Clippers vs Mavericks Preview
The Clippers overcame a 14-point second-half deficit on Saturday to best the New Orleans Pelicans 133-130 on the road for their third consecutive win.
After surrendering 80 points in the first half, the Clippers held New Orleans to 30 in the third quarter and 20 in the fourth.
“Clearly, the defense didn’t wake up for either team,” Clippers head coach Doc Rivers said, according to The Associated Press. “It was one of those games where, at halftime, I said, ‘Guys, first team that plays any defense will win this game.'”
He added: “We played defense in the fourth. That’s why we won.”
Clippers star Kawhi Leonard scored 39 points and came up with 5 steals, both game highs, to go with 6 rebounds and 6 assists.
“The Pelicans can score. They’ve got a lot of talent over there,” Leonard said, per AP. “They have youth. … They play hard. So Doc just wanted us to grind out the win. He kept telling us we just got to find a way.”
Clippers reserve guard Lou Williams scored 14 of his 32 points in the final period.
“Very talented scorer — fearless, just goes out there and plays the game,” Leonard said of Williams, per AP. “He pushed us to win that game in that fourth quarter.”
The Mavericks have won four in a row, most recently besting the Portland Trail Blazers 120-112 at home on Friday.
Dallas star Luka Dončić scored a game-high 35 points (on 11-of-23 shooting) to go with 8 rebounds and 7 assists. The 20-year-old, whose 28.9 points per game rank fourth in the NBA, hadn’t scored more than 27 points in a game in five straight contests.
Two days before the victory over Portland, Dončić notched a 25-point, 15-rebound, 17-assist triple-double in a win over the Sacramento Kings.
“Sometimes, that’s going to be the formula for us to win,” Dallas head coach Rick Carlisle said after besting the Blazers, according to Mavs.com. “He’ll score a lower number and he’ll have a game like Sacramento when he has 15 rebounds and (17) assists. It’s not all about stats.
“We’re trying to win as many games as we can and grow together as a team. Luka, he’s got wisdom beyond his years because when teams junk up the game, double-team him, take the ball out of his hands, he puts his teammates in a great position to make plays and get open shots.”
Mavericks big man Kristaps Porziņģis, who’s missed 10 straight games with knee soreness, practiced on Sunday and Monday and is expected to return to the floor against LA.
Clippers wing Paul George will miss his sixth straight with a hamstring injury.
