Los Angeles Clippers coach Tyronn Lue likes the way his team stuck together this past Sunday when they blew a 31-point lead Sunday and nearly lost Game 4 to the Dallas Mavericks.
The Clippers led, 55-24, midway through the second quarter, only to see the Mavs put on a furious rally and storm ahead, 105-104, with 2:15 remaining in the game. But the Clippers recovered and hung on to prevail, 116-111, to knot this best-of-seven first-round Western Conference playoff series at 2-2.
Lue said his team kept their composure in hostile territory during the Mavs’ incredible run, and that’s what enabled them to win Game 4.
