The Dallas Mavericks were up as many as 25 and it looked like the game was over by the half. But the Clippers stormed back in the third quarter and they took the lead in the fourth. The game was back and forth after that, but the Mavs had a slight lead in the closing minutes. The Clippers cut it one, and it looked like they would get a chance to win the game. But ‘Luka Magic’ called game instead.
