The Los Angeles Clippers are on a roll, having won eight of their last nine NBA games to climb up the standings in the Western Conference. Lastly, they beat Memphis 128-108 at home.
Once again, Ivica Zubac contributed to the team’s victory with a double-double of 17 points and 10 rebounds. And as it has happened tons of times already since his move from Atlanta to Los Angeles, Bogdan Bogdanovic stepped up too with 16 points off the bench over 4/5 from deep.
James Harden, who had 30 points and 9 assists in the victory, praised the Serbian sharpshooter, who a few weeks ago said that The Beard “sets the example” and he’s “an incredible competitor.”
“[Bogdan Bogdanovic is an] unbelievable basketball player, an even better guy. He gets it, he understands it, and he fits in with what we’re trying to do. He has had big-time games. He’s a cool guy to hang out with,” Harden commented.
“He just understands, he listens. I curse him out sometimes. But he listens, he goes out there and becomes better. That’s the sign of somebody who wants to win. I’m happy he’s on our team.”
Since moving to the Los Angeles Clippers, having played 17 games with the franchise following his departure from the Atlanta Hawks, the former Fenerbahce and Partizan player has been averaging 12.6 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 3.2 assists per game, shooting 40.0% from three-point range.
