76ers' Ben Simmons on rare 3-point attempt: 'I'm getting there'

PHILADELPHIA -- The Philadelphia 76ers made almost 58 percent of their shots in Sunday's 143-120 win over the Los Angeles Lakers, but the most discussed shot after the game was one that didn't go in.

That would be the 3-pointer Ben Simmons took less than a minute into the third quarter of Sunday's blowout win for the Sixers, their second in a row with their new-look starting five. But, given the potential ramifications for this team if it ever becomes a regular occurrence, it also arguably could have been the most important one they took all game.
