Turnovers doom Tyronn Lue’s plans: Takeaways from Clippers’ loss to Warriors

LA Times  

Clippers guard Paul George, right, passes under pressure from Golden State’s Andrew Wiggins, left, and Stephen Curry during the second half of the Clippers’ 105-90 loss Sunday. The lack of focus behind so many of the errant passes — Lue classified 13 or 14 turnovers as “bad” — went directly against one of the top points in the Clippers’ game plan: Take care of the basketball. “They’re a terrific team, but I think this game we kind of just beat ourselves,” Lue said. Serge Ibaka played nine first-half minutes and reserve center Isaiah Hartenstein stayed on the bench until the third quarter’s final minutes — a substitution whose immediate dividends underscored why it will be difficult for Lue to keep the former training-camp invitee off of the court even with Ibaka healthy.
