@AlexGuerin1: “Ben Simmons finally gets points with under 6 minutes left. A Christmas miracle!(?)”
@Atrain023: “Ben Simmons wants nothing to do with that ball. He waits to cut, he goes out of his way to set screens and when he does get it he rifles it at his teammates.”
@RealEricAdamcik: “Ah yes, the rare game with a simultaneous Ja Morant triple-double watch,
And a Ben Simmons triple-single watch.”
@nets_world72380: “Ben Simmons the only nets player to play tonight with 0 points
However he has the third best plus minus of all nets at -1 behind Milton and Clowney.”
@Jersey2Brooklyn: “Ben Simmons’ value is making other players shine ✨”
