PHOENIX -- LA Clippers coach Ty Lue came into this series with a plan to confuse, frustrate and unbalance a Phoenix Suns team inexperienced playing together with unending defensive scheme changes.
With zone, double teams from every angle, rapid-fire matchup switches and other various wrinkles, Lue's strategy was working. The Clippers took Game 1, smothering the Suns' attack, and were up 13 points with more of the same in the second quarter of Tuesday's Game 2.
But then the Suns figured out a way to stop it: Don't let the Clippers even set up a defense.
