The Brooklyn Nets had no answer for Philadelphia 76ers point guard Ben Simmons Monday afternoon as the 23-year old put together a historic performance at the Barclays Center.
In a 117-111 76ers win, Simmons recorded a triple-double with 34 points, 12 rebounds and 12 assists.
With this stat line, the former top overall draft pick became the first player in NBA history to have a 30-point triple-double with five steals while shooting at least 80 percent in the same game.
