00:00Fans don't see the unseen hours. You don't see how he is pouring into his teammates every day.
00:06He is the most consistent player I have ever covered in my 20-plus years of covering the NBA.
00:12In terms of being the same person, if he plays, if he doesn't play, on the bus, on the plane,
00:17he truly is someone that pours into the entire group.
00:20Man, I always talk about, God, a great move by the law on that little pickup dribble.
00:25I always express, and I can't express it enough, or even talk about it enough,
00:29how important it is to have a guy in the organization that's like an Anthony Gill.
00:34And you know what? Quiet is kept later on in your career.
00:37These guys, if you want to stay involved with an NBA organization and not play in a basketball game,
00:45how can you figure out how to impact the culture and win games without playing?
00:50It's one of the most hardest things to do as a pro. Anthony Gill has figured that out.
00:54Ball's tapped out to Edgecombe.
00:57Swing it at George. Corner three. Laces that one.
01:01Well, right now, who is going to step up to the challenge defensively guarding Paul George?
01:06He has 27 points. If I had to guess, it's Bilal Kulibar.
01:13Riley on a pull-up J.
01:16The assignment of guarding Paul George is extremely difficult.
01:20His last three games since coming off his suspension, he's shooting 40% from three,
01:25getting it anywhere he wants on the floor.
01:27Yeah, but right now we have Trey Johnson having to defend him, and right now...
01:31Oh, Bono!
01:32Oh, excuse me.
01:34A knuckle sandwich.
01:36That was with his left hand.
01:38Man.
01:41Oh, got him.
01:42Oh, take that with you.
01:45Tristan's on the deck. Slow to get up.
01:48Sixers have a five on four.
01:50Bono.
01:51And the reason why he got that so easy is Tristan is still on the other end of the floor.
01:56Gives a thumbs up to the coaching staff. He wants to stay out there.
02:03Johnson.
02:05Is it to Carrington?
02:06Nice cut by Riley.
02:08Oh, my goodness.
02:09Get him back.
02:09Young fellow.
02:11Put it on his head.
02:18Will Riley.
02:21Young fellow, you deserve our Honda drive of the game.
02:24Hey, this is about having your teammates back right here.
02:27Somebody got punched on on the other end, and then Will Riley said,
02:31don't worry, I got you.
02:32That was a throw through.
02:33Maybe his first body.
02:35Is that the first thing?
02:36That might be his first body.
02:37Oh, he got him.
02:39So, he got some get-backs.
02:42I see you, Will.
02:43Okay.
02:44That's another layer of his game.
02:46George is unconscious right now.
02:48Oh, George.
02:50George now at 30.
02:54I got to do it.
02:55I got to do it.
02:56I got to do it.
03:01I'm with you, Drew.
03:02Right here, got to take the assignment.
03:04You got to turn his water off.
03:05It is just too easy for Paul George.
03:07I mean, come on.
03:09What will Ron Artest do right now?
03:11If you know that the best defender on the team,
03:13you have to go cut that man's water off.
03:15No switches.
03:19Sixers switching.
03:24Carrington misses that one.
03:28It's going to be a loose ball foul.
03:30By the way, Tristan Vukcevich is headed back to the Wizards locker room.
03:34Let's see what happened here.
03:36With that right knee kind of buckled.
03:39Then right there, he landed.
03:42Buckled and then landed on it on the hardwood.
03:46Keep you posted on Tristan.
03:49Anthony Gill is in for him.
03:54It's just unfortunate that Tristan was having yet another fantastic offensive performance.
03:59He loved the minutes.
04:0017 points.
04:02Only missed one shot.
04:05Going to the line is Trey Johnson, and he has struggled, Drew.
04:10Last seven games, he is shooting 22% from three, nine for 41.
04:15And tonight, he's 0 for 6 from the field, 0 for 2 from downtown.
04:19Well, what's going to help Trey?
04:20That's a great pass, though.
04:22Do something else.
04:24But what's going to help Trey Johnson, I guarantee you, he can get in the flow.
04:28We saw small windows and spurts how it looks when Trey Young is out here.
04:36Maxi slamming it off the feed from Bona.
04:38I think if anybody's going to benefit with having Trey Young being the point guard,
04:43it's going to be Trey Johnson.
04:44Well, you saw the very first game, those two was out there together.
04:47You saw how Trey was able to benefit from that.
04:50And then Alex, remember, Alex didn't play in that first game.
04:52So we were thinking, okay, Trey Johnson's going to benefit the most.
04:58From a dunk to a step back.
05:01Maxi now has 23.
05:15Now, throughout the course of the year, this Wizards Young team has, by their play on the court,
05:21let management know that they were ready to ascend next year.
05:24That's why you acquired two guys that have a combined 14 All-Star appearances.
05:28And then I had a chance to talk to Draymond Green after that game there at Golden State.
05:35And one thing he said, he said, you know, we played a lot of young teams this season.
05:41And teams was trying to work their way up into the lottery and have better lottery positions.
05:47And he told me in my face that this has been the hardest team to play against this entire season.
05:56The two times the Warriors had to play against the Wizards.
05:59That young core, he's been really impressed.
06:01And the guy that he spoke very highly of was Will Riley.
06:07Carrington with a funk fake off the glass, not able to score.
06:10Bona picked up his fourth foul.
06:12Andre Drummond in the game now.
06:14Maxi on a pull-up three.
06:17Droughton Brian Keefe to call time.
06:23Sixers now with their largest lead of the game of 11.
06:28Cooper was and where he's at now.
06:30I mean, he has made strides and took advantage of his opportunity minutes.
06:36And here you are now, full circle.
06:38This was a phenomenal season for Sheree Cooper.
06:43One of threes, no good.
06:45Rebounded by Drummond.
06:47Philly on a 7-0 run.
06:49All Tyrese Maxi make it 9-0.
06:52And you can add Edgecombe to the run.
07:02Heal setting the screen for Trey.
07:04Trey looking for his first field goal.
07:13Riley now trying to contain that guard.
07:15Maxi.
07:16That's a brick.
07:24And that's going to be a jump ball as Andre Drummond got his hands in there.
07:34Trey right now is a minus 21 on the floor in 21 minutes.
07:38He's having a tough night.
07:39But in this league, you can't have games, makes and misses, predicate your game.
07:47You see what I'm saying?
07:48You have to do something else out there.
07:49Can you facilitate?
07:50Can you go out there and get some stops, some steals, deflections on the defensive end?
07:55And rebound the ball.
07:56George is too easy.
07:57His offense right now is automatic.
08:0035 points for Paul George.
08:02And how old is he?
08:0335 years old.
08:04There you go.
08:05His 16th year out of Fresno State.
08:09There it is.
08:10Trey gets his first field goal.
08:12At the start of 0 for 8.
08:14Talk about doing other things.
08:15He does have four rebounds and four assists.
08:18George again.
08:23And then he comes up with a steal.
08:24So he gets a three.
08:25He gets inside.
08:26A steal.
08:28And then Edgecombe off the business end of Maxie.
08:31Gives him a high five.
08:41Sixers are doing this tonight without the services of Joel Embiid.
08:50Barlow in the corner.
08:52Edgecombe relocates, squares the feet, and hits the three.
08:56Another timeout by Brian Keith.
08:58This game is starting to get away from Washington here with under six minutes to go in the third quarter.
09:08Characteristics.
09:09Paul George playing out of his mind right now.
09:1237 points.
09:13Who's going to step up to the challenge defensively and say, you know what?
09:17He's not catching the ball no more.
09:19A.G. coming out of the timeout.
09:21And coming out of the clouds with the dunk.
09:25Heal with 15.
09:28Let's not miss the shot.
09:30Five rebounds and four assists.
09:32Can I say triple-double watch?
09:33Uh-oh.
09:34He said it Monday night.
09:36And a certain guy got it.
09:38Barlow.
09:38Dominic Barlow.
09:40Gets inside.
09:41He's the.
09:48Trying to fight over that screen.
09:52Philadelphia.
09:53Welcome in.
09:5415.
09:55Dominic Barlow.
09:56Barlow picking up the foul.
09:58He's the first OTE alum.
10:00Overtime elite to make an NBA roster.
10:02So Justin Champigny at the scorer's table.
10:05Alex Saar.
10:07Spent a couple years at OTE.
10:10Down there in Atlanta.
10:13Gil.
10:13On the deck.
10:14He slams it again.
10:16He's going crazy.
10:17A.G. has found the fountain of youth.
10:20Amazing.
10:21Get him, Gil.
10:2233 years old.
10:23A.G.
10:27Second highest month in his career of scoring was in March when he averaged almost eight.
10:31He averaged nine and a half in April of 2024.
10:35Sharif now trying his hand.
10:37Trying to guard George.
10:39That one lifts out.
10:40Good defense.
10:46Johnson tags a three.
10:48Listen.
10:49Shooters say all the time, the next one is going in.
10:53You have to have that confidence.
10:56Trey's first three of the night.
10:59He's got five points.
11:01George.
11:0239.
11:13Now he's guarding Johnson.
11:16Trey whips it out to Gil.
11:18A little head fake and a kick.
11:21To Riley in the corner.
11:29I love the competitive spirit of Anthony Gil tonight.
11:32Yeah.
11:33And it's not just Anthony Gil.
11:34You can see Will Riley mixing it up.
11:36That's a straight line.
11:37I told you.
11:37Okay.
11:38Okay.
11:38He started to knock that down.
11:39As I told you.
11:40The latter part of his career, he has found that three-point corner shot.
11:53So Trey now has hit a couple threes.
11:56Hopefully that will get him calibrated.
11:58Nick Nurse calls time.
12:01Johnson now with eight.
12:03Washington is trailing 111-96 with 338.
12:07Fixers.
12:11Late overseas and then got the call up for Philly on this stretch run.
12:15I think he didn't have the NBA out.
12:17I think he just bounced.
12:20So forget the contract.
12:21I'm going back to the league.
12:23He comes right in and scores.
12:24Drew right on cue.
12:25Well, he's serviceable.
12:26For real.
12:27He's been noted to get hot off the bench quick.
12:31Oh, like this guy?
12:34Like that guy?
12:35Like that guy.
12:36Jayden Hardy.
12:46Champagny, Carrington, Sharif Cooper, Jayden Hardy, and Gil.
12:50Watch Tyrese Maxey just get wherever he wants on the floor.
12:53Yeah, once he gets down here, it looks like guys are just moving out his way.
12:55Not wanting to meet him at the rim.
13:02Champagny on a pull-up J.
13:04Rebounded by Payne.
13:08You add Payne to this mix of the other guards.
13:11Boy, Philly is just – they've got a surplus of them.
13:14That's better.
13:16Drummond again in the corner.
13:18I told you, Chris.
13:20At the beginning of the season, I said I saw a couple games.
13:23Andre Drummond shooting at three now.
13:25Shooting 35% clip from –
13:29And it'll stay with Washington 15 on the shot clock.
13:33You know, it was about two years ago when I was like, he's an okay rebounder.
13:39And you looked at me, I think we were in Chicago.
13:40And you looked at me and you said, Chris, that guy's one of the greatest offensive rebounders in the league.
13:45And you looked it up.
13:46All time in the league.
13:48So what did I do next time we saw him?
13:50You gave him his respects and me.
13:52I apologize to both of you.
13:54You apologize to me, yeah.
13:55Because when you look at the number, I think he had two seasons not too long ago where he averaged
14:0016 rebounds a game, Chris.
14:02Yep.
14:03Remember his time in Detroit?
14:04He was a constant double-double.
14:06He's almost average at nine this season in limited minutes.
14:09I mean, this guy, since – he's been the same bill since he was 18 years old.
14:13I played against Andre Drummond when he was in Detroit in his younger years, and I was in Milwaukee.
14:18And I tell you what, if you helped – it gave him space down there on that block.
14:23It was ball-watching.
14:25Oh, he's going to eat that space up.
14:26And he got every offensive rebound.
14:29Four-time NBA rebounding champion, Andre Drummond.
14:32He now finds himself in the corner.
14:35Rhymes – oh, nice shake and bake.
14:37Swings it over to Oubre, who misses.
14:40Rhymes gets the rebound, tried to no-look at the Drummond.
14:42Good hands by Washington.
14:45Cooper.
14:48Champagny foul.
14:54And this was that group, Chris, that kind of got the Wizards, not only back in the ball game in
14:59that first half,
15:00but was able to take a lead.
15:03They get back into the game because Paul George is sitting.
15:05This is the second time that's happened where they're able to get some momentum going.
15:11All right, here's a word from Fanduul.
15:25New customers get up to 300 back in bonus bets every day for 10 days if your bets don't win.
15:31Wizards 8 of 9 from the free throw line.
15:33They've got 42 points off their bench tonight.
15:35All right, Maxi.
15:42Sharif.
15:44And a putback by Justin.
15:47Right on cue.
15:48Getting the offensive putback.
15:53Champagny with a dozen in 12 minutes.
15:59Under a minute to play.
16:05Oubre splits two Wizards.
16:08Right now, with Andre Drummond spacing the floor.
16:13I can't believe it.
16:14Spacing the floor.
16:15Anthony Gill can't hill ball.
16:17And that's allowing these easy drives to the rim.
16:22I've never thought I would hear you say, Andre Drummond is spacing the floor.
16:26Hey, evolve or die, right?
16:28Exactly.
16:36Right here.
16:37JC.
16:39Like I said, not every once in a while.
16:42Every time going to that offensive glass, something good will happen.
16:46It's a learned behavior.
16:47And guess what?
16:49He's doing it at a high level.
16:51Anthony Gill's first free throw attempt of the night.
16:53He's got 17 points.
16:55Five rebounds.
16:57Five assists.
17:05Only miss one shot tonight, Chris.
17:07He's rebounding the ball.
17:08He's a good playmaking.
17:10We have five assists.
17:11A chance right here at 19.
17:15And that is a career high.
17:16See, listen.
17:19That hook shot has just unlocked Anthony Gill's offense.
17:23The very next night he plays, he goes for his career high.
17:26Oh, he's on the line.
17:29Good call.
17:29Mitchell Irving right there with you, Drew.
17:31Washington basketball.
17:36Same thing.
17:37Same thing.
17:38Hey, walk.
17:41You heard Sharif Cooper there saying the same thing.
17:43So they were probably running the same set.
17:50Tenth of a second separating shot and game clock.
17:57Swings it over.
17:58Champagny.
18:00Finds Hardy.
18:01Blinds the feet.
18:05Entertaining third quarter.
18:07Philly, though, outscored Washington 47-32 in the third.
18:12We saw a career high.
18:13Back here at Capital One Arena.
18:15It's the Sixers with a 17-point lead.
18:17You should take a look at our Metro by T-Mobile.
18:19Game recap.
18:20Anthony Gill, career night for the veteran.
18:2219 points.
18:23Paul George with 39-3.
18:25And the Wizards bench is outscoring the Sixers by 22.
18:29Hedgecombe no.
18:30And it'll stay with Philly 13 on the shot clock.
18:33Excellent defense by Bob Carrington.
18:35But you were talking about Andre Drummond being one of the greatest rebounders of all time.
18:40What about Champagny on this one?
18:42Get it over Andre Drummond.
18:43He looks like, what's going on, man?
18:46Who are you?
18:48I'm the best offensive rebounder on the Wizards team.
18:50Who are you?
18:52Great stuff there.
18:54Quentin Grimes for three.
18:57Sixers tonight, 13 of 25 from downtown.
19:01That has been one of the differences.
19:07LeBray takes that rebound away from Drummond, who's shaking his head.
19:13Drummond's like, what does this league come to?
19:15No, it's called age.
19:18That's what's happening.
19:19The father time is undefeated, Drake.
19:22KO.
19:23Got that slap down by Jameer, who hit off Oubre's leg.
19:26Great defense from Jameer.
19:29That bounds.
19:30Possession to the Wizards.
19:32And I was hoping to see a couple possessions where Jameer Watkins actually had an opportunity to guard PG and
19:40see what that kind of looks like.
19:41See if he can turn that water off.
19:42Yeah.
19:43PG got going.
19:44He's just joining us.
19:4515 of 20 from the field for George.
19:47He's got 39.
19:50He's sitting on the bench to start the fourth quarter.
19:59Mitchell Irvin says, hold on.
20:01He's going to talk to Rhea Costa before making the ruling.
20:07The three was trying to tell him that was, I was going up with that.
20:10That is on the shot at him.
20:15Call that foul on the veteran campaign.
20:25Actually, they switched it.
20:27He's now on Oubre.
20:29Cherie Cooper in the line for Boston.
20:35Cherie's first field goal tonight.
20:37Got five points off the Wizards bench.
20:42And makes the second.
20:53Payne was bumped.
21:00I don't know if this has really ever happened to you out on the perimeter, but I'm curious.
21:04When you're driving like this, what's the discipline you have to have on the defensive end?
21:10Driving downhill, I mean, you're trying to play without fouling, but you don't want to give them direct line drives.
21:16You want to be able to, if they take that drive or that direct line drive, can you slide your
21:21feet, beat them to a spot, and make them have to use a counter?
21:25The great defenders can do that.
21:27Not only they can do that and cut off that drive, they can take a charge, and they can force
21:32you and contest the shot off the counter.
21:34The great defenders can do that and have multiple efforts having to guard individually.
21:42And then sometimes you might have to guard that, and then off the dump-off, have to guard the dump
21:46-off, similar to Alex Sarr.
21:47Can you do multiple things?
21:52There's Drummond in the corner again.
21:54Four man's been relegated to the corner.
21:56Knocked out a couple threes, though.
22:00Grimes.
22:00Excellent.
22:02And he cashes out the jumper.
22:03And you tip your cap right there.
22:05Full demonstration.
22:07Bubb Carrington cutting off that angle of Quentin Grimesh, forcing a contested jump shot.
22:11That's all you can do.
22:16Call pain for the foul.
22:18Now, this looks a little different.
22:20You see that?
22:22You slide the puppies to the contest, and that's all you can ask for.
22:25That's an excellent defensive possession, one-on-one.
22:28Marked it as an A-plus on the chart.
22:33Kelly Oubre fouled Champigny, who is trying to attempt that lob.
22:40Third team foul on Philly.
22:48He played two minutes here in the fourth quarter.
22:53Jameer left all alone.
22:55Tags Drummond.
22:56He's looking back at his teammates.
23:04That's one of the hardest shots in the league, that push shot right there.
23:13Let's check in with Megan.
23:15Guys, I noticed pregame that head coach of the Pitt men's basketball team, Jeff Capel, was in the building with
23:21his family.
23:21So I caught up with him.
23:23This is the first time he has been able to see Justin and Bub play in person.
23:28I asked him, when you started recruiting them, did you see this in the cards for them?
23:32With a huge smile on his face, he said, honestly, for Justin, I did it.
23:36But then he put in the work, so I'm not in the surprise.
23:39He said, for Bub, and reminder, Jason told me this story from his perspective as well, too.
23:44When we were in Cleveland, he said the first month on campus, we knew it could happen.
23:48We didn't know how fast it would happen.
23:50After that month on campus, they realized Bub in the NBA was going to happen a lot faster than they
23:56expected.
23:56And obviously, we know it was a quick one for Bub at Pitt.
23:59Well, Megan, you've got to realize this first game against North Carolina A&T,
24:03he announced himself to college basketball by recording the triple-double.
24:07So, that's what really got him going, and his confidence continued to grow.
24:11And Champagny, the former Pitt Pather, gets a layup.
24:15And not only that, I mean, when Bub Carrington, I believe his first summer league game in the NBA was
24:20a triple-double.
24:21So, he hit the ground running.
24:24He had that massive growth spurt.
24:26I talked to his high school coach when we were down in New Orleans about just how he has grown
24:30over the years.
24:32He saw the baby pictures.
24:34DJ Edgecombe for three.
24:44He was just trying to free up Hardy.
24:49Shot clock at 10.
24:52Cooper swinging it over to Carrington.
24:55All along, dowels it up.
24:58That shot right there, I mean, if it's anything that stands out above Carrington,
25:03not only does this floor leadership,
25:04but the ability to knock down that three at a high clip, one of the better shooting point guards in
25:09the league.
25:10This is why Philly's going to be scary.
25:12They've got two, three guys now that have scored 21 points or more,
25:17and none of them are named Joel Embiid as Champagny gets the foot back.
25:22George with 39 and three quarters.
25:25Edgecombe with 21 and Maxie with 28.
25:27I thought it was a blessing in disguise.
25:28I mean, Paul George being out those 25 games allowed DJ Edgecombe to be who he is,
25:33and only that allowed Paul George to heal because he was dealing with injuries.
25:37And another three knocked down by the Sixers.
25:40They're now 16 of 28.
25:45Came in 21st in the league at 35%.
25:52Another three for Bub, that's his third.
26:00And this is reminding me of 80s basketball,
26:03the way this offensive has been flowing for both teams.
26:10Anthony Gill and Will Riley to check back in.
26:17Solid minutes for Jamiro Watkins, Bub Carrington, 13.7 assists, 31 minutes.
26:36Coming up on seven minutes, Riley, that footwork sprays it out to Champagny.
26:44J.C., and he was fouled on that reverse layup attempt.
26:49See that?
26:49And when you go into that paint with force, it's tough to defend.
26:55And if you leave your feet, you are at the driver's mercy,
26:59just like Drummond on his possession.
27:01Get the contacts.
27:02It's so funny when people want to look up at the Jumbotronic themselves.
27:05Man.
27:07By the way, you know what today is, right?
27:10Somebody's birthday?
27:11No.
27:12Besides what I already know?
27:14The worst day of the year.
27:16You still mad at me?
27:17It's April Fool's.
27:20And, yeah, it was brought to my attention,
27:23something you did to me a couple of years ago.
27:27And if we get a moment here, folks, I'll share it with you.
27:31And I still love you, but.
27:33Yeah, this was this way.
27:34Chris doesn't like this day anymore.
27:37I hate April Fool's Day.
27:39He hates it.
27:40I'm sorry to put you through that.
27:47Hardee off that screen from A.G.
27:49That's tough to test.
27:51No foul call.
27:54Drummond's left behind to tie his shoe.
27:56Maxie says, no problem, but he bricks it.
28:05Coming up on six minutes, Riley.
28:09Step back three.
28:14Payne looks to Drummond, gives it back to Payne.
28:16Thought about the three, waiting for the trailing George.
28:19You know, Paul is, in this game, trying to get his 40th point.
28:23His career high is 48.
28:25I bet December the 5th, 2015, at Utah.
28:39This is our home for one, and we head to Miami in a couple of nights
28:43to see the Miami Heat, and then the Brooklyn Nets.
28:46Riley slithers his way inside.
28:49Tough to stop.
28:52Riley at 15, in the starting lineup again for Washington.
28:57George.
29:11Cooper giving tons of space.
29:16This is now 15 of 36 from downtown, as Nick Nurse calls time.
29:22It's a 9-0 run for Washington.
29:29I'm petty, uh, am I?
29:31I love it.
29:33Petty Vindergrass on full display.
29:34Can we get the Lakers address, the practice facility?
29:38We'll send it to the practice facility.
29:39No, you didn't.
29:40Have it right in his locker when he gets to practice.
29:43Just in case you forgot, right?
29:45A little G-Wiz voodoo doll.
29:50George on the drive, miss.
29:53And it'll stay with Philly.
29:57Sharif's looking over at Brian Keeves to see if he wants to challenge.
29:59We'll definitely have to send one to Robin Lopez.
30:02I wish they would have brought Robin Lopez here tonight with all the mascots.
30:06It was a great point by our producer, Rich Wolf, in our pregame meeting.
30:13First good idea he's had in about 12 years.
30:18What was the other one?
30:19I can't remember.
30:20Bono cleaned it up.
30:34141-24 Sixers.
30:36Fourth and final meeting between these two teams.
30:40Cooper gets inside, misses the left-hand layup.
30:44It'll be Sixers basketball.
30:46It's in Philadelphia.
30:47Returning for the Wizards is John Muir Watkins.
30:56John Muir into the game for Justin Champagny.
30:59JC will sit down with 17 points, seven rebounds,
31:03three on the offensive window in 21 minutes.
31:08Wizards with some solid contributions from some guys off the bench.
31:11It's him along with Anthony Gill, who had his career high tonight, 19 and counting.
31:18Edgecombe gets inside the mid-range.
31:23Edgecombe now with 23.
31:24Had a great second half.
31:27DJ Edgecombe's a little quiet in that first as Paul George had the honors,
31:31but in this second, he has been lights out.
31:35Riley over dribbled, turns it over.
31:38Barlow on the lob from Maxey.
31:40They get out quick, don't they?
31:48You rarely hear this.
31:49They're actually outrunning the Wizards.
31:5222 to 8 fast break points.
31:55That was just their 24, Chris.
32:00Cardi, one-on-one, trying to get inside, kick out the Cooper.
32:07Mitchell Irvin says they'll be Sixers basketball.
32:09Marlow's position to the 76ers.
32:23Marlow.
32:25Too easy.
32:27You see Coach Keeb is like, forget the score.
32:29I mean, let's play it out the right way.
32:33And Keeb competing to the final horn.
32:37Under three to play here in the fourth quarter.
32:39As we told you, Sharif Cooper has been mic'd up all night.
32:41Here's the final installment.
32:42It's brought to you by Robin Hood.
32:45One, two, seven, five, eight.
32:50And one.
32:54My bad, AJ.
32:55Yep, yep, yep.
32:56Oh!
33:01Oh!
33:05And one!
33:05Oh!
33:08Who you feeling like?
33:10He hot!
33:12Oh!
33:15A-D!
33:19Sharif reacted to Anthony Gill's career night.
33:24That was funny.
33:25You hear their plans?
33:26This trick is tricky.
33:32Anthony Gill, as you said, having yet another career night.
33:36And this is after this guy hooked for Anthony Gill's thousandth career point.
33:44In fact, we were talking about Kareem right before this play.
33:46Right on cue.
33:47Indeed.
33:49And then tonight, I mean, it's no looking back.
33:52Once you get a thousand, hey, young fella, go get another thousand.
33:54Or should I say OG?
33:56A young OG at 33 years of age.
33:59Anthony Gill still performing at a high level.
34:01I'm happy to see him get his opportunity because when you stay ready, you don't have to get ready.
34:07And he's been the epitome of just that.
34:10March is fantastic for him.
34:14Getting his number called.
34:16Opportunities to go out and play and compete.
34:18Still help this team as Cooper missed the layup.
34:25Watford.
34:28Getting some closeout run for Philly.
34:37He's out there with Marshawn Beauchamp.
34:43Watford gets the rebound.
34:45Watford spent some time in Portland.
34:48Brooklyn.
34:54They got guards and wings out there for the Sixers right now.
34:57And this is what he likes.
34:58He likes his mid-pulse right here.
35:00Payne with that awkward three.
35:05We're under two minutes to play.
35:12Riley attempts another three and knocks it down.
35:15And this is where Will Riley kind of gets a little sneaky.
35:18He usually has around 14, 15 points.
35:20But this is how he eclipses that 20-point stack already now.
35:2517 points.
35:2718.
35:28Here's our Nissan Road Ahead.
35:30Next five games, we're on the road for two of them.
35:33We've got the Heat, Nets.
35:34Then we come home for two against the Chicago Bulls.
35:37And then see the Miami Heat for the fourth and final time.
35:41I don't have to tell you what the storyline will be
35:44the next time we see the Miami Heat.
35:47Can I guess?
35:49Or is that what we call a tease?
35:51A tease, yes, indeed.
35:57Cameron Payne will inbound the ball for the Sixers.
36:02We're a minute and 20 seconds away
36:04from pulling off the regular season sweep.
36:07We have an update on the Capital City Go-Go.
36:09For more on that, here's Megan.
36:11Guys, as you can see, it's a four-point game right now.
36:14Actively in the third quarter.
36:15Just coming up on two minutes to go.
36:17Alondez Williams, former 10-day guy.
36:19And along with Qadari Richmond, both in double figures.
36:23Scalabicea as well, too.
36:24So the Go-Go trying to get the win.
36:26If they win, they will get the two-seed Greensboro Swarm
36:29as this playoff continues.
36:30Hopefully they can get the dub, guys.
36:32Good luck, authority.
36:33Topord and company.
36:36Justin Edwards will go to the free-throw line.
36:39We've talked about this.
36:41The synergy between the Go-Go and the Wizards.
36:44Not only do they practice in the same facility,
36:46but literally essentially run the same plays.
36:49So it was really no surprise to see a lot of the guys this season
36:52that have been called up, kind of integrate seamlessly,
36:56playing for, you know, Brian Keith.
36:58Everybody who has got the call has produced.
37:03I mean, it's not one guy that came up and had that opportunity
37:08and disappointed anybody.
37:10So that synergy is definitely there.
37:12And, I mean, it's almost to the point you wish you had 25 roster spots
37:18and all these guys could play, but it's just not like that.
37:28It's a drive by Walker is no good.
37:31Right now the Wizards have given up the most points they have all season long
37:34to the Sixers, 153 points as Cooper hits the deck.
37:44This is coming up on the Wizards post-game live.
37:49This looks like Sharif might be bleeding.
37:57It's going to take some time for him to get 10 to 2.
38:02Right.
38:04Oh, got hit there by Payne.
38:07Swiped up and got him in the face.
38:12Watch the second swipe right there.
38:20While they tend to Sharif Cooper, here's a word for MedStar.
38:27At MedStar Health, we're proud the Wizards continue to trust us
38:31as their medical team.
38:32And how we treat the pros is how we treat you.
38:35We're here for you the minute you need us.
38:39MedStar Health, it's how we treat people.
38:43So not only do we have to tend to Sharif, he was at the free throw line,
38:46but obviously there was some blood on the floor,
38:49so they will try to clean that up.
38:52Good.
39:01Sharif Cooper at the line.
39:02Washington.
39:03Completing two shots.
39:06Washington had seven players tonight in double figures.
39:10Led by Anthony Gill's career night, 21 points.
39:16The Sixers team, they are built for the playoffs, Drew.
39:20If they can stay healthy, and that's always been the question with Philly,
39:24especially as it pertains to Embiid, they are going to be a tough out
39:27because Paul George is officially back.
39:30And don't sleep on Nick Nurse.
39:31I mean, he's a proven coach, has already won a championship,
39:33so they have the firepower to compete in the Eastern Conference.
39:38Paul George in just his fourth game back after serving that 25-game suspension,
39:42goes for 39 points in 30 minutes on 15 of 22 shooting.
39:48Six of 12 from downtown.
39:49He also had six assists and five rebounds.
39:53And that will do it from here, from Capital One Arenas to Philadelphia 76ers,
39:56pull off the four-game regular season sweep,
39:59beating Washington 153-130.
