Attractive return of Ben Simmons against the Lakers

“Ben Simmons With A Monster Dunk!” » We didn’t think we’d hear this phrase again, and yet, Ben Simmons crushed a big dunk, enough to shake the basket, during the meeting between the Lakers and the Nets.

For his big return to the field, the Australian leader confirmed that he had regained all his physical qualities with this dunk, but also speed in the game, and no apprehension in his movements.

Like on the Nets’ first basket when he overwhelmed LeBron James to score with a right hand with a “hook shot”. We again saw him shy in attacking the circle, but overall, there are only positives to take from his performance, and he finished with 10 points and 3 assists on 4 of 6 shots in 14 minutes.

From this victory for the Lakers (129-126), we will also remember the correct return of LeBron James (10 points, 5 assists and 3 rebounds in 14 minutes), but also and above all the duel between Austin Reaves and Cam Thomas. The two will set fire at the end of the 3rd quarter with five 3-point baskets in a row! It is Christian Wood who will referee their duel to allow the Lakers to win 129-126.
