The Clippers concluded their Grammy trip with a 4-2 mark by winning 124-116 on Monday over the Brooklyn Nets, who were led by Cam Thomas' 47 points.
Reserve guard Norman Powell has been with the Clippers for a year. He began developing a connection with coach Tyronn Lue last summer in Las Vegas.“Don’t make me think about it right now, please,” Lue said. “… Kyrie’s a guy we’ve always blitzed in the past, Luka’s always a guy we’ve blitzed in the past, and now they got two of them, so like I said it’s going to be a tough challenge for a lot of teams in the West. Like I said, he’s a bad dude.
With starting forward Marcus Morris Sr. ejected in the first half after an exchange with an official, the Clippers had to alter an already changed rotation. After not playing in two consecutive games because of Lue’s aversion to playing three-guard lineups off the bench, Luke Kennard saw the court as early as the first quarter and ultimately finished with 15 minutes, and three points, while paired with guards Reggie Jackson and Norman Powell at times.
“We’re in a situation where we’ve got to win games now,” Lue said. “And so [I] can’t play 10 guys like I was doing early on and trying to keep everybody happy. I got to — we got to win games. And so we got a good rotation.”
