Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Tyronn Lue kept Isaiah Thomas on the bench during the fourth quarter of Sunday's win over the Detroit Pistons at Quicken Loans Arena in an effort to stagger his minutes with those of LeBron James.
"We talked about it, so I think that needs to happen," Thomas told reporters after the game. "My minutes just can't be with LeBron at all times. We got to play to our strengths. Just like Chris Paul and James Harden, they don't play together at all times.
