Clippers have found the right team tuning at the right time

Doncic scored just 22 points in the previous match that handed Clippers a 3-2 lead in the series. Mavericks are struggling against the experienced Clippers lineup and have failed to hold themselves together in the previous game. The young bunch of players is falling apart while trying to stop the likes of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George.

Paul gave a comeback performance the last time he was seen on the court. He bagged 35 points and Leonard added 32 to the unstoppable victory. It was a high scoring affair that led their team total to a 154 by the end of it.

Montrezl Harrell also found his form that night with 19 points and 11 rebounds. That is some added pressure for their opponents.

Clippers have their tremendous bench strength to flaunt and that is doing wonders for them. When it comes to Lou Williams and his set of players, Clippers hold an edge above in that area.
