Elf Beauty is a huge success story, but did you know they believe their success is in part due to the diversity of their board and the data backs them up? The not-so-white paper, created in collaboration with North Carolina A&T, connects the dots between diverse corporate boards and positive results, which can include a higher return on equity, better price-to-earnings ratios, and even fewer discrimination lawsuits.

Maxie Doubleton, oh baby, you love to beat on the back down against women. You're in your powers by a pet slam zone. The 76ers post-game show right now are 97-5 the fanatic. Well, the Kings closed the game with 15 straight points and beat the Sixers in Sacramento 113-107. The Sixers were scoreless over that final 334 of the fourth quarter after leading by nine. They were tied in this game at halftime, but at times had their largest lead of the game was 14 in the first half and it was all Kings late and the Sixers though for that matter in the second half controlled this score around the double digit mark. I mentioned that nine-point lead in the fourth going into the fourth. It was 89-80 Philadelphia, but again, the final score Sacramento 113 Philadelphia 107 in California to snap the Sixers for game winning streak. This is our 76ers Parks Casino post-game show. I'm Matt Murphy. We'll join back up with Tom McGinnis. We'll hope to hear from Sixers head coach Nick Nurse and we're going to do that right now if they lose without MB'd, Ubray, and others. Lots of bumping, hardening, taking us off our line, playing a little pinball with Tyreece one way than the other. Tough for those guys to finish. Some of those didn't handle the double teams very well. Didn't get the ball out and attack enough out of those and then just didn't make some shots. Well, it's difficult just in general because I have to go look at those again, but as the game was going on, all of them were so touchy. You know, he got the two and the second one he got I think was not on him. It was on the other guy and ends up with him and then we got to take him out. And again, I thought he made a couple plays that look the same vertical at the rims that were getting called files in the last three or four minutes on him to get him his last couple. Yeah. Before that down the stretch, obviously ends up with 30 points. Just what was kind of opening up for him offensively during the most of the game? Yeah, I mean, he had, you know, a lot of similar looks that he's been having, obviously just hit some more. A little bit more higher shot volume, obviously tonight. There's, you know, a big chunk of our offense missing. So some of those shots get distributed around. But yeah, he played a good game. We got got him up a little bit late. But again, that was that was playing through some physicality. Again, couldn't thought he got knocked down a couple of times, couldn't couldn't get to the free throw line, which surprised me. It takes, you know, 20 shots and a bunch of drives and ends up shooting four free throws for the night. So it was tough. Lift that. I mean, you had 30 bench points, but particularly the lift that Eric gave you guys off the bench after a weird couple days for him. Just maybe what, what did you see out of him that kind of gave left and open person shots. Yeah, I thought we got good, really good production out of those out of the bench. You know, I think drum, Eric, both were outstanding, you know, big, big impacts from both of those guys coming in. I thought Reggie was solid in there too. Stuck a shot. So yeah, I mean, we were obviously trying to piece it together to get to the half and we kind of had an up and down half, but we were pretty good shape minutes-wise. Yeah, so it was good. We need those guys to step up and they did. Yeah, I mean, even getting Justin Edwards some first half minutes would give you the confidence to go with him. Yeah, again, I just think we're at the stage. You know, when we're down a couple guys, obviously Kelly out today that we needed another wing minutes there and just kind of what we brought him here for is to give him a chance to get out there and see how he fits in. Those guys, it was only five minutes, but it was solid. Yeah. Is this the type of game or where you're glad you played tomorrow to sort of just try to get some things right or how do you know about that? Yeah, I mean, listen, it's too bad because we play really, really, really good tonight. We did. We played really, really good for 45 minutes, right? Obviously, really, really got away from us there in the last three, but again, going to happen. Don't get some breaks. I think a lot of breaks went their way, going to happen sometimes, right? But you know, I'm always, I'm always analyzing how did we play and I think we played pretty good. Yep. Thank you. All right. That's six. Just coach Nick Nurse. Murph will send it back to you. Right. Thanks, Tom. Sixters fall in Sacramento 113, 107 through the Kings. That's their first loss on this road trip that was broken up after the Christmas win over Boston, but then they went out to Utah, Portland, now Sacramento, the front end of a back to back here with Golden State. So we will talk about that because that is a quick turnaround to play the Warriors who will be well rested. But this is, this is our Parks Casino post game show after this Kings game. Sixers fall 113, 107, despite 30 points from Paul George, 27 from Tyrese Maxie. Darren Fox led all scores with 35 in the game. No Joelle and Bead for the Sixers. No Kelly Ubray, Jr. either. So Yabu Sele started at center Kyle Lowry started in the back court with Tyrese Maxie. And Tom, I guess just overall your, your takeaways from this game as we put a bow on it because of what happened down the stretch. I guess your, your perspective on how the nine point lead, I know you talked a lot about it during the live action, but the nine point lead evaporated with three minutes and 34 seconds left. The Sixers didn't score and gave up 15. Yeah, they just kind of crumbled down the stretch. It just, you know, their defense picked up. They were playing off the crowd. It got really loud in here. You know, and it's everything's going against you. And that's when you need to make a play. And tonight the Sixers were unable to do it. They were double covering, you know, when Maxie turned the corner, that makes it tough. And, and Paul, George kind of, let's be honest, ran out of steam a little bit, I think. He didn't score in the fourth quarter. And he, he fouled out. So 30 points all in the first three quarters. Right. No, no doubt. And he was brilliant. That's the best we've seen him so far, except down the stretch, you know, where, you know, you got to be able to execute. And that's, that's what all the practice situations like this all the time. And you could feel it coming and you just needed to play or two to break it up. But not just offensively, certainly that, but you needed to stop them too. And, you know, that combination of monkey on Ellis finally hit a big three. He was taking open threes. They were giving him open threes. That is not the strength of his game. I mean, I say that and shoot 42% from three. But, you know, I think it's a bit of an anomaly. He's more of a defensive type player. But they had, they had a big shot. You know, some bonus wasn't as big of a factor. And I say that and he had 21 rebounds. Let's look real quick here at Ellis. Now he's having a great year. I mean, like 41 of 97 from three coming in. So that's not a small sample size. He had tonight. He shot eight. So he's well over a hundred threes. But that's not what you think of. You know, when you think of his game or whatever. But no, it was a tough one. Really hard loss for the Sixers. And certainly again, like to come in here and play with the spunk and the fire and the way they were playing with with the veteran guys in Gordon and Jackson and Drummond contributing and even, you know, as they talked about, Justin Edwards, Max, he having a huge second half. It's just a hard game. Like you said, now you've got to come back and ramp up and do it again tomorrow against the Warriors team that, you know, despite being 500 and some of their recent struggles, that's not an easy game. You go in there and face curry and drain mine green and company Kings in their 113 107 comeback win front end of a back-to-back. Now it's golden state. So the Sixers do have a chance to get back out there. You hope that Embiid plays this second one and and you can try to keep the momentum that you had. It's not all lost after after one game. But you're playing a golden state team that yes, they're they have had two nights off, but they just lost to Cleveland and pretty much everybody's losing to Cleveland. They played them on Monday. So curry and they've been a shrewder now after a trade. Kaminga's been playing well off the bench and I wouldn't expect the Warriors to come out and shoot 23% 24% from three again the way the Cleveland defended them. So it's going to be a tough tough back-to-back always is on the road against the Warriors. The only saving grace is you get on a bus and you go down there and you know, it's not going to be three in the morning this time. You know what I'm saying? Like it is the bus common for for this type of thing. Yeah, it's only a 90-minute drive. It won't be that crowded. So yeah, it's not it's not unlike somebody going to 30th Street and taking the train in New York after playing the Sixers or people bus from South Philly to New York. So it's not, you know, brutal, burdensome travel. But nonetheless, it's a back-to-back and it'll be a late night. You know, these guys aren't going to be able to just tucker in it, you know, 12, 15 Pacific time. So yeah, this is going to take a little bit. This is like the whole, you know, rest, rehydration, all those things are big. But you also got to wash it, wash this away at a certain point and then focus on tomorrow. That's, that's, I think that's what I found for these guys. Like, this is going to marinate a little bit, but then at a certain point, you got to gear up and turn the page. And like Coach said, there's a lot of positives, but this without doubt is a game that the Sixers let slip away. If they had held on to the nine point lead late and won the game, they would have finally, we've been talking about it in the pregame show. They would have moved into one of those playing tournament spots above Chicago, but they stay 11th in the East after this loss to Sacramento. The Warriors will be well rested. They're in the middle of a six game homestead and they won't have had a game for two nights before hosting the Sixers tomorrow. We'll talk then, Tom. Thank you so much. Wait. Are you the play in? There's still three that I had once. I'm standings watching. I'm watching the live standings on the NBA app and the Sixers would have moved in above that cut line and 10 and 11 cut line tonight. A 113 107 loss for the Sixers to the Sacramento Kings who, yes, they had lost five straight home games before this and then one away from home before or no, they lost a five game homestead in its entirety before winning a home game Monday against the Mavericks without six players, but they have some energy, some life around their interim head coach Doug Christie, who is now two and one since taking over for Mike Brown. And Sabonis has had multiple 20 rebound games now, 21 a game high, his seven assists to game high with 17 points against NMB'd less Sixers lineup. So the Kings are 15 and 19 and the Sixers are 13 and 18 heading into that matchup against the 16 and 16 Golden State Warriors. We will have audio highlights from this game. We will also take a deeper look at the box score, some team perspective, team stats and our stat of the game when we come back after this 6.6ers loss on the 76ers parks casino post game show. Elf Beauty is a tremendous success story. There's no denying that amazing eyes, lips and face products, a devoted and savvy customer base and visionary leadership have all played an undeniable role, but Elf Beauty also credits their diverse board. It's all spelled out in the "not so white" paper, which connects the dots between diverse corporate boards of directors and positive results. Created in collaboration with North Carolina A&T, it includes enlightening tidbits, such as companies that had boards with greater gender diversity saw a 15 percent return on equity and a 50 percent reduction in earnings risk over one year. That's not all. Women on boards correlate to better price-to-earnings ratios, and not surprisingly, more diverse boards are less likely to get hit with large-scale discrimination lawsuits. But perhaps the best argument of all is Elf Beauty's track record of 23 straight quarters of growth, and of course, their board is the model of corporate diversity. The paper is a fantastic read. Find it at elfbeauty.com/notsowhitepaper. So it will not be a perfect road trip for the Philadelphia 76ers who still have a couple more games to play on it. They squander a double-digit lead in the fourth quarter. They fall to the Sacramento Kings 113-107 after wins in Boston, in Utah, and in Portland, and they had won three straight overall or four straight overall coming in, including that San Antonio game at home. But without Embiid, Ubre, McCain, and KJ Martin, they lose by six to the Kings, and they did not score in the final three minutes and 34 seconds. It was a 15-nothing Kings run to end this ball game. This is our 76ers Parks Casino post-game show on Matt Murphy. We'll have highlights here in a second after the Sixers fall to 13 and 18, and the Kings improve to 15 and 19. De Aaron Fox was the leading scorer 35 points in the game. Sixers got a team high 30 points from Paul George plus eight rebounds, five assists and a blocked shot, but he fouled out late, did not score in the fourth quarter. Turnovers were also a problem for George and the Sixers in the fourth nine of their 19 turnovers were in that fourth quarter. Many of them contributing to that late Kings surge. Maxie had 27 for the Sixers, second to Paul George, and a game high five steals as well. He led them in assists with six, but it was subonus with game highs for assists and rebounds. Seven assists, 21 rebounds and 17 points for De Montes subonus. Our stat of the game would be that 15-0 closing run for the Sacramento Kings. But let's hear how this game sounded as called by Tom McGinnis, the Sixers Kings in Sacramento, Sixers in white uniforms, Kings in the purple and black, and it's the short-handed Sixers against a Kings team that had lost six of their last seven, but they had one on Monday at home against Dallas and they were the Sixers were without Embiid Oubre, KJ Martin, Jared McCain, as mentioned, the starting lineup was Kyle Lowry alongside Tyrese Maxie. Paul George, Caleb Martin and Gershan Yabusele in for Embiid. Paul George had 14 points in the first quarter. He also had the first basket of the game for the Sixers to take a three-two lead, but it wasn't as easy as that score suggests Tyrese Maxie had to dive on the scorer's table, jump on the scorer's table to save it to Yabusele and then to George. Maxie having to play off the scorer's table to save it does it. He goes to Paul George who hits his first three and the first basket of the game for the Sixers is 14-3 of the year. And with that, the Sixers leave a Tyrese saved a bad pass and after handling the ball, throwing it back, it'll land on a scorer's table. He jumped back into play. But again, a huge first quarter for George, 14 points. DeMantis, the bonus of Sacramento, had eight points and eight rebounds in the opening quarter and he gets the ball to Malik Monk for an eight-point Kingsley. Sixes, one to five from three. Sebonas down the court and a drive by Monk is good. What a play by DeMantis, Sebonas. He threw at the length of the court. The Sixers are going to get a timeout. Monk made a catch and then scored an acropatic layup on Lowry. Sixers still led by five though. 30-25, they overcome a first quarter deficit to take a five-point lead into the second quarter. Paul George was fouled shooting a three at the end of the first to get to 14 points and to make the game a five-point lead for the visiting Sixers. Eric Gordon had a big second quarter in his return to the lineup. He was on the defensive end blocking the shot and then quickly got the ball back for a timeout forcing layup. Here's a long one by Monk but it's blocked by Gordon. Now a leak out Eric Gordon has it. He goes in and he lays it up on the left hand and a timeout taken by Doug Christie. Eric Gordon deflected the long shot by Monk and then he ran towards the offensive end. The Sixers got the ball and advanced it to him, drumming through it down the court and Eric Gordon with a finger roll. 43-34, Sixers, 11 of Gordon's 14 points were in the first half. Monk who had his shot blocked but that basket we played from the first quarter, he had 20 points for the Kings, 10 of which came on a perfect 10 for 10 at the free throw line. Kings were 22 of 24 at the line, only 14 attempts for the Sixers who also only missed two, 12 for 14. 43-34 after the Eric Gordon layup forced the Doug Christie timeout. He is the Kings interim head coach like Brown was let go on Friday. Christie is 2-1 at the helm with wins over the Mavs and Sixers now. Late third actually the late second the last play of the second quarter was during a massive Kings run after the Sixers extended their lead to as many as 14. The Kings tied it at 54 on a Keyon LS3, 17-3 scoring run for the home team and then at the buzzer, Dearrin Fox just got the shot off straight away 3 to put the exclamation point on an overall run of 20-6 to tie the game at half. Subonents with it but then he runs in the mid-court and he traveled and got away with it. Over to Lyles for 3, no good, Subonents, tips it. One second, Fox puts it up and it's good. Is it going to count? We'll find out Dearrin Fox at the buzzer, put it in. They're going to review this but it was called good on the court tie score 57-0. Dearrin Fox 35 points 2 for 4 from 3, tied it going to the halftime locker room at 57. It was called good on the floor. It was confirmed good. They only went 9 for 31 from 3, 29% and the Sixers were 37.5%, 15-40. Sixers went from beyond the arc. 3rd quarter, skipping ahead mid-3rd as this is where Paul George went a couple threes in this quarter as well. This is where he hits the 30-point mark in the 3rd quarter. He looked comfortable on the wing, another right-wing triple. It is a 3-point game, 79-76, George for 3 and that's good. Wow. Paul George, 4 for 5 from 3, 30 points, far and away the game's leading score, 6 is back in front. 82, back in front, 82-76. Paul George and Tyrese Maxie scored double digits in the 3rd. It was 10 for Paul George and then here's Maxie. This would give us the score after 3. Late 3rd, Tyrese Maxie goes left of the lane and right around Kevin Herder. Herder on the drive. Her into the lane. Sabona's tipped away by Paul George and stolen. Sabona's couldn't seal Paul George. Maxie on the move. Maxie down the lane. Maxie in the lane. Around Liles it in. What a play by Maxie. Left-hand layup. He's become extraordinary with the offhand as well. 18 for Tyrese, 15 now in the quarter. 89-80, the score through 3. Tyrese Maxie, 12 in the 3rd, is 10th straight 20-point game tonight. He ends with 27 because he kept it going into the 4th as the Sixers force the Kings time out. It's Maxie on the side logo. Crowd thought Drummond fouled. Maxie, D3 from the logo. It's good. He rattles in a trifecta and the Kings take time. Doug Christie is hot. The Sixers get a 3 to lead. 99-92. 7-point lead for Maxie in the Sixers. He extended his franchise record streak for games with at least 3-3 pointers to 10 in a row on that one after surpassing Jared McCain in the last game for the franchise record. Later in the 4th, a big sequence with less than 2 minutes left as the Kings are back in it. Paul George and the Sixers a shot clock violation. He didn't score in the 4th. He tried to pass it as the shot clock expired and it resulted in the ball passed to Sacramento's Keon Ellis down the other end. And now to the left side. Here's Keon Ellis again for 3. This time it's in. He has struggled all game, but he pours into 3 and it's a 2-point game. 107-105, the Sixers still lead, but Sacramento with the momentum. 107-105, Sixers, Kings cut it to 1 possession to a 2-point game. All 8 of Ellis's field goal attempts were from 3 in this game. He made 3 of them. He had 6 stocks, 4 steals and 2 blocks with his 9 points and 38 minutes as a starter for the Sacramento Kings. Tamar DeRozan tied it at 107 after Maxi turned it over. They blitzed him in the pick and roll with two defenders. So 107-107, the go ahead basket that really swung the momentum was a goal 10. Malik Monk got the 2 points on his 20-point night. 109-107 DeRozan had 18. Monk had 20. Fox had 35. Sabonis with the 17 points. 21 rebounds as discussed. So 109-107 was their first lead since the opening minute of the third quarter. A Paul George turnover resulted in Malik Monk getting fouled. His free throws made it 111-107 and then Lowry's side out of bounds. Pass picked off. DeRozan free throws, final score, Sacramento 113, Philadelphia 107 and a 15-0 closing run for the home kings who light the beam, their victory celebration. So a tough, tough, tough finish for the Sixers to end this game to say the least and plenty to clean up when they face Golden State tomorrow. Taking that 89-80 lead into the fourth and then with a technical free throw, that's how they got a double-digit fourth quarter lead. There was a technical at the end of the third. So Eric Gordon's one point at the line got tacked on to the total to begin the fourth. So it was the Sixers 90, the kings 80 and then the kings all the way back in it. But it was still Sixers by nine as Tom mentioned, as I talked about with him, Maxi's layup with 334 left made it 107-98 Sixers and they didn't score after that and the kings win it 113-107. Went through some of the shooting, I went through the free throws in the three-point overall, Sixers shot 47.6% on 84 attempts and the kings very similar. They took 84 shots. They made one more field goal, 41 of 84. That's 49%. And the Sixers made six more threes but 10 fewer free throws because they attempted 10 fewer and they fall 113-107. They will remain 13th in the Eastern Conference even though Chicago lost to the wizards who are last in the East. The Bulls will stay in the play in tournament which is 7, 8, 9 and 10. Slightly better winning percentage than the Sixers but if the Sixers had held on they would have jumped into that play in tournament picture which is how they entered the playoffs last year to meet the Knicks by beating the heat in the play in tournament. But like Tom said, a lot of time left for these standings to shake out just thought it was interesting since we had been talking so much about how they're right there. After the 3-14 start they're a half game out, they're a game and a half out of this and that and they would have gotten there if this one had ended how it looked like it was going but it didn't Sacramento 113 Philadelphia 107. This has been the 76ers post game show presented by Parks Casino thanks to our producers Matt Menaric and Austin Jones and of course Tom again is on the call. The next Sixers game don't have to wait long. Tomorrow night in San Francisco another 10 p.m. Eastern road start against the Warriors on a back-to-back. Our coverage here on the Sixers radio network presented by Jackpot City Casino will again begin at 950 Eastern. Until then I'm Matt Murphy saying thanks so much for listening. We're back tomorrow or I guess later today on the East Coast take care.
