Ben Simmons on his 1-point performance: I was thinking too much, overthinking the plays
Simmons ended with 1 point in loss
Ben Simmons ended Game 2 of the series against the Celtics with 1 point in 31 minutes.
The Australian rookie shot 0 for 4 from the field, 1 for 2 from the line adding 5 rebounds and 7 assists.
Per ESPN, Philadelphia 76ers rookie Ben Simmons said he was "overthinking" on the court when he scored only one point in 31 minutes in a Game 2 loss to the Boston Celtics on Thursday night.
"I think it was mainly what I did to myself," Simmons said after failing to score a field goal for the first time in his 87-game career. "Mentally, I was thinking too much, overthinking the plays. Wasn't just out there, flowing, playing the way that I play, which is free.
"I think, obviously, [the Celtics] have a game plan, I know what their game plan is and I've got to play my game."
