Warriors too good for Ben

-

BEN Simmons and his emerging 76ers have felt the might of NBA champions Golden State Warriors.

Simmons and the 76ers matched the Warriors in the first half in Oakland yesterday to raise expectatio­ns of another triple double for the 21year-old Australian. The Warriors snuffed the prospect out early in the second half and won 135-114.

“It does seem like teams come after us early,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. “Everybody wants to knock us down and then it seems things settle.”
