It is worth mentioning that Curry's 25 points in a single quarter were also obtained against the Clippers.
28 points in a single quarter set a new single-quarter scoring record for Doncic, and just one point left to match nowitzki's all-time lone ranger record of 29 points. In the first quarter of the game, Doncic hit 7 three-pointers in a single quarter, setting a record for a single quarter of shooting in the history of the Lone Rangers.
Doncic also became the third player since the 96-97 season to score at least 28 points in the first quarter, the first two players being Love (34 points) and McCollum (29 points).
For Doncic, the Clippers are old rivals, the past two seasons, the Lone Ranger has met the Clippers in the first round, although Doncic's personal performance is very good, the Clippers can not take him, but because the Clippers have Leonard and George in town, the overall strength is greater than the Lone Ranger, so the Lone Ranger also lost to the Clippers for two consecutive years.
Because of this relationship, Doncic has also performed very well against the Clippers, and this is the case in today's game, so he also set a series of records and won the first 50+ of his career.
With the exception of Doncic, the Mavericks' highest score for the rest of the player was Smith's 12 points. On the Clippers side, Reggie Jackson played 33 minutes and had 18 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists on 7-of-14 shooting. Powell played 34 minutes and had 19 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists on 5-of-14 shooting.
