Ty Lue Calls 3-1 Comeback ‘Very Doable’

Down 3-1 in the Western Conference Finals, the LA Clippers are looking to pull off a rare postseason comeback. While the Clippers are the only team in NBA history to come back down 2-0 in the opening two rounds of the playoffs, coming back from a 3-1 deficit is even more difficult. 

In the history of the NBA conference finals, teams down 3-1 have only won the series seven percent of the time. While this doesn’t happen often, Clippers Head Coach Ty Lue has pulled off this feat before. 

In the 2016, the Cleveland Cavaliers were coached by Lue and became the first team in NBA Finals history to overcome a 3-1 series deficit. 

While it’s going to be difficult, Lue is still optimistic that the Clippers came come back and win the series to advance to the NBA Finals. 

“We beat Utah and won four games in a row. So it’s very doable,” said Lue after Game 4. 

Game 5 will take place Monday evening, where the Clippers will once again be without Kawhi Leonard.
