05:39Но он не мог бы быть, но он не мог бы быть.
05:42Он не мог бы быть, но он не мог бы быть.
05:42И он не мог бы быть.
05:46Он не мог бы быть.
05:47Действие движения для Холмгрен.
05:49Он был как эффективный, как он был в его entire career.
05:55Эдуард, пытаясь сделать его, но он не мог бы быть.
05:57И, может быть, ты должен думать, что Холмгрен,
06:00который был бы защитным,
06:01он был бы в голове.
06:03Он был бы лучшим в мире.
06:04И я уверен, что, через 72 games,
06:08everybody knows that.
06:14Williams is trying to pop into that three.
06:17Not able to convert.
06:19Холмгрен, again, standing tall right at the rim,
06:22affecting the drive of Bochamp.
06:25As we already say, he's the best rim protector in the league.
06:28And this is his second block right now.
06:30He's literally taking away points from teams and plays like that,
06:34because he's not the primary defender.
06:35He's a secondary defender.
06:37Those guys might want to reconsider.
06:40Just an elite rim protection by the big man out of Gonzaga.
06:46Something that he's been doing all season long.
06:49He's been one of the best defenders top to bottom.
06:53SGA bounces off the defender and then shows the touch of the mid-range.
06:57Just takes his time.
06:58Can't speed him up, can't slow him down.
07:00They've got the rookie trying to guard one of the most lethal scorers in the association.
07:05One-on-one?
07:06That's gonna be tough.
07:08You've seen so many double teams throughout this road trip on SGA.
07:15He's got single coverage.
07:16He will absolutely feast.
07:19There's a miss by Edgecombe.
07:21As J-Dub surveys, trying to bring it up the floor.
07:25A few times this year that we've seen this starting lineup with all the injuries that the Thunder have faced.
07:31As they try to get that pass inside to Hardenstein, there's a turnover.
07:34Edwards trying to fire it.
07:36That's off Hardenstein.
07:37Then off of Sixer players.
07:39SGA trying to push.
07:40Floating it up.
07:41Instead, it got picked off by Edgecombe.
07:47Beauchamp, the dish, and the Sixers turn it over again.
07:51Already the fourth turnover.
07:53Is that pass intended for Barlow?
08:01Expected a little bit of pace with the way that Philly plays.
08:05And Holmgren on the fadeaway.
08:07No.
08:08But we get a whistle and a foul on the baseline.
08:10Is it a loose ball foul underneath as Hardenstein and Bona were battling?
08:18Good job.
08:21Free throws for Chet.
08:24As he was fouled while taking a shot.
08:26And the line is shooting.
08:32Two free throws for Holmgren gives us an opportunity to check in on tonight's Paris Devon injury report.
08:39And A.J. Mitchell, the suspension.
08:41They got Topic and Sanford on some assignments.
08:45Philadelphia, this is a long list with some big names.
08:48Maxi, Embiid, and George, and Grimes, and Oubre.
08:52That is basically all the offense for Philly outside of Edgecombe.
08:57And a good little run there of four-plus minutes for J-Dub making his return.
09:02Yeah.
09:03How about that, too?
09:04You saw that long-term list of players out for the 76ers.
09:07The Thunder have been battling that statistic all season long.
09:11This second-most man games in the association.
09:16Edgecombe's able to work his way into his offense.
09:18Just kind of methodically got to that right elbow.
09:21And pulled up for the J.
09:23It's a 6'4 guard.
09:24He's got really a smooth game.
09:31Hardenstein got that pass from SGA.
09:34That's Holmgren.
09:37There's the pass on the cut by Dort.
09:39Right across the baseline and the elevation for the jam.
09:43Well, body's in motion.
09:44That's how Chet picked up his dribble in the paint.
09:46Philly kind of froze for a second.
09:48Got caught watching the paint drive.
09:50And a nice backdoor cut by Dort.
09:53So many different dimensions of the offense.
09:56Barlow missed the initial layup.
09:57Thanks to the Holmgren defense, but the putback is good.
10:05Good flow, good rhythm here in this first quarter.
10:09And I think SGA thought that Dort was going to be on the sideline.
10:13He crashed inside, and we meet the first timeout here of this first quarter.
10:18Good offense for the Thunder.
10:21They're getting those easy buckets early as J-Dub makes his return.
10:29Let's take a look tonight's Riverwind Casino wildcard.
10:31Keys to the game, Michael.
10:33All the 76ers get 18% of their offense from that Pareto line.
10:36So defend without fouling.
10:39That's another one that's going to always probably play out the rest of the season.
10:42Score quickly.
10:42Don't allow them to set up their defense.
10:45They got a good job of that a couple nights ago in D.C.
10:47Control the glass.
10:48How about an excellent night of that in the nation's capital
10:51with that plus 21 differential on the glass.
10:54See if they can continue to control it.
10:56They've done so many good things over the course of the season,
10:59but rebounding not something that we mentioned a whole lot is Jared McCain.
11:03He's going to make his first appearance in this first quarter.
11:08Former Sixer gets a nice round of applause from his former home crowd.
11:14Got traded OKC back on February 4th.
11:17He's in the middle of a road trip on the West Coast.
11:21Caruso in the game for the first time.
11:23That's going to be a travel by Edwards and Philly's been racking up the turnovers here in this first quarter.
11:29Yeah, that's a number five.
11:30But, you know, I like the rotation that created that turnover.
11:33Did you see Nick Nurse?
11:34Won the title back in 2019.
11:37Do you remember with the Raptors?
11:38That miracle shot against this very same team in the Eastern Conference by Kawhi Leonard.
11:43I think home on the rim.
11:45They won him a championship even though they were in the conference finals.
11:48Boy, SGA just so good.
11:51Didn't need the ball to hit the rim four times for that one to go in.
11:59As Dort trying to stay attached to Edgecombe.
12:04And you see Andre Drummond trying to zip that pass on the backdoor cut.
12:08Not a lot of space to get it through.
12:10I'll tell you, Andre Drummond, he's a mainstay man in his early years.
12:16I'll tell you, he was a monster down low.
12:19I was looking at his numbers, Mike.
12:21I mean, he was an absolute machine when it came to rebound of the basketball.
12:26He led the league four times back in his days with Detroit.
12:29I mean, it was automatic that he was going to lead the league.
12:32I mean, we're talking over 14 a game.
12:34Yes.
12:35You know, you talk about how he did.
12:37He reminds me of a guy that played here named Darryl Dawkins.
12:42Big body.
12:43Remember?
12:43Chocolate Thunder.
12:45That's not a joke.
12:46That's his nickname.
12:50The two-time All-Star SGA weaving his way inside, and then the nifty finish with the left.
12:56And there's the quick response by Beauchamp, but he missed the layup right at the rim.
13:02That's that fast break that, you know, the 76ers want to get to.
13:07This is Shea just getting one-on-one coverage once again.
13:09Man, he finds a way to get between three defenders in that painted area
13:13to make a tough little yo-yo layup.
13:18So it puts the Thunder up by eight here early.
13:214.43 to go in this first quarter.
13:24Campaign first appearance.
13:27Good start here offensively.
13:30No for the Thunder, jump down to the eight-point lead.
13:34Payne always trying to get to that three-point shot.
13:37And the nice move on the baseline by Watford,
13:40able to sneak in for that close layup.
13:49Jalen Williams, hands it off, McCain gets to his spot,
13:53pulls up and nails the three right on the sideline.
13:56Yeah, he's just done a great job of just drifting.
13:59Do you ever see Tokyo Drift?
14:01Two fast, two furious.
14:02He just drifted to that corner and knocked down his first bucket.
14:05But this is Porter, too.
14:06That wasn't the first thing that came to mind for me.
14:11The Tokyo Drift.
14:12No, I haven't seen that, by the way.
14:14See, therefore it's only like 99 of them.
14:16What I was going to say, it reminds me of Fast and the Furies.
14:19And that's two in a row for McCain.
14:22Coming off the bench right away and nailing a couple of threes.
14:26These guns are smoking right now.
14:28As he'll put the Thunder up by 12.
14:33Payne in the mid-range.
14:35He's going to get to his spot.
14:37But one of the things that Mark Dagnall has really pointed out is just how comfortable
14:40Jared McCain has been particularly in working with the second unit and working with the Thunder bigs.
14:46Guys like Jalen Williams, Hardenstein Holmgren.
14:48He just feels so comfortable coming off of all those screens.
14:53And that's a great offense for him.
14:55And that's great offense by SGA.
14:57Once again, passing over his teammates.
15:00A little shot fake.
15:01Didn't even put the ball on the floor.
15:02And just passed it right over to Jay Will.
15:04Who applies him with a drive cut down.
15:08A lot of clean looks here in the first.
15:11Ball swings over to Payne.
15:12He loves that three.
15:13And he's able to knock it down.
15:17A little bit too much space there for Camp Payne.
15:19Who's been living behind that three-point line.
15:22What a good start by Jared McCain.
15:24Coming off the bench.
15:26Getting to where he wants to on the floor.
15:29Why not?
15:30Wheel around.
15:32Get your feet set.
15:34And find the bottom of the net from downtown.

15:54Let's check in with Nick.
15:55Well guys, a couple quick threes from Jared McCain
15:58here in his return to Philadelphia.
16:00So much conversation this morning at shoot around.
16:03And then pregame about him coming back here after the trade.
16:06A couple months ago.
16:07A month or so ago.
16:08And Jared just talked about how grateful he is to the teammates in OKC.
16:13For putting him in positions to succeed.
16:15We saw both of those threes set up by Jay Will.
16:18And Mark Dagnall said before the game.
16:20It says so much about the Thunder.
16:22The guys in the locker room.
16:23That they're really focused on getting the best version of the guys alongside of them.
16:28And you see a guy like Jay Will setting up his teammate there.
16:31That's a prime example.
16:32But we see it again and again.
16:33Alex Caruso.
16:34Isaiah Hartenstein.
16:36AJ Mitchell.
16:36And now McCain.
16:37These Thunder players.
16:38These teammates.
16:39They want to put their teammates in position to succeed.
16:41But he loved his time in Philly.
16:44He did say when he arrived here.
16:46It was a little bit weird for him.
16:47Coming to the city.
16:48Coming to the hotel.
16:49Understandably so.
16:52Went back to play the team that drafted him out of Duke.
16:57In his first year and a half.
16:58Zips that pass inside Duke Caruso.
17:01It's Wallace from the outside.
17:04And the threes continuing to fly for the Thunder here in the first quarter.
17:07And good job by AC.
17:08Just kind of pros of the defense with the basketball.
17:12To kind of draw in a few guys and free up that open look for Kaysen.
17:17Thunder right now just blistering the Nets.
17:20That's the fifth three.
17:22There's a turnover by Philly.
17:24That one by Watford.
17:26SGA sends it up the floor.
17:27Wallace the nice feed.
17:29And it's Caruso finishing it off.
17:31Yeah.
17:31How about those two guys?
17:32All right.
17:33Just returning the favor.
17:34AC just gave him a nice little dime for a three-pointer.
17:38And he's returning the favor on a hard drive to the basket in transition for a layup for AC.
17:45Sixers extra loose with the basketball.
17:47Already six turnovers.
17:50And almost a seventh there.
17:52But a drive and a foul that's going to put them at the free throw line.
17:57And SGA just picked up his third foul.
18:03How about this?
18:09Good return on that.
18:11This is going to be a challenge here by the Thunder.
18:14As SGA was called for the foul on that play.
18:18Mark Dagonal did not like what he saw.
18:22Well it was SGA who picked up his second foul on the offensive.
18:27Oklahoma City is taking the time out on the four to challenge the ruling on a defensive foul on Shea
18:31Gilgis Alexander.
18:33With a push off from Drummond.
18:36And so Mark Dagonal going with the early challenge here.
18:40This is called letter review brought to you by.
18:42Hello.
18:43Oklahoma official window and door partner.
18:45Of the Oklahoma City Thunder.
18:50Ben Taylor.
18:53White at the monitor and SGA in foul trouble.
18:57Michael really isn't something that we've seen a whole lot of and that's going to stand.
19:00This should not be a long review.
19:03There is a clear swipe down.
19:08And I'm looking to see potentially if maybe the foul is on somebody else.
19:15And it's not.
19:16It looked to me like it was all SGA on that swipe down with the arm.
19:36But Ben Taylor and Jason Goldenberg.
19:40Still looking at it.
19:46Jalen Williams also in the vicinity but I don't see much contact with him.
19:52But did he get the ball.
19:55Yeah.
19:55There and then the swipe down.
19:58Yeah.
19:58It's really close.
20:01That's why it's an extended look by the officials.
20:07Got called on a previous possession on a push off on Andre Drummond.
20:13About 25 feet from the basket.
20:20The fact that it's taken as long as it is tells you that they're thinking about it.
20:24And maybe the contact was with the basketball first.
20:26On some of these angles it's hard to see.
20:30Because there was contact late.
20:32But if you get the ball first.
20:34Well that's right.
20:36Might be enough to convince the officials to overturn this.
20:40Let's see.
20:40I mean we're getting in extra slow motion here.
20:43There's the contact with the ball first.
20:45Then on the right arm.
20:46Kind of like the swipe down after making contact.
20:56The longer this goes you feel like it's more advantageous for OKC.
21:01I just think it's you know it's really close.
21:03But I think it's in favor of SGA.
21:05Possibly.
21:07But here we go folks.
21:08Let's see.
21:11After review we see that Shea Gilgis Alexander gets ball first.
21:15And then knocks the ball clean.
21:16It's going to be overturned to a no call.
21:19In the immediate aftermath of the play.
21:21Two players had a chance to get to the basketball.
21:23So it'll be a jump ball at center circle between any two players.
21:26The challenge is successful.
21:28Since it is successful they will get their time out back.
21:31They have the ability to challenge further in the game.
21:34Successful challenge for Mark Dagnall.
21:36It wipes away the third foul on SGA.
21:38And you can see a baffled Nick Nurse.
21:40I don't think that he saw the replays that we did Michael.
21:43Because if you look at the jumbotron.
21:45Which is what everybody's looking at in this arena.
21:48You see that swipe down.
21:49And on first look it looks like he gets all on.
21:52But then when you slow it down.
21:54He does make contact with the ball first.
21:57And that's what the officials saw as well.
22:01It's going to be a jump ball.
22:02No imminent possession.
22:05After the ball was dislodged.
22:09It's a good thing I didn't put any chips in that time.
22:11Because I got a little hasty.
22:13With my reaction.
22:16Now we've got some kind of delay going on.
22:18Underneath the basket here.
22:21Maybe some kind of equipment issue.
22:25Looks like a.
22:27It's like a microphone.
22:29Hanging.
22:32As.
22:33Drummond is.
22:35Showing his engineering skills.
22:41It looks like for a moment he was able to.
22:44Get it back into there.
22:45Yo.
22:46Perfect.
22:48Second effort.
22:49All it took.
22:51And.
22:52Might as well get the tallest guy on the floor.
22:54Yeah.
22:54Up there to clean it up.
22:56Nice to be six foot eleven.
22:58With a seven foot six.
23:01Wingspan.
23:01I don't know if they're going to like the fact that there's still some wiring that's kind of hanging down
23:06loose.
23:08That's.
23:16That's.
23:21That's.
23:24That's.
23:25That's a great result.
23:26Yeah.
23:29So after that lengthy review.
23:32That ends up in the favor of OKC McCain on the flare out.
23:37Really good look from deep.
23:40That's a play that the Thunder like to run so often with Isaiah Joe particularly off the screen.
23:46For SGA.
23:47The corner three by.
23:49Edgecum.
23:49And one goes down.
23:51Edgecum having a solid first corner.
23:53With eight points.
23:55So he can knock down that three.
23:57Get in the mid range.
24:03Mark Dayton will call it out exactly what he wants here.
24:06On this offensive possession.
24:10As SGA.
24:11Stops.
24:12Pulls up.
24:13They'll go to the three.
24:14The ball pops up.
24:16Philly can get it two for one but it really has to hurry.
24:20Not going to happen now.
24:22The ball went to Drummond.
24:25Watford.
24:25The floater.
24:26No.
24:27SGA able to keep Drummond off the board.
24:29So now the Thunder with a chance.
24:30For the final shot.
24:33And a 35 point first quarter and counting.
24:36Keeping.
24:37Keeping.
24:38The Sixers hot offense.
24:39Under 30.
24:41That's going to be an intentional foul.
24:47Actually.
24:49That's the first foul in the last two.
24:51So it's going to be sideline out.
24:53Just a shorter shot clock.
24:54A little.
24:56Smart.
24:58Adjustment there for the 76ers.
25:017.1 remaining.
25:04SGA on the deck outside.
25:07SGA on the deck outside.
25:07SGA will.
25:08Teens it up.
25:08No good.
25:11But a 35 point first quarter.
25:13A lot of those threes were dropping early on.
25:16Five threes for OKC.
25:19SGA had his offense going with eight points.
25:21But really.
25:22The points get distributed nicely.
25:24For the Thunder.
25:25Well he did a good job of moving the basketball around.
25:27Getting high percentage shots.
25:30I mean high percentage shots from a former 76ers in McCain.
25:33Who knocked down two in that first quarter.
25:43Xfinity Mobile Arena in South Philly.
25:46All lit up.
25:47Here in the sports complex.
25:48How about a 70% field goal percentage.
25:51In that first quarter.
25:52Fourth best of any quarter.
25:53For the Thunder on the season.
25:55Michael.
25:55They really had it going.
25:56Particularly.
25:57From three point land.
25:58Well.
25:59And you like that too.
25:59Because it's going to open up those driving lanes.
26:01Later on in the game.
26:02When you start knocking down those threes.
26:04Early.
26:07Payne's funky shot got blocked on the side by Wallace.
26:11Wiggins on the run out looking for a teammate.
26:15Wallace falling out of bounds.
26:16And there's the turnover.
26:18Up ahead.
26:20Jalen Williams trying to slow it down.
26:22Couldn't do it.
26:27And that is Daylin Terry with the layup in transition.
26:34Joe got that nice screen from Harnstein.
26:36And capitalizes with the three.
26:38How about the patience with the basketball.
26:40By J-Dub.
26:41To wait for that play to develop.
26:46That time it's going to be an offensive foul.
26:52Care of Payne.
26:53Look how he just took out.
26:56J-Dub on that play.
27:02And now it looks like Nick Nurse.
27:04He's going to use his challenge.
27:08Might be a little frustration from the last one.
27:11That got challenged by Mark Dagnall.
27:12The Thunder got overturned.
27:14Using it here.
27:14First minute of the second.
27:20It's just an interesting time to challenge.
27:23For Nick Nurse.
27:24We see the campaign delivers contact on the play.
27:27It's going to be an offensive foul on campaign.
27:29The challenge is unsuccessful.
27:31Since it's unsuccessful.
27:32Philadelphia will not have the ability to challenge further in the game.
27:35But they will still lose their time out.
27:37Since we're inside the mandatory time out window.
27:39Resume play.
27:40Point of interruption to Oklahoma City.
27:42And Michael this is what you and I were having a conversation with going into the break.
27:46In an interesting time.
27:48To challenge for Nick Nurse.
27:50But also.
27:51If he just took one look at that.
27:52That's a pretty easy call.
27:54To uphold.
27:55Yeah.
27:56Interesting.
27:57Decision.
27:58By the 76ers.
28:01Cameron Payne had originally.
28:05Indicated he thought he was.
28:07Actually pushed on that play.
28:09This is a good look off of an offensive rebound.
28:12By Isaiah Hardenstein over to J-Dub.
28:16And he hits the corner ball in the.
28:18In the pocket there.
28:20Just a nice play.
28:23Starting to see that with regularity.
28:24To my heart.
28:26The hot shooting half continues.
28:29Terry in the corner.
28:31That is off.
28:32Jalen Williams the rebound.
28:34As he surveys the floor.
28:36Deciding what to do.
28:38Lawrence Dagnol said.
28:39He's missed a lot of times.
28:40There's also.
28:41A lot of continuity.
28:43Just with all the games that he's played.
28:46And he tried to slip that pass in there.
28:48But Terry.
28:49Picked it off.
28:49Wofford gave it right back to him.
28:51And Terry in transition.
28:53Able to lay it up and in.
28:56This is the kind of buckets Michael.
28:57You do not want to give this Philly team.
28:58That does not have a lot of firepower.
29:00Yeah.
29:01And they like to get in transition too.
29:06Wiggins.
29:07Nearly.
29:08Able to poke it back over toward.
29:10Hartenstein.
29:11Bona.
29:12Bounces off of Joe.
29:13He's going to go to the free throw line.
29:16Tried to get the continuation.
29:23This is a brave move by Joe.
29:25He tried to get there.
29:28Bona.
29:29He's a runaway freight train.
29:31He's got two free throws.
29:33Bona's not a small guy.
29:34By any means.
29:35I mean he's 6'10", 240.
29:37But when you put him in motion like that.
29:40You can bump those numbers up a little bit.
29:43Absolutely.
29:45Now a quick word from Jack in the Box.
29:49Harkness is back with spicy jalapenos, onion rings, and gooey pepper jack cheese.
29:59Deb Bona played at UCLA.
30:03Goes one out of two at the free throw line.
30:11But right now the story of this thunder offense is a three point shooting.
30:18Joe once again trying to get free.
30:21Hand of the face no good.
30:22Hartenstein.
30:23Nice offensive rebound.
30:26He's already up to five boards.
30:31Jada.
30:32In a tough spot.
30:34One second.
30:35Wallace on the fade away.
30:36Had to put it up.
30:38And campaign quickly back the other way.
30:42Takes the pass.
30:43Leaves him open.
30:44And he misfires from deep.
30:45That's what the Sixers want to do.
30:47Get in transition.
30:48Take quick shots.
30:50Gotta need to be careful.
30:52Just continue to build up numbers.
30:54That's a nice quick strike off.
30:55Let's talk about that.
30:56One of the keys to the game is to score quickly.
30:58Don't allow them to set up that zone defense or traffic defense.
31:01It's a matter if SGA's in the game or not.
31:05There's a nice poke away on the backside.
31:07He'll stay with Philly.
31:08You notice that pass, Michael, from J-Dub.
31:10It's on the bounce.
31:11And he always told me that big men don't like passes on the bounce.
31:14Well, if you've got good eye and the coordination like Isaiah Hartstein,
31:17it's not a problem.
31:19You know, I thought you could handle those bounce passes.
31:22Well, a lot of guys can.
31:23You know, as Sixers get inside.
31:25But, you know, that's a high-level pass.
31:28And you've got to almost be ready for it.
31:29Because once it hits the ground, it's bouncing up right in your face.
31:34So much variance to what the Thunder able to do with all the different personnel.
31:38Is J-Dub able to soar in.
31:39Hang in the air long enough for the left-handed layup.
31:42You're right, partner.
31:43A lot of hang time.
31:46On the other end, it is Watford able to muscle his way to the cup.
31:50That quick offense for Philly in transition.
31:54That's an easy bucket.
31:57But Jalen Williams back out on the floor.
32:00An aggressive J-Dub so far.
32:02Got seven points.
32:05News and notes around the NBA brought to you by the University of Central Oklahoma.
32:09Kevin Durant now fifth all-time past Michael Jordan on the all-time scoring list.
32:14Over 32,000 points.
32:17Did it on a three-point shot.
32:19The Minnesota Timberwolves win in Boston for the first time.
32:22And this is wild since 2005.
32:24Thanks to a huge night from Bones Highland off the bench.
32:27He had 23 no Anthony Edwards in a 102-92 victory for Minnesota.
32:33Two teams that are going to be in the postseason.
32:35Speaking of officially clinched in the postseason.
32:39OKC, as we know, San Antonio right behind him in the Western Conference.
32:42And Detroit in the Eastern Conference.
32:44The first team out of the East to officially clinch a playoff spot.
32:51Here we go, Mike.
32:52We got ten games left.
32:53Come around the home stretch for a lot of ball clubs.
32:56You're going to see a lot more teams added to that list, folks.
33:00In the next week or so.
33:03That's J-Dub again getting downhill, putting pressure on that defense.
33:08And he is going to go to the free throw line.
33:10Two shots.
33:12But that Minnesota victory, really impressive on the road.
33:16Where the Thunder going to be on Wednesday night to close out this five-game road trip.
33:24And let's check in with Nick.
33:26Well, guys, J-Dub in his return, very similar to when he returned from the wrist at the beginning of
33:31the season.
33:31Seems to be very focused on playmaking.
33:33He's got four assists already in this game.
33:35And I remember asking him back in the early stages of the season when he came back.
33:40He said, look, I'm just passing the ball to the guys that have been playing all this time.
33:45I want to find my own rhythm.
33:47But doing that by setting up my teammates.
33:49You see him, though, in the flow of things.
33:51Able to get downhill for a nice finish at the rim.
33:53And then got himself to the free throw line there as well in addition to some solid defense.
33:58All right.
33:58Thank you, Nick.
34:00Paris Lawson not with us tonight.
34:01She's on assignment.
34:03Will not be with us on Wednesday either.
34:05But we certainly miss her on the broadcast.
34:09As Hartstein.
34:12Gave it back up to J-Dub.
34:15Wallace shut off on the baseline.
34:16He's got a little bit of space to work with.
34:19And Wiggins' pass is deflected out of bounds.
34:23So you said the term was everyone since 2005.
34:262005 in Boston.
34:27We're talking 20 years.
34:30I'm trying to name a player from that roster maybe.
34:33Paul Pierce.
34:34That was on that roster.
34:38That's a nice give and go that time.
34:40Once again, Hartstein with a tasty dish over to Wiggins.
34:43I'm just out of trouble.
34:45Like, I'm guessing of Paul Pierce.
34:49Delonte West.
34:51Am I wrong with Delonte?
34:52I'm just guessing.
34:53I'm just guessing, folks.
34:55Tough move by Watford.
34:58As he's going to work his way to the free throw line.
35:00This is where I need to, like, talk to Paris Lawson.
35:05And just, you know, kind of throw some questions at her.
35:10Last time in, like, 05.
35:11That the Trevor Rose wanted with the Celtics.
35:14I'm definitely right about Paul Pierce.
35:17I just don't know anybody else at this point in time.
35:20I know Doc Rivers was a coach.
35:22You've got to go back a long time.
35:24You've got to go way back like Carson's.
35:26I'm just saying.
35:30Hard to believe.
35:32That is an extended losing streak.
35:35He's got to feel good to put that one to end.
35:39And finished it out.
35:40Watford at the line.
35:44I've had some good battles with the Celtics.
35:47Should be a good one on Wednesday night at TD Garden.
35:52What a great game inside Paycom Center.
35:56Holmgren, Jason Wallace, McCain, Joe, Wiggins.
36:01And we're going to whistle and a foul.
36:03And as Wallace, one thing I'm noticing, like,
36:05I'm going to see all these different playmakers out there
36:07there's just so much variance to what the Thunder can do offensively
36:11because all the different skill sets out there.
36:14You've seen Case and Wallace make plays.
36:16So Hardenstein, Wiggins on that cut.
36:18Chet Holmgren.
36:19Anybody can make a play that's out on the floor.
36:22They come at you in waves.
36:25And that's why the Thunder roster's been so deep
36:28in what they've been able to do all season long
36:31despite having so many guys, you know, out all year.
36:37Hardenstein's going to have to put it up.
36:39Got to the free throw line.
36:40Hits off as Edgecombe with the rebound for Philly.
36:47As McCain trying to defend his former teammate.
36:52Pass back up top.
36:54Edwards in mid-range.
36:55And Holmgren keeping everybody off the glass.
37:02There's McCain, again, using that screen.
37:04Works his way in.
37:06Ships it back outside.
37:07The high-arcing three for Wiggins is down.
37:10That's a smart basketball by McCain.
37:13Collapsing the defense.
37:14Because once the ball gets in the paint,
37:16that's the most important guy with the basketball.
37:18Everybody has to converge.
37:20And he somehow finds Wiggins,
37:22who delivers in that corner three.
37:25Confidence shooting half so far for OKC.
37:28Past the midway point of the second.
37:32Edwards will pull.
37:34That one not close.
37:35And it caroms right to McCain.
37:41McCain kept the dribble alive.
37:43Fights his way inside.
37:44That ball never hit the rim.
37:48Now Joe.
37:50Well, behind the line he's going to pull up.
37:52Mid-range shot.
37:53No good.
37:56As Terry is shut off.
38:01He kept the dribble alive.
38:02And I don't know where he was throwing that one.
38:06He must have, out of the corner of his eye,
38:08thought that one of those people in the first row
38:10was a black Sixers jersey.
38:12He saw Dave Bliss over there when the assistant coach
38:14and he said,
38:15Look, I'm just going to see if somebody builds me out
38:18on that plate.
38:18Dave just kept his hand as his pocket.
38:20And there's a good look at Dave Bliss.
38:23He's laughing about it too.
38:26But happy they'll take that turnover.
38:28It's been a.
38:28Starting to become an issue for the 76ers here
38:30in this first half of basketball.
38:33524 to go before halftime.
38:35Certainly an issue the first time these two teams met.
38:38When Philly had 23 turnovers.
38:41The Thunder had 31 points off.
38:52So many different players can initiate offense.
38:55This time it's Kayson Wallace.
38:57And a touch pass over to Wiggins who's been camped out in that corner.
39:01McCain.
39:02Tough shot.
39:03Falling away.
39:03No good.
39:05And a long rebound.
39:08And that pass intended for Terry.
39:10He's knocked out of bounds.
39:11You see how that play developed.
39:12You practice that in practice where the coach would just throw the ball.
39:16And you have to run back and get on defense and find somebody.
39:18It's kind of like a scramble.
39:19And that worked to perfection for the Thunder with the deflection by Kayson Wallace.
39:24Sometimes you have to practice what you preach.
39:27That's a song by the baritone of Barry White.
39:34I think you've got to bust that out more.
39:37He had a great voice.
39:40Barlow got met inside Holmgren.
39:42I think he got another rejection.
39:46Dorff stand alone three.
39:49No good.
39:54Edwards.
39:56Got it right back.
39:58Under the five minute mark of the second.
40:01Now Barlow.
40:03Outside.
40:04Low champ.
40:05And Holmgren the rebound.
40:07Philly.
40:08Just five for 14 from deep.
40:10He's doing a good job of getting to those shooters.
40:14McCain able to get down low.
40:15Home grade.
40:16Offensive board.
40:17Banks at home.
40:18And he's so long that he can get up there and you can hit him.
40:21And you can block his shot.
40:22But he'll just push right through it.
40:24And keeps that ball.
40:25He does a great job of keeping that ball up high.
40:29Once he gets that rebound or catches a pass.
40:33That's going to be an offensive foul on Bona.
40:38As Lou Dorff was fighting around the screen.
40:40But this first half Michael for Chad Holmgren.
40:43Four blocks already.
40:46Yeah.
40:47Was that offensive from the screen.
40:49So he did get a block on that last one.
40:50I think so.
40:51Okay. Good. Good.
40:54Now Nick Nurse is fuming on the sideline.
40:57Yeah.
40:58You can see him right in the face of Jenna Schroeder.
41:01I think this is something that's been building ever since that.
41:06Overturn challenge from Mark Dagnall on the swipe down from SGA because.
41:12He is incensed on the sideline.
41:15And then he challenged the play.
41:16That didn't get overturned.
41:19And it puts SGA at the free throw line.
41:22And so Nick Nurse.
41:23He's just been.
41:28He's been letting the officials hear it.
41:37SGA down the lane.
41:38That should have been a gold tag.
41:41Bona's going to get credit for the block.
41:45At least a first look.
41:47Thought that might have hit the backboard first.
41:49Guess not.
41:50That was close.
41:51It was real close.
41:53Well above the.
41:57Court here.
41:58Until the field has gone cold.
42:00This is a good time.
42:01Chance for the Thunder to continue to build on that lead right now.
42:06Holmgren.
42:07Trying to go to work in the post.
42:09Tough fade away.
42:10Left it a little bit short.
42:12O-champ the rebound.
42:17And this is.
42:18See those turnovers.
42:18That's like four.
42:21By the 76ers during this first half.
42:23You know.
42:24We're just nobody's home.
42:25We just.
42:25You know.
42:25Joked about Jay.
42:26Dave Bliss.
42:27Receiving a pass that went over his head.
42:29But the Sixers have had quite a few.
42:32I'm sure that's something that Nick Nurse wants to address.
42:35At halftime.
42:37Some casual turnovers to say the least.
42:40That's a second.
42:41He heard.
42:43Edgecom's going to pick up the personal foul on the drive from SGA.
42:47And Nick Nurse is still letting the officials hear it.
42:51Jason Goldenberg the latest.
42:54I think his big issue right now.
42:56Is to miss threes.
42:58And the turnovers.
43:01From jerseys to jackets.
43:02Hats and shirts.
43:03There's something for every type of Thunder fan.
43:05Shop at the official Thunder Shop at Paycom Center.
43:07Or online.
43:09At okcthunder.com slash shop.
43:18Eleven first half points.
43:20For the reigning MVP.
43:25It's going to be a good game to have an SGA jersey on.
43:30Dark came down the double team.
43:35He's going to commit the foul.
43:39Third team foul on okc.
43:42And the Sixers are.
43:43In a drought here.
43:46Scoreless over the last four plus minutes.
43:48The Thunder not building them out by putting them on the free throw line.
43:50Where they get over 18 percent.
43:52Of their points.
43:53From that free throw line.
43:56A lot of that has to do with the turnover so far.
43:58In this first half.
43:59For the 76ers.
44:01Haven't had a lot of.
44:02Good solid possessions.
44:05Short clock here.
44:08Better built up this lead.
44:09As the ball is going to dance on the rim.
44:11And finally tapped over to Caruso.
44:14Which is right now shooting.
44:1837 percent.
44:20And she was going for that step back three.
44:23Holmgren.
44:24Lost his footing underneath.
44:26Edgecombe.
44:27Up to Bona.
44:28Bona rumbling.
44:29And it's going to get fouled.
44:34The Thunder have just completely.
44:38Suffocated this Sixers offense.
44:40That's shooting just 37 percent.
44:42As this arid stretch continues.
44:45The 226.
44:47That's allowed the Thunder to really build out this lead comfortably.
44:50Up to 20 the Sixers.
44:52With just 36 points so far in this first half.
44:55And what about those 11 turnovers.
44:58We've talked about some of the unforced ones.
45:00For the 76ers here in this first half of basketball.
45:03They've given up 16 points.
45:06226 to go.
45:07Before halftime.
45:09Nick and Royce got you.
45:11They're going to break down his first half.
45:12And get you ready for the second half.
45:14As they always do.
45:16My little cheat sheet.
45:17Going into the second half.
45:19Listening to the halftime show.
45:25Nice little preview.
45:26As Royce will be with Nick.
45:30The Sixers just looking for a point here.
45:35Trying to get something to show for here.
45:37For this last stretch.
45:41A little bit tough when you don't have the firepower.
45:43And they can't get a free throw to go.
45:45Misses two consecutive.
45:48It's tough when you don't have.
45:50Most of your offensive engines and you're going.
45:52against the best defense in the NBA.
45:55Which is what OKC is.
46:00As SGA wants it.
46:02High post.
46:04Over to Jay Will.
46:05He'll fire away.
46:06And he's got himself another three.
46:07As that one rattles home.
46:09That's what happens when you focus too much on one guy.
46:12You get caught.
46:14Out of position.
46:16And I tell you.
46:16The SGA.
46:18So willing to.
46:19To give the basketball.
