The Los Angeles Clippers have fallen to a 3-1 deficit in their Western Conference Finals series. The Clippers lost Game 4 in a low-scoring game, with the Suns edging them out 84-80. Comebacks from 3-1 down are rare, and the Los Angeles Clippers will have their work cut out for them.
Coach Ty Lue has experience coaching in these situations. Lue has made multiple comebacks from 0-2 down this postseason, and before that, he was the coach for the legendary 2016 NBA Championship, where the Cleveland Cavaliers and LeBron James came back from 3-1 down against the Golden State Warriors.
Recently, Lue has claimed that the Los Angeles Clippers’ comeback from 3-1 down is “very doable”, and pointed to their Utah Jazz series, where they beat the No. 1 seed four times in a row.
“We beat Utah, the number one in the West, four games in a row. So it’s very doable.”

Just gotta take it one game at a time. Just focus on Monday’s game that’s it… That’s gotta be our mindset. We beat Utah, the number one in the West, four games in a row. So it’s very doable.”
It will definitely be quite an achievement if the Los Angeles Clippers will be able to come back from 3-1 down against one of the best teams in the Western Conference. While it is hard for many to see that happen, Ty Lue seems confident in their ability, and perhaps the Clippers will be able to shock the world.
