Ben Simmons had eight points, eight rebounds and seven assists in this third NBA Summer-League game, but the Golden State Warriors topped his Philadelphia 76ers, 85-77, in Las Vegas on Tuesday night.
Simmons dazzled for stints during this game.
The No. 1 overall pick demonstrated fantastic ball-handling skills and incredible floor vision, delighting the crowd with no-look passes and through-the-leg dribbles both in transition and in the half-court set.
Simmons also had a monster putback dunk in the first quarter that sent onlookers into a frenzy.
He still struggled shooting the ball, going just 3-of-8 and missing badly on some jump shots, but his overall potential was on full display.
Christian Wood had a heck of a night for the 76ers, dropping 22 points off of 8-of-12 shooting.
Royce O'Neal and Keifer Sykes led the Warriors with 16 points apiece.
Patrick McCaw, a second-round pick, had 11 points off a 5-of-8 clip.
