The Utah Jazz beat the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday night in a duel between the best team in the East and the best team in the West. In the end, the Eastern side won, finishing the night with a 134-123 result that confirmed they are the best team in the NBA right now.
We also saw a big duel between Jordan Clarkson and Ben Simmons, who recently self-proclaimed the best defender in the NBA. Well, the Australian player hasn’t had very good games after making that statement, going against two talented scorers that put him in a bad situation. He went against Jordan Clarkson on Monday and the former Los Angeles Lakers player went off with 40 points. He only cared about scoring, only recording one assist during the game.
As you may know, this duel has a lot of reasons to be entertaining and Nick Young pointed out the biggest one of all: Kendall Jenner. The supermodel dated Ben Simmons and was linked with Clarkson at some point, although she denied those claims. However, Young pointed out that this Kendall Jenner’s exes battle is always entertaining and the Jazz’s guard is always cooking the Sixers star.
“Whatever Kendall did, Jc really kills Ben everyTime they play lol … 40 ball 6 man of the yr,” Young wrote on Twitter Monday night.

Some fans reacted to that, replying that Simmons also dropped 40 but nobody was talking about that and other people praised Clarkson for doing this coming off the bench.

Ben hasn’t been living good moments in recent days. Last Sunday, he went against Kendall’s current boyfriend Devin Booker, who scored 36 on him, leading a lot of fans to troll the Aussie point guard. Ever since he said he was the best defender in the league, everybody has tried to prove Simmons wrong and his last two rivals had more than one reason to do so.
