Speaker 1: You're listening to rewind, they'll listen back on press conferences,
Speaker 1: highlights and analysis from the seventy six ers previous game.
Speaker 1: What started with promise ended in defeat. The seventy Sixers
Speaker 1: fall again at Capitol One Arena one nineteen to one thirteen,
Speaker 1: their tenth straight loss in the building dating back to
Speaker 1: the twenty thirteen fourteen season. How are you? I'm Brian Selzer.
Speaker 1: Seventy six Ers lose their four game winning streaks, second
Speaker 1: longest of the season, coming to an end just their
Speaker 1: second loss in their last ten games. Tobias Harris went
Speaker 1: for a season high thirty three points. Joel Embiid pulled
Speaker 1: down a season best twenty one rebounds to go with
Speaker 1: twenty six points for the fifth twenty twenty game of
Speaker 1: his career. Ben Simons seventeen points, ten rebounds and a
Speaker 1: bigger parton seventeen points, ten assistant five rebounds. Who will
Speaker 1: Nato off the bench for eleven points? Those are good numbers,
Speaker 1: but really the only matter that numbers pertained two in
Speaker 1: the end of consequence. In addition to the final score,
Speaker 1: the seventy Sixers turned the ball over in the game
Speaker 1: twenty one times, and that led to thirty points for
Speaker 1: the Washington Wizards off of turnovers costly in defeat for
Speaker 1: the seventy sixers. Was that statistic as the Sixers now
Speaker 1: sit at fifteen and seven. Washington improved to seven and thirteen,
Speaker 1: just their second win in their last seven games. The
Speaker 1: second quarter was the difference. The seventy Sixers jumped out
Speaker 1: to an eleven point lead in tonight's first quarter, but
Speaker 1: in the second quarter, Davis Burtons, if you follow the
Speaker 1: seventy Sixers closely, you know he's been a thorn in
Speaker 1: the side in the past, particularly in his previous stop
Speaker 1: with the San Antonio Spurs, a really tough cover for
Speaker 1: the seventy Sixers tonight. They threw the likes of Ben Simmons, Matise, Thibel,
Speaker 1: James Ennis, the Third Mike Scott at times at Davis
Speaker 1: Burton's who was a stretch four slash five man, and
Speaker 1: he was phenomenal. The seventy Sixers couldn't slow him down
Speaker 1: in the first half, which he went seven for seven
Speaker 1: from the field, five for five from three point territory.
Speaker 1: That was a huge part of Washington's forty point outbursts
Speaker 1: in the second quarter, and that eighteen point scoring differential
Speaker 1: in the second period that was essentially enough to get
Speaker 1: the Wizards by for the rest of the night. In
Speaker 1: their one nineteen one thirteen victory over the seventy six Ers.
Speaker 1: Tom mcguinnis had the call of this one tonight at
Speaker 1: Capitol One Arena. Tom, do you attribute this to Washington's
Speaker 1: second quarter the turnovers commended by the seventy sixers or
Speaker 1: are the two intertwined? Well, I would say, see all
Speaker 1: of the above. You hit it right with that differential.
Speaker 1: And again sometimes games are one like that in a
Speaker 1: phase of the first half, or who knows, sometimes it
Speaker 1: comes down to the last two minutes. But certainly the
Speaker 1: turnovers costs the Sixers because again I mean that's eighteen
Speaker 1: point difference. They had an eighteen point difference in the
Speaker 1: second and an eighteen point margin in terms of points
Speaker 1: off turnovers. And not only the turnovers that were they're scoring.
Speaker 1: But that takes for example, down the stretch, the Sixers
Speaker 1: had an opportunity to score and yet turn it over
Speaker 1: in traffic, and there goes when you're trying to close
Speaker 1: the gap from seven to five to three, and you know,
Speaker 1: get make it a one possession game. But you don't
Speaker 1: score because you turn it over. That's costly. So yeah,
Speaker 1: they're definitely intertwined and that was really detrimental to the
Speaker 1: Sixers in this game for sure. Seventy Sixers lose by
Speaker 1: six at Washington by the final count of one nineteen
Speaker 1: one thirteen. Don't want to harp on it too much time,
Speaker 1: but it's something that Prett Brown mentioned as well. You know,
Speaker 1: the fifteen turnovers combined between Ben Simmons with seven and
Speaker 1: Joel Embiid with eight, that's tough for the Sixers. And yes,
Speaker 1: these are young stars. The seventy Sixers continue to grow,
Speaker 1: but there are also two guys who want to take
Speaker 1: ownership and responsibility. I'm curious to hear what they'll have
Speaker 1: to say about it, but that's a tough number for
Speaker 1: those two now, absolutely, and it's got to get better.
Speaker 1: I mean, Brett Brown, the coach, just stipulated right there
Speaker 1: that you're not going to win anything of consequins without
Speaker 1: getting that thing resolved. Because these games, especially like you
Speaker 1: know obviously in the playoffs, where you know, it's just
Speaker 1: every possession is just huge and the smallest little air
Speaker 1: can be the difference between winning and losing. That that's
Speaker 1: just not you know, just putting yourself in too many
Speaker 1: tough predicaments to be able to come and over overcome
Speaker 1: that that issue. So there's no doubt about it. That's
Speaker 1: got to get better. And uh, you know it's tough
Speaker 1: because those are you know, they use that the phrase
Speaker 1: in basketball high usage players. Well, obviously you know both
Speaker 1: all stars and two really dynamic players for the Sixers
Speaker 1: and in the NBA, they're gonna be handling the ball
Speaker 1: a lot, and that's where you know, some of those turnovers,
Speaker 1: that's where that's come from. Seventy six Ers fall in
Speaker 1: Washington one, nineteen one thirteen, Maybe time to go back
Speaker 1: to the beginning of the game for anyone who might
Speaker 1: have tuned inner listened after Washington swung it in their favor.
Speaker 1: I mean, the Sixers really were excellent in that first quarter.
Speaker 1: They were six of nine from three, They shot over
Speaker 1: fifty seven percent against a team that was really ravaged
Speaker 1: by injury in the front court. Did you see maybe
Speaker 1: the Sixers getting comfortable with jump shots early on in
Speaker 1: the game, not sticking as much to the interior attack.
Speaker 1: Where did you see that perhaps catch up to the
Speaker 1: Sixers in this one? Well, and I'm not totally certain,
Speaker 1: but sometimes human nature, you know, creeps in where you're like,
Speaker 1: all right, we got this. You know, you look at
Speaker 1: the records, you figure out, you know where this thing's going.
Speaker 1: And that's just not how it works. Not when a
Speaker 1: guy like Burtons came in and Coach Brown's point after
Speaker 1: the game was that they gave him too much airspace
Speaker 1: and didn't have the sense of urgency to stay with him.
Speaker 1: And then and then they did, like and he still
Speaker 1: was in like James Ennis was draped all over him,
Speaker 1: followed him everywhere he went, was really in lock and
Speaker 1: trail off with screens and Burton's was just incredible and
Speaker 1: hitting from range on the turn and again, as I said,
Speaker 1: just real quick in terms of the catch and the shot,
Speaker 1: making six threes in as many tries, eight for eight
Speaker 1: all told in the second or in the first half.
Speaker 1: And that became the difference in the game. So that
Speaker 1: was tough. I mean, there's no doubt about it. And
Speaker 1: that's when it shifted. Now Washington starts to get to
Speaker 1: the confidence going and then oh, by the way, Beale
Speaker 1: and hot chyamor was solid throughout is Smith. Same thing
Speaker 1: and again with those turnovers. It just they got the
Speaker 1: crowd into the game and then just ended up for
Speaker 1: a recipe that that hurt the Sixers in the end. Alrighty, Tom,
Speaker 1: We'll talk to you again for a back to back
Speaker 1: this weekend against the Cleveland Cavaliers and then rematch with
Speaker 1: the Toronto Raptors on Saturday and Sunday, respectively. Okay, night,
Speaker 1: Thank you. Seventy Sixers fall at Capital one Arena in Washington,
Speaker 1: d C. One nineteen one thirteen. The visit for the
Speaker 1: Sixers at Capital one Arena in Washington, d C. Here's
Speaker 1: how it sounded, courtesy of the only man in the
Speaker 1: game with as much enthusiasm every end of the year
Speaker 1: as Tom Aginnis Harett went. Seventy Sixers got off to
Speaker 1: a great start tonight. Al Horford was part of it.
Speaker 1: Simmons on a drive, put off at the filline, back
Speaker 1: out the Horford for three up and good time out Wizards.
Speaker 1: Al Orford knocking it out. He's been really productive, particularly
Speaker 1: in the opening quarter from three of late. Seventy Sixers
Speaker 1: hit six three pointers in tonight's first quarter. A couple
Speaker 1: more came from hul Nato Netto has the ball thirty
Speaker 1: seconds ago. How will out tomatise dival back to Netto
Speaker 1: in the corner? How will for a second trade? It's
Speaker 1: good a hierarchy paceline three and the Sixers with back
Speaker 1: to back tripos by Netto now lead by eleven. Sixers
Speaker 1: lead was thirty three twenty five after twelve minutes of
Speaker 1: play in the second quarter of the Sixers still doing
Speaker 1: some things well to maintain control. Here's a drive by
Speaker 1: to bias let us flam poi post riz binder top
Speaker 1: by us arras with sixteen and the Sixers by four.
Speaker 1: And now the ball ish hadn't rolled away by the
Speaker 1: late kick bias. Do they still call it raised? That
Speaker 1: you made the rais of the roof signal? That was
Speaker 1: a post rise play? Is he dumped? At that point,
Speaker 1: the seventy Sixers edge was fifty one to forty seven.
Speaker 1: But from there the Wizards turned things around with a
Speaker 1: twelve to two run during which the seventy six Ers
Speaker 1: saw turnovers pile up and Washington take advantage. And also
Speaker 1: the Wizards just lights out shooting the ball in the
Speaker 1: second quarter. They shout over sixty six percent from the
Speaker 1: field in the second and they hit six three pointers
Speaker 1: It was Washington that led at the half sixty five
Speaker 1: fifty five after outs going the seventy Sixers by eighteen
Speaker 1: in period number two in the third quarter of the
Speaker 1: seventy Sixers trying to make that comeback climb behind Ben
Speaker 1: Simmons Harris on the back down, they double up jump
Speaker 1: pass Hito Ben jam Night. Job well done by Tobias
Speaker 1: double the low left block. Simmons gets into the lane,
Speaker 1: makes himself available, easy pass over the defenders. Simmons with
Speaker 1: the stuff he's got dead point seven assist and have
Speaker 1: cut the Sixers deficit to ten eighty two seventy two.
Speaker 1: The Sixers would still trail by ten going to the
Speaker 1: fourth ninety one to eighty one. The Sixers late, they
Speaker 1: had their opportunities well. Embiid was able to get some
Speaker 1: stuff done. Joel with a fake to three drives at
Speaker 1: Prown cuts over what a play by ebad Us seven
Speaker 1: quarter would move, Oh baby, Joel a bead sidesteps a defender,
Speaker 1: sidestep to another one pat put today, that's a nine
Speaker 1: point game, six fifty to go. That one o two
Speaker 1: ninety three was the score that was part of a
Speaker 1: ten nothing seventy Sixers run. That closed the gap to
Speaker 1: one O two ninety seven with about five minutes ago.
Speaker 1: So at that point it was game on Sixers get
Speaker 1: ill afford any empty possessions. Here's Arris for three. He
Speaker 1: got a triple to buyas with his third trade he's
Speaker 1: got thirty one five point game one O eight one
Speaker 1: h three. But the seventy Sixers did have some empty
Speaker 1: possessions after that. They were complicated in part by turnovers,
Speaker 1: as the Wizards would ride that big second quarter to
Speaker 1: an eventional one nineteen one thirteen victory. Seventy Sixers shot
Speaker 1: over fifty three percent from the field, Washington just forty
Speaker 1: five and a half percent. But get this, the Wizards
Speaker 1: behind a strong offensive rebounding game, they took thirteen more
Speaker 1: shots and the seventy sixers. They also got to the
Speaker 1: foul line much more frequently than the Sixers did. Tonight,
Speaker 1: the Sixers finished with thirteen threes, Washington with eleven. Seventy
Speaker 1: six Ers eighteen to twenty four from the line, the
Speaker 1: Wizards were twenty six of thirty two, and again, as
Speaker 1: I mentioned, the Wizards an advantage in the offensive glass.
Speaker 1: They were plus five and the turnover differential was essentially
Speaker 1: decisive in this one. The Sixers committed twenty one turnovers
Speaker 1: and that led to the Wizards out scoring them thirty
Speaker 1: to ten in terms of points off turnovers. The Sixers
Speaker 1: were also outscored twenty one to nine on second chance points,
Speaker 1: and again this was on a night when Washington was
Speaker 1: so thin up front. They started Moe Wagner, who was
Speaker 1: the tallest player in the starting lineup at six ten,
Speaker 1: But the seventy sixers they were outdone on the inside.
Speaker 1: So the Sixers now they're going to try and regroup
Speaker 1: after losing this one. Tonight, Tobias Harris scored thirty three
Speaker 1: points that was the season high, three three pointers, Joel
Speaker 1: and B twenty six points, twenty one rebounds for his
Speaker 1: fifth career twenty twenty game and bid though also with
Speaker 1: eight turnovers. Ben Simmons seventeen points, ten assists and five boards,
Speaker 1: but he had seven of the seventy six or twenty
Speaker 1: one turnovers. That's something the Sixers will look too correct.
Speaker 1: Who will Nato with eleven points off the bench, He
Speaker 1: was three for four from outside the arc. Bradley Beale
Speaker 1: finished with twenty six points and ten rebounds. Is Smith
Speaker 1: with nineteen and Rowe Achimura with twenty seven points and
Speaker 1: seven boards for the Wizards and Davis Burton's huge off
Speaker 1: the bench twenty five for Washington, seven of thirteen outside
Speaker 1: the arc. He did not miss from three in the
Speaker 1: first half. Coming up next. If you're listening on the
Speaker 1: flagship of the seventy six ers, ninety seventy five to
Speaker 1: the fanatic, it's in the post with the von Givens,
Speaker 1: give him a call to at six one zero sixty
Speaker 1: three two zero nine is seven to five. Seventy Sixers
Speaker 1: will have the Cleveland Cavaliers at seven thirty on Saturday
Speaker 1: before hosting the Toronto Raptors at six o'clock on Sunday.
Speaker 1: Final time. The final score it was the Wizards one
Speaker 1: nineteen in the seventy six Ers one thirteen. You've been
Speaker 1: listening to rewind, look out for fresh episodes the day
Speaker 1: after every seventy Sixers game this season.
