00:00here on 2k sports. Welcome everyone. Kevin Harlan here and I'm joined by Greg Anthony and Clark
00:05Kellogg with David Aldridge on our sideline. DA take it away. Thank you Kevin. Tyrese Maxey is able
00:12to play either guard spot. He says it's just basketball IQ and feel of the game. I pride
00:19myself on being a basketball player and being able to do both. I know when James is not in the game
00:24I'll have the ball in my hands and have to create for myself and for others. Kevin? Nice to have that
00:30versatility isn't it David? Thank you. It's a battle of the bigs to fantastic centers Clark in this matchup
00:38tonight. Some throwback basketball. Well you know there was a time Kevin when centers dominated the
00:44league and as you said tonight we're gonna throw it back to those days. Now a look at Philadelphia's
00:52starting lineup. On the block it's Tucker next to Embiid. Harden out there with Maxey
00:57and it's Harris in at the 3 slot. And for Brooklyn we've got Johnson and it's Bridges in at the 2.
01:06Going inside and it's slammed in by Bridges. Goodness. McHale Bridges. Thundering slam off the bounce.
01:14And Bede with the screen on Dinwiddie.
01:20Here's Harden. Rebounded by the Nets.
01:27Now Dinwiddie.
01:35Johnson outside. It's up a 3. That one falls. Coming off Dinwiddie's feet.
01:40And he likes to get in a rhythm early. Nice triple.
01:47Harden against Dinwiddie.
01:50Harden the pass to Tucker.
01:52He's looking for Embiid and finds him.
01:55Comes up empty down low.
01:58We've seen a quick start here for the Nets.
02:01It's a 5 point game.
02:03When Joel Embiid entered the NBA
02:05many questioned if he would be able to overcome
02:08the devastating injury.
02:10Well you know he didn't play his first 2 years in the league.
02:12Those questions were fair to ask.
02:14I mean is this guy ever going to get on the court?
02:16But once he did?
02:18Oh my. A monster.
02:21I've not seen a big guy do the stuff
02:23Joel Embiid can do.
02:24It's actually insane.
02:26Now here is Harris.
02:28Up the back. Controls the rebound.
02:30And puts it back up and in.
02:32Outstanding work by Harris
02:33to get his hands dirty on that offensive glass.
02:36Now the pass to Finney Smith.
02:42Off target from 3 point rate.
02:4576ers have gone just 1 or 4
02:46to get this game started.
02:50Outside.
02:51Matty.
02:53Cast to Embiid.
02:575 to shoot.
02:58Harden outside.
03:00Fires for 3.
03:02It's hauled in by Claxton.
03:03And Brooklyn's gone.
03:04What a 2 from long runs in the first quarter.
03:07Dinley.
03:07Then to Claxton.
03:09I mean maybe he could have tried
03:10for a more memorable dunk than that.
03:12And we know he's capable of those memorable ones.
03:15Hey they've got a nice comfortable lead here fellas.
03:17Might as well keep it simple.
03:18Do it a plain simple one-hander.
03:20Just like Poundgate.
03:22Here's Embiid.
03:23Hook it with the rebound.
03:25Boy he knows he should have knocked that one down.
03:27Especially with the defense.
03:28Not giving much of an F.
03:31Pass to Bridges.
03:32Here's Claxton.
03:36Guarded by Embiid.
03:38Kicks it out to Johnson.
03:39For the 3.
03:41He can't get it to go.
03:42Now the 76ers take it the other way.
03:45And Harden wide open.
03:46He shoots.
03:47Trains it from beyond the arc.
03:48This is why you've got to be in Harden's jersey.
03:49I mean if you lay off of him for a second
03:50he burns you with that quick shot.
03:53Purches a spreen on Harden.
03:56Pin with the bucket.
03:57I tell you what.
03:58It's almost like stealing
03:59to watch how he plays the game from this scene.
04:01And it's matching with the ball
04:02for the Philadelphia 76ers.
04:04Trailing by Ford.
04:07Harden outside.
04:12It's hauled in by Claxton.
04:14For Brooklyn.
04:15They've gone 4-7 from the field.
04:16Shooting over 50%.
04:18And for the Nets.
04:18It's been a whirlwind last couple years.
04:20And before you knew it,
04:23it fell apart.
04:24But this franchise has been back from the ashes before.
04:27So don't write off that front office just yet.
04:29This is his first free throw of the game.
04:31And going back to his numbers from just a season ago,
04:34he was knocking it down at a 77% clip.
04:36The free throw drops for Dimit.
04:45A big group substitution here for Brooklyn.
04:47And Simmons,
04:47he's checked in for Nicholas Claxton.
04:49O'Neal comes in for Dorian Finney-Smith.
04:51Harris is checked in for Johnson.
04:53And Thomas subbed in for Bridges.
04:54That one falls,
05:04so it's both of them.
05:04And some added toughness on the roster.
05:06Something Philly knew they needed
05:08after last year's playoffs.
05:10The hope is adding scrappy veterans
05:11like P.J. Tucker and Anthony Melton
05:13will help them further this event.
05:16Now, here's Melton.
05:20Shoots from 12.
05:21Brooklyn with the rebound.
05:22There wasn't much defensive resistance there, guys,
05:24but somehow he blew it anyway.
05:26It's an opportunity.
05:27The jump hook out of bounds.
05:29Philadelphia takes possession.
05:30Curry's checked in for Brooklyn.
05:32The 76ers trail by six.
05:43136 left to play in the first quarter.
05:46Here's Harrell.
05:47Simmons with a defensive effort.
05:49Brooklyn's gone.
05:501-3 from beyond the arc so far in the game.
05:522-3 from beyond the arc so far in the game.
05:56Solid play in the low pocket.
05:57That one's good.
05:58That's exactly what they like to see from Simmons.
06:00Not taking the sideways or neutral approach.
06:02Instead, hey, let's go through that contact.
06:04Now here's Harrell.
06:06No points in the game for him.
06:07Here's Melton.
06:09Nobody in the middle.
06:10Another miss by Philadelphia.
06:11Total breakdown from the defense there.
06:13I mean, he'll usually take advantage
06:14when that's the game.
06:16Harris kicks to Kirk.
06:18Harris setting the pick for Kirk.
06:20Out to Harris.
06:21It's stolen by Milton.
06:24There's McDaniels.
06:26Misses and the triscoe continues.
06:28Purple and lead by eight.
06:3230 seconds left to play in the first quarter.
06:34Curry outside.
06:36The shot.
06:36No good.
06:37Now the 76ers take it the other way.
06:41Milton with it.
06:42O'Neal's there.
06:43Passes it to Milton.
06:44On deep.
06:48O'Neal to rebound.
06:52In the corner, Harris.
06:54And the last shot of the buzzer doesn't go in for him.
06:56And that does it for the first quarter.
06:58Nets lead by eight.
06:59And the second quarter will be on the way
07:00when we come back.
07:01And if you're just joining us,
07:15we've played through one quarter in this one.
07:17And let's take a moment, guys,
07:18to get your take on the scoring so far for the Nets.
07:21Everything working for them inside so far, guys.
07:22Tons of high-quality shots
07:24that they're knocking down inside.
07:26And another thing the coach will be thrilled with,
07:28the assist numbers.
07:28Spreading the weld and creating some offensive opportunities.
07:33The 76ers trail by eight.
07:36Thomas is out there with O'Neal.
07:37And it's Curry.
07:38And it's Bridges.
07:39And it's Clapsden in the center position.
07:41That's the Nets five as we get into the second quarter.
07:43That's a surprise.
07:44I mean, really out of character for him to miss
07:46when the defense is not right up on him.
07:50Curry on the wing.
07:53Bridges outside.
07:54Chance there to push it a couple digits,
07:58but it's off the mark.
08:01Natsy with it.
08:02Still looking for his first bucket in this one.
08:06There's Embiid.
08:07And it's good off the back.
08:08Rayman in.
08:09You know, Embiid does most of his work inside,
08:11but he's pretty comfortable in the mid-range, too.
08:13And there aren't many players
08:14with a quicker first step than Tyrese Maxson.
08:16And I love the way he uses it to his advantage, Greg.
08:18I mean, he's got an athletic advantage
08:20over most of the guys that are defending him.
08:22And he'll exploit it every chance he gets.
08:23But that quick first step
08:24and fearlessness, lethal combination.
08:27Now here's Harris.
08:29Eight feet away.
08:31A rebound by the Nets.
08:33Claxton's got four rebounds now tonight.
08:37Maxey against Curry.
08:38Kicks to Tops.
08:41And here is Curry.
08:43To the paint.
08:44Here's Claxton.
08:45Good.
08:45And Curry gets the assist.
08:47Claxton's got his second best.
08:48A precision passer.
08:49Curry also excellent at seeing his guys
08:51when they're open.
08:53They've been looking out of sync offensively.
08:55Yeah, their offense has wound to a standstill.
08:57Harden dishes to Tucker.
09:01Harden outside.
09:08The shot that time.
09:09Out on target.
09:10Well, that's no other way with it.
09:11With a short break in the action,
09:12gives us a chance now to send it over to David Aldery.
09:16Thank you, guys.
09:16Now, Tobias Harris has been the leading scorer on teams in the NBA,
09:20but on the Sixers, he understands his goal is different.
09:22He says, I'm not a guy who's going to press for looks.
09:24The ball's going to flow how it flows,
09:26and I just got to be ready when the opportunity comes my way.
09:28That's what winning basketball is all about.
09:31Kevin.
09:31David, thank you.
09:32Brooklyn, lead by eight.
09:35Bridges.
09:35Passes to Kirk.
09:36Here in the sixth quarter, about three minutes played.
09:49Good D by Embiid.
09:50The seven Sixers trail by eight.
09:54Passes to Tucker.
09:55Dishes it to Harden.
09:5776ers moving the ball around.
09:58Out to Harris.
09:59That's it go from deep.
10:00It's hauled in by Clackton.
10:02Clackton's got six rebounds in the game.
10:05Curry passed to Bridges.
10:09Curry against Harden.
10:10The trade.
10:12It's hauled in by Harris.
10:13Harris got four rebounds now tonight.
10:15And last season, the Nets were a favorite in it all,
10:18but, Greg, a first-round sweep by the Celtics
10:20proved a very rude awakening.
10:23And Kyrie missing so many games.
10:26How about Harden wanting out?
10:28Hard to build chemistry and continuity.
10:30That has to be the focus moving forward.
10:32Nets leading by eight.
10:36Oh, here's Curry.
10:37Nothing yet on the scoreboard for him.
10:40Elbow shot is on the way.
10:43Here's Claxton.
10:45Rebound by the 76ers.
10:48144 left now here in the second.
10:53Now the feed to Embiid.
10:55Over Thomas.
10:56The 76ers with another miss.
10:58And so Thomas will bring it up for the Nets.
11:01Only given up two points this quarter.
11:03Bridges kicks the O'Neal.
11:05That'll go with the triple.
11:07The 76ers trail by eight.
11:10Harden looking it over.
11:18Pass to Maxey.
11:21Now here's Embiid.
11:22Defense is right there.
11:24The 76ers again.
11:25Can't hit it.
11:26Nothing seems to be going his way this quarter.
11:28To me, it appears he's starting to lose his composure a little bit.
11:30We'll see if he can regroup and get back into a better rhythm.
11:33Rebinds Bridges.
11:34The Nets need to get a shot off here.
11:40The three from Thomas.
11:41And again, no good by Brooklyn.
11:44And it's the 76ers with the ball.
11:46Eight point eight.
11:46Harden, no good.
11:47And that was lining up to be a huge alley-oop, but they just couldn't quite connect.
11:51And you know, guys, always a tough catch on the lob.
11:53Placement and timing have to be close to perfect.
11:56Now here's Thomas.
11:57They lead by eight.
11:58That's the biggest of the game.
11:5816 feet away.
12:04He can't get that one to fall.
12:06And so it's Brooklyn.
12:07In the driver's seat.
12:08Up eight points at the end of the quarter.
12:09They've been playing some ferocious defense.
12:11It's time now to go courtside as we send you over to David Aldridge from the sideline.
12:14David, take it away.
12:16Thanks, Doc.
12:17Where are the adjustments that you need to make?
12:20If we're going to play like this, and we're going to come down and make no passes,
12:23that's not how we play it.
12:25So we have to fix that first, and then I'll start thinking about the defense.
12:28Thanks, Doc.
12:29Appreciate it.
12:30Back to you, Kevin.
12:30Thanks, David.
12:31And we'll be back shortly following halftime to get the third quarter underway.
12:34And we hope you've enjoyed the broadcast so far.
13:03We're halfway through the game.
13:04Greg Bothertime is undefeated, and every player has to make the decision when it's time to retire.
13:10How big a factor was age for you?
13:12Well, you don't want to leave anything on the table, but your body will tell you when it's time.
13:16I know that was the case for me.
13:17Taking a look at the 76ers.
13:19On the block, it's Tucker next to Embiid.
13:21He's actually out there with Harden, and it's him as in the small fold.
13:24Well, James Harden, still a tremendous player, but now in his early 30s, some question, can
13:29he be the dominant MVP force we saw in Houston?
13:33Take a break.
13:34Take a break.
13:35Two shots.
13:35The first free throw is good.
13:46If you want to know how clever Harden is as a player, just take a look at his one-on-one game.
13:49The way he can pretty much beat any defender.
13:51Quite impressive.
13:52Good on both.
14:03And that's another area where he is just a superb player, excellent, at the free-throw line.
14:09Dinwiddie is repaying the floor.
14:14Shoots over Embiid.
14:15Dinwiddie with the bucket.
14:16Dinwiddie's got the lead up to eight now for Brooklyn.
14:18And Greg Harden in recent years dealing with hamstring injury, as he lost a step-to-age
14:23or injury.
14:24You know, probably a little both, but we've seen players with a new diet or training regimen
14:28get back to peak production.
14:29Hopefully, he can as well.
14:31Now, here's Bridges.
14:32After the news from Tyrese Maxey.
14:34Bridges dishes to Dinwiddie.
14:37Passes it to Finney-Smith.
14:39Shot clock at six.
14:40Back to Dinwiddie.
14:41To the inside.
14:42Bridges.
14:43That one falls coming off Dinwiddie's feet.
14:46Dinwiddie's got his fourth assist with that last one here tonight.
14:48Al Harden, who's got five.
14:53Harris outside.
15:01That shot, no good.
15:02Good work defensively, but Johnson.
15:04On to the right lane.
15:06Dinwiddie wide open.
15:07And it's off from three-point rate.
15:09The 76ers trailed by 10.
15:10Guys, they're looking for a way to score here.
15:12Yeah, they've had a tough time taking the lead off.
15:14And B with a spring on Bridges.
15:18The 11th over.
15:19And misses it off the right side of the rim.
15:21And so is Johnson who brings the ball up for the Nets.
15:25He kicks it to Bridges.
15:26Well, pass to Finney-Smith.
15:35Connished to Dinwiddie.
15:38And to the ball out of bounds.
15:39Dinwiddie touched it back.
15:41Well, certainly, the 76ers the past few seasons have given their fans plenty to feel good about.
15:45Yeah, and you know, those Philly fans are really hard to please.
15:47They have great expectations and knowledge to go along with it.
15:51But you're right, I mean, it's been much easier to look on the bright side than Philly recently.
15:54The talent and results have been trending up in recent years.
15:57And the 76ers decide to take their first time out here.
15:59And go ahead.
16:01Go ahead.
16:02Get me.
16:10Yeah.
16:11Okay.
16:15Fuck.
16:20Fuck.
16:21Fuck.
16:22Fuck.
16:23Fuck.
16:24Fuck.
16:25Fuck.
16:25Come here.
16:26Fuck!
16:27Fuck.
16:28Fuck.
16:28Fuck.
16:28Fuck.
16:30Fuck.
17:01Here comes the best kick, thank you!
17:24A little in the two minutes gone by here on the third.
17:26Here's Max. He's been vicious so far, nothing on the scoreboard yet.
17:31Trying to end the crowd. Ben Simmons with the rebound.
17:34And the great shooters, though, but they've got enough opening to go for the three.
17:37I didn't think it was a bad choice on that position.
17:40Now, here's Tindley. Ten-point lead, this is their biggest.
17:45Here's Simmons, lays it up off the glass.
17:47Simmons got his second bucket tonight.
17:49The interior game of Simmons' is Rock Tyler. He gets a matchup he likes.
17:51He knows exactly how to exploit it.
17:53Frank, Ben Simmons, one of four players in the entire history of the NBA,
17:56to average at least seven rebounds and seven assists per game through his first four seasons.
18:00Think about it, joining Manny Johnson, Oscar Robinson, and Luka Dodgers.
18:03That is some pretty elite-level companies.
18:05And with an update from the sidelines, let's check in with Dave Aldrin.
18:08Thanks very much, Kevin.
18:10Not that long ago, of course, the analytical team shot way more three-pointers,
18:13and they found a temporary edge.
18:14But now every team shoots a lot of threes, and it's more about personnel.
18:18When it's a superstar shooting the ball, that mid-range jumper can be very efficient, guys.
18:23And DA we see all the time.
18:24Brandon Ingram with the New Orleans Pelicans.
18:26KD.
18:27Uh, the two players in Phoenix.
18:29With Chris Ball and Devin Booker.
18:31Turbosan in Chicago.
18:32He'll hit those all day long.
18:33David, thank you.
18:34Wow, here's Simmons.
18:35After the miss from Joel Indy.
18:36And here it's wide open.
18:37He shoots.
18:38Oh, good on the triple.
18:39You know what, though?
18:40Sometimes you can be too open.
18:41I think it may have surprised him, and that's why he missed.
18:43And there's a minute 45 left here in the third quarter.
18:48And B finds Patsy.
18:50Now the five on the shot clock.
18:51The 76ers within other minutes.
18:53And the well is running dry for him right now.
18:56Nothing.
18:57And, you know, you can sense his frustration.
18:58This is going to be a test of his resolve here.
19:00Now here's Dinwiddie.
19:02Six points for him.
19:04Johnson the best to finish Smith.
19:08Small boomer by Brooklyn.
19:10Johnson can't get it to go.
19:11The 76ers trail by 14.
19:13They need a good offensive possession.
19:15Yeah, they've gone a long time without a bucket.
19:17Embiid hit the Niang.
19:19Pass to Embiid.
19:21And they double up Embiid.
19:23No one near Maxey as he lets it fly.
19:25And Embiid is right there.
19:26Embiid right there to get the rebound and put it right back up.
19:28Excellent anticipation.
19:32Dinwiddie against Harden.
19:33Johnson, that's for two.
19:35And again, no good by Brooklyn.
19:37And so it's Maxey with it.
19:38He brings it up for Philadelphia.
19:40Down by 12.
19:41Up top Embiid.
19:42Pass to Maxey.
19:43Launches it.
19:44Ends him into the rebound.
19:46For Brooklyn.
19:47They've gone a somewhat so far 4-10 on their shots in the second half so far.
19:50Tries the spin move.
19:53Dinwiddie with it.
19:55And that would have counted.
19:56But a shot is off the mark this time.
19:57And so it's Brooklyn.
19:58Up by a dozen here at the end of the quarter.
19:59And against one of the toughest offensive players in the league.
20:00They've been doing a great job shutting down James Harden.
20:01Right back after this break.
20:02Now let's take a look at our assist of the game presented by Steve Barnes.
20:09And he's always been the favorite to back this honor.
20:10These kind of feeds are his bread and butter.
20:11Well you can't run away from the DNA.
20:12We've been running the show and make sweet highlight real plays.
20:13Night in and night out.
20:14And there have been two very different performances from these teams today.
20:16As we get going in point number 4.
20:17O'Neal is out there with manos.
20:18And it's Mikel Bridges.
20:19Then there's Ben Simmons.
20:20And it's Curry.
20:21And that'sNBA.
20:22This is R.O.T.
20:23Where is he taking notes of the game.
20:24That'sNBA.
20:25He's got his team.
20:26And now let's take a look at our assist of the game presented by Steve Barnes.
20:30Man he's always been the favorite Tobacco Slaughter.
20:32These kinds of feeds are his bread and butter.
20:35Well you can't run away from the DNA.
20:37We've been running the show and make sweet highlight real plays.
20:38Night in and night out.
20:40And they've been two very different performances from these teams today.
20:41We get going.
20:42Then there's Ben Simmons, and it's Curry in at the one spot.
20:44So that's the Nets' five.
20:46Down low.
20:47They swipe it.
20:51Milton against Thomas.
20:53Stolen by O'Neal.
20:56Outside Thomas.
20:57Over Milton.
20:58Thomas, no luck.
21:00The 76ers trail by 12.
21:01Passes to Milton.
21:05It passes to Milton.
21:07Carroll was screen on Bridges.
21:08Milton with it.
21:09Outguarded by Simmons.
21:10Six on the shot clock.
21:12Thomas against Milton.
21:15No good from 11 feet.
21:17Brooklyn leading by 12.
21:20Outside Kirk.
21:22Simmons finds Thomas.
21:24Bridges sets the screen for Thomas.
21:26On the high post.
21:27And another turnover here by Brooklyn.
21:29You know, that's just healthy basketball giving away a possession.
21:31No real reason for that turnover.
21:32Nicholas Claxton's checked in for Simmons.
21:35The 76ers trail by 12.
21:38Milton the best to the Daniels.
21:40Now here's Harrell.
21:43Tight defense on him.
21:44Rebounded by the Nets.
21:46Claxton's got nine rebounds in the game.
21:48Getting it done.
21:51Bridges, what's up?
21:54Pass to Curry.
21:55Inside
21:58Taking it to the rack
22:02With power hammering down the two-hand slam
22:04Really piling on the lead with a dunk like that
22:07Now here's Milton
22:08Here's the house, here's Milton
22:10Shoots the three
22:11The 76ers with another mix
22:13Thomas pitches to O'Neal
22:16On the wing bridges
22:18Passes it to Kerr
22:21It's a three-point bomb
22:23Curry's got his first three points of the game
22:25At the arc, Curry's so consistent
22:27And he'll knock it down every chance he gets from there
22:29Timeout called the 76ers
22:30Come on, thank you, Gary
22:44And he'll knock it down every chance he'll knock it down every chance he'll knock it down every chance he'll knock it down every chance he'll knock it down every chance he'll knock it down every chance he'll knock it down every chance he'll knock it down every chance he'll knock it down every chance he'll knock it down every chance he'll knock it down every chance he'll knock it down every chance he'll knock it down every chance he'll knock it down every chance he'll knock it down every chance he'll knock it down every chance he'll knock it down every chance he'll knock it down every chance he'll knock it down every chance he'll knock it down every chance he'll knock it down every chance he'll knock it down every chance he'll knock it down every chance he'll knock it down every chance he'll knock it down every chance he'll knock it down every chance he'll knock it down every chance he'll knock it down every chance he'll knock it down every chance he'll knock it down every chance he'll knock it down every chance he'll knock it down
23:14And now a moment to present the new balance player of the game.
23:37Well, his ability to penetrate in this one has really been something special.
23:40Making the defense really look helpless as he was able to get inside time and time again.
23:44Not that it's easy to stop a guy with his ball's skill and agility, but boy, did he make it look easy.
23:49He's played out to his full potential tonight, and he's been playing to the crowd, too.
23:52He loves being the star of attraction, even if it doesn't happen on a regular basis.
24:08Here's the pass to Milton.
24:11Milton with the ball.
24:13A free ball.
24:14Dinwiddie with the rebound.
24:16Dinwiddie's got his fourth rebound in this one.
24:19Pass to Ben Smith.
24:23It's Thomas on the wing.
24:26Shot clock at five.
24:27Dinwiddie kicks to Bridget.
24:29Here's the free.
24:31Dinwiddie's shot is off.
24:32And you could tell he thought that triple was going to fall.
24:35Harris passes to Milton.
24:36And here is McDaniel.
24:42Well, if you're just tuning in, welcome.
24:44We've got about three and a half minutes gone here in the fourth quarter.
24:46Second-chain shot.
24:47And Harrell with the lay-in.
24:48Good.
24:48You know, Harrell may only be 6'7", but he absolutely owns the paint.
24:51Because this guy knows where his strength is, and he plays to it.
24:53Getting busy down low.
24:54Now, here's Bridget.
24:56And he gets the whistle.
24:57Two free throws coming out.
24:58That one on Harris.
24:59And Greg, the Philadelphia 76.
25:01They've made it very clear.
25:01They are all in on a title run.
25:04And their promise has been very focused on trying to get top-tier talent on this roster.
25:07After this rush to process here, they're now aggressively pursuing titles here in Philly.
25:11And that one falls for Bridget.
25:23And a talented swing, man.
25:24Bridget is someone to keep an eye on as he continues to round out his game.
25:28Johnson, he's checked in for Thomas.
25:29And Philadelphia will go for a different look here.
25:31Joel Embiid, he's checked in for Montrezl here.
25:33P.J. Tucker comes in for McDaniels.
25:35Axe's checked in for Milton.
25:36And it's James Harden in for Shaq Milton.
25:38Both free throws good for Bridget.
25:39Over three and a half minutes through the final quarter now.
25:43They've been struggling here on offense.
25:44Yeah, a bit of a dry spell for sure.
25:48Harden's shot is good.
25:49What can you do?
25:50What's the answer?
25:50Harden, gifted near the basket.
25:52Strong in body.
25:53Elite skill set.
25:55Most defenders have no chance.
25:57Now, here's Dinwid.
25:58It's called in by the 76ers.
26:00Embiid's got six rebounds here tonight.
26:02In the corner, it's Harris.
26:04Back to Mechie.
26:07Feeds to Embiid.
26:08Out to Harris.
26:09There's the triple.
26:11Goes back up.
26:13Finds it again.
26:13And Embiid finishes inside.
26:15Well, you know, there's only so much you can do against Embiid, guys.
26:17I mean, he's such a terrifically skilled offensive player with great size.
26:20I mean, he plays pretty much through any kind of contact.
26:23Pass to Johnson.
26:27Pass to Finney-Smith.
26:27And it's Philadelphia with the rebound.
26:31And these are the types of games where one team clearly has the edge.
26:35Tight.
26:35There will be a win by a large margin for the Nets.
26:38Not a lot of fast breaks in this one, but the shots can mostly be attributed to solid defense by both teams.
26:42Yeah, both teams picked up a great effort on D.
26:44And really just a great play to sacrifice his body if they take charge.
26:47Heads up action there.
26:48Reading the play and then beating him to the spot.
26:50Well done.
26:51Pilled off this on ice cold from 3.904 since the start of the final quarter.
26:55Here's Embiid.
26:56Off the mark.
26:57Get a chance to trim it to single digits.
26:59And so it's Johnson who brings the ball up for the Nets.
27:01Here's Bridges.
27:02And again, no good by Brooklyn.
27:06On the wing, Harden.
27:07Dinwiddie covering.
27:09The pass to Embiid.
27:12And they double up Embiid.
27:14Kicks it out to Harden.
27:15Just five on the clock.
27:16Dinwiddie with the rebound.
27:27And so it's completely easily grabbing this one.
27:30Even really not in this one.
27:31It seemed like they were happy to play at home tonight.
27:33It makes a big difference.
27:33Once they started to really play in rhythm,
27:36you never felt like they had any doubts as to whether or not they were going to win it.
27:38And that'll wrap it up, folks.
27:40For Clark Kellogg, Rick Anthony, and David Oates,
27:41this is Kevin Harland thanking you for watching the NBA presented by 2K Sports.
27:45We'll see you next time.
