@Gmona48: "Stat line won’t pop out but a very good game for Ben Simmons.

Solid defense, solid rebounding and some different offense (fadeaway and hook shot)"

@JayDhaul: "Ben Simmons fade away! The league isn't ready for his resurgence! His confidence is slowly coming back here, now he can really draw more defenders towards him and get everyone easier looks including himself. Amir killing it 😆"
