LA Clippers vs Dallas Mavericks - Game 2

Game Breakdown

END OF GAME BREAKDOWN (3:00, 79 - 84 DAL)

• Luka straight isolation, no movement around it ends with Harden playing really solid defense and a late Luka pass that results in shot clock violation

• Clippers catch DJJ “napping” in the lane vs PG13 which gets him a touch and forces help…he drops it off to Zubac for the dunk (81 - 84 DAL)

• Mavs have decided to just hunt Harden, this time with Kyrie….Kawhi comes for the double…Luka gets the pass out and holds it to iso PG13 who ALMOST rips him…Luka regains control and hits Kleber on weakside wing for C&S 3PM (81 - 87 DAL)

• PG13 with a downhill drive and dump off to Zubac in the dunker, GREAT recovery and active hands by Kleber to force a loose ball (Russ recovers it)....pass out to Kawhi for a CONTESTED C&S 3PA that is missed

• Luka straight isolation vs Harden, again……hits just a RIDICULOUS stepback 3P as shot clock expires (81 - 90 DAL)

• Harden 3PM ATO as DJJ and Luka completely blow a ghost screen coverage (84 - 90 DAL)

• Kyrie’s turn on Harden, gets by him but misses the mid range pull up jump shot

• PG13 with another downhill drive and dump off to Zubac that he converts (86 - 90 DAL)
