It was arguably Ben Simmons‘ best game of the season as he poured in a career-high 34 points against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Dec. 8 in a 141-92 victory for the Philadelphia 76ers.
Among Simmons’ baskets was a three-pointer, his second of the season (and career).
After the game, Sixers coach Brett Brown decided it was a good time to issue a challenge to his 6-foot-10 All-Star point guard: he wanted him to attempt a three-point shot at least once a game going forward.
Actually, the way Brown phrased it, it was more like a plea (quotes courtesy of Kyle Neubeck).
