In great difficulty, the Wizards are on the verge of elimination against the Sixers after another defeat. Even before the result, Ben Simmons did not hesitate to make fun of Russell Westbrook, as if to send a serious message.
Not favorites at the time of starting this first round of the playoffs, the Wizards unfortunately confirm their status. Three games, and the franchise still hasn’t managed to get a win against the Sixers, far too strong for them at this point. It is greatly complicated for the teammates of Bradley Beal, who could well take a sweep.
A scenario that Russell Westbrook would like to avoid and yet, nothing to do this Saturday evening as the men of Doc Rivers were too powerful. They end with a new victory by the score of 132-103, leaving fear the worst for the future.
Even on the floor, Westbrook took a nasty troll, all signed Ben Simmons. In confidence, the Australian finished with 14 points to 7/10 shooting, including a basket on the head to Russ. Too easy for him, so he did not hesitate to send a message to his evening opponent.

“Too small” is the simple message Simmons sent Westbrook. Unfortunately for him, the latter did not have the opportunity to answer him in the wake, and the Wizards continue to dig in this first round. It is clear that it will be difficult to avoid the sweep.
For the 76ers, however, everything is rolling. The franchise has shown great strength since the start of the postseason, and Joel Embiid has never looked so strong, he who planted 36 points last night. It might be the year for Philly.
Too easy for Ben Simmons, who had no trouble scoring Russell Westbrook. If the Wizards are still dreaming of creating a huge feat, it may take some effort in defense.
