KD on Simmons: “Incredible. Just happy for him, because he’s been trying to figure his rhythm out. Tonight, I think he did a good job of … commanding the offense, commanding the team on the defensive side of the ball. He controlled the game and was able to get us back into it.”

Nets get a huge win against a good Blazers team. Ben Simmons’ best game of the season. Team has rallied around the coach. Kyrie Irving soon to return.
If there was a time to turn it around…

I’ve been critical of Ben Simmons so far this season
He was very good tonight and was a main reason why the Nets won
