Watch: Ben Simmons picks Luka's pocket, finds KD for game-tying dunk

By Sean Keane | Last updated 10/27/22

Ben Simmons passed off in crunch time again. This time, it turned into a dunk.

Simons showed the defensive skills that put him on the All-Defensive First Team in 2020 and 2021, stealing the ball from Luka Doncic with 12 seconds remaining. He then found a sprinting Kevin Durant for a thunderous game-tying dunk.

When Brooklyn forced Reggie Bullock into an errant three-pointer at the buzzer, the game went to overtime. Through four quarters, Simmons had seven points, three steals, and three assists - the biggest swipe and dime happening at the biggest possible moment.
