Ben Simmons scored a triple-double of 10 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists for the Brooklyn Nets in the opener of a five-game trip on Tuesday night against the San Antonio Spurs.
“Obviously it’s frustrating to pick up your fourth. I think it’s a game of runs. … I don’t think we managed it well. We needed to get stops and that’s where we flourish, getting stops, getting out in transition. Too many fouls, too many turnovers, no transition which is really what the game was,” Simmons said.
“As a competitor, I want to stay in the game regardless if I got four because I got two more to give. So I kind of want that trust in coach for him to just leave me out there. I’ve been in situations where I’ve had four fouls, and you’ve got to trust your guys. So … yeah.”
