Varan: If we meet a suitable opponent, the twin towers of Jokic and I can work, but running after the defender is not good.

In the NBA regular season, the Nuggets defeated the Rockets 112-109 away from home.

After the game, Valanciunas accepted an interview with reporters. Talking about his and Jokic's twin towers, he said: "It's hard to say whether this style of play is effective because the opponents we face are different every night. When the opponent sends out five defenders, you can only chase them outside the three-point line. This is not a style of play that Nikola and I are good at. If we can meet the right opponents, I think this style of play is feasible. The situation in each game will be different, but we have to invest more time. This We have only played three games with the twin-tower lineup this season. We are still trying to solve the space problem. After all, we are both centers, not one playing the four position and the other playing the five position. We all need to occupy the inside space, so we must find ways to better utilize the space and opportunities."

In this game, Varan played 4 of 8 shots, 0 of 3 three-pointers, and scored 8 points, 1 rebound, and 1 block.
