Before Friday’s game against the Mavericks, Los Angeles Clippers coach Tyronn Lue expressed the difficulties of trying to design a scheme to contain Mavericks All-Star guards Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving. Particularly with the Mavs playing more of an up-tempo style this season.
After the game was over and the Mavs had rolled over the Clippers, it appears as though Lue was a prophet. With Dallas native Sha’Carri Richardson – the official fastest woman in the world — sitting courtside, the Mavs made a mad dash for the winner’s circle and sped past the Clippers, 144-126, at American Airlines Center in an NBA in-season tournament game.
