Watch: Ben Simmons embarrasses Clippers with slick inbounds play
Ben Simmons put the finishing touches on the Philadelphia 76ers’ win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday night, and he did so by embarrassing his opponent in a way we don’t often see.
With 15 seconds remaining and the 76ers leading 117-113, the Clippers were looking to either steal the inbound pass from Simmons or — at the very least — immediately foul whichever Philly player the ball went to. The problem, however, was Clippers guard Sindarius Thornwell turned his back to Simmons. That allowed this to happen:

That’s just cold. The basket gave the Sixers a 119-113 lead, and that was all she wrote.
