The Dallas Mavericks lost their second straight game, falling to the Los Angeles Clippers on the road Tuesday night, 113-101. Kawhi Leonard poured in 33 points for the Clippers with teammate Norman Powell scoring 27 off the bench. Luka Doncic continued his great season, scoring 43 points grabbing 11 rebounds, and dishing out seven assists.
Ivica Zubac punished Dallas early, to the tune of six points and two rebounds, but Luka Doncic drew three fouls on him in the opening five minutes. Doncic’s performance was rough early: 1 from 5 from the floor and 2 from 4 from the line, and that gave Los Angeles an early 15-6 advantage.
