1. Simmons with 3 straight steals to win the game
This was one of my personal favorite games of the year. There’s a lot of talk that the Sixers don’t have a natural closer on the team, but this is one of several games where they closed it out with defense. Simmons locked all windows and doors on 3 straight possessions. The steals leader single handily shut down the Pacer offense in crunch time. Marc Zumoff delivered a classic at the end of this game… “He’s a thief, but in Philly, that’s legal.”
