Australian basketball sensation Ben Simmons has achieved another coveted double-double and hit clutch free throws to guide the Philadelphia 76ers to a win over the Los Angeles Clippers.

The 76ers won a close encounter 109-105 yesterday in Los Angeles after trailing the Clippers by six points in the fourth quarter.

Simmons, who has been breaking all sorts of records, had 22 points and 12 rebounds, his eighth doubledouble in just his first 13 games in the NBA.
