Speaker 1: Sixers with a fourteen point win over the Hornets tonight
Speaker 1: in North Carolina one twenty eight, one fourteen, now thirty
Speaker 1: five and twenty eight for the Sixers sixth in the East.
Speaker 1: Miami is in overtime with Washington. They were a game
Speaker 1: and a half behind the Sixers. Meanwhile, the Wizards a
Speaker 1: half a game ahead of the Sixers, So it's conceivable
Speaker 1: with Washington if they were to lose at home to Miami,
Speaker 1: the Sixers would go into fifth or at least a
Speaker 1: fifth place tie with the Wizards and up decks for
Speaker 1: the Sixers at Miami Thursday night, seven thirty, Game three
Speaker 1: of this four game road trip all lean Saturday in Brooklyn,
Speaker 1: and the Sixers will be home next Tuesday against Victor Oladipo.
Speaker 1: Here's Brett Brown from outside these Sixers locker room. You know,
Speaker 1: I thought that the job he did defensively, he switched
Speaker 1: out on kember Lot, you know, Kemba I think was
Speaker 1: one for nine, you know, with five points. A TJ
Speaker 1: also had an excellent game on Kemba, and then Robert scored,
Speaker 1: you know, he eight shots. He found a way to
Speaker 1: contribute on both sides of the the ball, and he
Speaker 1: was the uh he was the bell ringing tonight first half.
Speaker 1: For him to really turn it on in the second,
Speaker 1: I took. What I liked most was that we had
Speaker 1: seventy one points in the first half and he only
Speaker 1: had four. And it shows that, you know, we we
Speaker 1: were growing our bench. I thought our bench was excellent tonight.
Speaker 1: That he's got another he's got a group of players
Speaker 1: and people around him that care and are capable, and
Speaker 1: you know, tonight, like offensively, he struggled, I suppose in
Speaker 1: the first half and then had a you know, a solid,
Speaker 1: big second half. And I think just the fact that
Speaker 1: that we, you know, could put that volume of points
Speaker 1: on the board and and be winning at halftime without
Speaker 1: really Joel sort of completely stamping his thumb on that
Speaker 1: first half was was a good sign. I thought. In
Speaker 1: relation to the turnovers, I mean, you talked about how
Speaker 1: you want your team to be smart, not scared, but
Speaker 1: I mean we're actually trending. It doesn't probably get the
Speaker 1: attention you know, you wish it did because you have
Speaker 1: a game like we did the other night on TV,
Speaker 1: and you know it is it's a killer. You can't
Speaker 1: win any game when you had twenty six turnovers, and
Speaker 1: I give Milwaukee credits some of them. You know, we're
Speaker 1: self inflicted and we're aware of it. And uh, you know,
Speaker 1: since the the the All Star break, you know, we've
Speaker 1: come out of this understanding like we have to fix this,
Speaker 1: we have to own it, and for the most part
Speaker 1: we have. You know, I think we're like fifteenth or
Speaker 1: fourteenth after the All Star break, and it's just the
Speaker 1: the fourteen turnovers tonight really allowed us to put that
Speaker 1: many points on the board. That's Brett Brown from outside
Speaker 1: the Sixers locker of an impressive second half for the
Speaker 1: Sixers as even though they only opened their lead to
Speaker 1: two more, it was just a dominant period for them.
Speaker 1: So they went again as they beat in Charlotte now
Speaker 1: wise and again the final one twenty eight to one fourteen.
Speaker 1: We'll throw it back to the Bond Gibbons and continue
Speaker 1: our coverage on the Sixers radio network. This is the
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Has seventy Sixers postgame Show. I can walk up
Speaker 1: all of my Broadstreet hard She's gonna turn him. Get
Speaker 1: it off, Matty Rolls The Sixers postgame show right now
Speaker 1: on ninety seven five. The Finetic the seventy six is
Speaker 1: continue their road run and come away with the victory
Speaker 1: and one of their better wins of the season on
Speaker 1: the road tonight again as they beat the Charlotte Hornets
Speaker 1: in Charlotte at the Spectrum Center one twenty eight, one fourteen,
Speaker 1: improving their record now to thirty five twenty eight on
Speaker 1: the season. Hello, A'm Divine gives and welcome to the
Speaker 1: Sixers postgame show here on the Sixers Radio Network. We
Speaker 1: are going to head back to Charlotte to hear from
Speaker 1: the man who gave the game call here, Tom again
Speaker 1: us to get his thoughts on this solid win again
Speaker 1: away from home. One twenty eight one one fourteen, Tom,
Speaker 1: and win here as we talked about it. Pregame a
Speaker 1: one of these things, two game, four game road trip,
Speaker 1: second game on this trip and they go into a
Speaker 1: place like Charlotte. Ware team is still trying to find
Speaker 1: their way into the postseason, and the Sixers just come
Speaker 1: away with a very very good offensive performance tonight in
Speaker 1: this victory, no doubt, very impressive as you say, and
Speaker 1: the Sixers moved the ball around. What excuse me, Brett
Speaker 1: Brown was just saying when teams double and bad, which
Speaker 1: quite frankly, the Sixers didn't handle that well because Joel
Speaker 1: didn't handle it early in the game all that effectively.
Speaker 1: But they moved that ball around and they got some
Speaker 1: good three point shooting, and that I think is going
Speaker 1: to be the secret of the Sixers success, and that
Speaker 1: is how they handle double teams when the bad gets
Speaker 1: the ball and then the space scene around him. And
Speaker 1: you know, obviously they've added Davon Bella, Nelli and Ilyosova.
Speaker 1: They both were in double figures tonight, and JJ got
Speaker 1: off to a good start. Dario and Covington combined for
Speaker 1: nine threes and a great overall performance, and they just
Speaker 1: they pummeled Charlotte. They kept Walker at bay, and you
Speaker 1: could tell that they were a dejected group. I mean,
Speaker 1: still it was a nine point game or so, you know,
Speaker 1: at nine thirty eight to go, they were still they
Speaker 1: were just a basket away from making it a six
Speaker 1: point game. And the Sixers, they were the ones particularly,
Speaker 1: were around five or six minutes to go. I was
Speaker 1: saying at that point, if the Sixers were able to
Speaker 1: just manage the next two and a half minutes, they'll
Speaker 1: win the game. Well, right, they went on a little
Speaker 1: spurge and went up sixteen and for all intensive purposes,
Speaker 1: that was the game. So that's what that three point
Speaker 1: shooting can do. They stood a season high for Dwight Howard,
Speaker 1: but a great overall team victory for the Sixers, and
Speaker 1: as you pointed out, eight of fourteen between Covington and
Speaker 1: Reddick behind the three point line. But I want to
Speaker 1: focus on Robert Covington because sometimes, as we know, the
Speaker 1: game can go up and down. For him tonight, seven
Speaker 1: of eleven from the floor, five of nine from behind
Speaker 1: the ark, thirty minutes of play for twenty two points.
Speaker 1: But tim also, as you pointed out, Kimball Walker only
Speaker 1: five points. A lot of it also had to do
Speaker 1: with the defense of Robert Covington. What have you seen
Speaker 1: from him tonight? What did you see from Covington tonight
Speaker 1: overall to come away with this solid game? Well, he
Speaker 1: is without question the sixers best perimeter option defensively, and
Speaker 1: he draws that assignment night in and night out. Whether
Speaker 1: it's a quick, perimeter based point guard like Walker who
Speaker 1: certainly can drive the ball, or Denikupo or Lebron I mean,
Speaker 1: think about it, those are huge assignments. And then to
Speaker 1: step up and also hit threes. I mean as Brett
Speaker 1: Brown uses the phrase, that's the holy grail being a
Speaker 1: two way player. And he did a tremendous job. He
Speaker 1: got some deflections which leads to steals and turnovers on
Speaker 1: the opponents. I mean, he's done a tremendous job. He's
Speaker 1: a streaky shooter, to be sure, and he's had his lolls,
Speaker 1: maybe longer this season then in years past. But when
Speaker 1: he steps up and he's going to be a key
Speaker 1: component for the Sixers, I mean when he knocks that
Speaker 1: ball down, I mean, the Sixers become that much better,
Speaker 1: particularly when he's not the only three points. Dario shooting
Speaker 1: at a high level, jj Son, Marco, they can all
Speaker 1: make those shots and including Embiid. That I think is
Speaker 1: going to be the key to the six or success
Speaker 1: in the postseason, provided they get there. And you spoke
Speaker 1: with Dario scharge postgame, and what can you say about
Speaker 1: his play over the last couple of weeks, and this
Speaker 1: he pointed out maybe coming from the All Star breaker,
Speaker 1: just took him a little time to get his legs going,
Speaker 1: but overall, stepping into that starting lineup at the early
Speaker 1: in the beginning of the season and just maintaining that
Speaker 1: steady level of play from Dario starts and playing well defensively, Tom,
Speaker 1: He's just been a really, really good piece for this
Speaker 1: seventy six ers starting unit. Well. Absolutely, he's got no agenda.
Speaker 1: He's all about team and he'll do anything it takes.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's effective and powerful down low. He's now
Speaker 1: starting to hit the three ball with more consistency. I
Speaker 1: mean last year, when you left the season, you know
Speaker 1: what he pay You knew he played so much basketball.
Speaker 1: He had a bit of a line drive trajectory on
Speaker 1: his threes. I think he's worked on that. That's added
Speaker 1: to his ability to hit that shot, you know, the
Speaker 1: higher arc, softer shot, and then he grinds. He's a
Speaker 1: defensive player, he rebounds, He's just been a great asset.
Speaker 1: You know. I think he's a bit of an underrated
Speaker 1: sixer player when a lot of the attention, and understandably
Speaker 1: so deservedly so goes to Ben and Joel. But he
Speaker 1: is a major component for this team, particularly with the
Speaker 1: bead you know, going out then and Dario goes down
Speaker 1: there and is again like we saw at the end
Speaker 1: of the last year, he's a very effective post player.
Speaker 1: It's not like it's this picture perfect rolling skyhook, a
Speaker 1: thing of beauty. But he gets in there and nudges
Speaker 1: him over the rim and scores with regularity. And like
Speaker 1: I said, I wouldn't say with ease, but he's very
Speaker 1: effective and if he can't score it, he's able to
Speaker 1: pass it out. So he's been a major part of
Speaker 1: the sixers success. Absolutely and offensively again shooting fifty seven
Speaker 1: percent from the floor, forty eight from behind a three
Speaker 1: point line. Just a very very good offensive displayed by
Speaker 1: the Sixes tonight, Tom, thanks so much for your time.
Speaker 1: We will catch up with you on Thursday live from Miami.
Speaker 1: All right, thank you, and I wanted to thank Mark Feltman,
Speaker 1: our engineer here in Charlotte. Good night, Good night Tom.
Speaker 1: Tom McGinnis again live from the Spectrum Center in Charlotte
Speaker 1: as the Philadelphia seventy six is take down the Hornets
Speaker 1: one twenty eight, one fourteen, a four game series for
Speaker 1: them this season. They played them. Sixers played the Hornets
Speaker 1: last Friday at home and come away with that win
Speaker 1: and a very impressive win, and then tonight just topping
Speaker 1: that win, improving to thirty five and twenty eight on
Speaker 1: the season. They dominated the Hornets on the glass forty
Speaker 1: four to thirty three. And one of the things that
Speaker 1: I always like to look at thirty five assists on
Speaker 1: fifty made baskets. That just goes to show how much
Speaker 1: they're sharing the ball. Tom pointed out, the ball is
Speaker 1: constantly moving, the balls popping out of each other's hands,
Speaker 1: and they when they're able to do that, better opportunities,
Speaker 1: better looks at the basket, and then protecting the basketball.
Speaker 1: With only fourteen turnovers tonight, the six is very very
Speaker 1: good across the board, both offensively in defense. Six is
Speaker 1: when one, eight, one, fourteen over the Charlotte Hornets. We
Speaker 1: come back on the other side a little bit more
Speaker 1: diving into the box score as the Sixes improved to
Speaker 1: thirty five and twenty eight. I'm divine givens. This is
Speaker 1: the Sixes postgame show on the Sixes Radio Network. Solid
Speaker 1: win for the seventy Sixes again tonight on the road,
Speaker 1: thirty five and twenty eight now in the season, and
Speaker 1: on the road they do hold a record of fifteen
Speaker 1: and eighteen now away from the center. But again looking
Speaker 1: into what the Philadelphia seventy Sixes did tonight against the
Speaker 1: Charlotte Horns, and it starts with the head of their offense,
Speaker 1: the head of their team, their franchise player, if you will,
Speaker 1: kemba Walker in thirty four minutes and forty five seconds,
Speaker 1: and you look at the one of nine shooting, all
Speaker 1: five from the floor, only two turnovers, but only managing
Speaker 1: to come away with five points. And that again is
Speaker 1: just simply going back to what he had against the
Speaker 1: Philadelphia seventy Sixes last Friday in the one ninety nine lost.
Speaker 1: He got off to a very very hot start, finishing
Speaker 1: game with thirty one points on eleven of twenty one shooting.
Speaker 1: But the way the Philadelphia seventy six is, and we
Speaker 1: talked about it with Tom again his pregame about how
Speaker 1: things had to be where you had to make sure
Speaker 1: that Kimball Walker was not allowed to get things going
Speaker 1: to get this offense started. And while the Hornets discord
Speaker 1: twenty seven points in the first quarter, after that with
Speaker 1: the seventy six is having a lead by twelve at
Speaker 1: the half, seventy one to fifty nine, it was everyone
Speaker 1: else doing their job minus the All Star, the two
Speaker 1: time All Star and Kimball Walker, Dwight Howard, had a
Speaker 1: bit of a resurgence. If you will, twelve of seventeen
Speaker 1: from the floor. Offensively, you did not expect that type
Speaker 1: of game from Dwight Howard in the thirty minutes and
Speaker 1: twenty seconds, thirty points from the big Man, six rebounds again,
Speaker 1: twelve of seventeen from the floor, Nicholas Betune with only
Speaker 1: twelve Marvin Williams eleven. The fifth starter for the Charlotte Horners,
Speaker 1: Michael Kidd Gilchris. He fouled out very early apart he
Speaker 1: was ejected very early in the game after picking up
Speaker 1: two technical fouls, at the second being at the three
Speaker 1: fifty two mark. And you would think, defensively, with what
Speaker 1: you know of Michael Carter Williams to come in and
Speaker 1: maybe make things a little more difficult for Robert Covington
Speaker 1: in his twenty two points this evening, and they were
Speaker 1: that was sorely missed. They sorely missed the Hornets did
Speaker 1: Michael kid Gilchris and the energy that he brings on
Speaker 1: the defensive end off the bench for the Hornets. Frank
Speaker 1: mc kaminsky twenty minutes of play, four of nine from
Speaker 1: the floor, a little bit of a burst also of energy,
Speaker 1: but not enough. The eleven points that he contributed to
Speaker 1: simply not enough to help the philadelph Charlotte Hornets take
Speaker 1: down the Philadelphia seventy Sixers. Again, looking at the Sixers
Speaker 1: bench and what they were able to do, Tom pointed
Speaker 1: out Marco Bell and Nellie and ear soon Iliosilva both
Speaker 1: coming off the bench with eleven points apiece, but a
Speaker 1: lot you cannot overlook the impact that Emir Johnson and
Speaker 1: t J McConnell also had in their reserve roles seven points.
Speaker 1: Former Johnson, not known for his scoring, not known for
Speaker 1: his outside shooting, as he knocked down his only three
Speaker 1: point attempt three or four from the floor for his
Speaker 1: seven points contributing and also adding five rebounds to assists
Speaker 1: to his stat line on the evening, but just solid overall,
Speaker 1: tough defense in the paint. While he will be scored
Speaker 1: on at times, he's going to make that offensive player
Speaker 1: work for every point that they get in. TJ McConnell
Speaker 1: coming in and just being the spark plug that he
Speaker 1: is and oftentimes off the bench for Brett Brown and
Speaker 1: the seventy Sixers eight points and five assists and two
Speaker 1: steals right away, also two steals. He came in and
Speaker 1: gave a good impact two steals right away in twenty
Speaker 1: four minutes to play nine seconds of basketball for the
Speaker 1: reserve point guard for the Philadelphia seventy six Timy Taylor.
Speaker 1: Wawu Rashaun Holmes. Justin Anderson also got some late run
Speaker 1: for the seventy Sixers as thing where things were pretty
Speaker 1: much out of hand down the stretch for this team
Speaker 1: again coming away with the one twenty eight, one fourteen
Speaker 1: victory over the Charlotte Hornets at the Spectrum Center. Coming
Speaker 1: up on the other side, we'll get into the highlights,
Speaker 1: of course, called by the man you just heard from,
Speaker 1: Tom McGuinness. This is the Sixes postgame show. I'm Divine
Speaker 1: Givens right here on the Sixers Radio Network. Philadelphia seventy
Speaker 1: Sixers again win one twenty eight one fourteen over the
Speaker 1: Charlotte Hornets, improving their record thirty five and twenty eight,
Speaker 1: and now we get to the highlights as the Philadelphia
Speaker 1: seventy Sixes again start things off with the scoring. Ben
Speaker 1: Simmons gets it going right away. Dario Charge follows up
Speaker 1: a little bit later with a three pointer to make
Speaker 1: it a seven and four advantage to the Sixers, but
Speaker 1: then the Horners turn things around take advantage and get
Speaker 1: their first lead and carry it on out. But the
Speaker 1: Sixers again find their way and claw their way back
Speaker 1: from Mere Johnson. The three points that we pointed out,
Speaker 1: he knocked that one down to make it twenty one
Speaker 1: to eight. And we mentioned TJ. McConnell as well, with
Speaker 1: that bench unit that came in to help give the
Speaker 1: Philip off, You're seventy sixers some energy and some life,
Speaker 1: a spark off the bench he connects with Ben Simmons
Speaker 1: with a very impressive play. There's a steel by TJ.
Speaker 1: He's got Simmons, Elliott, Ben Simmons, and Ben Air throws
Speaker 1: it down. A spectacular run out jam by the Sixers.
Speaker 1: That's how you throw the Ellie, very impressive way to
Speaker 1: contort his body in the air, Ben Simmons flushing it
Speaker 1: down for the seventy sixes in transition. That made a
Speaker 1: twenty one twenty Charlotte. A little back and forth, a
Speaker 1: little on the seesaw, if you will, for the Sixers
Speaker 1: and the Hornets. But at the end of the first
Speaker 1: quarter at the buzzer, JJ Reddick with one of his
Speaker 1: three point meets Arsta with the rebound. I'll let the
Speaker 1: Bellonelli three to shoot Bellonelli to JJ the corner for
Speaker 1: an off balustrator ten J. J Reddick, What the buzzer
Speaker 1: going off? What a play by the Sixers. A little
Speaker 1: barking from JJ Reddick as well with some of the
Speaker 1: fans in the crowd. You have to think some of
Speaker 1: the Charlotte Hornets faithful, we're giving JJ Reddick the business
Speaker 1: of bid it after making that shot fade away, falling
Speaker 1: out of bounds, making sure he had a few choice
Speaker 1: words for the fans in the Charlotte crowd. Six is
Speaker 1: up thirty to twenty seven at the end of the
Speaker 1: first quarter. Dario charts again keeping things going in the
Speaker 1: start of the second, coming out of the start, coming
Speaker 1: out with a three pointer to tie things up forty
Speaker 1: two to forty two. Robert Covington the expressive play tonight
Speaker 1: seven to eleven from the floor. Here is one of
Speaker 1: his five three pointers. Bendtle left hand Simmons back to
Speaker 1: a trailing charge ball, fake dribble move kid Gilchris and
Speaker 1: Kamiski there back out to Covington for three good JJ
Speaker 1: Reddick followed things up not too far after with a
Speaker 1: long two pointer to make it fifty seven to forty eight.
Speaker 1: As the Sixes started to be spread things out a
Speaker 1: little bit. Take advantage of a twelve to two running
Speaker 1: and move away from the Charlotte Hornets again as they
Speaker 1: try to make a push. Ben Simmons with the layup
Speaker 1: to make it sixty to fifty aerosound Ilias Silva eleven
Speaker 1: points off of the bench. Here's one from deep. Here's
Speaker 1: Joel against Dwight Howard and Walker comes over to steal it,
Speaker 1: but Joel bounces the TJ over to your son. Opened
Speaker 1: three by Iliosilva is good and the Sixers have come
Speaker 1: alive in a huge way, in a huge way on
Speaker 1: a twenty one to four run, sixty four to fifty
Speaker 1: lead at that point. After Ilia Silva's three point basket
Speaker 1: at the end of the second quarter, there was a
Speaker 1: Dwight Howard three point but before that, TJ McConnell snuck
Speaker 1: behind the defense as they were sleeping on the n
Speaker 1: inbounds play. Ben Simmons delivered a perfectly past basketball two
Speaker 1: t J McConnell to Layden for seventy one fifty six
Speaker 1: seventy one fifty ninety advantage. After Dwight Howard three pointer.
Speaker 1: Howard kept it going tonight as he was very physical,
Speaker 1: very active in the paint. Here is one and one
Speaker 1: for the veteran big man underhand Howard in the law
Speaker 1: bead he goes around him in another lamp by Dwight
Speaker 1: Howard one a contrast and beat had twenty three and
Speaker 1: fifteen points and rebounds. I guess a foul pro Howard
Speaker 1: Friday at the Center in Philadelphia and thinks have turned
Speaker 1: and that made his seventy seven to seventy. And as
Speaker 1: things started to turn, and he got a little nervous
Speaker 1: as to wondering if the Philadelphia seventy sixes who were
Speaker 1: again gonna allow a comeback. They did not. Dario Shards
Speaker 1: made sure of that, knocking down a three, making it
Speaker 1: eighty five to seventy four, as the Hornets again just
Speaker 1: keeping him that arms length. But Ben Simmons we heard
Speaker 1: about the one player earlier with the acrobatic dunk, and
Speaker 1: he also got into the mix in the pain again
Speaker 1: mirror Johnson with a runner off the glass wide the
Speaker 1: right no bit tracks down his old miss, keeps it
Speaker 1: away from Walker, goes to Simmons and Ben Simmons jams it.
Speaker 1: He got knocked out a bounds on the rebound as
Speaker 1: a mirror gathered it in out of bounds, comes back
Speaker 1: into play, establishes his feet inbound as a player who
Speaker 1: can catch the ball, and then an impressive reverse dunk
Speaker 1: for Ben Simmons, leading one o one ninety one after
Speaker 1: three frames of basketball in Charlotte. Joel embiid very quiet
Speaker 1: in the very beginnings of the basketball game, but he
Speaker 1: really got it going in the fourth quarter, very aggressive,
Speaker 1: very physical, and you have to think some of it
Speaker 1: is because of the play of Dwight Howard. Here is
Speaker 1: the big fella in the paint. Paul goes into the corner.
Speaker 1: Bell and Ni makes an unbelievable catch and the beach
Speaker 1: slams the ball, Marco Bell and Lli catching the ball
Speaker 1: while almost falling out about right in front of the
Speaker 1: Charlotte bench. One oh three ninety one after that score
Speaker 1: by your first time All Star, and Kimball Walker got
Speaker 1: his first made field goal of the game to make
Speaker 1: it one ten, one hundred four the Charlotte Hornets, but
Speaker 1: again the Philadelphia seventy sixers would not allow them to
Speaker 1: come back. You've had right following that, Kimball Walker made
Speaker 1: jumper Joel Ebad then made a short turnaround jump shot.
Speaker 1: Robert Covington again followed that up with one of his
Speaker 1: five three pointers on the night, Dario Charge with an
Speaker 1: impressive layup one twenty to one oh four, and again
Speaker 1: Joel and beat with the punctuation five minutes to go.
Speaker 1: Six is by fourteen sevens lobs the alum jab. That's
Speaker 1: our dunkin' donuts dunking the game, Joel. It beat rocks
Speaker 1: the state. It is still shaking here in North Carolina.
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons not to be shown up with a little
Speaker 1: bit of a flare of himself as he drove baseline,
Speaker 1: got a reverse dunk, made it one twenty four, one
Speaker 1: oh eight to Sixers come away with the victory one
Speaker 1: twenty eight, one fourteen in Charlotte over the Hornets improved
Speaker 1: to thirty five and twenty eight now on the season
Speaker 1: and again fifteen and eighteen on the road, as they
Speaker 1: have two more to go on the roast, with their
Speaker 1: next one being against the Miami Heat, who fell tonight
Speaker 1: in overtime one seventeen, one thirteen at the hands of
Speaker 1: the Washington Wizards tonight in Washington, So that means the
Speaker 1: Wizards remained one game up on the Philadelphia seventy Sixers.
Speaker 1: If the Wizards would have lost, the Sixes and Wizards
Speaker 1: would have been tied in the standings and the Miami
Speaker 1: Heat then would have been up a little bit more
Speaker 1: right now there in the eighth spot thirty four and
Speaker 1: thirty one after the loss tonight, so they will certainly
Speaker 1: be looking to pick up another victory after losing a
Speaker 1: tough one in overtime against Washington. Win The Sixers in
Speaker 1: Miami Heat last matched up, it was on February twenty
Speaker 1: seventh in Miami with a one two, one oh one
Speaker 1: down to the y victor. If you remember, Dwayne Wade
Speaker 1: hit a jumper with seconds to go in the contest,
Speaker 1: turning back the clock for the future Hall of fameer
Speaker 1: Dwayne Wade as he finished with a twenty seven point
Speaker 1: night for the winners in Miami the Miami Heat. So again,
Speaker 1: Sixers back at it on Thursday in Miami, seven thirties
Speaker 1: start as the seventy Sixes again continued their four game
Speaker 1: road trip, their third on this four game road stand.
Speaker 1: A lot of people to thank tonight, starting with again
Speaker 1: Tom mcguinnis in Charlotte, Tyler Zuli here back at the
Speaker 1: studio as well as Alan Yates. I'm Devine Gibbons, remember
Speaker 1: back on Thursday, seven thirty start in Miami against the
Speaker 1: Iami Heat. Coming up next on the Fanatic it will
Speaker 1: be myself and you six one sixty three two zero
Speaker 1: nine seventy five if you want to jump in and
Speaker 1: get ready to talk about this big impressive win one
Speaker 1: eight fourteen over the Charlotte Hornish. Thanks for tuning into
Speaker 1: the postgame show. Enjoy the rest of the year, night,
Speaker 1: and we will catch up with you here on the
Speaker 1: Sixers Radio Network on Thursday against the Heat. Following the
Speaker 1: Sixers win, Tom aguinnis had a chance to catch up
Speaker 1: with one of the players afterwards, and we're gonna be
Speaker 1: joined court side by I believe Dario Sharich. Dario's at you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's thank you for joining us. Tom mc ginnis from
Speaker 1: high above the court here in Charlotte, What a great
Speaker 1: effort by you guys. Boy, the three was really going.
Speaker 1: You made four, Cup had five, and that was a
Speaker 1: big difference in this game. Your thoughts, Uh, Yeah, it
Speaker 1: was like a pretty pretty pretty good game for us.
Speaker 1: You know, we got the we got money the first
Speaker 1: time and hit it. Two games. Drill got like social
Speaker 1: first golf, and you know, all we step for him
Speaker 1: for him and after that and he make he make
Speaker 1: his moves when he tried to play how he knows
Speaker 1: you know everything. It's easier and it's a team in
Speaker 1: and what you say, we got like good night too
Speaker 1: and we deserve it. Yes, you do eight threes for
Speaker 1: you over the last two games. What spent the difference
Speaker 1: of late from beyond the art for you? I don't know,
Speaker 1: Like maybe maybe because I wasn't vacation on Mexico because
Speaker 1: of that, I was sleeping. Maybe the first couple of
Speaker 1: games I got a bad percentage by now you know,
Speaker 1: the last two games, you know, I tried to walk
Speaker 1: on practice, you know, and tried to play good and
Speaker 1: I score some shots. Ben Simmons was incredible tonight. He
Speaker 1: was eight of nine from the field. He had that swagger,
Speaker 1: that confidence, the way he was dribbling, almost as if
Speaker 1: you could tell he felt like no horner could stop
Speaker 1: him from getting to the rim. Yeah, but like a
Speaker 1: Ben is the it's like maybe top five five drivers
Speaker 1: in the NBA, Like who can go downhill? He's amazing
