Ben Simmons and Jimmy Butler lead Sixers to series changing victory in Toronto

TORONTO - Ball movement. Transition defence. Physical disposition. All in all, just doing a better job. During a loud two days for the Philadelphia 76ers following their Game 1 loss in Toronto, a handful of basketball catchcries defined the discourse coming out of the organisation. Ben Simmons called for a more physical approach to defending Kawhi Leonard, after the three time All-Star shredded Philadelphia with one of the most clinical scoring displays the NBA has seen this decade. Brett Brown flagged changes to the team’s defensive scheme. “It’s all on the table,” Brown said of his team’s defensive game plan in the lead up to Game 2. James Ennis theorised the Sixers must show Leonard and Pascal Siakam, who was equally transcendent in Game 1, more bodies in an attempt to curtail their impact. Jimmy Butler said he must stop gambling. Joel Embiid admitted he needed to be better.
