On April 24, Beijing time, the Clippers played at home against the Mavericks, and the Clippers lost to the Mavericks 93-96 at the end of the game. Although the Clippers won the game smoothly in the G1 game, the Clippers were not without problems in the game. When Irving continues to be powerful on the court, the Clippers really may not be able to win steadily, but in the G2 game, the Clippers welcomed back Leonard, it can be said that such a thing is a huge blow to the Mavericks, after all, the Mavericks are favored to be able to beat down in this series because of Leonard's injury problems, but now that Leonard has successfully returned, the Mavericks' situation in the game will be even more difficult.
In the first quarter of the game, the two teams played chaotic and the score was very stale, and in the next game, Doncic had Jones and Lively standing up to score, but the Clippers were able to bite the score under the play of George, Mann and others, but unfortunately the Clippers' offense was still bad after that, Doncic's three-point outbreak helped the Mavericks lead to 7 points, but the follow-up Clippers still chased the score under George's play, and the Mavericks led by 4 points at the end of the first quarter. In the second quarter, the Clippers played badly, although Leonard finally scored, but the Mavericks brought huge defensive pressure to the Clippers, and the Mavericks successfully opened the score under the leadership of Irving, but then Harden also began to score slowly, so the Clippers still successfully chased the score, but Doncic helped the Mavericks score free throws after coming on the court, and the Mavericks still led the Clippers by 4 points at halftime.
In the third quarter, Harden helped the Clippers chase points, Washington hit a three-point shot at a critical moment, and then Irving completed a steal and scored a layup, but when the Mavericks led to 7 points, George hit a three-pointer, and then Leonard also scored on a layup, Zubac hit a three-point shot after a free throw to tie the score, and then Irving also hit a three-pointer, but the Clippers were full of impact. George and others played under the Clippers to take a one-point lead, and at the end of the game, Doncic finally helped the team tie the score but was whistled for a technical foul because he complained about blowing free throws, and Harden hit a free throw, and the Clippers led by one point at the end of the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, the Clippers opened the score with a wave of 7-2, but soon the Mavericks completed a 14-0 overtake, and Washington also hit three points after Wei Shao hit a three-point shot, and then the Mavericks firmly occupied the lead under the leadership of Doncic, and finally the Clippers were unable to return to the sky and lose the game.
It was quite difficult for the Mavericks to win this game, after all, the Clippers' counterattack in the game was too intense, so the Mavericks were also behind for a while, but Doncic and Irving did play tough in this game, and in the fourth quarter of the game, the two of them also had a strange soldier like Washington, and it was really important for Washington to hit an empty three-point at a critical moment, which was also the key to the Mavericks being able to maintain their lead, and finally the Mavericks beat the Clippers to make the score 1-1, and at the end of the game, Doncic got 32 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists, and Irving got 23 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists。 And Wei Shao is also used correctly in this game, in the second half of the game, Wei Shao was an early game, when the Mavericks had physical problems, Wei Shao's hard work brought great help to the Clippers, and at the same time, Wei Shao fought for rebounds and actively hit three points, so Wei Shao used it correctly, and finally Wei Shao got 7 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists.
The Clippers lost the game Leonard is really to blame, after all, Leonard's offensive state in this game is too bad, and at this time the Clippers gave Leonard a lot of offensive opportunities, for which the Clippers really paid a huge price, you must know that if Leonard's offensive state is better, then the Clippers may win the game, and finally Leonard got 15 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists in 7 of 17, including 0 of 5 outside three-pointers. And the Clippers should not take the blame for losing Harden, after all, Harden has played aggressively in this game, and when Leonard returned, Harden also gave up the ball, but at some times Harden was still able to help the team on the offensive end, it can be said that Harden has done his best, and finally Harden got 22 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists in 6 of 14.
