Luka Doncic dazzled, dribbled behind his back and drained a one-legged step back three while scoring 39 points and the Dallas Mavericks defeated the Los Angeles Clippers 127-121 to take a 2-0 lead in the first-round playoff series on Tuesday night at Staples Center.
A rematch of the Western Conference first-round series from the bubble last year was on display between the number four seeded Los Angeles Clippers and number five seeded Dallas Mavericks.
Seeing the needs all around him, Dallas Mavericks Owner Mark Cuban donated $1 million to Winter Storm Recovery efforts locally. His efforts were quickly followed by donations from CEO Cynt Marshall, Head Coach Rick Carlisle, players Luka Doncic, Maxi Kleber, Dwight Powell and Tim Hardaway Jr., and members of The Mavs Foundation and the Mavs’ official jersey partner Chime.
