Something interesting happened against the Clippers on Monday night. It started midway through the first quarter, when Ben Simmons cut back-door against a Clippers defender who was eyeing JJ Redick deep beyond the arc. Redick hit Simmons with an easy bounce pass and then watched the Sixers rookie rise high above the rim for a two-handed dunk.
Two observations on the play:
1) Whether one is inspecting a grapefruit at Whole Foods or a basketball after throwing down the funk on a nasty dunk, due diligence is always commendable.
