On Wednesday against the Clippers, after he drove to a last-minute dunk for a six-point lead, Şengün swatted away a drive to secure the win. “I think our challenge to him specifically was to use verticality at the rim a little bit better,” Udoka said. “We do put the onus on our guards and wings to fight through picks so it’s not a downhill drive every time. But baiting his guy into floaters, runners and getting back to rebound, I think he’s been better at that.
