Ben Simmons set an NBA record wit 24 free throw attempts in one quarter

Ben Simmons was "victim" of the Hack-A-Shaq in 76ers' win to the Wizards.
Ben Simmons finished with 31 points, 18 rebounds and 4 assists.

Per ESPN, After cutting a 22-point deficit to single digits with five minutes left, the Wizards started fouling Simmons, who entered the game shooting 56.6 percent from the line. He went 15 for 29, but made six of his last eight. His 24 attempts in the fourth were an NBA record for one quarter, according to ESPN Stats & Info, and the 29 overall set a league mark for rookies.

"I have no fear of taking free throws," Simmons said. "It's not going to happen for much longer."

"It's not my rule, it's an NBA rule," Wizards coach Scott Brooks said about fouling Simmons. "Just trying to do whatever it takes to cut the lead. His free throw percentage is not good at the moment so it gave us a chance to shoot 3s while they hopefully miss free throws."
