Dončić puts the hurt on Clippers as Mavericks take 3-2 series lead

LOS ANGELES – Luka Donu010diu0107 might be fighting a knee sprain and an illness.

But on Wednesday night, it was the Los Angeles Clippers with the tight muscles.

There was no denying the magnitude of Game 5 in the most hotly contested series of the first round of the NBA playoffs.

The Mavericks played free and easy, rolled up a 25-point third-quarter lead and cruised to an impressive 123-93 smashing of the poor-shooting Clippers Wednesday night at Crypto.com Arena.

Donu010diu0107 allayed any fears that his knee or his respiratory system might give him problems.
