Battling with the Toronto Raptors two starters short in must-win circumstances is not ideal, but head coach Tyronn Lue listened to the fans and played every youngster who traveled. This is where Lue’s belief system as a coach has changed, as a month ago, the LA Clippers could have had countless key players on the injury report, yet only veterans would hog the minutes.
How did Lue’s night end, following a course of action the fanbase passionately yearned for? The Clippers won in overtime by four points and amazed the world by showing that a promising young core lies in LA; it was just hidden by a close-minded mentality.
