Ben Simmons stands out in Sixers' win over the Miami Heat

After Joel Embiid stole the show in the Sixers' game against the Brooklyn Nets, it was Ben Simmons who carried the Sixers in their 119-95 win over the Miami Heat. Simmons finished with 19 points on 9-11 shooting, seven rebounds, and five assists. It was far and away his most complete and efficient performance on the offensive end.

Simmons opened the game up by running a pick-and-roll with Embiid, but instead of attacking the rim, he pulled up from the elbow and knocked down his first jump shot of the preseason. He did unintentionally bank the shot in, but they all count the same.
