@BillyReinhardt: "Two of Ben Simmons’ most aggressive drives all year.

@SharifKeaton: "I understand that Ben Simmons is giving maximum effort on the defensive end when it comes to pressuring the basketball, but he has to stop picking up unnecessary fouls when his man is 40 feet away from the basket. He's too valuable to this Nets team right now."
