What happened: Pascal Siakam delivered a lob to Ivica Zubac, who finished with a dunk. The two connected on the interior play as part of their regular-season rotation.
Why it matters: The frontcourt tandem continues establishing chemistry after building offensive rhythm together earlier in the fall. Sustained production from the pairing remains central to generating efficient scoring opportunities in the half court.
By the numbers: In 2026-27 through 9 games, Siakam is averaging 21.4 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 3.9 assists per game. Through 5 games in 2026-27, Zubac has recorded 7.6 points, 8.6 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game.
What to watch: Both players look to maintain their offensive continuity as the regular-season schedule progresses.
