Find my teammates if they’re open, if I can get an easy bucket, get it,” Simmons said during a postgame television interview on Sunday. Butler recorded 19 points in his return and backup guard Landry Shamet tied his career high with 16 points in just 15 minutes while making 4-of-5 3-pointers.

• LaMarcus Aldridge scored 29 points and DeMar DeRozan added 21 in Saturday’s loss while two other starters – Bryn Forbes and Derrick White – were held scoreless while combining to go 0-for-7 from the field. San Antonio shot 52.6 percent and averaged 26.5 assists during its four-game winning streak but finished at 43.8 percent with 18 assists against the Bulls. “A combination – turning the ball over, they were aggressive, we couldn’t score the ball – it was a combination of a little bit of everything,” DeRozan told reporters.

• Philadelphia won both meetings in 2017-18, holding the Spurs to a season-low 78 points in the second encounter at San Antonio on Jan. 26.
