Harden: I have been practicing the cooperation between Zubac and Collins. I like this adaptable style of play.

In the NBA regular season, the Clippers defeated the Trail Blazers 114-107. Harden was interviewed after the game.

Talking about Zubac's performance, he said: "This is so critical. There are always various changes during the game. For example, the opponent suddenly changes to a smaller lineup. At this time, we pass the ball to Zubac in the low post. He did a particularly good job in scoring and sent several good passes, and then Collins and other teammates can also keep up with the rhythm. I like this style of play, adjusting our offense according to the opponent's defense. Tonight is a good example."

Reporter: "With a player like Collins, when Zubac is double-teamed in the low post, there is a player like him. How much do you think this helps Zubac when players with long finishes make cuts? "

Harden: "We have been practicing this tactic. It's a tactic we've been honing in training camp, and it's something we've been working on over the years since I've been here, trying to get good at using it. I think we've done a pretty good job on that so far. "

In this game, Harden played 37 minutes, making 6 of 12 shots, 2 of 7 three-pointers, 6 of 7 free throws, 20 points, 6 rebounds, 13 assists, 3 steals and 7 turnovers.
