Ben Simmons moves away from Kyle Lowry in cock and balls

It's a dirty trick here. In the second quarter of the third game of the 76ers-Raptors series on Thursday night, Kyle Lowry put Ben Simmons on the defense window and Simmons fell to the ground along the baseline. With Lowry wavering on him, Simmons threw an angry jab directly at Lowry's tender jaws:

As the action was moving quickly in the other direction, officials did not notice the shot down and Simmons was not penalized. These two players have a bit of history. Last January, they agreed to meet in the fist tunnel after both players were ejected in the last 10 seconds of a regular season game. This new escalation of hostilities may not end in the tunnel, but if the NBA determined that the coarse elbow was worth a blatant foul, Simmons would be close to the mandatory suspension of a match resulting from the buildup of three playoffs.
