Many people reacted to his performance on social media.

@TheSkinnyIK: "Ben Simmons has been rock solid defensively"

@APH00PS: "Ben Simmons’ ability to track down rebounds while the shot is still in the air is so underrated"

@clipfullyloaded: "The addition of Ben Simmons has been huge for the clippers

He played 13 minutes tonight all at center which allowed Zu ample rest as Zu played the other 35 rather than playing 40+ min

It also allows Batum to play in his best role at the 4

Simmons was a +17 in only 13 minutes"
