Lu: We lost trust when many shots failed to go in at the beginning. There were many shots that were taken just once the pass was passed.

The Clippers lost to the Warriors 79-98 in an away game today. Head coach Tyronn Lue was interviewed after the game.

Reporter: "The opponent had a 40-13 offensive climax in the game. From your point of view, what was the problem?"

Lu said: "I think at the beginning of the game, we got a very good shooting opportunity, but we just didn't make it. Then, we lost trust and started to fall into the 'shoot once the ball is passed' mode, but I still have to give credit to the players. Due to their efforts, we were once behind by 14 or 15 points, caught up and took the lead at halftime.

"Then in the third quarter, the opponent launched a 32-14 offensive, and we never got back the rhythm. Leonard and James (Harden) felt tired at the same time in that quarter, so they both took a rest, and the situation snowballed from there.

"But like I said, the Warriors played very well, especially on the defensive end, and they did a great job of limiting us. We didn't play the offensive way we wanted, and that made us stagnate a little bit."
