Tyronn Lue helping Clippers with a ‘blueprint’ to win series

Clippers coach Tyronn Lue, chatting with center Mason Plumlee as he waits to check into the game, was a calming influence in the middle of a Game 4 storm in Dallas. Tyronn Lue gathered his team in the huddle during a timeout with 2 minutes and 14 seconds left Sunday in Game 4 and looked them in the eyes with a firmness after the Clippers’ 31-point lead had evaporated down to one. Lue was steadfast in his belief in the Clippers during the game’s most tense moment even with their best player, Kawhi Leonard, sidelined because of inflammation in his right knee. George offered this answer on why he was confident the Clippers could get at least one win in Dallas and bring the series back home Wednesday for Game 5 in good position. … As long as we can get a shot up, we’ll live with the results.” It remains uncertain if Leonard will play in Game 5, but the Clippers have won two playoff games without him.
