The seminal moment of the first-round series between the Clippers and Mavericks last year, despite the outcome, was Luka Donu010diu0107 sinking a game-winning 3-pointer in Game 4.
Despite LA winning the series fairly comfortably, Donu010diu0107 had his way with the Clippers defense, which is why any discussion of the upcoming series has to start with Dallas’ head of the snake.
“What makes it difficult to guard Luka is dude’s built like a brick house, 6-8, all the confidence in the world,” Reggie Jackson said about Donu010diu0107. “He can really put it on the deck and pass, can score from all three levels, you know, the guy is just so far ahead in his third year, so, he’s fearless, he loves competing, he loves this game, very passionate about what he does and you can just tell by his play he puts in a lot of work.
