The Los Angeles Clippers are in the midst of a win-or-go-home Game 7 tilt against the Denver Nuggets. It has been a wildly entertaining series and the most competitive in the NBA Playoffs.
The Clippers, however, might have the edge in this one due to their head coach, Ty Lue.
Clippers Head Coach Ty Lue Is Undefeated In Game 7s
As an NBA head coach, Ty Lue is currently a perfect 4-0. He is 2nd all-time to Red Auerbach, who is 8-0.
Lue has an impressive 57-40 overall playoff record.
3 of his 4 Game 7 victories came when he was the head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers. He was the head coach in perhaps the most famous Game 7 of all time when his Cavs capped off a historic series against the Golden State Warriors.
In that series, the Cavs were famously down 3-1 before famously coming all the way back and breaking the hearts of Golden State in Game 7.
In his first season with the Clippers in 2021, Los Angeles faced a Game 7 in the opening round against the Dallas Mavericks. They would go on to win that game 126-111.
Can Ty Lue make it 5-0 tonight? As of this writing, the Los Angeles Clippers are leading the Nuggets in the 1st quarter.
