Tonight, the Sixers defeated the visiting Dallas Mavericks, 111-97. The Sixers’ bench played well enough that none of the team’s starters logged a minute in the 4th quarter.
Here are some thoughts on how each player played tonight for Philly (save for the final few garbage-time minutes).
Ben Simmons: Really nice game from Ben. He only finished with 15 points (in 3 quarters, I remind you), but he was aggressive once again. The big story was his defense on Luka Doncic, which was incredible. Doncic went off whenever he was lucky enough to get a switch so Ben wasn’t his nearest defender, but he couldn’t do anything with Ben on him.
