According to ESPN Stats & Information, the Clippers shot 2-of-17 from the floor when Doncic was the primary defender. The Clippers missed all 11 shots that Doncic contested, the second-most field goal attempts contested without allowing a make in a playoff game over the past five years.

"I accept it," Doncic said regarding the Clippers' strategy of attempting to attack him as often as possible. "It gets me going on defensive end too. That's fine. I think I played good defense today. I've just got to stay locked in."

By losing Sunday afternoon, Dallas lost homecourt advantage and the series is tied 2-2. That sets up a pivotal Game 5 on Wednesday in Los Angeles.

In NBA history, when series are tied at 2-2, the Game 5 winner goes on to win the series 81.7% percent of the time.

Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic declared himself ready for Wednesday's pivotal Game 5 against the LA Clippers but acknowledged that he would "probably not" be playing on his sprained right knee if this were the regular season.
"Not good," Doncic said when asked how his knee feels. "Could be way better, but it is what it is."
Doncic, who injured the knee in the first quarter of Game 3, said he hasn't made any explosive movements since playing 45 minutes in Sunday's Game 4 loss. He said he received "a lot of treatment" over the past two days, when his basketball activity was limited to primarily shooting.

Mavs in a one sided butt kicking. 30 pt win over teh Clippers. Go up 3-2 in the series.

Luka kinda reminds me of when Magic Johnson was dominating. When he wanted to do something, it just happened

btw - seems to me that there are more Assistant Coaches than players. They were two-three deep in the fans section. Do they have to buy tickets?

good job, chaps.
