    - Jimmy Butler and Ben Simmons have started wearing white headbands -- yes, they are a headband of brothers -- as a symbol of their commitment to defense. But the 76ers stars wanted to make more than a fashion statement -- Butler and Simmons made a high-stakes pledge to D with a series of bets. Most steals. Most blocks.

    Simmons won the hand with two steals to Butler's one block.

    "They gave (Joel Embiid) one of my blocks," Butler said. "Technically, it's 2-2. So we'll push."

    The box score tally may be in dispute but it's incontestable Butler has made the Sixers a true championship contender.

    Butler continued his run as Philadelphia's stretch-run shooter, scoring 13 of his 21 points in the fourth quarter to lead the 76ers to a 103-95 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday night.
