But my honorable mention goes to Carlisle for the strategy change. We went big all night and it made PG and KL seem human again. And I also find it interesting that I don't think KP got a single turnaround post-up shot, with the coach preferring shooters spacing the floor around Boban and Powell. He really mixed up the gameplan and it paid off.
Had to go Luka but its a great point about Carlisle here. I was surprised to see coach C. going BIG vs small, counter matching Ty Lue this time instead of trying to match up small vs small where advantage was adding up clearly to LA. Its something I've long advocated to be used in spurts and stretches but never thought Carlisle would do it. Kudos.
The +/- doesn't tell the full story on the result because with the additional time of bigs inside the Clippers really worked overtime using their best and big wings to lock up (and hack) Dallas BIGS men almost the entire game. Powell, Kleber, WCS were all able to rotate in completely fresh without foul concerns.
Dirkie for Coach Carlisle.
