Sunday 7 April 2019 07:53, UK
Ben Simmons teed up fellow Philadelphia 76ers All-Star Joel Embiid for a stunning alley-oop during a victory over the Chicago Bulls on Saturday night.
With the Sixers leading late in the first half, Embiid faked to set a screen before rolling to the rim where Simmons picked him out for an emphatic one-handed finish.
It was the highlight play of a 20-point, 10-rebound showing from the center, who has now registered a double-double in each of his past 20 appearances.
Simmons had 14 points, four rebounds and four assists, as the Sixers continued to gear up for the playoffs, which start next weekend.
The 116-96 win helped the Sixers (50-30) reach the 50-win mark for a second straight season, and moved them two games ahead of the Boston Celtics for the Eastern Conference third seed with two games remaining.
