Speaker 2 (01:58):
We're here at the Center in Philly after a one
eighteen ninety five heat victory over the Sixers. Welcome in
to our postgame show, which is brought to you Byparks Casino.
Miami goes up three to nothing in what is a
four game season series against the Sixers this season. April
(02:19):
seventh in Miami, one of just three road games remaining
for the Sixers, one to eighteen ninety five loss. Hero
with thirty to lead all scorers on the Miami side
and lead all scorers in the game. Khalil Ware their
(02:41):
rookie center. They've been doing this two big lineup. He
had a game high fourteen rebounds with his thirteen points.
And it was Jared Butler, the Sixers point guard with
the most assists. He had a nineteen point ten assist
double double, his second career NBA double double. Matt Murphy
here with you. I'll be joined by Tom McGinness. We'll
hear from Nick Nurse after the loss. It's the front
(03:04):
end of a back to back for the Sixers, who
will host the Toronto Raptors tomorrow night at seven thirty,
and that will be the game that brings their back
to backs to an end for the season. It'll be
on the league average of fifteen back to backs. It'll
be their fifth. This is we're at halfway through their
fifth back to back of the month. Two months during
(03:27):
the season with five back to backs. The Sixers are
now twenty three and fifty one. The Heat are thirty
three and forty one. They had a big third quarter
thirty four to twenty two, and in the game they
made twenty three pointers, led by six for Alec Burks,
who had a season high twenty points. Four of those
(03:47):
six threes in that third quarter. The Sixers made thirteen threes,
four each for Justin Edwards and Jared Butler. Edwards only
missed two, Butler didn't miss any of his four tries
from three. And Tom McGinnis now with us, Tom, would
you say the turning point was at some point in
(04:09):
the third quarter?
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Which part, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
I would say when Burk's hit those threes, right, he had,
I thought he hit two in a row. High Smith
was in there, and they just kind of again Murphace,
you know, like it went from ten to five. That
happened a lot late first half, early third, and then
it got to twelve and then they just got to
(04:32):
fifteen and then I thought that was when they they
pulled away. So you know, like the Sixers, their margin
of error is so slim, and the game turned right there.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
The game in its totality a Den Bona and Rickey
council their energy for council, it was mostly the first
half for Bona, it was kind of threw out. He
tied his rookie career high with sixteen points. He also
had ten rebounds to complete a double double, three block shots.
What did you see from them in the energy department?
Speaker 4 (05:04):
Right? Well, first, Bona, like, I mean that was clearly
a play.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Drawn up to start the game.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
Yeah, he gets an al oop jam, and you know,
like he's a bright spot. He is proving that he
can be a backup big and you know, hopefully be
able to spell and be play eighteen or so minutes.
He's athletic, he's you know, he came in as a
as a shot blocker, and he's definitely proven that. He
hasn't proven that he can shoot like a face up
(05:32):
fourteen or so footer, right, but I thought he's even
simple things like handling the ball on the perimeter and
dribble handoffs. You got to be able to trust the guy.
You got to be able to so that he doesn't
screen in those instances. I mean, get called for a
legal screen and he's rebounded, well, well, he's guarded well.
I thought he's done well. And then like Ricky, you know,
(05:53):
as I said, sometimes yes and sometimes no. Well, tonight
was an emphatic yes, mostly in the first half. And
by that I mean there's some nights he's won for ten,
but there's other nights he's driving it. He's playing exceedingly well,
and tonight that's how he started the game.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
One eighteen ninety five, Miami gets the win. As we
wait on Nick Nurse post game, looking forward to hopefully
hearing what he has to say about a dem Bona
and the eight for nine shooting performance from him on
the efficient sixteen and ten game plus the block shots.
You gave your your independence, Blue cross Player the game
(06:31):
to Tyler Hero with thirty points. Did you think about
Berks or where tonight on?
Speaker 3 (06:35):
There?
Speaker 4 (06:35):
For sure? But Hero, he was like a man amongst
boys tonight. Right, he's playing at a different level. He
controlled the game for them, not just scoring, but he
had seven assists. Right, like, you know, like it was
he almost did it on purpose. Right. They came out
of the time out, they they changed one of his shots.
(06:56):
Not only wasn't it wasn't a three to it two,
it didn't count. And then he's like, all right, no
problem booming hit a thirty footer. Not that that's not
the reason he was better than everybody else, but that
just kind of showed you he could almost do what
he wanted out there. So he was really good, Like
I said, like it wasn't just an aspect, you know,
like those other guys, they they they played a role
(07:18):
in the game, but he dominated the game.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
What did you see from Marcus Bagley that prompted some
praise for for the way he plays a day?
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Doesn't he look like he's you know, these are these
are showcase opportunities for him, Like and again it's not
just for the Sixers, but you know, these guys are
playing for an opportunity for an NBA job for the future.
He just seems to be playing with a lot of energy.
I've never seen him play before, understandably so. And you know,
(07:49):
he was zero for three in the game, but he
was really that time he blocked two shots in a
row by Burke's in the corner that was right.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
In front of the Sixers bench locks. For Marcus, that
was awesome. He did make one. Wheeler was over three,
Badley was one for three. So Bagley picks up another
NBA basket. The plus minus column doesn't look great for him,
but he was kind of in there at the wrong time.
I guess if you could say back to back situation
(08:17):
with Toronto, now, who's had the Sixers number this year?
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Why has that been the case?
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Well, again, I think I'd have to go back and
that the game more recently up there, which was what
two or three weeks ago, it was.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
A bunch of guys taking advantage of the opportunity.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
Yeah, it was a bunch of young guys and they
just played with great energy and cohesiveness, and they were
all over the play. They kind of swarmed the Sixers.
That's what I remember about that game. And now, if
I go back the first game here, I thought Scottie
Barnes was in the game and he was pretty good.
So look, I mean it's hard to say on any
(08:54):
given night, but like like I said, like in general,
the Sixers, you know, they have to play nearly perfectly
to pull it off with this particular group, and tonight
it was a certain phase of the game. And that's
that's sort of the key. You can't play, you know,
you got to play close to a forty eight minute
game that you're really clicking and shooting wise and fifty
(09:17):
percent forty percent like from from the field in general
and from three thirteen three most nights is pretty good.
So I is coach Martin is coach there. Let's hear coach.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
Nick Nurse any anywhere.
Speaker 6 (09:34):
Near where we had hoped it would be when we
set out this summer in this fall, that's for sure.
And that's the only that's the only thing you can
you can say is it was you know, super struggle,
right just just you know, most of the way. I
(09:54):
think there was only a couple times of some momentum
right December, and then there was another I think four
or five game winning streak in there too, where you know,
you were kind of always holding out hope that that
the team was playing better and getting some wins and
hopefully get some some players back, and and said this
numerous times. It just didn't seem like the the injury.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
Bug would ever ever leave us.
Speaker 6 (10:20):
It just seemed it just seemed like every time we'd
have a good game that didn't get a win or
something that it cost us a player or two for
the next one, and we could never, never just really
build any momentum. So obviously super super disappointing, not where
we want to be at all.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
That's about it. Yeah, eight games less.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Why do you kind of like make sure you guys
are still like the working day focus down.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
Yeah, yeah, I mean I think that again.
Speaker 6 (10:52):
Uh, I don't think it changes anything that it's then
for the last you know, a few weeks. Still still
like really need to uh get you know guys, you
know playing I think I think again you look at
like like justin keep playing him heavy minutes and getting
him experienced.
Speaker 5 (11:12):
But when I keep playing him heavy, you know, like again,
you gotta you gotta at least develop and build some.
Speaker 6 (11:18):
Of these young guys right as much as as much
as you possibly can. Ricky Council, you know, keep more
looks at Lannie now that he's back, you know, keep
keep you know, seeing what you know Quentin's got.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
You know, the whole list needs to needs to kind of.
Speaker 6 (11:32):
Keep keep fighting and playing and and we just got
to keep keep trying to make them better.
Speaker 5 (11:37):
Yeah, Quintin, I believe.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
I believe the last back to back Quinton risted the
second half.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
Is there any idea of the.
Speaker 6 (11:44):
Same plan with I have not heard anything to that
effect yet, not yet.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
I know earlier in.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
The season when it came to a death, you said
one of things ine of the areas you want to see.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Him grow was was not going so high and and
so now like Pep there, who were has.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
It when you talk about the opportunity has here?
Speaker 1 (12:01):
How much do you think these kinds of minutes and
these situations can help him figure out how to steady the.
Speaker 5 (12:06):
High and the low.
Speaker 6 (12:08):
Well, it's it's it's it's important again, Like listen, he
had a little you know, I thought he was again
playing very well. Then he tweaks an ankle and misses
you know, a good chunk of time.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
So now he's back.
Speaker 6 (12:19):
I mean, I think they're still working on that and
rehabbing that a little bit.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
But hopefully, you know, he can he can you know,
be in all.
Speaker 6 (12:28):
The next you know, last eight games and we can
keep playing him thirty thirty plus minutes.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
I thought he was really really good tonight.
Speaker 6 (12:35):
I thought like, uh, it was really an impactful part
of the defense tonight because when he wasn't out there again,
the rim protection gets well, it's pretty non exist and
it makes it makes it tough because they start they
start getting to the rim and getting layups and dunks
and and then you got to send extra bodies and
(12:56):
they start getting open threes and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 5 (12:58):
So I thought he was really good tonight, and I
like it.
Speaker 6 (13:02):
Let's see if he can keep her going, stay healthy,
keep keep going for these last eight that a little.
Speaker 5 (13:08):
Bit Tim and jarrety to have good chemistry and pick
a roll of the Did you think that.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
That maybe you held Jared a little bit too having
that loud threat.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
Yeah for sure. Yeah, it's really important.
Speaker 6 (13:17):
We've said before to have some you know, some some
bounce and some speed on the rolls and and some.
Speaker 5 (13:22):
Thread at the rim. It's gonna it's gonna move. I
think it. I think it balanced itself out tonight. It
was one or two dunks.
Speaker 6 (13:31):
There was three or four shots for Jared because they
were worried about that, and then there was a few
you know, spray out weak side corner three, so they
were they were doing a pretty good job of that
for you know, multiple times.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Tonight Nick Nurse Parks Casino postgame show Miami Heat won eighteen,
Philadelphia seventy six Ers ninety five with Tom mcguinnis, I'm
Matt Murphy and what we caught at the beginning there
was sort of a reflection on the season because with
the loss, the Sixers are officially eliminated from playoff play
(14:07):
in contention here tonight they're twenty three and fifty one,
so we'll have playing of other opportunities to kind of
look back at the season in its hole.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
But that's kind of.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Where the coach was going with it there when we
first heard from him. That may have been part of
the question that he was asked to start.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
Yeah, the finality to that, right, it was certainly heading
that way. I don't think anybody was you know, didn't
feel like that's going but you're right, like this puts
a punctuation mark on it, and yeah, it's tough, right,
I mean, for everybody, for the organization, for the fans,
like the playoff, that's kind of the reward, you know,
(14:51):
especially when you have big aspirations, you know, you want
to get in there. The drama the intensity. It's just
the playoffs are unbelievable. And to not have that there
and not have that known as as an entity, you
know for the last several weeks has been tough. But overall,
you know, yeah, very difficult year. And you know, coach
(15:12):
is right. You go back and certainly when you know,
you get into December and it felt like you might
get some traction. And you know, the so called Big
three never really got to play, and when they did
start to play, they didn't finish games like you know,
as coach said, somebody would, Paul George would someone banged
(15:34):
into his knee or you know this that Joelle. So
it just never happened, right and so again and coach
Nurses described as in earlier instances about the same thing
like under the guys of shall we say what went wrong?
And that is you know, you don't get a million
(15:54):
shots at this right, Like it's same things. Is a
fan base, you know.
Speaker 5 (15:59):
Like.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
The seasons like this is a group the window shall
we say? Or it all it's not infinite, you know,
it's it's it's finite, like and so here goes one.
The twenty four to twenty five season is a season
that you know, we remembered for what didn't happen as
(16:21):
opposed to it being a special season because of what did.
And obviously injuries played a huge part of that.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
They've used a high a number in the high twenties
of total players this season. They've used now fifty different
starting lineups. They're twenty three and fifty one. Last time
the Sixers missed the playoffs was twenty seventeen when they
went twenty eight and fifty four, and they are out
(16:49):
of the playoff picture after this loss to the Miami Heat.
They will be back playing the Toronto Raptors tomorrow. We'll
have the same schedule for that one here at the Center,
so Tom, we'll run it back tomorrow night.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
All right, Well, good luck. It's about to get a
little loud in here. I would think there's a concert
about to take.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
We've got p D.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Krack and Nina Sky with the postgame concert coming up.
They've been setting up this whole time, and I do
agree with you that the volume is about to be
turned up on me as I take this over solo,
so we'll see what happens to stay tuned for that.
Good luck with that, Thanks Tom, Good Night one, eighteen
ninety five, the Heat over the Sixers, the final score
(17:33):
in Philly.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
We'll go through the box score.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
We'll also look around the NBA at that Brooklyn Nets
game in DC against the Wizards. We'll have audio highlights
too after a break, when we continue on with the
seventy six Ers postgame show presented by Parks Casino. The
Sixers and the Miami Heat. Tonight is in the books
from Philadelphia. The Heat win it one to eighteen ninety five.
(17:55):
This is the Park's Casino postgame show. I'm Matt Murphy.
We are moments away from the postgame concert featuring Nina
Sky and p. D.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Crack.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
We have our audio highlights coming up right now, and
we'll put a bow on things as well with a
look at the box score stat of the game, a
look around the NBA before we dive too deep into
that Brooklyn Washington game.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Later.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
The Nets did win one, fifteen, one, twelve in DC,
so that means they have a better record than the
Sixers now twenty four and fifty one. The Sixers are
twenty three and fifty one. And let's hear how tonight's
game sounded. Front end of a back to back for
(18:45):
the seventy six Ers. They'll host Toronto on Miami. Came
in winners of three straight, tenth in the East, and
up two to zero in the season series. Philadelphia would
be eliminated from playing contention with a loss, and Tom
and I talked about this. This is how the game started.
It was drawn up for Sixers rookie at den Bona
(19:06):
and his third NBA start alongside Justin Edwards, Gershanyabusele, Jared Butler,
and Quinton Grimes on a night where the Sixers were
without ten players, including two two ways Jeff Stouton Junior
and alex Reeese. Lonnie Walker, the fourth did return against
the Heat team that was without Andrew Wiggins and Kevin Love,
among others, but they look for a den Bona.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
He didn't waste any time after the jump off.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
Sixer is with yet another starting lineup, their fiftieth. Here's
a lot to Bona l youth jam Sixers on the board.
What a feat by Jared Butler up kick and roll
and a den Bona high end of the air with
a two hands stuff. What a play.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Fiftieth different starting lineup of the season for the Sixers.
Memphis has the NBA record of fifty one last season.
Bona tide rookie career high to night with sixteen points
on eight of nine shooting in twenty nine plus minutes.
He shot eight for nine from the floor, and he
added three block shots in the game that started that
(20:06):
way with the Sixers in white uniforms, the heat in
black with red. Quinton Grimes had double digits in the
first quarter alone. And on the right wing, it's Pella
Larson of Miami with the two close.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
Closeout edwards in council exchange. It not a Grimes quick release,
good in a foul on Larson. What a shot by
Quinton Grimes. He barely caught it and it was in
the air. And that's what coaches say. You gotta know
on the catch that you're gonna shoot it. Don't dilly
dally your round in. Grimes is that kind of player
(20:43):
On offense.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Twenty two to nineteen Miami with Tom mcguinnis on the
call as always, that would score would stay that way,
no four point play as Grimes missed the free throw
in the first quarter. Eleven of his fifteen points in
the game were scored in that first All three of
his threes in the first half as well thirty minutes
(21:08):
even in the game for Grimes to score fifteen. Eighteen
of those were played in the first half. End of
the first quarter Tyler Hero, who had a double figure
scoring quarter as well, the second chance and the final
points of the frame.
Speaker 4 (21:26):
The heat with the shot clock turned out, have the ball.
There's that man, Tyler Hero off a Khalil wear screen.
He's still driving rap round past to Mitchell for three.
No good Hero with a rebound. Oh man ouch, it
hurts so badly, it's up.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
And good Hero making it a thirty four to twenty
nine game after one. He went on to score game
high thirty points on eleven of seventeen, shooting five for
nine from three to three for three at the line,
with seven assists to go with the thirty points in
thirty three plus minutes for Miami. Both teams in the
(22:02):
first quarter shot eleven of twenty from the field and
six for eleven from three, both of them in the
thirty four to twenty nine game. Free throws were the
difference in the first quarter. Grimes that was his only
free throw of the game, zero for one. The team
was six for fourteen. The sixers forty three percent, trailing
by five after one into the second where Ricky Council,
(22:26):
the fourth of the sixers, scored seven of his twelve
first half points, including the first basket of the.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
Quarter Davian Mitchell won free throw. Here's Ricky Council with
a drive up and good, he's got seven. An explosive move.
Six you shooting fifty seven percent from the field thirty
five to thirty one.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Council had twelve of his thirteen teen points in that
first half twenty seven minutes off the bench, didn't make
any of his four to threes. Was five for twelve
from the field and three for four from the line.
Thirteen points, six rebounds, four assists for Ricky Council.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
The fourths.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Miami Heat rookie khalil Ware out did Council in that
second quarter by two points, with nine of his thirteen
points on the night, scored in the second quarter and
part of an eight to one closing run to the half.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
In the lag khalil Ware left hand jump hook and
that's good. He's five for five.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Stop.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
He just put in a left hand jump book and
made it look smooth. The other that kareem down there
it's fifty nine to fifty two the heat.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
With the lead thirty minutes and thirty two seconds for
khalil Ware, six for six from the field in the game,
one for one from three, didn't go to the line,
added fourteen rebounds to his thirteen points. That's one shy
in the rebounding department of his rookie career high where
and the heat fifty nine fifty two became sixty two
(23:57):
fifty three at halftime third quarter, and that was after
the Sixers in the late stages of the first half
got within two. Before that run mid third, Miami had
back to back threes to go up by ten. Quinton
Grimes and Jared Butler, though answered with a couple of
baskets out of a timeout seventy two to sixty nine
(24:20):
game and former sixer though Alec Burks, he was on
fire in the third. He was actually questionable coming into
the game lower back discomfort, but he looked good the
first of his his back to back threes.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
After that point in the.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
Third, Berks in the corner for three and that's it.
So Miami with Heismith getting five in a row and
then Berks counters with a three Alec Berks now five
field goals total, four of which are threes, fourteen points
and Miami back in front by nine.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Eighty seventy one. Burks with twelve of his season high
twenty in the third quarter, all on three pointers, so
he made four threes in the third. He would make
another to put them up eighty three seventy one after
the one we just heard. And speaking of threes, heat
big Man bam Adebayo was two to two tonight. He's
(25:17):
been extending that range this year and he had the
second to last three of the third for Miami.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
Miami has it back with a minute to go in
the third day fire for what could be an eighteen
point lead, and it's in. If it's not enough, bam
steps out and makes a three. The heat in front
of twenty thousand fans beginning to pull away. They're up
by eighteen.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
Points, ninety three seventy five, and then Burks beat the
buzzer with that four to three pointer for a ninety
six seventy five lead. After three, they outscored the six
Ers thirty four to twenty two in the third. Bam
Adebayo gold medalist with Team USA sixteen points seven rebounds,
five assists, those two threes on two tries, and coming
(26:02):
in he had never had averaged more than one three
pointer attempted per game in his first seven years in
the NBA. This year, he's averaging almost three tries a
game and shooting it thirty three percent. Miami ninety six,
Philadelphia seventy five through three, and the Heat go on
to win one eighteen ninety five for their thirty third
(26:24):
win of the year thirty three and forty one, dropping
the Sixers out of the playoffs. Out of playoff contention officially.
With the Sixers lost tonight twenty three and fifty one,
Jared Butler of Philadelphia did pick up his second career
(26:45):
NBA double double with ten of his nineteen points in
the second half ten assists, so nineteen points, ten assist
for Butler in almost thirty minutes. Justin Edwards scored twelve
of his seventeen points after halftime mentioned Bona had a
career high tying sixteen points with the ten rebounds, fifteen
(27:05):
for Grimes, thirteen for Council. Off the bench, Lonnie Walker,
the fourth ended up in double figures with ten in
twenty minutes and thirty two seconds during his return to
the lineup.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
The Sixers shot.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Fifty percent from the field, forty one percent from three,
and only forty three percent of the line six of fourteen,
whereas Miami behind thirty for Hero, twenty for Burkes, sixteen
for Adebayo, fourteen for Pella Larson, and that thirteen point
fourteen rebound double double for khalil Ware, plus Haywood high
(27:41):
Smith thirteen points off the bench. They shot forty seven
percent overall, forty six and a half from three. They
made twenty out of forty three threes and ten of
thirteen at the line, which is seventy seven percent. Third
quarter runs were ultimately the difference. Their largest lead was
(28:01):
twenty five. They win one eighteen ninety five. They turned
the Sixers over eighteen times. That's our stat of the game.
Could have been rebounds as well, out rebounding them forty
seven to thirty seven, but the last time they played
it was here in Philly.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
The Sixers only.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Had five turnovers and that's all they had on Wednesday,
last time out against Washington. That number increases by thirteen
for tonight's stat of the game. Back at it tomorrow
against Toronto, the Sixers are here at home. The Heater,
up three to zero in the series, will play in
Miami on April seventh. It was a one to fifteen
(28:36):
to one to twelve win for Brooklyn in DC tonight.
Tyrese Martin had twenty points, Jalen Wilson had twenty points.
Drew Timmy had nineteen for the Nets in a win
which gives them a better record than the Sixers twenty
four and fifty one. The Sixers are twenty three and
(28:56):
fifty one. The Raptors are ahead of both teams by
one spot twenty seven and forty seven. Toronto comes in
winners up three straight, just like the Heat did tonight
to extend that winning streak to four. That is the
Raptors team that the Sixers will see in twenty four
hours well less than that. Now Drew Timmy, it was
(29:18):
his second NBA game. The former Gonzaga star was having
a great season after an injury in the G League
last season. It's his second NBA game after a fifty
point G League game. Recently, he signed a two year
deal with Brooklyn, their NBA club, and he had nineteen
off the bench after a double double in his NBA debut,
(29:39):
so that's what Drew Timmy is up to since his
days with the Zags. He's now on this Brooklyn Nets team.
They didn't have Nick Claxton, DiAngelo Russell or Cam Thomas
who's been out Washington.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Still know Chris Middleton.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Marcus Smart did return after not playing here in Philly again.
Tyler Hero led all scorers tonight with thirty points. Jared
Butler led the Sixers with nineteen points and ten assists.
That'll be it for tonight's edition of the seventy six
(30:18):
Ers postgame Show presented by Parks Casino once more. The
final score Miami won eighteen, Philadelphia ninety five. Thanks to
our engineer Marty Dickerson, producers Matt Manaik and Sean Rodman,

Speaker 2 (01:58):
We're here at the Center in Philly after a one
eighteen ninety five heat victory over the Sixers. Welcome in
to our postgame show, which is brought to you Byparks Casino.
Miami goes up three to nothing in what is a
four game season series against the Sixers this season. April
(02:19):
seventh in Miami, one of just three road games remaining
for the Sixers, one to eighteen ninety five loss. Hero
with thirty to lead all scorers on the Miami side
and lead all scorers in the game. Khalil Ware their
(02:41):
rookie center. They've been doing this two big lineup. He
had a game high fourteen rebounds with his thirteen points.
And it was Jared Butler, the Sixers point guard with
the most assists. He had a nineteen point ten assist
double double, his second career NBA double double. Matt Murphy
here with you. I'll be joined by Tom McGinness. We'll
hear from Nick Nurse after the loss. It's the front
(03:04):
end of a back to back for the Sixers, who
will host the Toronto Raptors tomorrow night at seven thirty,
and that will be the game that brings their back
to backs to an end for the season. It'll be
on the league average of fifteen back to backs. It'll
be their fifth. This is we're at halfway through their
fifth back to back of the month. Two months during
(03:27):
the season with five back to backs. The Sixers are
now twenty three and fifty one. The Heat are thirty
three and forty one. They had a big third quarter
thirty four to twenty two, and in the game they
made twenty three pointers, led by six for Alec Burks,
who had a season high twenty points. Four of those
(03:47):
six threes in that third quarter. The Sixers made thirteen threes,
four each for Justin Edwards and Jared Butler. Edwards only
missed two, Butler didn't miss any of his four tries
from three. And Tom McGinnis now with us, Tom, would
you say the turning point was at some point in
(04:09):
the third quarter?
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Which part, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
I would say when Burk's hit those threes, right, he had,
I thought he hit two in a row. High Smith
was in there, and they just kind of again Murphace,
you know, like it went from ten to five. That
happened a lot late first half, early third, and then
it got to twelve and then they just got to
(04:32):
fifteen and then I thought that was when they they
pulled away. So you know, like the Sixers, their margin
of error is so slim, and the game turned right there.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
The game in its totality a Den Bona and Rickey
council their energy for council, it was mostly the first
half for Bona, it was kind of threw out. He
tied his rookie career high with sixteen points. He also
had ten rebounds to complete a double double, three block shots.
What did you see from them in the energy department?
Speaker 4 (05:04):
Right? Well, first, Bona, like, I mean that was clearly
a play.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Drawn up to start the game.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
Yeah, he gets an al oop jam, and you know,
like he's a bright spot. He is proving that he
can be a backup big and you know, hopefully be
able to spell and be play eighteen or so minutes.
He's athletic, he's you know, he came in as a
as a shot blocker, and he's definitely proven that. He
hasn't proven that he can shoot like a face up
(05:32):
fourteen or so footer, right, but I thought he's even
simple things like handling the ball on the perimeter and
dribble handoffs. You got to be able to trust the guy.
You got to be able to so that he doesn't
screen in those instances. I mean, get called for a
legal screen and he's rebounded, well, well, he's guarded well.
I thought he's done well. And then like Ricky, you know,
(05:53):
as I said, sometimes yes and sometimes no. Well, tonight
was an emphatic yes, mostly in the first half. And
by that I mean there's some nights he's won for ten,
but there's other nights he's driving it. He's playing exceedingly well,
and tonight that's how he started the game.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
One eighteen ninety five, Miami gets the win. As we
wait on Nick Nurse post game, looking forward to hopefully
hearing what he has to say about a dem Bona
and the eight for nine shooting performance from him on
the efficient sixteen and ten game plus the block shots.
You gave your your independence, Blue cross Player the game
(06:31):
to Tyler Hero with thirty points. Did you think about
Berks or where tonight on?
Speaker 3 (06:35):
There?
Speaker 4 (06:35):
For sure? But Hero, he was like a man amongst
boys tonight. Right, he's playing at a different level. He
controlled the game for them, not just scoring, but he
had seven assists. Right, like, you know, like it was
he almost did it on purpose. Right. They came out
of the time out, they they changed one of his shots.
(06:56):
Not only wasn't it wasn't a three to it two,
it didn't count. And then he's like, all right, no
problem booming hit a thirty footer. Not that that's not
the reason he was better than everybody else, but that
just kind of showed you he could almost do what
he wanted out there. So he was really good, Like
I said, like it wasn't just an aspect, you know,
like those other guys, they they they played a role
(07:18):
in the game, but he dominated the game.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
What did you see from Marcus Bagley that prompted some
praise for for the way he plays a day?
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Doesn't he look like he's you know, these are these
are showcase opportunities for him, Like and again it's not
just for the Sixers, but you know, these guys are
playing for an opportunity for an NBA job for the future.
He just seems to be playing with a lot of energy.
I've never seen him play before, understandably so. And you know,
(07:49):
he was zero for three in the game, but he
was really that time he blocked two shots in a
row by Burke's in the corner that was right.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
In front of the Sixers bench locks. For Marcus, that
was awesome. He did make one. Wheeler was over three,
Badley was one for three. So Bagley picks up another
NBA basket. The plus minus column doesn't look great for him,
but he was kind of in there at the wrong time.
I guess if you could say back to back situation
(08:17):
with Toronto, now, who's had the Sixers number this year?
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Why has that been the case?
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Well, again, I think I'd have to go back and
that the game more recently up there, which was what
two or three weeks ago, it was.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
A bunch of guys taking advantage of the opportunity.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
Yeah, it was a bunch of young guys and they
just played with great energy and cohesiveness, and they were
all over the play. They kind of swarmed the Sixers.
That's what I remember about that game. And now, if
I go back the first game here, I thought Scottie
Barnes was in the game and he was pretty good.
So look, I mean it's hard to say on any
(08:54):
given night, but like like I said, like in general,
the Sixers, you know, they have to play nearly perfectly
to pull it off with this particular group, and tonight
it was a certain phase of the game. And that's
that's sort of the key. You can't play, you know,
you got to play close to a forty eight minute
game that you're really clicking and shooting wise and fifty
(09:17):
percent forty percent like from from the field in general
and from three thirteen three most nights is pretty good.
So I is coach Martin is coach there. Let's hear coach.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
Nick Nurse any anywhere.
Speaker 6 (09:34):
Near where we had hoped it would be when we
set out this summer in this fall, that's for sure.
And that's the only that's the only thing you can
you can say is it was you know, super struggle,
right just just you know, most of the way. I
(09:54):
think there was only a couple times of some momentum
right December, and then there was another I think four
or five game winning streak in there too, where you know,
you were kind of always holding out hope that that
the team was playing better and getting some wins and
hopefully get some some players back, and and said this
numerous times. It just didn't seem like the the injury.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
Bug would ever ever leave us.
Speaker 6 (10:20):
It just seemed it just seemed like every time we'd
have a good game that didn't get a win or
something that it cost us a player or two for
the next one, and we could never, never just really
build any momentum. So obviously super super disappointing, not where
we want to be at all.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
That's about it. Yeah, eight games less.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Why do you kind of like make sure you guys
are still like the working day focus down.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
Yeah, yeah, I mean I think that again.
Speaker 6 (10:52):
Uh, I don't think it changes anything that it's then
for the last you know, a few weeks. Still still
like really need to uh get you know guys, you
know playing I think I think again you look at
like like justin keep playing him heavy minutes and getting
him experienced.
Speaker 5 (11:12):
But when I keep playing him heavy, you know, like again,
you gotta you gotta at least develop and build some.
Speaker 6 (11:18):
Of these young guys right as much as as much
as you possibly can. Ricky Council, you know, keep more
looks at Lannie now that he's back, you know, keep
keep you know, seeing what you know Quentin's got.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
You know, the whole list needs to needs to kind of.
Speaker 6 (11:32):
Keep keep fighting and playing and and we just got
to keep keep trying to make them better.
Speaker 5 (11:37):
Yeah, Quintin, I believe.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
I believe the last back to back Quinton risted the
second half.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
Is there any idea of the.
Speaker 6 (11:44):
Same plan with I have not heard anything to that
effect yet, not yet.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
I know earlier in.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
The season when it came to a death, you said
one of things ine of the areas you want to see.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Him grow was was not going so high and and
so now like Pep there, who were has.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
It when you talk about the opportunity has here?
Speaker 1 (12:01):
How much do you think these kinds of minutes and
these situations can help him figure out how to steady the.
Speaker 5 (12:06):
High and the low.
Speaker 6 (12:08):
Well, it's it's it's it's important again, Like listen, he
had a little you know, I thought he was again
playing very well. Then he tweaks an ankle and misses
you know, a good chunk of time.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
So now he's back.
Speaker 6 (12:19):
I mean, I think they're still working on that and
rehabbing that a little bit.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
But hopefully, you know, he can he can you know,
be in all.
Speaker 6 (12:28):
The next you know, last eight games and we can
keep playing him thirty thirty plus minutes.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
I thought he was really really good tonight.
Speaker 6 (12:35):
I thought like, uh, it was really an impactful part
of the defense tonight because when he wasn't out there again,
the rim protection gets well, it's pretty non exist and
it makes it makes it tough because they start they
start getting to the rim and getting layups and dunks
and and then you got to send extra bodies and
(12:56):
they start getting open threes and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 5 (12:58):
So I thought he was really good tonight, and I
like it.
Speaker 6 (13:02):
Let's see if he can keep her going, stay healthy,
keep keep going for these last eight that a little.
Speaker 5 (13:08):
Bit Tim and jarrety to have good chemistry and pick
a roll of the Did you think that.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
That maybe you held Jared a little bit too having
that loud threat.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
Yeah for sure. Yeah, it's really important.
Speaker 6 (13:17):
We've said before to have some you know, some some
bounce and some speed on the rolls and and some.
Speaker 5 (13:22):
Thread at the rim. It's gonna it's gonna move. I
think it. I think it balanced itself out tonight. It
was one or two dunks.
Speaker 6 (13:31):
There was three or four shots for Jared because they
were worried about that, and then there was a few
you know, spray out weak side corner three, so they
were they were doing a pretty good job of that
for you know, multiple times.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Tonight Nick Nurse Parks Casino postgame show Miami Heat won eighteen,
Philadelphia seventy six Ers ninety five with Tom mcguinnis, I'm
Matt Murphy and what we caught at the beginning there
was sort of a reflection on the season because with
the loss, the Sixers are officially eliminated from playoff play
(14:07):
in contention here tonight they're twenty three and fifty one,
so we'll have playing of other opportunities to kind of
look back at the season in its hole.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
But that's kind of.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Where the coach was going with it there when we
first heard from him. That may have been part of
the question that he was asked to start.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
Yeah, the finality to that, right, it was certainly heading
that way. I don't think anybody was you know, didn't
feel like that's going but you're right, like this puts
a punctuation mark on it, and yeah, it's tough, right,
I mean, for everybody, for the organization, for the fans,
like the playoff, that's kind of the reward, you know,
(14:51):
especially when you have big aspirations, you know, you want
to get in there. The drama the intensity. It's just
the playoffs are unbelievable. And to not have that there
and not have that known as as an entity, you
know for the last several weeks has been tough. But overall,
you know, yeah, very difficult year. And you know, coach
(15:12):
is right. You go back and certainly when you know,
you get into December and it felt like you might
get some traction. And you know, the so called Big
three never really got to play, and when they did
start to play, they didn't finish games like you know,
as coach said, somebody would, Paul George would someone banged
(15:34):
into his knee or you know this that Joelle. So
it just never happened, right and so again and coach
Nurses described as in earlier instances about the same thing
like under the guys of shall we say what went wrong?
And that is you know, you don't get a million
(15:54):
shots at this right, Like it's same things. Is a
fan base, you know.
Speaker 5 (15:59):
Like.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
The seasons like this is a group the window shall
we say? Or it all it's not infinite, you know,
it's it's it's finite, like and so here goes one.
The twenty four to twenty five season is a season
that you know, we remembered for what didn't happen as
(16:21):
opposed to it being a special season because of what did.
And obviously injuries played a huge part of that.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
They've used a high a number in the high twenties
of total players this season. They've used now fifty different
starting lineups. They're twenty three and fifty one. Last time
the Sixers missed the playoffs was twenty seventeen when they
went twenty eight and fifty four, and they are out
(16:49):
of the playoff picture after this loss to the Miami Heat.
They will be back playing the Toronto Raptors tomorrow. We'll
have the same schedule for that one here at the Center,
so Tom, we'll run it back tomorrow night.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
All right, Well, good luck. It's about to get a
little loud in here. I would think there's a concert
about to take.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
We've got p D.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Krack and Nina Sky with the postgame concert coming up.
They've been setting up this whole time, and I do
agree with you that the volume is about to be
turned up on me as I take this over solo,
so we'll see what happens to stay tuned for that.
Good luck with that, Thanks Tom, Good Night one, eighteen
ninety five, the Heat over the Sixers, the final score
(17:33):
in Philly.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
We'll go through the box score.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
We'll also look around the NBA at that Brooklyn Nets
game in DC against the Wizards. We'll have audio highlights
too after a break, when we continue on with the
seventy six Ers postgame show presented by Parks Casino. The
Sixers and the Miami Heat. Tonight is in the books
from Philadelphia. The Heat win it one to eighteen ninety five.
(17:55):
This is the Park's Casino postgame show. I'm Matt Murphy.
We are moments away from the postgame concert featuring Nina
Sky and p. D.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Crack.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
We have our audio highlights coming up right now, and
we'll put a bow on things as well with a
look at the box score stat of the game, a
look around the NBA before we dive too deep into
that Brooklyn Washington game.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Later.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
The Nets did win one, fifteen, one, twelve in DC,
so that means they have a better record than the
Sixers now twenty four and fifty one. The Sixers are
twenty three and fifty one. And let's hear how tonight's
game sounded. Front end of a back to back for
(18:45):
the seventy six Ers. They'll host Toronto on Miami. Came
in winners of three straight, tenth in the East, and
up two to zero in the season series. Philadelphia would
be eliminated from playing contention with a loss, and Tom
and I talked about this. This is how the game started.
It was drawn up for Sixers rookie at den Bona
(19:06):
and his third NBA start alongside Justin Edwards, Gershanyabusele, Jared Butler,
and Quinton Grimes on a night where the Sixers were
without ten players, including two two ways Jeff Stouton Junior
and alex Reeese. Lonnie Walker, the fourth did return against
the Heat team that was without Andrew Wiggins and Kevin Love,
among others, but they look for a den Bona.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
He didn't waste any time after the jump off.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
Sixer is with yet another starting lineup, their fiftieth. Here's
a lot to Bona l youth jam Sixers on the board.
What a feat by Jared Butler up kick and roll
and a den Bona high end of the air with
a two hands stuff. What a play.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Fiftieth different starting lineup of the season for the Sixers.
Memphis has the NBA record of fifty one last season.
Bona tide rookie career high to night with sixteen points
on eight of nine shooting in twenty nine plus minutes.
He shot eight for nine from the floor, and he
added three block shots in the game that started that
(20:06):
way with the Sixers in white uniforms, the heat in
black with red. Quinton Grimes had double digits in the
first quarter alone. And on the right wing, it's Pella
Larson of Miami with the two close.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
Closeout edwards in council exchange. It not a Grimes quick release,
good in a foul on Larson. What a shot by
Quinton Grimes. He barely caught it and it was in
the air. And that's what coaches say. You gotta know
on the catch that you're gonna shoot it. Don't dilly
dally your round in. Grimes is that kind of player
(20:43):
On offense.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Twenty two to nineteen Miami with Tom mcguinnis on the
call as always, that would score would stay that way,
no four point play as Grimes missed the free throw
in the first quarter. Eleven of his fifteen points in
the game were scored in that first All three of
his threes in the first half as well thirty minutes
(21:08):
even in the game for Grimes to score fifteen. Eighteen
of those were played in the first half. End of
the first quarter Tyler Hero, who had a double figure
scoring quarter as well, the second chance and the final
points of the frame.
Speaker 4 (21:26):
The heat with the shot clock turned out, have the ball.
There's that man, Tyler Hero off a Khalil wear screen.
He's still driving rap round past to Mitchell for three.
No good Hero with a rebound. Oh man ouch, it
hurts so badly, it's up.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
And good Hero making it a thirty four to twenty
nine game after one. He went on to score game
high thirty points on eleven of seventeen, shooting five for
nine from three to three for three at the line,
with seven assists to go with the thirty points in
thirty three plus minutes for Miami. Both teams in the
(22:02):
first quarter shot eleven of twenty from the field and
six for eleven from three, both of them in the
thirty four to twenty nine game. Free throws were the
difference in the first quarter. Grimes that was his only
free throw of the game, zero for one. The team
was six for fourteen. The sixers forty three percent, trailing
by five after one into the second where Ricky Council,
(22:26):
the fourth of the sixers, scored seven of his twelve
first half points, including the first basket of the.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
Quarter Davian Mitchell won free throw. Here's Ricky Council with
a drive up and good, he's got seven. An explosive move.
Six you shooting fifty seven percent from the field thirty
five to thirty one.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Council had twelve of his thirteen teen points in that
first half twenty seven minutes off the bench, didn't make
any of his four to threes. Was five for twelve
from the field and three for four from the line.
Thirteen points, six rebounds, four assists for Ricky Council.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
The fourths.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Miami Heat rookie khalil Ware out did Council in that
second quarter by two points, with nine of his thirteen
points on the night, scored in the second quarter and
part of an eight to one closing run to the half.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
In the lag khalil Ware left hand jump hook and
that's good. He's five for five.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Stop.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
He just put in a left hand jump book and
made it look smooth. The other that kareem down there
it's fifty nine to fifty two the heat.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
With the lead thirty minutes and thirty two seconds for
khalil Ware, six for six from the field in the game,
one for one from three, didn't go to the line,
added fourteen rebounds to his thirteen points. That's one shy
in the rebounding department of his rookie career high where
and the heat fifty nine fifty two became sixty two
(23:57):
fifty three at halftime third quarter, and that was after
the Sixers in the late stages of the first half
got within two. Before that run mid third, Miami had
back to back threes to go up by ten. Quinton
Grimes and Jared Butler, though answered with a couple of
baskets out of a timeout seventy two to sixty nine
(24:20):
game and former sixer though Alec Burks, he was on
fire in the third. He was actually questionable coming into
the game lower back discomfort, but he looked good the
first of his his back to back threes.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
After that point in the.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
Third, Berks in the corner for three and that's it.
So Miami with Heismith getting five in a row and
then Berks counters with a three Alec Berks now five
field goals total, four of which are threes, fourteen points
and Miami back in front by nine.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Eighty seventy one. Burks with twelve of his season high
twenty in the third quarter, all on three pointers, so
he made four threes in the third. He would make
another to put them up eighty three seventy one after
the one we just heard. And speaking of threes, heat
big Man bam Adebayo was two to two tonight. He's
(25:17):
been extending that range this year and he had the
second to last three of the third for Miami.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
Miami has it back with a minute to go in
the third day fire for what could be an eighteen
point lead, and it's in. If it's not enough, bam
steps out and makes a three. The heat in front
of twenty thousand fans beginning to pull away. They're up
by eighteen.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
Points, ninety three seventy five, and then Burks beat the
buzzer with that four to three pointer for a ninety
six seventy five lead. After three, they outscored the six
Ers thirty four to twenty two in the third. Bam
Adebayo gold medalist with Team USA sixteen points seven rebounds,
five assists, those two threes on two tries, and coming
(26:02):
in he had never had averaged more than one three
pointer attempted per game in his first seven years in
the NBA. This year, he's averaging almost three tries a
game and shooting it thirty three percent. Miami ninety six,
Philadelphia seventy five through three, and the Heat go on
to win one eighteen ninety five for their thirty third
(26:24):
win of the year thirty three and forty one, dropping
the Sixers out of the playoffs. Out of playoff contention officially.
With the Sixers lost tonight twenty three and fifty one,
Jared Butler of Philadelphia did pick up his second career
(26:45):
NBA double double with ten of his nineteen points in
the second half ten assists, so nineteen points, ten assist
for Butler in almost thirty minutes. Justin Edwards scored twelve
of his seventeen points after halftime mentioned Bona had a
career high tying sixteen points with the ten rebounds, fifteen
(27:05):
for Grimes, thirteen for Council. Off the bench, Lonnie Walker,
the fourth ended up in double figures with ten in
twenty minutes and thirty two seconds during his return to
the lineup.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
The Sixers shot.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Fifty percent from the field, forty one percent from three,
and only forty three percent of the line six of fourteen,
whereas Miami behind thirty for Hero, twenty for Burkes, sixteen
for Adebayo, fourteen for Pella Larson, and that thirteen point
fourteen rebound double double for khalil Ware, plus Haywood high
(27:41):
Smith thirteen points off the bench. They shot forty seven
percent overall, forty six and a half from three. They
made twenty out of forty three threes and ten of
thirteen at the line, which is seventy seven percent. Third
quarter runs were ultimately the difference. Their largest lead was
(28:01):
twenty five. They win one eighteen ninety five. They turned
the Sixers over eighteen times. That's our stat of the game.
Could have been rebounds as well, out rebounding them forty
seven to thirty seven, but the last time they played
it was here in Philly.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
The Sixers only.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Had five turnovers and that's all they had on Wednesday,
last time out against Washington. That number increases by thirteen
for tonight's stat of the game. Back at it tomorrow
against Toronto, the Sixers are here at home. The Heater,
up three to zero in the series, will play in
Miami on April seventh. It was a one to fifteen
(28:36):
to one to twelve win for Brooklyn in DC tonight.
Tyrese Martin had twenty points, Jalen Wilson had twenty points.
Drew Timmy had nineteen for the Nets in a win
which gives them a better record than the Sixers twenty
four and fifty one. The Sixers are twenty three and
(28:56):
fifty one. The Raptors are ahead of both teams by
one spot twenty seven and forty seven. Toronto comes in
winners up three straight, just like the Heat did tonight
to extend that winning streak to four. That is the
Raptors team that the Sixers will see in twenty four
hours well less than that. Now Drew Timmy, it was
(29:18):
his second NBA game. The former Gonzaga star was having
a great season after an injury in the G League
last season. It's his second NBA game after a fifty
point G League game. Recently, he signed a two year
deal with Brooklyn, their NBA club, and he had nineteen
off the bench after a double double in his NBA debut,
(29:39):
so that's what Drew Timmy is up to since his
days with the Zags. He's now on this Brooklyn Nets team.
They didn't have Nick Claxton, DiAngelo Russell or Cam Thomas
who's been out Washington.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Still know Chris Middleton.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Marcus Smart did return after not playing here in Philly again.
Tyler Hero led all scorers tonight with thirty points. Jared
Butler led the Sixers with nineteen points and ten assists.
That'll be it for tonight's edition of the seventy six
(30:18):
Ers postgame Show presented by Parks Casino once more. The
final score Miami won eighteen, Philadelphia ninety five. Thanks to
our engineer Marty Dickerson, producers Matt Manaik and Sean Rodman,
and of course Tom McGinnis on the call that game.
Tomorrow's another seven to thirty pm Eastern start, this time
(30:39):
against those Toronto Raptors. Our coverage here on the Sixers
Radio Network presented by Jackpot City Casino, will again begin
at seven to twenty Eastern. Until then, I'm Matt Murphy
saying so long from the center as we're played out
with the tunes of Nina Sky and pde Crack. Thanks

(31:00):
great weekend. Hope it continues. Have a great rest of
