A spirited Philadelphia 76ers team spoiled Ben Simmons' homecoming with a win over the Nets on Tuesday night.
"I feel like I'm in a good place," Simmons said."I'm happy. I do what I love. To be out there and having that experience was amazing."
Sixers fans were mostly well-behaved — save for a couple of short-lived" Ben Simmons!" chants — and mostly saved the four-letter words for tape on the back of their old No. 25 jerseys. "I thought he was in attack mode, he was aggressive, showed a lot of poise through the course of the night," Vaughn said."The experience to get through and get it behind him, really good."
