Bojan Bogdanovic scored 30 points in Pacers’ win in Game 3 against the Cavaliers. But he praised his defense on LeBron more than his offensive game.


Per ESPN, When guarding James, Bogdanovic has tried to front him, play behind him in the post and even get low and put his shoulder into James' midsection when the two are banging in the post.
"Just trying to get into his knees," Bogdanovic said. "Trying to push him to catch the ball far from the basket. Against those kind of players, you can't do anything. Just try to stay aggressive on them. He shot a good percentage, but we won the game, and that's most important. You can force him to take tough shots and earn every single point that he gets."
"Everybody thought before this season that I cannot play defense," Bogdanovic said. "I don't say that I am playing great defense, but I am working hard at trying to make it tough for each offensive player that I'm guarding."
