NBA Playoffs 2018-19: 3 Talking points from Toronto Raptors vs Philadelphia 76ers - Game 6

#3 Ben Simmons found his long-lost aggressiveness in Game 6. But is it too little too late?

Ben Simmons is averaging 13.3 ppg in the playoffs this year.

Ben Simmons is the piece of the puzzle that was missing all throughout the series for Philadelphia. He scored 10 or fewer points in four of the first five contests, exhibiting an uncharacteristic absence of aggression. However, he broke out of his shell in Game 6 to put together a 21 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists(on 9-of-13 shooting) performance and save his team from elimination.

"What he(Simmons) did today was lot of the reasons he was an NBA All-Star at age 22," Coach Brown said.

He attacked the rim at multiple occassions and bounced back to play his natural game which compensates for his lack of shooting range pretty comprehensively. With just one more clash remaining, Simmons' resurgence is pivotal to Philly's success considering his primary ball handling role. Looking at the way his game is shaping up to be, the Sixers can be a lethal force in the near future.
