For Luka, the game against the Clippers vindicated his performance. After his incredible game one triple-double, some fans believed it was an aberration and that the Clippers would come back strong in game two. However, Doncic showed that his performance wasn’t just a one-game spectacle. While he didn’t get a triple-double, he improved on his scoring with 39 points.

Doncic put on a show against the Clippers

Doncic and the Mavericks entered the series against the LA Clippers with extra motivation. The Clippers had lost their last two games during the regular season. This dropped them from the third seed to the fourth seed. Some fans and analysts have speculated that the Clippers lost the third seed so that they could avoid meeting the Lakers in the NBA playoffs. For the Mavericks, this notion is severely insulting, and they are ready to show the Clippers why they made a mistake in trying to meet them.

Can Luka Doncic lead the Dallas Mavericks past the LA Clippers in this first-round series? They carry a major advantage right now, being up 2-0 in the series without having played in their home. If the Mavericks can win their next two games in Dallas, then they will complete a 4-0 sweep of the Clippers, and prepare to face either the Utah Jazz or the Memphis Grizzlies. But the Clippers are still one of the best teams in the league, so a victory won’t come easy for the Mavs.
