into the fold after he was sidelined for over three weeks due to right knee inflammation. Despite losing the previous game, the Clippers remain confident in their"blueprint" to handle a Mavericks attack led by Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving .
“I thought we maybe got a little too stagnate, trying to attack him,” Lue said. “He did a good job. He sat down. He took the challenge and he really defended. Kyrie did the same thing. "Not necessarily shots. I think more so timing. Timing of when he's getting there, how he's getting there. I think understanding the rhythm of the offense and getting that flow back. I don't think it necessarily means more shots. I just think it means like, the time and when he's getting to his spots, how he's getting to his spots and things like that."
As Clippers sixth-man Norman Powell detailed, the team is focused on deploying the low defender early to account for the paint and prompt Doncic or Kyrie Irving to reverse to the weak side of the floor. "I think they will go to that lineup. They had some success with it at the end of Game 1," Lue said."They had some in Game 2 as well. I think they will go to that."
