NBA x NBL: Ben Simmons puts on a show against Melbourne United

Ben Simmons has shown no mercy to Melbourne United by putting on a show in the Philadelphia 76ers' demolition of the visiting Australians.

The 76ers opened the NBA pre-season with a 104-84 win in Philadelphia on Friday in the first of a week of clashes between NBA and NBL teams in the US and Canada.

Melbourne-born Simmons, the reigning NBA Rookie of the Year, performed spectacular passes, dunks and athletic defensive plays and fell just short of a triple-double despite 76ers coach Brett Brown resting him for the final quarter.
