But Simmons hasn&#8217;t gotten too high over streaks, just as he hasn&#8217;t gotten too low during previous struggles. It&#8217;s a lesson he learned by comparing and contrasting the 76ers teams he asked to trade.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I know it&#8217;s been a long year, so I don&#8217;t get too carried away,&#8221; said Simmons, who had two points, three rebounds and two assists in 19 minutes.  &#8220;My experience in Philadelphia was that we had a young team, people who weren&#8217;t used to being in the league for a long time, who didn&#8217;t know how to win, who didn&#8217;t know it wasn&#8217;t easy to win. I was there.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have a lot of veterans on our team. Ky, Kev, they&#8217;re just that kind of people and it&#8217;s game-by-game and they understand that they don&#8217;t get too hung up on the noise.

That was also the league top record for the month. 15 wins in last 16 games, 18 wins in last 21 games.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n<p>Center Nick Claxton set a career-high six blocks in two straight games. He is the first player to register six blocks in back-to-back games since Brook Lopez on the Bucks in January 2020, and Sean in November 1996. He is the first net player since Bradley.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n<p>Joe Harris has missed four games in a row with a sore left knee, but he appears on pace to return to the Spurs for Monday&#8217;s home game.<\/p>\n<p>Director Jack Vaughan said, &#8220;Joe is moving forward and I&#8217;m looking forward to seeing him when he returns.&#8221; [Monday]he actually goes to get treatment [Sunday]I just texted him and he feels better.
