WEBVTT - Rewind vs. Washington Wizards - 12/5/19 0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:03.320 You're listening to rewind, they'll listen back on press conferences, 0:00:03.440 --> 0:00:06.920 highlights and analysis from the seventy six ers previous game. 0:00:09.160 --> 0:00:12.920 What started with promise ended in defeat. The seventy Sixers 0:00:12.960 --> 0:00:17.280 fall again at Capitol One Arena one nineteen to one thirteen, 0:00:17.400 --> 0:00:21.119 their tenth straight loss in the building dating back to 0:00:21.239 --> 0:00:25.919 the twenty thirteen fourteen season. How are you? I'm Brian Selzer. 0:00:25.960 --> 0:00:28.840 Seventy six Ers lose their four game winning streaks, second 0:00:28.880 --> 0:00:31.480 longest of the season, coming to an end just their 0:00:31.560 --> 0:00:35.560 second loss in their last ten games. Tobias Harris went 0:00:35.560 --> 0:00:38.320 for a season high thirty three points. Joel Embiid pulled 0:00:38.320 --> 0:00:40.559 down a season best twenty one rebounds to go with 0:00:40.600 --> 0:00:43.600 twenty six points for the fifth twenty twenty game of 0:00:43.640 --> 0:00:47.519 his career. Ben Simons seventeen points, ten rebounds and a 0:00:47.560 --> 0:00:51.479 bigger parton seventeen points, ten assistant five rebounds. Who will 0:00:51.520 --> 0:00:54.640 Nato off the bench for eleven points? Those are good numbers, 0:00:54.640 --> 0:00:58.400 but really the only matter that numbers pertained two in 0:00:58.440 --> 0:01:00.760 the end of consequence. In addition to the final score, 0:01:01.200 --> 0:01:03.760 the seventy Sixers turned the ball over in the game 0:01:04.240 --> 0:01:07.600 twenty one times, and that led to thirty points for 0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:11.440 the Washington Wizards off of turnovers costly in defeat for 0:01:11.480 --> 0:01:15.120 the seventy sixers. Was that statistic as the Sixers now 0:01:15.160 --> 0:01:19.400 sit at fifteen and seven. Washington improved to seven and thirteen, 0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:23.240 just their second win in their last seven games. The 0:01:23.360 --> 0:01:26.400 second quarter was the difference. The seventy Sixers jumped out 0:01:26.440 --> 0:01:30.240 to an eleven point lead in tonight's first quarter, but 0:01:30.360 --> 0:01:33.280 in the second quarter, Davis Burtons, if you follow the 0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:36.160 seventy Sixers closely, you know he's been a thorn in 0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:39.199 the side in the past, particularly in his previous stop 0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:42.039 with the San Antonio Spurs, a really tough cover for 0:01:42.040 --> 0:01:47.680 the seventy Sixers tonight. They threw the likes of Ben Simmons, Matise, Thibel, 0:01:47.960 --> 0:01:52.000 James Ennis, the Third Mike Scott at times at Davis 0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:55.600 Burton's who was a stretch four slash five man, and 0:01:55.800 --> 0:01:58.760 he was phenomenal. The seventy Sixers couldn't slow him down 0:01:58.760 --> 0:02:01.400 in the first half, which he went seven for seven 0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:04.840 from the field, five for five from three point territory. 0:02:04.920 --> 0:02:08.280 That was a huge part of Washington's forty point outbursts 0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:11.520 in the second quarter, and that eighteen point scoring differential 0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:14.040 in the second period that was essentially enough to get 0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:16.320 the Wizards by for the rest of the night. In 0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:20.400 their one nineteen one thirteen victory over the seventy six Ers. 0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:23.240 Tom mcguinnis had the call of this one tonight at 0:02:23.320 --> 0:02:27.480 Capitol One Arena. Tom, do you attribute this to Washington's 0:02:27.480 --> 0:02:30.959 second quarter the turnovers commended by the seventy sixers or 0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:34.680 are the two intertwined? Well, I would say, see all 0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:38.239 of the above. You hit it right with that differential. 0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:42.000 And again sometimes games are one like that in a 0:02:42.040 --> 0:02:44.600 phase of the first half, or who knows, sometimes it 0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:47.720 comes down to the last two minutes. But certainly the 0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:52.560 turnovers costs the Sixers because again I mean that's eighteen 0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:55.280 point difference. They had an eighteen point difference in the 0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:58.280 second and an eighteen point margin in terms of points 0:02:58.280 --> 0:03:02.480 off turnovers. And not only the turnovers that were they're scoring. 0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:06.040 But that takes for example, down the stretch, the Sixers 0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:09.119 had an opportunity to score and yet turn it over 0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:11.640 in traffic, and there goes when you're trying to close 0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:14.040 the gap from seven to five to three, and you know, 0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:16.720 get make it a one possession game. But you don't 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:20.040 score because you turn it over. That's costly. So yeah, 0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:24.040 they're definitely intertwined and that was really detrimental to the 0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:27.280 Sixers in this game for sure. Seventy Sixers lose by 0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:31.240 six at Washington by the final count of one nineteen 0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:34.200 one thirteen. Don't want to harp on it too much time, 0:03:34.240 --> 0:03:36.480 but it's something that Prett Brown mentioned as well. You know, 0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:39.760 the fifteen turnovers combined between Ben Simmons with seven and 0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:42.680 Joel Embiid with eight, that's tough for the Sixers. And yes, 0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:45.760 these are young stars. The seventy Sixers continue to grow, 0:03:45.840 --> 0:03:48.320 but there are also two guys who want to take 0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:50.800 ownership and responsibility. I'm curious to hear what they'll have 0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:52.800 to say about it, but that's a tough number for 0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:55.800 those two now, absolutely, and it's got to get better. 0:03:55.840 --> 0:03:58.240 I mean, Brett Brown, the coach, just stipulated right there 0:03:58.280 --> 0:04:01.200 that you're not going to win anything of consequins without 0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:04.960 getting that thing resolved. Because these games, especially like you 0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:08.240 know obviously in the playoffs, where you know, it's just 0:04:08.440 --> 0:04:12.400 every possession is just huge and the smallest little air 0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:15.560 can be the difference between winning and losing. That that's 0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:18.440 just not you know, just putting yourself in too many 0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:21.039 tough predicaments to be able to come and over overcome 0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:23.920 that that issue. So there's no doubt about it. That's 0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:27.280 got to get better. And uh, you know it's tough 0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:29.720 because those are you know, they use that the phrase 0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:33.000 in basketball high usage players. Well, obviously you know both 0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:36.320 all stars and two really dynamic players for the Sixers 0:04:36.320 --> 0:04:38.960 and in the NBA, they're gonna be handling the ball 0:04:38.960 --> 0:04:42.640 a lot, and that's where you know, some of those turnovers, 0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:45.400 that's where that's come from. Seventy six Ers fall in 0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:48.000 Washington one, nineteen one thirteen, Maybe time to go back 0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:49.880 to the beginning of the game for anyone who might 0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:54.679 have tuned inner listened after Washington swung it in their favor. 0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:57.679 I mean, the Sixers really were excellent in that first quarter. 0:04:57.720 --> 0:04:59.920 They were six of nine from three, They shot over 0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:04.039 fifty seven percent against a team that was really ravaged 0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:06.680 by injury in the front court. Did you see maybe 0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:09.440 the Sixers getting comfortable with jump shots early on in 0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:12.200 the game, not sticking as much to the interior attack. 0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:14.880 Where did you see that perhaps catch up to the 0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:18.000 Sixers in this one? Well, and I'm not totally certain, 0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:21.200 but sometimes human nature, you know, creeps in where you're like, 0:05:21.240 --> 0:05:23.480 all right, we got this. You know, you look at 0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:26.640 the records, you figure out, you know where this thing's going. 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:28.640 And that's just not how it works. Not when a 0:05:28.640 --> 0:05:31.960 guy like Burtons came in and Coach Brown's point after 0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:34.479 the game was that they gave him too much airspace 0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:37.800 and didn't have the sense of urgency to stay with him. 0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:40.320 And then and then they did, like and he still 0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:42.760 was in like James Ennis was draped all over him, 0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:46.000 followed him everywhere he went, was really in lock and 0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:50.440 trail off with screens and Burton's was just incredible and 0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:53.920 hitting from range on the turn and again, as I said, 0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:56.839 just real quick in terms of the catch and the shot, 0:05:56.960 --> 0:05:59.960 making six threes in as many tries, eight for eight 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:03.080 all told in the second or in the first half. 0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:08.160 And that became the difference in the game. So that 0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:10.120 was tough. I mean, there's no doubt about it. And 0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:13.120 that's when it shifted. Now Washington starts to get to 0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:16.080 the confidence going and then oh, by the way, Beale 0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:19.479 and hot chyamor was solid throughout is Smith. Same thing 0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:23.839 and again with those turnovers. It just they got the 0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:26.080 crowd into the game and then just ended up for 0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:29.599 a recipe that that hurt the Sixers in the end. Alrighty, Tom, 0:06:29.600 --> 0:06:31.440 We'll talk to you again for a back to back 0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:34.200 this weekend against the Cleveland Cavaliers and then rematch with 0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:38.560 the Toronto Raptors on Saturday and Sunday, respectively. Okay, night, 0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:43.039 Thank you. Seventy Sixers fall at Capital one Arena in Washington, 0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:46.839 d C. One nineteen one thirteen. The visit for the 0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:50.280 Sixers at Capital one Arena in Washington, d C. Here's 0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:53.960 how it sounded, courtesy of the only man in the 0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:56.280 game with as much enthusiasm every end of the year 0:06:56.320 --> 0:06:59.760 as Tom Aginnis Harett went. Seventy Sixers got off to 0:06:59.839 --> 0:07:02.160 a great start tonight. Al Horford was part of it. 0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:05.240 Simmons on a drive, put off at the filline, back 0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:09.160 out the Horford for three up and good time out Wizards. 0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:13.360 Al Orford knocking it out. He's been really productive, particularly 0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:17.120 in the opening quarter from three of late. Seventy Sixers 0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:20.160 hit six three pointers in tonight's first quarter. A couple 0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:23.320 more came from hul Nato Netto has the ball thirty 0:07:23.320 --> 0:07:26.080 seconds ago. How will out tomatise dival back to Netto 0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:28.240 in the corner? How will for a second trade? It's 0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:31.680 good a hierarchy paceline three and the Sixers with back 0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:35.880 to back tripos by Netto now lead by eleven. Sixers 0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:38.760 lead was thirty three twenty five after twelve minutes of 0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:41.120 play in the second quarter of the Sixers still doing 0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:44.760 some things well to maintain control. Here's a drive by 0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:48.600 to bias let us flam poi post riz binder top 0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:52.280 by us arras with sixteen and the Sixers by four. 0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:55.080 And now the ball ish hadn't rolled away by the 0:07:55.160 --> 0:07:57.240 late kick bias. Do they still call it raised? That 0:07:57.280 --> 0:07:59.400 you made the rais of the roof signal? That was 0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:03.080 a post rise play? Is he dumped? At that point, 0:08:03.080 --> 0:08:05.679 the seventy Sixers edge was fifty one to forty seven. 0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:08.480 But from there the Wizards turned things around with a 0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:11.760 twelve to two run during which the seventy six Ers 0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:15.320 saw turnovers pile up and Washington take advantage. And also 0:08:15.360 --> 0:08:17.680 the Wizards just lights out shooting the ball in the 0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:20.200 second quarter. They shout over sixty six percent from the 0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:23.960 field in the second and they hit six three pointers 0:08:23.960 --> 0:08:27.000 It was Washington that led at the half sixty five 0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:29.800 fifty five after outs going the seventy Sixers by eighteen 0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:32.400 in period number two in the third quarter of the 0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:35.240 seventy Sixers trying to make that comeback climb behind Ben 0:08:35.280 --> 0:08:38.000 Simmons Harris on the back down, they double up jump 0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:41.400 pass Hito Ben jam Night. Job well done by Tobias 0:08:41.480 --> 0:08:43.760 double the low left block. Simmons gets into the lane, 0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:47.360 makes himself available, easy pass over the defenders. Simmons with 0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:50.360 the stuff he's got dead point seven assist and have 0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:53.199 cut the Sixers deficit to ten eighty two seventy two. 0:08:53.200 --> 0:08:55.280 The Sixers would still trail by ten going to the 0:08:55.320 --> 0:08:58.719 fourth ninety one to eighty one. The Sixers late, they 0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:01.600 had their opportunities well. Embiid was able to get some 0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:04.640 stuff done. Joel with a fake to three drives at 0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:07.839 Prown cuts over what a play by ebad Us seven 0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:13.280 quarter would move, Oh baby, Joel a bead sidesteps a defender, 0:09:13.400 --> 0:09:16.400 sidestep to another one pat put today, that's a nine 0:09:16.520 --> 0:09:19.840 point game, six fifty to go. That one o two 0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:21.760 ninety three was the score that was part of a 0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:24.920 ten nothing seventy Sixers run. That closed the gap to 0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:27.880 one O two ninety seven with about five minutes ago. 0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:30.840 So at that point it was game on Sixers get 0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:34.080 ill afford any empty possessions. Here's Arris for three. He 0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:37.240 got a triple to buyas with his third trade he's 0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:41.040 got thirty one five point game one O eight one 0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:44.040 h three. But the seventy Sixers did have some empty 0:09:44.040 --> 0:09:48.200 possessions after that. They were complicated in part by turnovers, 0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:51.120 as the Wizards would ride that big second quarter to 0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:56.199 an eventional one nineteen one thirteen victory. Seventy Sixers shot 0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:59.560 over fifty three percent from the field, Washington just forty 0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:02.000 five and a half percent. But get this, the Wizards 0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:05.560 behind a strong offensive rebounding game, they took thirteen more 0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:08.320 shots and the seventy sixers. They also got to the 0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:11.000 foul line much more frequently than the Sixers did. Tonight, 0:10:11.240 --> 0:10:14.920 the Sixers finished with thirteen threes, Washington with eleven. Seventy 0:10:14.920 --> 0:10:16.960 six Ers eighteen to twenty four from the line, the 0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:20.240 Wizards were twenty six of thirty two, and again, as 0:10:20.280 --> 0:10:23.160 I mentioned, the Wizards an advantage in the offensive glass. 0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:26.680 They were plus five and the turnover differential was essentially 0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:29.439 decisive in this one. The Sixers committed twenty one turnovers 0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:32.480 and that led to the Wizards out scoring them thirty 0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:35.800 to ten in terms of points off turnovers. The Sixers 0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:40.440 were also outscored twenty one to nine on second chance points, 0:10:40.440 --> 0:10:42.960 and again this was on a night when Washington was 0:10:43.040 --> 0:10:46.240 so thin up front. They started Moe Wagner, who was 0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:49.280 the tallest player in the starting lineup at six ten, 0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:53.000 But the seventy sixers they were outdone on the inside. 0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:55.160 So the Sixers now they're going to try and regroup 0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:58.520 after losing this one. Tonight, Tobias Harris scored thirty three 0:10:58.520 --> 0:11:01.520 points that was the season high, three three pointers, Joel 0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:03.840 and B twenty six points, twenty one rebounds for his 0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:07.160 fifth career twenty twenty game and bid though also with 0:11:07.200 --> 0:11:11.440 eight turnovers. Ben Simmons seventeen points, ten assists and five boards, 0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:14.040 but he had seven of the seventy six or twenty 0:11:14.040 --> 0:11:16.959 one turnovers.
