Such a golden opportunity. The Clippers came in here and pretty much laid an egg outside of Kawhi and a great first quarter from Jackson. Down the stretch, the Mavs let the only serious threat they faced beat them. They didn’t even try to trick up the defense. In contrast, the Clippers threw every defensive look available at Luka. When they go back to LA, PG and the rest of the Clippers supporting cast will be much better. I doubt that the Mavs will get another chance to win this series by just playing a solid game. They’ll have to come up with one of the greatest games in franchise history. Victory would be a shock.
