Prior to walking into the territory of a divisional rival last night, filled with memories of opponents scratching their heads, wondering how to stop Stephen Curry, the LA Clippers were 7-1 over their last eight versus the Golden State Warriors. This changed when LA lost by a near 20-point margin, and Tyronn Lue's coaching in the third quarter led to the end result.
Furthermore, Lue closed out the third quarter with his three best players, James Harden, Kawhi Leonard, and Ivica Zubac on the bench. This, as anyone would expect, was when Steve Kerr instructed his players to take advantage, and of course, they grabbed hold of the momentum.
