Tyronn Lue shared his thoughts on how the Clippers can stop Nikola Jokic on Christmas Day clash with the Denver Nuggets.

Lue, the head coach of the Clippers, said the team should approach the game in a different way defensively in order to contain the Serbian Center.

“Ty Lue says after going through a seven-game series against the Nuggets, the Clippers have to throw different defensive looks at Nikola Jokic and not let the center get comfortable,” Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN reports.

Jokic was one of the main reasons (along with Jamal Murray) the Nuggets eliminated the Clippers in the 2020 NBA playoffs (3-4), despite being down 3-1.

Lue and the Clippers will face the Nuggets on Christmas Day at Ball Arena in Denver.
