Luka Doncic had 35 points, 14 rebounds and 13 assists and hit game tying 3-pointers in the closing seconds of regulation and in the first overtime to lead the Dallas Mavericks to a 119-115 double-overtime win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday night at Crypto.com Arena.
After an historic series that saw the first six games won by the road team, Kawhi Leonard put an end to the streak and the Los Angeles Clippers protected home court.
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.
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.
The Los Angeles Clippers were up by one point with three seconds left in overtime when young Dallas Mavericks forward Luka Doncic took an inbounds pass. He scrambled to find his footing and launched the ball from beyond the arc to help Dallas tie their Playoff series with a 135-133 victory.
A strong second-half effort would gain the Lakers their fifth straight home game win.
