TORONTO - Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons may not have lit up the scoreboard as he would have liked but the towering Aussie did get some measure of revenge on Toronto Raptors defensive supremo Kawhi Leonard on Monday.
“As far as Kawhi’s brilliance, he’s really, really good we all get that,” Sixers head coach Brett Brown told reporters. With Leonard as his primary defender in Game Two, Simmons managed just six points and committed four turnovers, but his defensive work on the Raptors forward during the opening two quarters proved critical in his team’s victory.
Simmons’ struggles when going up against Leonard, a former NBA Finals Most Valuable Player, are nothing new and the topic has been dissected ever since the Sixers secured their spot in the second round of the playoffs.
