Speaker 1

You're listening to rewind, they'll listen back on press conferences, highlights and analysis from the seventy sixers previous game back here in Indianapolis. Has dozens and dozens, if not hundreds of Sixers fans are on the court here at Bankers Life Field House, so it looks like it's the annual pilgrimage to see the Sixers on the road, and early on they were not disappointed, the Sixers showing great fight early in this game without two eleven bead but it was not to be in the end, as the Pacers

dominate and win one fifteen ninety seven. Welcome to our extended postgame coverage, Tom I get us here live at Baker's Life Field House, where a crowd of almost eighteen thousand, a sellout, looked on, and Indiana running its record to ten games over five hundred snap and a many two games kid with the win, they're twenty two and twelve ors. The Sixers have now lost three in a row and they're twenty three and thirteen. Sixers lose on the road

and Indiana wins here at home. Indiana now fifteen and three in Indianapolis, whereas the Sixers are sixteen at home at the Center in Philadelphia, but on the road not so much. Seven and three or seven at eleven. And they've lost three straight games, that game in Orlando Friday, the one point OT loss in Miami Saturday. And here in this blowout with the Pacers winning one, fifteen ninety seven. And I say that because Indiana are led by at

one point thirty six points. Let's get through our highlights. As I said early on the Sixers doing well. Ben Simmons goes inside for US. Simmons number twenty five for the Sixers, brings at the cost. Now he lobs it and he dumps it. He got it to Josh Richardson, and Richardson actually lobbed it up to Ben. So given go. Those two guys have figured prominently early on the Sixers down by one, and they would figure prominently scoring wise,

whereas they combined for thirty eight points. A little bit later, Josh Richardson in the basket for the Sixers, and the Sixers had taken an early lead in the game. Sofonis filight insteaded, Oh, it's picked up by Richardson. How to breakaway slam damn risky, foolish passed by Demonas Sabonis. He was on the deer wing trying to throw it all the way across the floor. Richardson de nine Lamb deflected it, ran it down and dunked it. So the Sixers it was a two point game after one Indiana twenty nine

and the Sixers twenty seven. The Sixers Tobias Harris getting inside and getting two of his points in the first half. James, and it's the third over to tray ber filing extended on the right side to Tobias against McDermott on the back down fadeaway baseline right. All of that to Bias Harris now with five, So Harris ended up only with nine points in the game. Then Norvelle Pell came in and has stated earlier Kyla Quinn started and to Brett

Bonn's point, he had good energy. Pell came into the game, had a great block on Demonus Sabonis. Then Sabonis got his return and his revenge as he scored it on this play right here, McConnell off at McConnell and the Sabonis Sabonis goes up. At this time Pete dunks it on Norbell Pell and he posed he's fired up and sews the call led by t J McConnell, so the

Pacers take a lead. The Sixers took a time out there, and I'll tell a guy who is silently one of the best all around players in the league, certainly scoring wise, t J Warren. In the first half he was nine for nine. Warren gets a basket and again this second quarter. Again I've stated this earlier, but fifteen to two, twenty four to five. Worn with this field goal put Indian up sixty three thirty seven. He was perfect from the

field in the first half. TJ. Warren out of NC State and ld ain't runner on all and good man, he's good. Well, he's worn it good, he's perfect, he's not missed. He's got nine shots and nine field goals. TJ. Warren with twenty one. So the Pacers led at halftime. By twenty four. It was sixty seven forty three. We go to the third Ben Simmons here with a basket down load on the run to Bias Harris. Pacers cut

down off. They go to Simmons. Ben Simmons on the right hand running bank shot good, so Simmons with eighteen to lead to Sixers. He's six of eleven. Good defensive played by a Quinn. Harris finds Ben and Simmons laya. But Indiana at that point was leading eighty seven fifty five and another pacer that had a silent but very effective game. In only twenty four minutes. Miles Turner had

fourteen points and five rebounds. Turner one of his two threes, one of his three three point field goals right here, Jeremy Lamb open line drive attempt, no good butt, he gets his own miss shake Milton in the game. Miles Turner from will beyond the arc for threes and that's good. Sixers try to hang tough. A little bit later, Tobias Harris getting a tip Trey Burke on a drive against McConnell, fakes back out, he throws it to a Quinn one he'll fire from wills outside and no good so but

tapped up it in by Tobias. So Harris with two seconds to go, scores it and now the third owner will come to a close. Harris snuck inside. I think everybody thought O'Quinn shot was a last second desperation shot. Tobias able to gather it in. Ironically, the Sixers scored like that at the end of the first, with pell scoring it, but still after three Indiana ninety six the Sixers sixty six the Sixers. In the fourth, the reserves outscored Indiana by twelve. A guy getting into three here,

furkon cork mins. Here's cork moons for three. Nice job by Netto O'Quinn and built getting into the furkon he of the lime green mango colored sneakers. I'm on that corner. Here's Tobias Harris in the seventy sixers locker room, addressing the media. This game went south. Where do you think tonight's game went south? Um? Oh, say, I think I went south just with you know, our defensive executions and then you know, we had a bunch of miss shots, turnovers and a lot of lock of f overall and around.

So yeah, hell, has the perimeter played a factor on the road? I know you guys have struggled from deep in the past three games, and I think we're you know, we're we've gotten open looks, um haven't been able to fall.

So yeah, I mean then, but the you know, a big thing about it is we haven't got enough stops, which is then limited in our transition offense, and then you know in the half court it's you know, obviously tonight it was tough for us to get anything, oh, Tobias Harris outside or inside these Sixers locker room, and speaking of that, only eight fast break points for the Sixers, and not just perimeter shooting. The Sixers only shoot forty percent in the game, twenty percent from three making six

to twenty nine. But as Brett Brown noted and Tobias there referencing that it was the defense where the Pacers were able to get by the Sixers and then get inside and dish that ball off on the likes of Warren and Sabonis. That dribble penetration really hurt the Sixers. So again, the final here one fifteen ninety seven or thanks to Pat Egan and Tyler Zuli, we'll come back with one segment and pass look ahead to the Houston Rockets game on Friday and the Sixers returning home for

the games against the Thunder and the Celtics. Al Horford moment earlier in the locker room saying the Sixers did not set enough of a tone on the defensive end as they fall here in Indianapolis again the final one

fifteen ninety seven the Pacers with the win. The Sixers had won three games in a row against Indiana, including two here in Indianapolis, but not now, and it's one one on the season series, and the Sixers will be back here on January thirteenth and then play host too Indiana later in the season on March fourteenth at the Center, so they still have an opportunity to win the season series. But a resounding victory for Indiana here today the Sixers

fall the twenty three and thirteen. They've dropped three games row for the third time this season. They moved to seven and eleven on the road, and for now the Pacers are tied with them for fifth in the Eastern Conference. The Sixers are returning home and then they'll go right back on the road on Friday as they take on the Houston Rockets. The Rockets are top the Southwest Division

with the record of twenty two and eleven. Their most recent game was on Sunday against the Pelicans and resounding fashion New Orleans one twenty seven the Rockets one twelve, but they are expected to have Westbrook and Hardened back a four then game at the Toyota Center of the Rockets are eleven and four on the year, and they've won seven of their last ten games and hardened, of course, rocketing up numbers that are just an historic pace for him and the Rockets and the Sixers will be on

the air at eight o'clock for that game, and then the Sixers return home. It's e Sports Night on Monday, when the Sixers take on the Oklahoma City Thunder after a hard loss out there in November. And then Thursday, the Sixers and the Celtics, Boston's final matchup in Philadelphia. That'll be Thursday Day night at the Center.
