Don't mess around with Facundo Campazzo. This is a hard lesson Ben Simmons learned on Tuesday night as he was run over by the diminutive Denver Nuggets guard in a sequence that will certainly put a smile on the faces of Nuggets fans from around the world.
Simmons tried to set a screen against Campazzo in Philly's own half, and unfortunately for the Sixers star, it did not end too well for him (h/t ClutchPoints on Twitter):

Steamrolled is the term that comes to mind here. The best part? Facu looking over at Simmons after putting him to the ground. We can almost hear the Nuggets guard saying, “get up!” For his part, all Simmons could do was to look at the game officials as he seemingly attempted to plead for an offensive foul against Campazzo.
For what it's worth, Campazzo is listed at 5-foot-10 and 195 pounds. He may be small, but the Nuggets' 30-year-old rookie is by no means a pushover. This was a hard lesson to learn for Ben Simmons on Monday night.
Let this serve as a warning for everyone else out there: never underestimate Facundo Campazzo. Otherwise, it's going to end in disaster for you. Just ask Ben.
