WEBVTT - The BroadCast: 2/27/18- Rewind vs. Heat

0:00:01.120 --> 0:00:04.760
<v Speaker 1>This is the Philadelphia has seventy Sixers postgame show. If

0:00:05.480 --> 0:00:08.240
<v Speaker 1>I can look about about Broadstree Stars, is gonna turn

0:00:08.320 --> 0:00:12.080
<v Speaker 1>and get it off Mattie Roll the Sixers postgame show

0:00:12.680 --> 0:00:17.439
<v Speaker 1>right now on ninety seven five. The panetic tough one

0:00:17.520 --> 0:00:20.360
<v Speaker 1>for the seventy Sixers in South Florida tonight, a one

0:00:20.400 --> 0:00:22.439
<v Speaker 1>oho two, one oh one lost the Miami Heat and

0:00:22.520 --> 0:00:25.119
<v Speaker 1>a key Eastern Conference game that now has resulted in

0:00:25.160 --> 0:00:27.440
<v Speaker 1>the Heats pulling within a game of the Sixers for

0:00:27.680 --> 0:00:30.960
<v Speaker 1>seventh place in the Eastern Conference standings. Brian sells you

0:00:31.040 --> 0:00:33.080
<v Speaker 1>with you from Sixers dot com or expecting to hear

0:00:33.159 --> 0:00:36.400
<v Speaker 1>from Sixers head coach Brett Brown following a hard fought

0:00:36.479 --> 0:00:39.920
<v Speaker 1>battle tonight. Everything was what you would expect in a

0:00:40.040 --> 0:00:42.800
<v Speaker 1>game that featured a lot of postseason implications. Let's go

0:00:42.840 --> 0:00:44.599
<v Speaker 1>to the head coach to dissect this one right now.

0:00:45.040 --> 0:00:48.879
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's the twenty three turnovers. You're always looking at. Um.

0:00:49.680 --> 0:00:52.600
<v Speaker 1>You know, I think that there's some things defensively, to

0:00:52.760 --> 0:00:56.000
<v Speaker 1>be even more particular, that we can improve on. But

0:00:56.160 --> 0:00:58.440
<v Speaker 1>I feel like we're playing decent basketball. We lost to

0:00:58.480 --> 0:01:01.080
<v Speaker 1>a good team here on their home. It's a game

0:01:01.160 --> 0:01:04.160
<v Speaker 1>we feel like going down the stretch. We could have

0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:08.120
<v Speaker 1>in many waves, should have won. We didn't, but I

0:01:08.640 --> 0:01:14.679
<v Speaker 1>liked the way we're trending. Thank you, Reef. Comments from

0:01:14.720 --> 0:01:17.840
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers headman Brett Brown after tonight's loss. You heard

0:01:17.920 --> 0:01:19.920
<v Speaker 1>him perhaps saying right at the beginning of his address,

0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:22.600
<v Speaker 1>twenty three turnovers in the game that led to twenty

0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:26.280
<v Speaker 1>six points off turnovers for the Miami Heat, a key

0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:29.080
<v Speaker 1>separator in tonight's one point outcome one O two, one

0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:32.360
<v Speaker 1>on one the Heat over the Sixers. Sixers big man

0:01:32.480 --> 0:01:34.399
<v Speaker 1>Joel andb the All Star. He had to battle foul

0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:38.160
<v Speaker 1>trouble throughout most of the evening. He had five personal

0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:40.679
<v Speaker 1>fouls all said and done, but picked up number five

0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:44.360
<v Speaker 1>very early on within the first minute fifteen seconds of

0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:47.000
<v Speaker 1>the fourth corner. Did finish with twenty three points, eight

0:01:47.080 --> 0:01:50.160
<v Speaker 1>rebounds and four assists. Had a big basket that helped

0:01:50.200 --> 0:01:53.080
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers build their lead up to one hundred two

0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:55.720
<v Speaker 1>ninety seven, but Dwayne Wade went to the line to

0:01:55.880 --> 0:01:58.920
<v Speaker 1>lock things up with three free throws. Ben Simmons was

0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:02.840
<v Speaker 1>intentionally foul by Wade with twenty three point eight seconds left.

0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:06.120
<v Speaker 1>He split the free throws, missed the first connected on

0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:08.160
<v Speaker 1>the second to make it one oh one two one

0:02:08.320 --> 0:02:11.280
<v Speaker 1>hundred and then with five point nine seconds ago, Dwayne Wade,

0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:14.680
<v Speaker 1>who scored a season high twenty seven points, including fifteen

0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:17.520
<v Speaker 1>in the fourth quarter, connected on a step back jumper

0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:21.000
<v Speaker 1>top of the key, as Tom McGinnis said, vintage Dwayne

0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:23.799
<v Speaker 1>Wade in tonight's game, in his sixth game back with

0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:26.200
<v Speaker 1>a Heat since the trade deadline, and he was a

0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:29.880
<v Speaker 1>huge factor in the Heat getting by and this one tonight.

0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:34.880
<v Speaker 1>Hassan Whiteside very impactful with fifteen points eleven rebounds. Kelly Olenick,

0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:38.399
<v Speaker 1>back from injury off the bench nine points, three rebounds,

0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:41.679
<v Speaker 1>three assists, but he was a presence that seemed to

0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:44.560
<v Speaker 1>bother Joel and Beads somewhat as the two of them

0:02:44.760 --> 0:02:48.200
<v Speaker 1>went at it throughout tonight's game. Grundragics very steady for

0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:50.040
<v Speaker 1>the Heat, the All Star with twenty one points and

0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:53.160
<v Speaker 1>three three pointers, and Miami with just enough to get

0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:56.560
<v Speaker 1>past the Sixers tonight thanks to a throwback effort from

0:02:56.639 --> 0:03:00.079
<v Speaker 1>Dwayne Wade's twenty seven points, hitting the decisive jumper with

0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:02.680
<v Speaker 1>five point nine seconds to go as the Heat win

0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:04.800
<v Speaker 1>this one one O two to one on one again

0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:07.639
<v Speaker 1>now within a game of the Sixers for seventh place

0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:10.480
<v Speaker 1>in the Eastern Conference, and the four game season series

0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:12.960
<v Speaker 1>stands at two to one in favor of the Sixers,

0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:16.440
<v Speaker 1>But a rematch coming a week from Thursday. Down at

0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:21.040
<v Speaker 1>American Airlines Arena. Once again, Tom McGinnis is standing bible.

0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:23.400
<v Speaker 1>Go to next. It's the postgame showing the Sixers rating

0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:27.600
<v Speaker 1>network seventy Sixers falling at American Airlines Arena by the

0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:29.240
<v Speaker 1>final score of one h two to one on one.

0:03:29.320 --> 0:03:32.320
<v Speaker 1>Brian Seltzer with you from Sixers dot Com. Tough one

0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:34.400
<v Speaker 1>for the team tonight. This really did take on a

0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:39.680
<v Speaker 1>spirited postseason feel. Points were at a premium, defense was

0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:42.760
<v Speaker 1>ratcheted up. You could tell that both clubs since the

0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:45.960
<v Speaker 1>requisite urgency and hunger in this one tonight. It was

0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:48.040
<v Speaker 1>not to be for the Sixers. They committed twenty three

0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:50.080
<v Speaker 1>turnovers in the game. Dwayne Weighed the game winner with

0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:52.360
<v Speaker 1>five point nine seconds to go to Ell and b

0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:56.240
<v Speaker 1>battling foul trouble throughout the night. For entertainment value, Tom McGinnis,

0:03:56.680 --> 0:03:59.160
<v Speaker 1>this was a great game tonight, giving you a preview

0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:01.400
<v Speaker 1>in terms of the Sixers hope will being about a

0:04:01.480 --> 0:04:04.320
<v Speaker 1>month and a half from now. The old veteran stepping

0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:06.880
<v Speaker 1>up down the stretch and putting his team over the top. Yeah,

0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:10.040
<v Speaker 1>absolutely preview, Yes, but you know, these are the types

0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:12.000
<v Speaker 1>of games that you, you know, you try to win.

0:04:12.640 --> 0:04:17.000
<v Speaker 1>Competing it's just such a deflating thing. I gotta be honest.

0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:19.960
<v Speaker 1>That was a really hard, fun game. The Sixers, you know,

0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:22.360
<v Speaker 1>quote unquote, had the game for most of the game,

0:04:22.440 --> 0:04:25.200
<v Speaker 1>but Wade was just too much down the stretch. That

0:04:25.400 --> 0:04:28.480
<v Speaker 1>running shot, the free throws, the game winning shot, I mean,

0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:31.239
<v Speaker 1>fifteen points in the fourth, you know, and the Sixers

0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:34.040
<v Speaker 1>were really hard pressed for offense down the stretch. And

0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:37.000
<v Speaker 1>that's something that that's how playoff basketball. If that's if

0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:38.960
<v Speaker 1>they're fortunate enough to get into the playoffs, that they

0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:41.840
<v Speaker 1>play their way in amongst the top eight in the East,

0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:43.680
<v Speaker 1>that's how it goes in the playoffs. I mean, they

0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:47.159
<v Speaker 1>shot forty two percent tonight, thirty five at eighty four.

0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:49.600
<v Speaker 1>And it's, as Brett Brown said, this certain that you

0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:52.080
<v Speaker 1>know your weaknesses are revealed. There's no secrets when you

0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:55.520
<v Speaker 1>play a team five to six seven times, and that

0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:57.719
<v Speaker 1>that's the kind of game it was. I thought they

0:04:57.800 --> 0:05:00.679
<v Speaker 1>took time, a little too much time at points getting

0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:04.960
<v Speaker 1>into their offense. But all told, just an absolutely incredible game.

0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:07.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, just Wade, like I said, found the fountain

0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:10.760
<v Speaker 1>of youth. He's a gold medalist, a three time NBA champion,

0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:14.720
<v Speaker 1>came back in and he sensed the moment and he

0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:17.520
<v Speaker 1>found his shot. And that's what the superstar players do.

0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:20.960
<v Speaker 1>And obviously he's in the waning portion of his career,

0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:23.240
<v Speaker 1>but he comes back to Miami tonight, he comes back

0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:25.880
<v Speaker 1>a hero. Seventy six ers drop a one o two,

0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:28.880
<v Speaker 1>one on one decision to Miami. Joel Embiide with twenty

0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:31.400
<v Speaker 1>three points, nine of sixteen from the field, had to

0:05:31.440 --> 0:05:33.880
<v Speaker 1>deal with foul trouble throughout the night. Thought Tom that

0:05:34.040 --> 0:05:37.479
<v Speaker 1>dario scharge was tremendous, giving this team a needed boost

0:05:37.520 --> 0:05:39.680
<v Speaker 1>in the second half. He finished with twenty one and

0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:42.479
<v Speaker 1>shrugged off of first half where his shot just wasn't

0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:46.880
<v Speaker 1>going down. Oh, Dario is just he's unbelievable. He plays

0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:50.320
<v Speaker 1>so hard, he's so easy to root for. He's just incredible,

0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:55.320
<v Speaker 1>And you're right, he had a tremendous game. And because

0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:59.040
<v Speaker 1>of his size, because he oftentimes spaces the floor, he

0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:03.120
<v Speaker 1>gets open and he battles for rebounds, he just dives.

0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:06.480
<v Speaker 1>I thought that was a very tough call that he

0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:09.839
<v Speaker 1>was whistled on the foul on Wayne in the corner.

0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:11.600
<v Speaker 1>And let's face it, in a game that came down

0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:14.560
<v Speaker 1>to the very end, three free throws for Dwayne Wade

0:06:14.600 --> 0:06:18.040
<v Speaker 1>that was pivotal, So you know, you can't fault Thario.

0:06:18.240 --> 0:06:20.000
<v Speaker 1>He was just incredible in terms of the way he

0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:23.240
<v Speaker 1>battled and fought in this game and quite frankly, you know,

0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:25.960
<v Speaker 1>helped the Sixers, put them, put them in a position

0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:30.640
<v Speaker 1>where they were down the stretch. He played great. Sixers

0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:32.760
<v Speaker 1>come up one point short one o two, one oh

0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:35.159
<v Speaker 1>one on the road at Miami, and the bench time

0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:37.680
<v Speaker 1>had its moments tonight two at various points in the game,

0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:40.040
<v Speaker 1>no doubt I thought so I thought that the bench,

0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:42.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, in terms of the Sixers reserves outscored them

0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:45.720
<v Speaker 1>or outplay them. You know. The scoring maye me not

0:06:45.880 --> 0:06:48.240
<v Speaker 1>because it was offset by wage twenty seven and they

0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:51.760
<v Speaker 1>got nine from Kelly Olinok. But Marco Belinelli had a

0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:54.560
<v Speaker 1>good night off the bench, and certainly the hustle and

0:06:54.760 --> 0:06:58.880
<v Speaker 1>play just not necessarily just stats, but the way we're

0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:02.719
<v Speaker 1>Sean and TJ played really helped out the Sixers. McConnell

0:07:02.800 --> 0:07:06.200
<v Speaker 1>had seven points, three assists, three rebounds were Shawn had

0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:09.640
<v Speaker 1>six points and that was the bulk of the scoring

0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:11.680
<v Speaker 1>for the seventy six ers. Infect those are the only

0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:14.600
<v Speaker 1>three because they had twenty six points. Weighed himself at

0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:17.480
<v Speaker 1>twenty seven, but that group a mirror. Even though he

0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:20.240
<v Speaker 1>didn't have a he didn't score and a couple of

0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:23.200
<v Speaker 1>times he was denied by Whiteside. He played well at times.

0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:26.960
<v Speaker 1>So I mean, the Sixers starters, Bryan, you tell me,

0:07:27.040 --> 0:07:29.119
<v Speaker 1>but numericaly, I guess they're the best in the NBA.

0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:31.600
<v Speaker 1>And I think he needed a little bit more off

0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:34.120
<v Speaker 1>the bench, to be sure. But they certainly played with

0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:36.640
<v Speaker 1>a lot of heart and fight. It was hard, you know,

0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:38.960
<v Speaker 1>and Beat had a good game. He was nine of sixteen,

0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:42.480
<v Speaker 1>but most of his game for the most of his

0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:46.720
<v Speaker 1>points came from the outside, where he was keeping Whiteside

0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:50.040
<v Speaker 1>away from the basket. It was tough, though. The Sixers

0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:52.160
<v Speaker 1>go in there there. They're a very good defensive team.

0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:55.120
<v Speaker 1>They really recovered well. They clogged up the middle. It

0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:57.640
<v Speaker 1>was difficult. That's where a lot of the Sixers turnovers

0:07:57.720 --> 0:08:00.320
<v Speaker 1>came in the middle. Thinking they had a guy Beat

0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:01.480
<v Speaker 1>and then they would get in there and all of

0:08:01.480 --> 0:08:03.600
<v Speaker 1>a sudden there was no space, and then they would

0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:06.520
<v Speaker 1>try to pass it in tight quarters in the lane.

0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:09.360
<v Speaker 1>And these players are too big, too athletic, they cover

0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:12.600
<v Speaker 1>too much space. They're great defensively, and that's really kind

0:08:12.640 --> 0:08:16.000
<v Speaker 1>of NBA players in general. And it was difficult. So

0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:18.400
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers got to clean things up a little bit offensively.

0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:20.400
<v Speaker 1>This was a game you hope to kind of get

0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:23.840
<v Speaker 1>back on track after a tough loss in Washington. And

0:08:24.040 --> 0:08:26.160
<v Speaker 1>like I said, they played, they played so well, they

0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:28.760
<v Speaker 1>had Miami at bay and yet the heat able to

0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:31.600
<v Speaker 1>come back and I'll score the Sixers in the second

0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:34.080
<v Speaker 1>half and come away with a victory and sets up

0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:36.120
<v Speaker 1>another big game, you know in March here when the

0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:39.920
<v Speaker 1>Sixers return, but again on Thursday, you know, against Cleveland

0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:43.040
<v Speaker 1>who has obviously changed their course of their season with

0:08:43.120 --> 0:08:46.760
<v Speaker 1>a big trade earlier this month. And you know, it's hard.

0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:49.480
<v Speaker 1>It's life in the NBA in terms of playing well

0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:52.720
<v Speaker 1>and having the game and yet losing and then having

0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:55.559
<v Speaker 1>last second shot that didn't go. But you got to

0:08:55.600 --> 0:08:58.240
<v Speaker 1>come right back with renewed injury energy and try it

0:08:58.280 --> 0:09:00.920
<v Speaker 1>again and do it again on Thursday day night. Good

0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:03.400
<v Speaker 1>veteran perspective as always from the one and only Tom

0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:05.679
<v Speaker 1>McGuinness After a tough one for the Sixers tonight one

0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:08.600
<v Speaker 1>O two, one on one, Tom talks to you on Thursday,

0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:11.640
<v Speaker 1>and it's definitely been something and a theme that Brett

0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:13.439
<v Speaker 1>Brown has hit upon as of late. It's like, what

0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:15.480
<v Speaker 1>are you focusing on this time of year? You're looking

0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:17.760
<v Speaker 1>at the standings every day, and Brett's response has been

0:09:18.200 --> 0:09:22.120
<v Speaker 1>pretty consistent in that, No, we're trying to get time, score,

0:09:22.280 --> 0:09:25.480
<v Speaker 1>situational things down at this stage of the year, figuring

0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:26.839
<v Speaker 1>stuff out. And it's going to be neat to go

0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:29.080
<v Speaker 1>back at this one and dig in a little bit

0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:31.640
<v Speaker 1>closer as far as who was on the floor when

0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:33.960
<v Speaker 1>in crunch time of this game for the seventy sixers,

0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:36.559
<v Speaker 1>because that could very well give a preview of what

0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:38.800
<v Speaker 1>could happen for the Sixers, or at least at this stage,

0:09:38.880 --> 0:09:41.360
<v Speaker 1>what they might be thinking about as far as simulating

0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:43.679
<v Speaker 1>and drawing up for the playoffs, or maybe they take

0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:46.160
<v Speaker 1>a few things away, learn a few things, and do

0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:48.360
<v Speaker 1>things differently the next time. The good news for the

0:09:48.440 --> 0:09:51.440
<v Speaker 1>Sixers is they still have a couple games in hand,

0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:53.360
<v Speaker 1>and they're two in front of the Heat and the

0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:57.040
<v Speaker 1>lost column. Although Miami moves to within a game. Officially,

0:09:57.080 --> 0:09:59.640
<v Speaker 1>of the Sixers in the standings, they have the Cleveland

0:09:59.720 --> 0:10:02.240
<v Speaker 1>caval There's coming up next, as Tom said on Thursday,

0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:04.520
<v Speaker 1>but before we talk more about that matchup, we'll get

0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:06.760
<v Speaker 1>to some highlights on the other side. It's the postgame

0:10:06.840 --> 0:10:10.360
<v Speaker 1>show on the Sixers Raider Network seventy Sixers and the

0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:14.640
<v Speaker 1>Miami Heat at American Airlines Arena. Round one of two

0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:16.840
<v Speaker 1>between these two teams or the course of the next

0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:19.280
<v Speaker 1>two weeks and their final two matchups of this season,

0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:22.760
<v Speaker 1>really entertaining battles the first two times round up here

0:10:22.840 --> 0:10:25.000
<v Speaker 1>in the Delaware Valley, a chance to move it to

0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:29.679
<v Speaker 1>South Florida for key games in the Eastern Conference playoff race.

0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:32.760
<v Speaker 1>As we recapped this one tonight, the Sixers and the

0:10:32.800 --> 0:10:35.800
<v Speaker 1>Heat pretty even the first six minutes of play. It

0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:38.200
<v Speaker 1>would stay that way as the Heat jumped in front

0:10:38.280 --> 0:10:40.600
<v Speaker 1>seventeen to fifteen and the Sixers got a big run

0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:43.320
<v Speaker 1>going capped off by this play to end the first quarter.

0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:46.560
<v Speaker 1>And here's allowed to comming. Tonny Japson hook one hand,

0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:50.840
<v Speaker 1>Robert Comington throws it down. Well, that works, Miami stunned.

0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:54.320
<v Speaker 1>Great screen by Rashaun Holt and Comington throws it down.

0:10:55.120 --> 0:10:58.080
<v Speaker 1>Sixers scored the final nine points of the first quarter.

0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:01.480
<v Speaker 1>They extended that run to eleven straight going into the second.

0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:04.079
<v Speaker 1>They increased their lead to thirty five to twenty three

0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:06.199
<v Speaker 1>on an ice play by Ben Simmons, but the heat

0:11:06.200 --> 0:11:08.120
<v Speaker 1>would have run in them. Over the next three and

0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:10.240
<v Speaker 1>a half minutes, they scored fifteen points in a row,

0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:13.600
<v Speaker 1>with Hassan white Side making an impact. The Sixers went

0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:16.600
<v Speaker 1>to their special team's options and once again closed out

0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:22.200
<v Speaker 1>the quarter with an energizing pivotal contribution. TJ looking looking

0:11:22.600 --> 0:11:25.760
<v Speaker 1>and finally gets it in the JJ Reddick at mid court,

0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:27.559
<v Speaker 1>Reddick with a dribble, Reddick at the Dario Darry with

0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:30.760
<v Speaker 1>it's gone at the end of the opening clurt. Dario

0:11:30.960 --> 0:11:33.679
<v Speaker 1>Shirt scores with a half a second to go. That

0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:35.520
<v Speaker 1>was with a half second left in the second quarter

0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:37.880
<v Speaker 1>of The Sixers went into the break leading forty eight

0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:41.440
<v Speaker 1>to forty five. Miami trouble shooting. While both teams had

0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:44.280
<v Speaker 1>troubleshooting outside the arc and perhaps the troubleshooting in general

0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:46.440
<v Speaker 1>in the first half, but a couple of quick threes

0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:48.960
<v Speaker 1>from Tyler Johnson early on in the third tied up

0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:51.439
<v Speaker 1>the game and then sent the Heat in front and

0:11:51.600 --> 0:11:55.199
<v Speaker 1>the race was on. Joel Embiid picked up his fourth

0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:58.000
<v Speaker 1>foul early on in the third quarters to the Sixers

0:11:58.040 --> 0:12:00.800
<v Speaker 1>were looking for some sort of boost. Dary charge more

0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:04.319
<v Speaker 1>than willing to take on that responsibility. Ten ties. Tent

0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:07.920
<v Speaker 1>Lee changes third quarter Sixers Baal weddeck outside right, Dario,

0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:11.160
<v Speaker 1>he wants a three. It's up at it Dario Shark

0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:14.240
<v Speaker 1>from J. J. Ruddick and the Sixers have gone from

0:12:14.280 --> 0:12:18.400
<v Speaker 1>ice cold from beyond. It's a hot right every he fought, well,

0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:20.559
<v Speaker 1>what would that make Dario scharche He would score the

0:12:20.600 --> 0:12:23.520
<v Speaker 1>next nine points for the seventy sixers. Then had to say,

0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:25.920
<v Speaker 1>in this one, but Ben gets it back into a mirror,

0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:29.720
<v Speaker 1>not a Dario, don't look past it's a damn by seventh.

0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:33.920
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, Dario Shark with a great beat and down

0:12:34.040 --> 0:12:37.520
<v Speaker 1>lows I was saying, no, Look. It was sixty seven

0:12:37.559 --> 0:12:39.600
<v Speaker 1>to fifty eight. At that point you start to think,

0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:42.000
<v Speaker 1>all right, the Sixers putting themselves in a good spot.

0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:45.240
<v Speaker 1>But Dwayne Wade Gon Dragicic got things going in the

0:12:45.280 --> 0:12:47.720
<v Speaker 1>Heat's favor. It was a two point game, Sixers up

0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:50.640
<v Speaker 1>seventy five seventy three going into the fourth, Joel and

0:12:50.640 --> 0:12:54.000
<v Speaker 1>bead quickly picked up a fifth foul. Sixers bench got

0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:56.480
<v Speaker 1>things wrapped up. Marco Belinelli with back to back three

0:12:56.559 --> 0:12:59.079
<v Speaker 1>pointers where Sean Holmes giving some nice minutes in the

0:12:59.120 --> 0:13:02.400
<v Speaker 1>front court ended in front court in La Lobster Shawn

0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:05.120
<v Speaker 1>for Shawn bumped by James Johnson, no call back to

0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:08.240
<v Speaker 1>Dower Innate charged laws that his loues. He gains it back,

0:13:08.280 --> 0:13:10.320
<v Speaker 1>he dies, it's out the fer Shawn picks it up

0:13:10.440 --> 0:13:13.319
<v Speaker 1>ag to shoot homes against Olynic, bores his shoulder into

0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:16.760
<v Speaker 1>and puts it in a tough book by forshawn Home.

0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:19.439
<v Speaker 1>Miami would respond with a run to the score of

0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:23.199
<v Speaker 1>eleven to one. Game tied at eighty seven, Sharks with

0:13:23.280 --> 0:13:25.679
<v Speaker 1>a go ahead three pointer, but the Sixers and the

0:13:25.720 --> 0:13:28.800
<v Speaker 1>heat still neck and neck. Jj Reddick found while shooting

0:13:28.800 --> 0:13:30.959
<v Speaker 1>a three, he knocked all three free throws down to

0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:34.160
<v Speaker 1>make it ninety eight ninety five with one forty seven ago.

0:13:34.320 --> 0:13:36.720
<v Speaker 1>Dwayne Wade with a basket to make it a one

0:13:36.800 --> 0:13:40.040
<v Speaker 1>point game. Joel Ebad summing up some stuff playing down

0:13:40.080 --> 0:13:42.400
<v Speaker 1>the stretch in foul trouble up a high screen by

0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:44.559
<v Speaker 1>it beat back to Joel It beat drives out of

0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:47.000
<v Speaker 1>whiteside in La Hanks puts it up. No good, he

0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:49.040
<v Speaker 1>got it, check that he got it. Wait, put it

0:13:49.120 --> 0:13:51.720
<v Speaker 1>in and teeter it on the rib. He dipped under

0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:56.040
<v Speaker 1>whiteside and scored it. One hundred and ninety seven seventy

0:13:56.120 --> 0:13:59.280
<v Speaker 1>sixers Dwayne Wade. He was found while shooting a three

0:13:59.440 --> 0:14:01.480
<v Speaker 1>of his own own. He knocked down all three with

0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:04.800
<v Speaker 1>twenty seven seconds left, one hundred a piece. Then Wade

0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:08.840
<v Speaker 1>would intentionally foul Ben Simmons. Simmons missing the first, hitting

0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:10.920
<v Speaker 1>the second with twenty three point eight seconds to go,

0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:13.199
<v Speaker 1>and then it was time to go into the way

0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:15.680
<v Speaker 1>back machine. Wait at the top of the geat Simmons

0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:17.600
<v Speaker 1>is on him. Wait with a gribble step back shot

0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:20.120
<v Speaker 1>in the air. It's good. Five point nine to go

0:14:20.440 --> 0:14:23.840
<v Speaker 1>and Miami has taken a leak. No wait, wait, what's

0:14:23.840 --> 0:14:27.040
<v Speaker 1>the heat up? One o two, one oh one. They

0:14:27.080 --> 0:14:29.440
<v Speaker 1>would stay up. The Sixers got a great wide open

0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:31.400
<v Speaker 1>look at the top of the arc to JJ Reddick

0:14:31.440 --> 0:14:34.360
<v Speaker 1>as time was expiring. It was an inbounds play where

0:14:34.440 --> 0:14:36.840
<v Speaker 1>Simmons took a given go from Reddick, dribbled to the

0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:39.160
<v Speaker 1>side of the lane, drew the attention, kicked it to

0:14:39.240 --> 0:14:41.960
<v Speaker 1>the corners. Charts then swung it up top, but Reddick

0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:44.400
<v Speaker 1>was not able to get the three pointer to go,

0:14:44.600 --> 0:14:47.120
<v Speaker 1>and the Miami Heat escaped with a one point win.

0:14:47.560 --> 0:14:49.920
<v Speaker 1>Sixers shoot just under forty two percent from the field,

0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:52.760
<v Speaker 1>Miami forty four and a half percent. Twelve three pointers

0:14:52.800 --> 0:14:54.960
<v Speaker 1>for the Sixers, nine for the Heat. Sixers, nineteen of

0:14:55.040 --> 0:14:57.840
<v Speaker 1>twenty three from the foul line Miami plus two from

0:14:57.840 --> 0:14:59.840
<v Speaker 1>the stripe in the game, twenty one of twenty eight.

0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:02.400
<v Speaker 1>Sixers were plus six on the glass. With a big

0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:05.680
<v Speaker 1>disparity in this one tonight, twenty three turnovers to Miami

0:15:05.800 --> 0:15:09.520
<v Speaker 1>seventeen the Sixers minus eight in terms of points scored

0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:13.320
<v Speaker 1>off turnovers, Miami had twenty six of them. Dwayne Wade

0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:16.240
<v Speaker 1>a season high twenty seven points. This was his sixth

0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:18.920
<v Speaker 1>game back with the Heat since the trade deadline. Head

0:15:18.960 --> 0:15:21.920
<v Speaker 1>of sixteen from the field, two of four outside the arc,

0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:24.480
<v Speaker 1>five of five from the free throw line. Joellanbiad led

0:15:24.520 --> 0:15:27.080
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers with twenty three points and thirty minutes, three

0:15:27.120 --> 0:15:29.120
<v Speaker 1>of six from outside the arc. He also had eight

0:15:29.320 --> 0:15:33.520
<v Speaker 1>rebounds and four assists, but five turnovers and five personal fouls.

0:15:33.840 --> 0:15:36.680
<v Speaker 1>Twenty one for Dario Charch seven of fourteen from the field,

0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:40.400
<v Speaker 1>three of seven from three point territory, seventeen points for
