Clippers dominated Game 1 and set up a lot of expectations in Game 2 as well but fell short on it after Mavericks forced a win with 127-121 to even out the series with 1-1. They held their ground even when Kawhi Leonard exploded on them in the first half but with a big last quarter despite some trouble by Clippers found a win. Luka Doncic was an absolute beauty and pulled off a one-legged three-pointer to showcase his skills mid came.
Even Tim Hardaway Jr. pulled off a gigantic jumper with just over a minute left. Doncic finished with 39 points, 7 assists, and 7 rebounds while Hardaway was at 28 points 5 assists, and a rebound, and together they laid waste to Leonard’s 41 points effort which was complimented by 4 assists and 6 rebounds as well.
