They face the Rockets and Mavericks on back to back nights after a loss to the Nets left coach Ty Lue dissatisfied.
Ty Lue put it bluntly after the Clippers lost to the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday: “I wasn’t satisfied tonight.”The Clippers coach might have been less than thrilled with the sluggish first quarter in which Paul George couldn’t get on track and had just six points, or with his team’s 18 turnovers or the disastrous fourth quarter when the Clippers got four points from their starters and shot 29% from the field and lost 110-95.
“I thought offensively tonight we didn’t play the right way,” Lue said. “We talked about them really protecting the paint when we got into the paint, making the right play, kicking it out for threes. The Clippers can’t afford a fourth-quarter lapse against the Mavericks and Luka Doncic on Tuesday. Doncic is coming off an impressive game in which he had 42 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists against Portland. Much like the Nets , the Mavericks shot 61.1% in the final quarter of their game Saturday.
Lue said the Clippers cannot afford to over-dribble on Dallas, which has won six of its past 10 games, and need to do a solid job getting into the paint, where guys like Ivica Zubac and Norman Powell are most effective.
