Many words have been written regarding the matchups in this series and the adjustments of the coaches. The most important adjustment so far is one that Tyron Lue failed to make in time.
At 6:32 remaining in the 3rd quarter, Paul George picked up his third foul when he extended his off arm and pushed Tim Hardaway Jr. The Clippers were leading 70-67 at the time. Ivica Zubac checked in for George, leaving the Clippers with Kawhi Leonard, Marcus Morris, Nicholas Batum, Reggie Jackson and Zubac. This lineup is still pretty standard for the modern NBA with a point guard, a center and 3 big wings.
