This is seventy Sixers. Rewind time now to listen back to postgame reaction from the team's most recent game. Six is fall tonight in the Nation's Capital on the second night of a back to back one twenty three one oh six, Washington taking care of Philadelphia, dropping the seventy Sixers record to twenty seven and fifteen. Hello, all, this is the Sixers postgame show here on the Sixers Radio Network.
I'm Divine Gibbons with you as we get ready to check back in and just a short bit, hopefully with head coach Brett Brown, who is in fact ready right outside of the visiting locker room, and agy to start with, you knew what Washington was going to come out with. They I thought we played really well at home, their pride full team. They're a good team, and they got the better of us. I think in that first half, I think we turned the ball over far too much
and it was a disappointing performance. And know that you said before the game, defending the three obviously was on your mind, of the team's mind. What do you think happened there? I think they created stuff out of our turnovers, you know, to come in and have what did we end up with twenty four turnovers and them sort of take off and turn it into a track meet. It was difficult to defend it really was. It was the launching pad to a lot of our problems, our turnover base.
And I give them credit. They did make some shots, and we really didn't like even our stat line is very misleading. Head Firkon not sort of made what two or three threes at the end, you know, the stat line would have read what the game really was. It's misleading. And so the combination of you know, not being able to make some shots, the turnovers, you know, creating a lot of their offensive looks was too hard to overcome. Turnovers from Joe Allen, Ben, what are you seeing as
the cause of the majority of those? For whatever reason, we do not play well and back to back games, you know, you look at our record. Um, everybody can go different places and find reasons for that, but this is a fact, and I thought that, you know, there was a a I give Washington credit with some of their energy, but I also don't feel like we were
that sharp tonight. I really don't. Um, for whatever reason, you know, we weren't sharp tonight, and they exposed that part of disposition, and um, it resulted into, as I said, a lot of different things. One of them twenty four turnovers were flashes at various points in the second half. Did you ever feel like you guys were close, if you could just do certain things you're trying. I did. We We We've done this before. We have come back
from you know, significant margins late. You know, Brooklyn comes to my mind. Um, and you got Landry in the corner for three. I think it would have cut it to ten or eleven and missed it. Then Beal hit the shot, and I think it went up to either either thirteen or fourteen. But I felt like that was the game. I felt like we hung around, We hung around, you know, we just really couldn't get over the top
during that period that we're talking about. Two more guys that was six is head coach Brett Brown outside of the Capitol One Arena visiting locker room as his Philadelphia seventy six is falling defeat one twenty three one oh six to the Washington Wizzards on the second night of a back to back at home and home for these two teams and as head coach Brett Brown pointed out, for some reason, the seventy six is just do not really get up to play very well on that second night,
and you didn't have to travel very far, just going up ninety five a bit after playing at the Center last night tonight at the Capitol One Arena, but as he pointed out, they just seemed like there was sluggish time again has pointed it out as well, just seemed like not the same team that we saw last night at home, where yes, the Wizards were only up by five points in the first quarter twenty five to twenty at the end of the first frame, however, and the
second going up by ten and really never looking back in a few of the runs. You just heard Brian Seltzer of Sixers dot Com ask that very question to the head coach, Brett Brown, about the fact that they had a few runs it may have looked like some things would have turned around, but timely shot making by a shot maker for the Washington Wizards, Bradley Beale, and that would basically end the run for the seventy sixes as they try to bounce back into the game again.
Sixers fall one twenty three, one oh six at the hands of the Washington Wizards at Capitol One Arena on the second night of the back to back, dropping their record to twenty seven and fifteen. The Wizards improved the seventeen and twenty five Sixers back at it at home at the Center on Friday against the Atlanta Hawks. So when we take this quick break, we come right back.

Welcome back to the Sixes Postgame Show here on the Sixers Radio Network. I'm divine givens with you as the seventy Sixes fall one twenty three one oh six in Washington at the Capitol
One Arena to the Washington Wizards. As we rejoined back at the Capitol One Arena, Tom again, it's the radio voice in Tom. Unfortunately last night we saw a big time performance by the seventy Sixes last night. Unfortunately, heading back to Washington on that second night, as Brett Brown pointed out, not the result that they want it, and they have been struggling in these back to backs, no doubt. I'm having said all that, I'm still shocked by the result.
I thought, you know, certainly the Sixers would play better and possibly win this game. But Bradley Beale and Porter were too good. They got really good support from the likes of Jeff Green, Maheemi, Brian even their bench, you know, and the reason played well. So you know, like I said, you tip your hat to them. And for the Sixers, again, a high turnover game and you're just the points off. Turnover is the differential. There was not a great advantage
for Washington, but it certainly cost your team. I mean, that's twenty four opportunities where the Sixers didn't get a shot up and then again the live ball turnover where they come down and they get a good look in an odd bad situation. But bottom line and Bead was great for the Sixers and Bradley Beale was just as
good for them. Bradley Beale was fantastic with the thirty four points to lead Washington, as you pointed out, Joel and Beat with thirty five and a really good stretch for Washington Tom when Tom Brian did have that nice run against him, Beat not backing down saw him. Last night, we struggled a bit and head coach Scott Brooks did put Ian Meheemi in to have a little more time against Joel and Beat as a veteran player, but Thomas
Brian gave them a few good minutes. He did. He didn't score in the first half and then he had nine points in the third quarter and he beat him beat to the rim a couple of times. He's got a lot of bounce. You know, he's only in the
second year. He's hungry, and I thought he gave them some energy and in a larger sense too, but also in that same time frame, like the Sixers played well, but you know, when you're down double digits or fourteen, and you know, and they make any kind of run while they're blowing the game wide open again, and that's
what happened. Coach talked in his postgame availability about I believe it was twelve, and that's where when Shamon had a look, couldn't get it, and they come down and get a basket and then bank it's back up to fifteen. And that, basically, for all intensive purposes, is the game. So you know, if this is how it is for the Sixers in the second night at back to back, they're lucky that it's not you know, four or five years ago when they were playing nineteen twenty two back
to back games. That's a fourth year schedule. So it's something you have to play through. I mean, obviously it's it's not how it goes in the playoffs, but yeah, I mean to me too, you just have to back it up and show the maturity and the consistency of a top notch team. And the Sixers have played well, They've done better on the road. I thought it beat Simmons and Butler were both good here tonight and great last night. But you know, this is probably a team
you should have beat. It's difficult, certainly on the road. But here we go again with the home game against Atlanta. You go to New York and you get an opportunity
to get right back in the wind column. But you know, keep tracking as again we've turned the corner now toward the second half of the season, and this stretch prior to the All Star break is something that Brett Brown and the coaches put a big emphasis on Tom again his life from the Capitol One Arena site of the Sixers lost one twenty three, one of six to the Washington which in the time you just mentioned the trio of Simmons, Beat and Butler, and speaking of Butler specifically
second night returning again playing in the back to back since the injury, and it is good to see him getting back into form and the other two of the trio still having success. Something to look forward to. As you said, as we turned the corner to the second part of the season, Well, I agree, and I think they're all all stars. I really do. I think Ben Simmons is totally worthy and Jimmy Butler just you know, shows how effective he can be. Brett Brown was saying pregame.
You know, he plays the right way. He moves the ball, he finds the open man, he gets an edge. They've been clearing outsides for him. He did have several pick and rolls within beat. He's just an uncanny scorer. He's got a tremendous knack of using his body. As I was describing it, during the course of the game. He doesn't It's not like he's blowing by these defenders. He just gets a step or two. And he's just so good at finagling with his body and using the angles.
Oftentimes he's putting back his own Missus. He's a really good player, and now that we've seen him for the core of two months, you're really getting an idea of how he plays when you see him on a nightly basis and you get JJ back in the mix. I mean, things are tracking well. This was a bit of a step back for the Sixers, but you know, like I said, you want to play at a high level of consistency.
They've been among the top grouping in the East, and you know, big picture, Divana, it doesn't look like that's changing. You know, these five teams with Milwaukee and Toronto, Indiana Boston in the Sixers. It looks like the way the separation is in the Eastern Conference, those five teams are going to be there. It's just a matter of what the order is, and that I think is hugely important.
I mean, you don't want to be in a matchup with Boston in the opening round, right, I mean you get to at three spot and you play one of these other teams at six. I mean that's a big thing. And obviously that's a couple of months away, but all of these games have certainly matter. Like in any game, every possession matters. It doesn't come down to the final shot every time. But you know, so, like I said,
good things all told for the Sixers. A tough one here tonight, but you get to come home against Atlantic. Go on wrote against the Nixon hopefully get back into the winning waves. Well, Tom is always always great talking to you tonight, and we look forward to speaking and hearing with you on Friday live from the Center against
the Hawks. Thanks you safe, tripped back, Thanks so much, Tom Again us again live from Capitol One Arena with the seventy six is fell one twenty three, one oh six led by Joel and Beads thirty five points, fourteen rebounds for the big fellow tonight in thirty three minutes and forty nine seconds, eleven of seventeen from the floor
overall seven turnovers. The blemish on the stat line also contributed three block shots for the all star centered Ben Simmons and thirty four minutes and forty seven seconds seven to fifteen from the field for his fifteen points, contributing ten rebounds, eight assists, and again the blemish on the stat line seven turnovers. That's fourteen between your two star players, twenty four total for the team, so something that you will want them to clean up in the next game.
In going forward once again, Jimmy Butler with twenty three nine rebounds in thirty six minutes of action for con Chorkmise got hot towards the end, so, as Brett Brown pointed out in his post game availability, a little bit misleading in terms of the point total, but he did hit the shot, So maybe somewhere down the line that will come into play as a bonus for the seventy six is when they needed somewhere down in the clutch
for the team to hopefully get a win. Not much from the bench production tonight, as Landry Shammont went off for twenty nine points last night at the center against this very Wizards team, only five points tonight, two of seven from the floor, one or four from behind the
three point line. No Jj Reddick again for con chorkmis in his place, Landry Shammont still getting high number minutes twenty four minutes and eleven second same for TJ McConnell twenty four minutes and eighteen struggled from the field, one of five shooting five assists four TJ McConnell, and not much else from anyone off the bench for the Philadelphia seventy sixers as they again fell one twenty three, one oh six and opping their record to twenty seven and fifteen.
And very important, as Tom again has just pointed out, the top five teams in the Eastern Conference Raptors, Bucks, Celtics, Sixers, Pacers, all are going to be fighting for position in that in those top five spots. So games like this, you really want to see the seventy Sixers come away with the victory and not take that step back, minor step back, but not take that step back on the night when they face one of these teams again one twenty three one oh six to final score in Washington. On the
other side, we hear again from Tom again. It's this time the audio version of the calls from the game. It's the Sixers postgame show right here on the Sixers Radio Network.

Join the revolution today, Paul, It's time for some highlights from Tom McGinnis again here on the Sixers Radio Network, the postgame show. I'm divine givens again. Sixers fall tonight in Washington on the second night of a back to back one twenty three one oh six.
But let's get to the game caused by Tim McGinnis as the Washington Wizards win the quarter twenty five twenty and quind of a quiet corner, but overall Joelman bad who was fantastic tonight with thirty five points of nice dunk from Ben Simmons. Baseline jump shot by Simmons rimming out no good, he gets his own miss and no night fakes it. Now a Joe had a jam slap
dot by a bead. What a play by Simmons. Jumper didn't work, no problem, tracks down his own miss rap run inside of the pick fella and joella bead with a dunker basically two ball all fakes and then a wraparound a rounding the body of the defender who jumped in the air four and b to get the easy
dump that made a twenty one sixteen Washington. Yet again after one twenty five twenty the Wizards and Landry Shammon again not connecting much as much as he did last night at the center from behind the arc his only three of the night. Right here Simmons to Shammon Landry for three and good Shammon with his first strip of the game, good passed by Ben Simmons's fifth assists sixer's
cut at the forty three twenty six. Ben Simmons kept things going this side, this time offensively for himself, keeping it down the lane for a hefty flush, but Scott to Wilson bout the sexus, betch inside the ben and a jam, a slam by Ben Simmons, great feed by Wilson Chandler and Simmons dumps the ball. That cuts to the fourteenth. Starting to see a lot more Ben Simmons at the room, finishing strong as something we'd like to
see again. Forty eight thirty four Washington at that point Bradley Beale strong night for thirty four points thirteen of twenty one overall from the field. And we've talked about how well he shot from the three point line, but he also showed us some athleticism here on this play Washington with Satarronsky Peel and Bohemia out top and now a live but Bradley Biel tumpson, what a play Satarronsky up top and feel little trickery there is he fools for cock again, the Wizards up by ten and winning
that quarter by ten points. That made his sixty one forty two Washington at that point sixty three forty eight after two quarters, heading into halftime. Coming out of the halftime locker room, of course, four the seventy sixers getting things going right away it appeared the seventy sixers could get on a run, something that Brett Brown talked about. You get a little run, think things are gonna happen. And Ben Simmons starts things off right out of the
locker room, strong to the basket. And now Ben Simmons feels the ball. Ben out a drive going right and left. Simmons keeps it, goes down labat and Hammerson put a two half slap. He puts the park. On the opening start of the third quarter, Simmons right down the lane had his mind made up what he was gonna do. After the steal down lane. Everybody spread out filling the lanes on the outside just enough for him to make
a decision to take the ball himself. As the defense tried to figure things out, they made his sixty three to fifty. Washington again continue to go on a nice run at that point, eleven to ten, going back and forth with the scoring. Joel ing b with a three pointer from the top of the key for the big man. Here comes Pen Simmons with a fed back to Joel. Three balls shot here by a B that's good. A trumble from the top by the freakbar Shocho for three.
It's a fourteen point game bet with his seventh assist, seventy four sixty Wizards at that point. Ninety two seventy six to score at the end of three quarters for a concork Mose. While he had a nice run at the end of the quarter, he had a big three after a joeling b block, Green turns he's guided by McConnell. He will start to back here come twelve and it bad knocks it away. Sixers out the run, three out two at b to McConnell, tj into Lament Butler outside
of cork Bos for three. God it fur Co. Cork Mos makes his first three of the game. It Bead making the defensive play. Brett Brown leaning over clapping toward the Sixers as they get back down sixteen. Great sequence by your all star center again getting the block leading to a fast brig opportunity for the seventy sixers for con Corkms knocking it down from behind the arc one hundred and eighty four at that point. But the Sixers simply did not have enough tonight. For the Washington Wizards,
it was different last night. He at the center, but things turned around at the Capitol One Arena, and this guy right here, Bradley Beale, was a major part of that. Satronsky setting up Bale and Bill has made another three. He started the game red hot, and he is finishing
the game. Bradley Beale, our halftime guest here tonight, thirty four points, his final three pointer, final basket of the game, totally thirty four points overall in the evening as Tom again has just pointed out six of eleven from deep, thirteen of twenty one from the field, thirty seven of twenty one for the All Star guard Bradley Beale as the Washington Wizards defeat the Philadelphia seventy Sixers one twenty three, one oh six on the second night of the back
to back. Again, the seventy Sixers sloppy with the basketball tonight, twenty four turnovers not leading to a lot of points. Nineteen points off the turnovers for Washington and the nineteen turnovers for the Washington Wizards. The Sixers were able to collect eighteen points off those, so basically off set, but the amount of three pointers made tonight thirteen of twenty seven for Washington, eight of twenty seven for the Philadelphia
seventy Sixers played apart in it. While the seventy Sixers did get to the free throw line ten more times than Washington and converting a nice amount overall by collecting connecting on eight more free throws day in the Washington Wizard, the Wizards didn't make ten more field goals raw than the seventy six Ers fifty four percent from the field to the seventy six or forty three, So a lot going on there tonight as the seventy Sixers simply just did not have it, could not turn things around to
get the win tonight in Washington and completing the sweep in the back to back the final time these two teams have met. This is now the Nice Street defeat in Washington for the seventy six Ers, so you won't see them anymore unless it's in the postseason, so it's nice to just get them out of the way now again. Six Ers fall one twenty three, one oh six, led by Jewel and Bs thirty five points and fourteen rebounds
for your All Star Senator. The team is back on the floor at home at the Center on Friday as they host former Sixer coach Lloyd Pierce in the Atlanta Hawks again, Thanks so much to everybody here back at the studio, starting with Carlin Namoli engineering the entire game and the pre and postgame coverage, Dylan McKinnon again with the great audio highlights, Tom McGinnis for the game call,
