Harden: Defensive discipline must be maintained. KD’s previous fatal foul on SGA was a disciplinary issue

Today the Clippers defeated the Suns 129-102. After the game, Clippers star Harden was interviewed by the media.

The reporter asked: "Dillon mentioned that you taught him to maintain defensive discipline?"

Harden: "Yes, you must maintain discipline, otherwise you will pay the price - it may be a foul, it may give the opponent free throws or open opportunities. Effort alone is not enough. You must balance effort, wisdom and discipline. He is Houston couldn't help but reach out when guarding me, and was called for a foul. "

"Just like KD's foul against SGA in double overtime, it was also a disciplinary issue. If the opponent makes a difficult shot, then admit it. Dillon has grown into a better defender, and I think we have all seen it."

In the previous game where the Rockets lost 124-125 to the Thunder, Durant fouled Alexander at the last minute, and the latter made two free throws to help the team win.
