on eight, one on four,

0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:48.520
<v Speaker 1>and just to fill up in that time. I mean,

0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:50.840
<v Speaker 1>it's it's almost like I'm thinking back to last season

0:06:50.839 --> 0:06:53.040
<v Speaker 1>when the seventy Sixers at JJ Reddick, and perhaps I'm

0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:56.040
<v Speaker 1>guilty of not watching enough NBA basketball outside the Sixers,

0:06:56.080 --> 0:06:58.320
<v Speaker 1>but anything else going on, you got twins or something.

0:06:58.320 --> 0:07:02.159
<v Speaker 1>Seltzer's right, maybe, just maybe, but you get to see

0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:04.080
<v Speaker 1>these guys on a more regular basis, and you just

0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:06.560
<v Speaker 1>come to appreciate more and more of the subtleties of

0:07:06.560 --> 0:07:09.400
<v Speaker 1>their game. And one of the things about Bias watching

0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:12.160
<v Speaker 1>him when he's able to load up on the perimeter,

0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:15.400
<v Speaker 1>the downhill speed he's able to generate going to the basket,

0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:18.800
<v Speaker 1>to me is so impressive, like some of those trailing

0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:20.800
<v Speaker 1>plays where he just cuts in for the dunk like

0:07:20.880 --> 0:07:23.800
<v Speaker 1>he has. Like you said, he plays big, he's got

0:07:23.800 --> 0:07:26.520
<v Speaker 1>some athleticism, but he can really get that downhill power

0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:30.200
<v Speaker 1>going as well. Absolutely the big basketball IQ and you know,

0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:34.080
<v Speaker 1>when somebody's doubled, it's when to make the cut, hard slash.

0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:36.000
<v Speaker 1>But it's all set up by what I was saying,

0:07:36.040 --> 0:07:38.400
<v Speaker 1>with that ability to just rise up and make an

0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:41.200
<v Speaker 1>outside shot. And when that happens, teams close out on you,

0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:43.840
<v Speaker 1>so they're running out on you, getting into your feet,

0:07:43.880 --> 0:07:46.320
<v Speaker 1>trying to force you off the line, and that too,

0:07:46.520 --> 0:07:49.360
<v Speaker 1>is what sets up his ability to get to the basket.

0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:52.320
<v Speaker 1>And all these guys are good all around players, and

0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:54.880
<v Speaker 1>that's what I think is exciting. That's what allows the

0:07:54.960 --> 0:07:59.920
<v Speaker 1>coaches to switch defensively schematically, and that's a huge asset

0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:02.640
<v Speaker 1>in many cases it's hurt the Sixers a little bit

0:08:02.680 --> 0:08:06.280
<v Speaker 1>in other pick and roll scenarios, particularly against Boston. But

0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:08.640
<v Speaker 1>Harris is another one of these guys with the size,

0:08:08.680 --> 0:08:12.520
<v Speaker 1>with the length, like Jimmy, like Ben obviously Joel, Mike

0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:15.440
<v Speaker 1>Scott could be thrown into that mix. And even Ns

0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:17.920
<v Speaker 1>off the bench played well tonight and gave you some minutes.

0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:22.400
<v Speaker 1>It has that ability defensively. So no, Tobias Harris is

0:08:22.440 --> 0:08:25.440
<v Speaker 1>a tremendous asset and we're seeing it right off the

0:08:25.520 --> 0:08:27.320
<v Speaker 1>jump here in his first two or three weeks with

0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:30.360
<v Speaker 1>the team. All right, So now now we can look

0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:34.720
<v Speaker 1>ahead to Saturday, ABC primetime television game that you can

0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:38.439
<v Speaker 1>hear on your local radio, Golden State visiting the Center

0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:40.679
<v Speaker 1>for the only time in the regular season, coming off

0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:44.040
<v Speaker 1>two tough losses in the state of Florida, first to Miami,

0:08:44.440 --> 0:08:48.480
<v Speaker 1>they lose to Orlando tonight. I can't wait. It's gonna

0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:51.240
<v Speaker 1>be great enough. Yeah, you know, so people kind of

0:08:51.240 --> 0:08:53.520
<v Speaker 1>talked about the time when you know, just four seasons

0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:56.520
<v Speaker 1>ago the Sixers had ten wins, and you know, what's

0:08:56.520 --> 0:08:59.040
<v Speaker 1>amiss or all? That must have been so hard, But

0:08:59.160 --> 0:09:02.120
<v Speaker 1>to me, it's weekend games, like what we're talking about

0:09:02.200 --> 0:09:05.440
<v Speaker 1>or this game here tonight, this whole stretch obviously with

0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:09.280
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers, but that anticipation, the marquee matchup, the buzz

0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:12.079
<v Speaker 1>in the arena, the buzz in the city, and it's

0:09:12.120 --> 0:09:14.400
<v Speaker 1>going to be exciting, no doubt about it. The Sixers

0:09:14.440 --> 0:09:17.720
<v Speaker 1>beat them out there at Oracle. It's obviously a team,

0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:21.319
<v Speaker 1>particularly now with Cousins playing at a level. Maybe that's

0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:23.679
<v Speaker 1>got going a little bit since he got back from injury.

0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:27.199
<v Speaker 1>And I mean, these guys, you know, when I also

0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:32.160
<v Speaker 1>think of two is you know, Philadelphia entertains or is entertained,

0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:34.880
<v Speaker 1>has some of the top talent in the world that

0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:37.680
<v Speaker 1>comes to play at stages right and this is the

0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:42.760
<v Speaker 1>basketball arena. And you got again Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry

0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:46.280
<v Speaker 1>Thompson one of the greatest shooters in the world, the

0:09:46.600 --> 0:09:49.559
<v Speaker 1>Marcus Cousins one of the top talents, and everybody for

0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:54.040
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers in a competitive, exciting environment. This is why

0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:56.800
<v Speaker 1>we play. This is the NBA's motto, and welcome to

0:09:56.880 --> 0:10:00.400
<v Speaker 1>the moment. It's all going to come together on Saturday

0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:03.240
<v Speaker 1>night and hopefully an eye on the future in terms

0:10:03.280 --> 0:10:07.560
<v Speaker 1>of playoff games of this notoriety. I'm not saying against

0:10:07.559 --> 0:10:09.640
<v Speaker 1>the Warriors hopefully in the finals. But you know what

0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:12.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying, where these kind of games are coming down

0:10:12.160 --> 0:10:14.600
<v Speaker 1>the pike with a little bit more regularity, and it's

0:10:14.640 --> 0:10:17.840
<v Speaker 1>all good. Alrighty Tom, talk to you on Saturday from

0:10:17.840 --> 0:10:20.880
<v Speaker 1>the center. Seventy Sixers and the Warriors should be a

0:10:20.880 --> 0:10:23.120
<v Speaker 1>great one to have an easy trip. Thank you, Bryank,

0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:26.960
<v Speaker 1>Good night. Seventy six Ers beats the Oklahoma City Thunder

0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:30.200
<v Speaker 1>in Oklahoma City for the first time ever. The last

0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:32.840
<v Speaker 1>time they knocked off this franchise on the road was

0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:35.640
<v Speaker 1>at a place called Key Arena on New Year's Eve

0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:39.600
<v Speaker 1>two thousand and seven, when the Oklahoma City Thunder were

0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:43.560
<v Speaker 1>the Seattle SuperSonics. Great win by the team, these last

0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:45.840
<v Speaker 1>two on the road. Not easy, but getting it done

0:10:46.040 --> 0:10:48.840
<v Speaker 1>shorthanded and a nice way to rebound following a tough

0:10:48.920 --> 0:10:52.360
<v Speaker 1>loss to the Portland Trailblazers five days ago before the

0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:54.959
<v Speaker 1>team set out for this road trip. We're gonna get

0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:58.520
<v Speaker 1>to some highlights and some final thoughts coming up after this.

0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:42.440
<v Speaker 1>or short longest, however you want to describe at road trip.

0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:45.200
<v Speaker 1>The team played only two games, New Orleans on Monday

0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:47.719
<v Speaker 1>and Oklahoma City tonight, but the two idle days in

0:11:47.760 --> 0:11:51.160
<v Speaker 1>between sutlely made it feel longer. But let us get

0:11:51.160 --> 0:11:53.440
<v Speaker 1>to some of the highlights. Sixers without Joel Embid and

0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:57.679
<v Speaker 1>boban Marianovich in this one tonight, So you're thinking, all right,

0:11:57.720 --> 0:12:00.200
<v Speaker 1>having gonna come out against Oklahoma City on the old

0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:03.760
<v Speaker 1>Westbrook Adams. No Paul George though for OKAC had of

0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:07.160
<v Speaker 1>his seventy sixers come out like their hair was totally

0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:10.480
<v Speaker 1>full of fire. Harris in the half court for the

0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:13.160
<v Speaker 1>Sixers six forty to go to JJ quit jack three

0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:15.439
<v Speaker 1>out top and it's good. Five in a row, time

0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:19.760
<v Speaker 1>out thunder twenty one to eleven, seventy Sixers putting an

0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:22.400
<v Speaker 1>early stamp on this one. They were up thirty seven

0:12:22.400 --> 0:12:24.600
<v Speaker 1>to twenty six after a quarter, and early in the

0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:28.120
<v Speaker 1>second Tobias Harris kept momentum on their side, Butler in

0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:31.280
<v Speaker 1>the lane downloaded TJ. Conald to Harris and Harris with

0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:34.760
<v Speaker 1>a slam. They're doing a good job covering the baseline,

0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:37.040
<v Speaker 1>but Harris with a cut from out top, gets it

0:12:37.120 --> 0:12:39.680
<v Speaker 1>gathers it in a two hand jam. One of the

0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:41.880
<v Speaker 1>many good plays to Bias Harris is a part of

0:12:41.960 --> 0:12:45.440
<v Speaker 1>in tonight's game. OKAC started to chip its way back

0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:47.840
<v Speaker 1>into it for the seventy sixers had a strong finish

0:12:47.880 --> 0:12:50.160
<v Speaker 1>to the first hand Jimmy with it back to Mike

0:12:50.200 --> 0:12:53.120
<v Speaker 1>Scott back into the lane. Ben Simmons with a right

0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:56.320
<v Speaker 1>hand thrown out and he bellows out to try to

0:12:56.360 --> 0:12:59.800
<v Speaker 1>put a little punctuation mark on that jam. Simmons was

0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:02.920
<v Speaker 1>out and the seventy Sixers punk to it the second

0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:05.880
<v Speaker 1>quarter with six straight points. They had a sixty to

0:13:05.960 --> 0:13:08.640
<v Speaker 1>forty nine lead at the break. In the third quarter,

0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:12.880
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers would experience some pressure as Oklahoma City went

0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:15.720
<v Speaker 1>on a twelve nothing run to draw within two seventy

0:13:15.720 --> 0:13:18.360
<v Speaker 1>three to seventy one, but not too long after that's

0:13:18.520 --> 0:13:21.160
<v Speaker 1>the man of the game. Tobias Harris was vital for

0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:23.480
<v Speaker 1>the first of two major runs he was part of

0:13:23.520 --> 0:13:26.480
<v Speaker 1>in the second half until the seventy sixers steady themselves

0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:29.199
<v Speaker 1>grant one on one with Ben on the drive bangs

0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:31.360
<v Speaker 1>into him. Ben got a hand on it and Simmons

0:13:31.360 --> 0:13:33.920
<v Speaker 1>steals the ball down the court. He goes to TJ

0:13:34.240 --> 0:13:37.080
<v Speaker 1>butcconnell to a trailing Harris had a flight two hand

0:13:37.200 --> 0:13:41.560
<v Speaker 1>jamp by to Bias Harris. Westbrook lift for three. That's

0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:44.959
<v Speaker 1>still good. Sevens of the ball, Harris for three, and

0:13:45.000 --> 0:13:49.440
<v Speaker 1>that's good. Seventh straight a touchdown by Tobias Harris and

0:13:49.520 --> 0:13:53.200
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers go back up by nine, Tobias Hairs scoring

0:13:53.240 --> 0:13:56.040
<v Speaker 1>the first seven points of a vital nine nothing run

0:13:56.080 --> 0:13:58.680
<v Speaker 1>for the seventy Sixers. After the thunder had closed within two,

0:13:58.760 --> 0:14:01.560
<v Speaker 1>seventy Sixers went in the fourth with an eighty six

0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:05.080
<v Speaker 1>seventy nine league, but Oklahoma City would not go away.

0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:08.320
<v Speaker 1>They would tie it up at ninety three seventy. Sixers

0:14:08.320 --> 0:14:10.880
<v Speaker 1>had another response three and a half to go, four

0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:13.480
<v Speaker 1>to shoot Harris in the lane off bella shot, but

0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:17.839
<v Speaker 1>Tobias Harris with twenty nine for the second straight game

0:14:18.400 --> 0:14:20.760
<v Speaker 1>and made it ninety eight ninety three, and Harris or

0:14:20.760 --> 0:14:23.720
<v Speaker 1>they have won more basket in him. Mike Scott to

0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:28.040
<v Speaker 1>Tobias eight to shoot Harris, I'll top against Adams three

0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:31.920
<v Speaker 1>on the clock rising three point shot gout again. Tobias

0:14:32.040 --> 0:14:36.120
<v Speaker 1>Harris has rained another triple and the Sixers go up

0:14:36.160 --> 0:14:40.160
<v Speaker 1>by eight thirty two for Tobias Harris and the Sixers

0:14:40.240 --> 0:14:42.760
<v Speaker 1>got another stop after that. Ben Simmons dunked at home

0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:44.880
<v Speaker 1>to make it one oh three ninety three with one

0:14:45.120 --> 0:14:49.200
<v Speaker 1>fifty two left in the game, but OKC ripped off

0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:51.480
<v Speaker 1>the next seven points to make it one oh three

0:14:51.520 --> 0:14:55.920
<v Speaker 1>one hundred fifty seconds left. Another one of the newcomers clutch.

0:14:56.320 --> 0:14:58.040
<v Speaker 1>So what will the Sixers op with? They go to

0:14:58.120 --> 0:15:01.240
<v Speaker 1>Mike Scott, He's wide open shoot to three and in

0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:05.240
<v Speaker 1>Mike Scott knocking down the triple and that gives us

0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:08.080
<v Speaker 1>Sixers a six point lead. With that wide open attempt,

0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:11.440
<v Speaker 1>they still were not entirely in the clear after that,

0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:15.000
<v Speaker 1>as Oklahoma City scored four points in a row, the

0:15:15.080 --> 0:15:18.280
<v Speaker 1>last two on Russell Westbrook free throws, but the seventy

0:15:18.280 --> 0:15:21.040
<v Speaker 1>Sixers were able to get the ball to well. First,

0:15:21.080 --> 0:15:24.520
<v Speaker 1>they got a huge offensive rebound from Ben Simmons, and

0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:26.520
<v Speaker 1>then they were able to get the ball to JJ Reddick.

0:15:26.560 --> 0:15:28.880
<v Speaker 1>He was fouled and he got some insurance free throws

0:15:29.240 --> 0:15:32.960
<v Speaker 1>to secure the one o eight, one oh four win

0:15:33.040 --> 0:15:36.920
<v Speaker 1>for the seventy Sixers at Oklahoma City. As the Sixers,

0:15:36.960 --> 0:15:39.720
<v Speaker 1>they continue to find ways to get things done in

0:15:39.760 --> 0:15:42.600
<v Speaker 1>the absence of arguably their best player and one of

0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:44.400
<v Speaker 1>the best players in the league in Joel and b.

0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:46.120
<v Speaker 1>Let's take a look at some of the final stats.

0:15:46.160 --> 0:15:48.440
<v Speaker 1>Sixer shot forty five and a half percent for the game,

0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:51.840
<v Speaker 1>Oklahoma City forty three and a half percent, seventy Sixers

0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:57.000
<v Speaker 1>four more three pointers than OKC twelve to eight. Oklahoma City,

0:15:57.160 --> 0:15:59.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, they outscored the seventy Sixers by eight from

0:15:59.440 --> 0:16:01.240
<v Speaker 1>the free throw line, but in a game this narrow,

0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:04.400
<v Speaker 1>Oklahoma City twenty of twenty eight from the line, and

0:16:04.480 --> 0:16:07.480
<v Speaker 1>given how tight things were, obviously the thunder would have

0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:09.720
<v Speaker 1>loved to have had a few of those back. Sixers

0:16:09.720 --> 0:16:12.240
<v Speaker 1>early on controlled the glass, but then Steven Adams got

0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:15.080
<v Speaker 1>going in the second half. Both teams finished with forty

0:16:15.080 --> 0:16:17.520
<v Speaker 1>four boards in the game. The seventy Sixers had thirty

0:16:17.520 --> 0:16:22.000
<v Speaker 1>three assists on forty two made field goals. That was impressive.

0:16:22.040 --> 0:16:26.080
<v Speaker 1>Sixers turned the ball over fourteen times. Oklahoma City twelve

0:16:26.200 --> 0:16:29.160
<v Speaker 1>individual notes. Tobias Harris a season high as a seventy

0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:31.960
<v Speaker 1>sixer eleven of nineteen from the field, five of seven

0:16:32.000 --> 0:16:34.320
<v Speaker 1>from three point territory, five of five from the line,

0:16:34.680 --> 0:16:38.120
<v Speaker 1>thirty two points to go with five rebounds and three assists,

0:16:38.440 --> 0:16:41.480
<v Speaker 1>twenty points, seven rebounds. Bigger part in twenty points, eight

0:16:41.520 --> 0:16:45.320
<v Speaker 1>rebounds and eight assists plus two steals for Jimmy Butler,

0:16:45.360 --> 0:16:47.680
<v Speaker 1>he was plus seven and he was also the seventy

0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:50.720
<v Speaker 1>sixers bell ringer tonight. But Joona Bolden, we didn't get

0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:52.320
<v Speaker 1>to talk about him, but he got the Sixers off

0:16:52.320 --> 0:16:55.320
<v Speaker 1>to a nice start. Finished with fourteen and three. Filled

0:16:55.360 --> 0:16:57.560
<v Speaker 1>in well in these starting center role for the Sixers.

0:16:57.840 --> 0:17:01.080
<v Speaker 1>JJ Reddick with a dozen. Ben Simons with ninth triple double,

0:17:01.080 --> 0:17:05.880
<v Speaker 1>eleven points, thirteen rebounds, eight assists. T J McConnell off

0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:08.640
<v Speaker 1>the bench with just two points but six assists. Mike

0:17:08.720 --> 0:17:11.719
<v Speaker 1>Scott great in a reserve role with nine points and

0:17:11.960 --> 0:17:15.680
<v Speaker 1>three rebounds. He also had three pointers twenty three points

0:17:15.680 --> 0:17:19.000
<v Speaker 1>for Jeremy Grant and also Russell Westbrook. Westbrook, though eight

0:17:19.040 --> 0:17:21.840
<v Speaker 1>of twenty four from the field one of nine from

0:17:21.920 --> 0:17:25.600
<v Speaker 1>three point territory. He did have eleven rebounds and eleven assists,

0:17:25.840 --> 0:17:28.919
<v Speaker 1>but all this field goals essentially coming in transition, so

0:17:28.960 --> 0:17:32.640
<v Speaker 1>the seventy six ers picked their poison. Obviously, Westbrook excels

0:17:32.680 --> 0:17:34.639
<v Speaker 1>in that part of his game, but in regards to

0:17:34.680 --> 0:17:38.320
<v Speaker 1>everything else, he was not able to find his stroke Tonight.

0:17:39.000 --> 0:17:41.040
<v Speaker 1>Up next for the seventy six ers, after going two

0:17:41.080 --> 0:17:43.440
<v Speaker 1>and oh on this road trip, they have an eight

0:17:43.560 --> 0:17:47.040
<v Speaker 1>thirty game on Saturday at the Center versus the Golden

0:17:47.080 --> 0:17:50.560
<v Speaker 1>State Warriors. They of course beat Golden States last month

0:17:50.720 --> 0:17:53.280
<v Speaker 1>a little bit over four weeks ago by the score

0:17:53.280 --> 0:17:56.720
<v Speaker 1>of one thirteen to one oh four on January thirty

0:17:56.720 --> 0:17:59.560
<v Speaker 1>first at Oracle Arena. That would be something for the

0:17:59.600 --> 0:18:03.840
<v Speaker 1>seventies sixers to possibly sweep the season series against the

0:18:03.880 --> 0:18:06.000
<v Speaker 1>Golden State team that's dropped two in a row in

0:18:06.640 --> 0:18:09.280
<v Speaker 1>kind of collapse fashion in both games against the Miami

0:18:09.280 --> 0:18:12.320
<v Speaker 1>Heat the other night and the Orlando Magic tonight. But yes,

0:18:12.440 --> 0:18:14.280
<v Speaker 1>all eyes will be glued, you would think in the

0:18:14.359 --> 0:18:19.320
<v Speaker 1>NBA on South Philadelphia on Saturday, all eyes glued on

0:18:19.480 --> 0:18:22.520
