The Los Angeles Clippers defeated the Detroit Pistons 142-131 on Monday night in a shocker of a comeback.
Down 13 points with three minutes and a half, Tyronn Lue made the right decision to sub out Paul George, Marcus Morris Sr., Ivica Zubac, and John Wall out of the game. Then and there, he was waving the white flag.
So is what everyone — critics, players and fans alike — thought. But, no — it wasn’t a passive waving of the team’s white flag. It was instead a fearless brandishing of a red alert.
