Coach Tyronn Lue has secret plan to fix Cavaliers’ struggling defense in playoffs

CLEVELAND: Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue has a secret.

That should be encouraging, since what he’s holding back is his plan for how to fix the Cavs’ struggling defense in the playoffs.

There’s just one caveat, and it looms large for the team that was tied for 15th in the league in opponent’s field goal percentage — the statistic posted on a board in the Quicken Loans Arena locker room — going into Sunday’s games.

Lue is not sure the plan will work.

“I’m not confident, but we got to,” he said after Saturday night’s 127-115 home loss to the Washington Wizards.
