Sixers, Raptors stunned in playoff upsets

The Nets were also reliant on a big performance from their bench, with three players delivering double-digit displays to boost their offense. But it was a disappointing outing for Australian star Ben Simmons, who was restricted to just nine points for Philadelphia. “The fact that it’s after every single miss,” he said. “Every missed shot, then you get booed. You get the next one and you think ‘Should I shoot it or not because I’m about to get booed?’“But team-mate Simmons risked the wrath of Philadelphia’s support by lashing fans who booed.

“I understand it. They want to see us win. I want to see us win, too,” Butler said. “We just gotta do better. I guarantee if we’re winning they’re not booing. That’s how we change it. Just got to go out there and win on Monday.”
