This is seventy Sixers. Rewind time now to listen back to postgame reaction from the team's most recent game, Sixers beat the Kings. Here's Brett Brown outside of Acawo. That is how we sub. That is what I'm looking at, um, and it's it's driven by a lot of different factors, you know, some gut feel, some analytics, certainly pairings with shooters, and how do we feature as an example, you know, Jimmy Moore and that pairing UM and let him do
some more things with the ball. So that that that type of thought process went into how we sub tonight. I thought, I agree. I thought if it was one of his best games, he was a bell ringer tonight, we will not and I'll say not even close. We will not be as good as we can be without him playing like he plays and like he played tonight. And you know, I'm the coach. I got to figure
out the best way to do this. Some of it's what you just said with substitutions and rotations, some of it's his teammates recognizing some of it's on him, and somewhere in the middle, you know, if we can all meet. He's just incredibly gifted. He really is so athletic that he can make plays through that sort of physical presence in skill package. And we need him. We need him. That's the bottom line for the game. We mentioned that, you know, Ben's adapting period hasn't have to be much
because he controls the ball so much. So are you hoping that you can get maybe Jimmy in similar situations so that he can find his spots more easily, maybe control temple a little bit more. I think that's fair, Sarah Um. It's a it's we we've talked before about the environment that I feel like I can most do it. It's after free throws. It's underneath out of bounds, it's on side out of bounds, it's coming out of timeouts.
It's something that's really slow, but you know, the game chugs along and you want to let the thing move and share and play and so on. Somewhere in those static type moments, those static type environments is the place that I hope to be able to, you know, give Jimmy the ball. You have these conversations, what can I
do to help you more? What can we do? I mean, it's it's at a stage where for I'm sure him and me that we've had lots of previous discussions to learn about different things, and and I have heard him, and he has heard me. And we're trying to get this right. And there are lots of capable people on our team. And what I have said be four and I'll say it again when it gets down to ninety two ninety two, six minutes left in a game. You know, he's going to be an integral part of what we
do and what I'm thinking. And so we hope to continue to try to grow what you saw tonight each other. Offense, I think, Sharon, you know what, do we have ten turnovers? We didn't really turn it over that much. UM. I like it when when we play with some level of pace and the ball moves and things are a little bit unpredictable, you know, to just walk it up and call a play that I don't feel feel that that's how you really win. Um. I don't feel like that's how you really win. And so I think we had
twenty eight assists, you know, ten turnovers. That's that's not too bad. And to your point, when you look down and you see, you know, Jimmy with fourteen shots to bias sixteen, Joel with nineteen, JJ would twelve, Ben would twelve. That's pretty good distribution. That's pretty good sharing. And I think that when you look down at the bench, you
know you see James Ennis. I'm really happy with what I'm seeing in him defensively, and really he's known more for being sort of a corner shooter, but I really like his energy and his toughness that he's shown over the past few games. That Sixers coach Brett Brown and wins his hundred and seventy first game as a Sixers coach. He's speaking lastly about James Ennis, who played nineteen minutes
had two points in the game. Jimmy Butler with twenty two points, seven assistant, six rebounds plus two steals in a block. He went eight of fourteen, six of seven for nine. He played thirty five minutes. He was our
Independence Blue Class Player of the game. And as Brett Brown talked about, he was the bell ringer, which is in the six years locker room pretty neat tradition, and that basically is the most valuable player from the coaches and players perspective, if in the locker room is the Sixers beat the Kings one twenty three to one fourteen. Tom again us back here at the center of sellout crowd twenty thousand, seven hundred and four on hand here tonight.
The Sixers led by four after one, both teams at twenty nine points in the second quarters, so the Sixers were in front by that same four point margin at intermission sixty two to fifty eight. Then they begin to pull away a little bit. They outscored the Kings by six in the third quarter, and the Sixers led ninety nine eighty nine at the end of three quarters of play, and they hold on to win one twenty three to one fourteen.

Back here at the center. Tom McGinnis with our post game coverage is Sixers defeat Sacramento one, twenty three to one, fourteen three straight wins for the Sixers. They're forty fourth victory on the ear and they snap a three game losing streak
to the Sacramento Kings. Let's get through our highlights. Two elven Beat hit a big game for the Sixers. Twenty one point, seventeen rebounds, three assists, and four blocks. He gets points and a rebound on this put back jamp early in the game. Here's a nice beat to Harris, but he goes back to the corner, shoots and come there around it up beat with a rebound slam point. Beat's got a spring tonight. He just looks really superb. Great timy, perfect execution, two hands slam on they put
back and it's nineteen to ten. It would be the Sixers thirty three Sacramento twenty nine. After one the King's young fours off the bench, Giles and Bagley both very effective. They got the Kings into a tie with the Sixers, as Marvin Bagley the third with a field goal. Here Yogi Ferrell out top, guarded by McConnell. Bagley with it, bo bonds back on. Here's Bagley with a long two and that's good. That ties the game at thirty seven.
Bagley at fifteen, five field goals, five free throws, real smooth. The second game back after missing five with a knee injury, and it was a tie game. There actually were eight ties in the game. Jimmy Butler, though, puts the Sixers back on top. He finished with twenty two points. And here's Jimmy Butler. Here's a drive five Butler through everybody, twists up with reverse and in wow, how's he do that?
Jimmy Butler incredible drive from the right wing through the lane, left reverse and scores it with a multitude of Kings players there. Butler went eight fourteen and thirty five minutes, seven assists and six rebounds, plus a block and two steal. Sixers led it to half by four sixty two fifty eight. Buddy heal ties the game at sixty six. But he'll not really as potent as he was, particularly out in Sacramento when the Kings beat the Sixers. He had thirty
four in that game to ninety had fourteen. Here they'll healed one of his two threes. Bunny healed with it. It's the second time that lead a Consimmonson but unable to connect, held out a transition up and good look out Bunny Ball starting to heat up his second trade. It's a tie game. So the Sixers and the Kings were even at sixty six. The Sixers would get another nice play later in the third quarters to Bias Harris with a jam. Harris had five points at halftime. He
finished with nineteen. Here's to Bias Harris with a jam. Harris has the ball, Harris looking for Marianovitch. Marianovitch gets it back to Harris and a slam. They returned to favor timeout Acameno, Marianovic to the bias Harris and Harris now with a strong third quarter thirteen points. There's no doubt a great connection between Harris and Marianovitch. Sixers led
by ten after three. It was ninety nine eighty nine again a sellout crowd, one of the great crowds of the year twenty thousand, seven hundred and four on hand, the Sixers have sold out every single game this year. We go to the fourth quarter. Yogi Farrell was their big point guard off the bench. He played nineteen minutes. He had seven points, and Farrell with a corner shot to pull the Kings within three early in the fourth back out to Ennis for three. Ruby nowt no rebound Sacramento.
Prewer pushes forward right to left to the quarner. Farrell Yogi for three gotten and the Sixers lead is three. So the Sixers would take time out, button Joel and be with multiple big time plays both defensively and offensively.
And that's really been that's one of the things that screened together during this homestand as he did it against Indiana in the fourth quarter and in the second half on Sunday, did it late against the Cavaliers here on Tuesday, and he holds down the ford here in the late stages against Sacramento, and Beat puts the Sixers up seven with this basket here and Beat against Carli Stie between the leggs, pot the back down, face fires at it
and Beat comes back with two great plays. He's doing it again time out Sacramento, and he raises his hands in the crowd and they risk fog with a cacophonous roar. So it'd be with that field goal, and that came on an offensive sequence just after he took almost a similarly placed shot in other words, on the same floor spot on the floor and ended up missing everything. But he comes back with a feathery jump shot there. The Sixers would add two more points and they win the
game one twenty three to one fourteen. So they're now forty four and twenty five, a high watermark for them in terms of their record, nineteen games over five hundred. They've won three games in a row. They're twenty eight and nine at home for the Kings, their third straight loss. They had a tough game lost in last night in Boston where they led big but let it slip away. Now they're thirty three and thirty five, and it was a one one season series between the Sixers and the
king So now the Sixers go on the road. They'll take on Milwaukee on Sunday live at the five SERF
format three to thirty. The game will be broadcast on six ABC locally and we'll have the call right here on the radio, and then the Sixers will go out to Charlotte and finish up the season series with the Hornets Tuesday at seven, and then they come back on Wednesday and take on Boston in the fourth and final match up with the Seas on the ear and then it's right back out onto the road in Milwaukee tonight. They've trailed the entire game. They're within seven though in
the third quarter. They're in Miami, and again the Bucks have been the top seed in the Eastern Conference all season long. The Sixers with the Wind go back into a tie with Indiana, butt because they hold the tiebreaker, they're now the third seed for now in the East.
