Ivica Zubac was huge in the Los Angeles Clippers’ win over the Cleveland Cavaliers, as he also had 20 rebounds and shot 13-for-18 from the field on top of his 28 points while outrebounding Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley in the process. According to the Croatian international, it was just another day in the office for him.
“We’re just trying to get wins, and win as many as we can. We think we can play against anyone when we’re at our best and I think we showed that tonight. That’s the best team in the league right there, best record in the league. We had a great second half, came back, played some good defense in the second half and we showed that we can play against everyone,” Zubac said via ClutchPoints’ Tomer Azarly.
“As years go, you get better,” Leonard added about Zubac. “He definitely wasn’t ready to get the ball in the earlier years when he was here. Like I said, he progressed, he wasn’t scoring on smalls as easy, getting the ball swiped out of his hands.
