Enjoying @MikeTrudell’s pxp call of the South Bay Lakers game on @SpectrumSN. Conversational and informative. Talented guy. (Yes, I’m watching a little G League action on a Saturday night. I swear I have a life.)

New career-high for Ben Simmons, who has 34 points (12-14), 7 assists and 3 rebounds in just 26 minutes.

Matisse Thybulle rolled his right ankle and will not return to tonight's game.

The Sixers have a FOURTY ONE point lead over the Cavs at the half, 77-36.

Ben Simmons has already hit a new season-high with 26 points. He's 11-12 with 5 assists, 3 rebounds, 2 blocks & 2 steals.

Ben Simmons just knocked down is 2nd three of the season, follows it up with a two-handed slam, and he's up to 23 points.

But most importantly, @marczumoff just said, this place is LIIIIIIITTTTTTTTT!!!

Happy Bday Larry Legend!!!! Thank you for setting the tone for our position. 🙏🏾💪🏾👑. #CertifiedKiller
