Mark Daigneault on Lu Dort: “We start to get used to them, but he’s probably had five of these this year where he’s played against a top notch opponent, and just done his thing”

Oklahoma City Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault discussed Lu Dort’s incredible defense on Portland Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard after last night’s 101-98 win at home.

(via Bally Sports Southwest):

“The whole game, the guy is just a monster defensively. Lillard’s a monster offensively, he’s such a good player. It’s just another vintage game. We start to get used to them, but he’s probably had five of these this year where he’s played against a top notch opponent, and just done his thing. He did it again tonight. He’s got a long way to go, just like everybody else, especially offensively. A lot’s been made of that. But when the fight breaks out, he’s there for the fight. And he was there for the fight tonight.”
