Dallas Mavericks
The Dallas Mavericks (17-10) got into a spot of bother Thursday night and were undone by the LA Clippers after playing for the first time this term without star guards Doncic and Irving. Without their leaders, Klay Thompson, playing his first game for the Mavs led the scoring with 22 points. Spencer Dinwiddie added 19 and P.J. Washington helped with 14 points and 9 rebounds. The Mavs scored 34 field goals from 86 for 39.5% in FG. They made 7 of 30 3-pointers and lost the first half by a point. However, the Clippers eclipsed them in the second half. Even though P.J. Washington brought the match to a 5-point game with five to go, the Mavs impotent shot making meant the Clippers scored 12-1 to wrap up the game. Ahead of the rematch, Luka Doncic (left heel contusion) is still listed out but Kyrie Irving has been cleared to play.

The win in Dallas earned the LA Clippers a record of 6-6 away as Norman Powell scored 29 points to lead his team, while James Harden added 24 and Ivica Zubac chipped in 21 points and 15 rebounds. The Clippers took full advantage of a blunt Mavericks offense to win the game with a 23 point difference. Clippers were so dominant they hit just under 70% of their field goal attempts. Ivica Zubac didn’t have a rebound in the opening quarter but came alive in the latter stages of the third during a 12-1 run in which the Mavs missed all their field goal attempts. The win earned the Clippers consecutive victories after three losses.
