Ben Simmons lets loose a primal scream after throwing down a dunk in the 76ers’ win over the Pistons. Whatever questions surrounded Ben Simmons after his one year at LSU, nobody ever doubted the Australian playmaker’s talent. The big question, after a should-have-been rookie year scuttled by a foot injury, was how long it would take the 6-foot-10 point forward to start showing why the Philadelphia 76ers selected him with the first overall pick in the 2016 NBA draft.

In a much-anticipated matchup Monday night featuring two elite centers, it was the Sixers' big man Joel Embiid who stood above the rest.

An ongoing problem for the Minnesota Timberwolves over multiple years has been a bad record in close games. There is a lot of random chance influence in close games, and the Wolves have seemed particularly unfortunate. That run continued into this season, with the Wolves having dropped a close one to the Spurs on opening night. But things changed for at least a night on Sunday. Go watch the final 8.9 seconds of the Wolves' game against the Thunder in Oklahoma City. With the Wolves up by two and 8.9 seconds left coming out of a timeout, Russell Westbrook sets up Carmelo Anthony for a buttery three. Swish. But there are five seconds left on the clock for Minnesota. Andrew Wiggins gets it, gets Continue to Article
