Beyond the Usual great game from Luka Doncic (35 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assists with 11-11 free throws), who went from high to low like his team, Dallas was finally saved by the 3-pointers (17-43, 7 by Dorian Finney Smith and 4 by Reggie Bullock, six shots in the final six minutes) in a game dominated by defense early on: had allowed the Clippers just 32 points in the first half, then conceded 33 in the third quarter and 36 points in the fourth period.
The Angelenos, still without Kawhi Leonard, were not enough with it clear improvement they showed with John Wall’s hand (17 points and 4 assists), who started the second half for the Luke Kennard injury and ordered the group to attack. To highlight the party Nicolas Batum, 7-7 on 3-pointersand the possessions he gave away Paul George: 10 losses, the worst mark of his entire career.

Dallas Mavericks vs. LA Clippers live
Dallas Mavericks win. The Texans were able to win 103-101: they fouled the Clippers, Nicolas Batum hit the first free throw and missed the second, and Dallas grabbed the rebound and the win.
The Clippers will have one last chance. Reggie Bullock wasn’t as accurate from the free-throw line as he was on three-pointers, missing a shot, and that’s why Dallas couldn’t close the game: it wins 103-100 and the visitors have the last possession at 6.8 seconds. end.

Finney Smith, instant savior of the Mavs. Dorian Finney-Smith hit seven 3-pointers tonight, and none were celebrated more at American Airlines Center than the one he just hit to tie it 93-93 with less than three minutes to go.
Clippers get to clutch lead. The LA Clippers are clearly the better team in the second half and now it reflects that on the scoreboard: they are winning 84-82 with five and a half minutes left after Wall added five more points to his tally while Dallas still has none. managed to fully enter the game Doncic since his return to the field. The Slovenian is starting to get frustrated.

Tie game in the last quarter. The Clippers managed to tie the score at the start of the final period: 70-70 after two minutes in which Dallas failed to hit a field goal.
Another Mavericks collapse? Dallas leads just 69-65 after third quarter: Doncic’s 30 points tries to be the savior of a team that allowed the Clippers to score more points in the third period (33) than they did in the entire first half (32). Watch out for the ghosts for the Mavericks, who have lost four games this season in which they led by 10 or more points (in just five losses).
Dallas does not react and there is a game. With 13 straight points from the Clippers, now the individual score is 61-57 for Dallas, very different from what we saw in the first half and the senses are leaning towards the visitors. John Wall took control of the game while for the Mavericks the 3-pointers do not fall nor do they look empty for the inside game.
