    What a slugfest even with the Mavericks having near double the 3s (42% vs 27%). Next game in Dallas should be another good one.

  2. Remember when Luka was so mad Kleber couldn’t catch the ball

    Luka with that apologetic high five with Kebler after the offensive rebound there at the end lmao.

  4. pilfecapskcab

    – 23-19 score after the 1st quarter

    – 45-41 at halftime

    – Neither team reached 60 until the final 5 minutes of the 3rd.

    – Neither team hit 90 until the final minutes

    – Neither team had a 30-point quarter until the Mavs scored 31 in the 4th.

    – Neither team ever led by double digits

    That game was vintage as fuck

    >Here’s your Dallas Mavs Post Game Summary. Now in our 7th Season 7️⃣

    Did the Mavs win? ✅ FUCK WE NEEDED THIS

    SERIES: 1️⃣-1️⃣

    Luka with a rough night shooting but I gotta admit he really gave some effort on defense with some huge stops down the stretch. Finished with 32/6/9 with 2 stocks and the dagger 3 🇸🇮🗡️🔥

    Kyrie chipped in with 23/6/4 & 3 Steals icing the game with the final freethrows 🪬🌍

    Gafford had another rough night and on top of that suffered a lower back injury. Hopefully he’s not gonna miss serious time 🏥

    PJ with 18/6 & 3 Stocks knocking down two huge 3’s to pull away in the 4th 👌💦💹

    Jones with 10/7 👍

    Maxi with 6/6 but the big 3 to regain the lead in the late 4th 🇩🇪💦👌

    Dereck was much better tonight with 7/9 holding things down with Gafford injured 👍

    This series is going to be the death of me

    Big reason why the Mavs won: Luka held up really well defensively. He got multiple stops against Kawhi, Harden, and PG in the fourth quarter when the tide was starting to turn in the Clippers favor.

    It’s gonna have to be that type of effort all playoffs from him if the Mavs want to make a run.

    Crazy defensive game from both teams ,
    Both teams held under 💯 points !!

  12. StrategyTop7612

    what a game from Luka, and a great team effort for the Mavs.

  13. fordangliacanfly

    I only caught the last two minutes but somehow still watched half of that game

  14. drivebabygoose

    This was the best defensive game I’ve ever seen Luka play and it came when we needed it the most.

  15. WhiteBoyFlipz

    what a stressful game dude. i’m gonna have a heart attack. i hate LA

  16. A1_PunisherPipkins

    This felt like a WCF game man the Clippers-Mavs rivalry is so intense 😭

  17. Dat_Boi_John

    I just want to acknowledge the Clippers went iso on Luka so many times in the 4th and he shut down PG and Kawhi EVERY SINGLE TIME.

    Edit: he played 46 minutes too. He was dying out there at the end.

  18. Luka playing 46 minutes is wild.

    EDIT:

    Kyrie with 42, as well.

  19. TheAirIsOn

    Welcome clippers, to the “lost at home in 2024” club.

  20. If you don’t think Luka can play D you need to watch that fourth quarter. They kept trying to attack him and he was locked in every possession. That was the difference in this game

  21. Incorrect1012

    Fix your shooting problems? Fuck that, double it and give it to the next person

  22. luka teammates blow so many baskets. he could have had 15 assists

  23. Panik_Switch

    Luka and Kyrie weren’t really that much better on offense then they were in game 1. Clippers have some seriously great defense.

    The difference maker for the Mavs was honestly the energy they had going into this game, especially from Luka. He stepped up on defense without a doubt and seemed way more engaged than in the first game, which was absolutely a difference maker in the energy given by the other guys. Shoutout to the Mavs front court for getting their stuff together also, they were so much better.

  24. Luka was legit locking PG and Harden up. That was insane lol.
