LOS ANGELES -- The Dallas Mavericks' series-tying 96-93 win over the LA Clippers in Tuesday's Game 2 featured a couple of typical Luka Doncic moments down the stretch, displays of his combination of extraordinary skill and intense passion.
Doncic swished a pair of critical stepback 3s from the top of the arc in the fourth quarter, punctuating both by looking toward the stands and shouting in exhilaration. The first, which was contested by Kawhi Leonard, gave the Mavs the lead for good with 7:03 remaining. The second, which was over James Harden, served as a dagger with 1:26 remaining.
