Kawhi Leonard led the charge for Los Angeles, showcasing his impressive versatility with 33 points and 14 rebounds. Paul George also made significant contributions with 28 points, while Montrezl Harrell added 22 off the bench.
The Clippers' dominance was evident throughout the game. They shot 55.7% from the field, including 43.3% from three-point range. Defensively, they limited the Mavericks to just 42.3% shooting overall and forced 16 turnovers.
Luka Doncic, the Mavericks' star point guard, had a tough night, finishing with only 19 points on 6-of-18 shooting. His struggles set the tone for a demoralizing defeat for the Mavericks, who lacked the firepower to keep pace with the Clippers' offensive onslaught.
