Dallas Mavericks
Dallas had a mediocre regular season but managed to avoid play-in games and finished in fifth place in the Western Conference standings. Mavericks anticipated their playoff matchup with the Clippers several games before the end of the regular season. The team lost its final two matches but held onto the fifth spot. In the opening match, Dallas struggled in the first half and suffered a predictable defeat despite the scoring efforts of Doncic and Irving.
Los Angeles Clippers
The Clippers, like their opponent, lost several of their last regular-season games, but their fourth-place position was already secure. The Californians had a superb start to the playoff series, dominating their opponent in the first two quarters. Leonard Kawhi returned to action in the second match after a knee injury but failed to impress with his 15 points, and his team eventually lost despite leading for most of the final quarter.
Head-To-Head and Key Numbers
- Dallas has lost only one of their last eight home games.
- The Clippers perform well on the road and have lost only once in their last seven away games.
- This season, the teams have already met five times, with the Clippers leading 3-2.
