Speaking to the media ahead of the Nuggets vs Clippers clash on Friday, Ty Lue got honest on how Aaron Gordon has literally ‘owned’ the Los Angeles Clippers in the past few matchups, as his team has had no strategy to stop his wrath. Moreover, Lue went on to emphasize how Gordon ‘has killed’ the Clippers.

As per Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints, Lue even stated how it is vitally important for the Clippers to contain Aaron Gordon if they were to top Denver Nuggets in their most recent showdown.
