Kawhi
Leonard, with another colossal performance in front of Los Angeles Clippers, ended the dreams and aspirations of a Dallas Mavericks brave but limited in which Luka
Doncic he found himself very alone and overcome. The Angelenos won Game 7 of the tie 126-111, ending the Mavs’ season.
The first quarter began as a continuation of what the series had been, with the equality per flag. Both teams showed the nerves of a seventh game but Kawhi
Leonard Y Luka
Doncic they were immediately ready for a major challenge.
The Slovenian scored an exceptional first round, hardly without failures. Their readings they were fantastic and their total impact. However, the defending he flopped in Dallas and allowed the Clippers to go ahead.
The second quarter showed us the worst face of the Mavericks, lost without Luka on the track and with a Boban
Marjanovic that he could not compensate in attack what was left in defense. Jackson, Kennard and Batum They took the opportunity to become protagonists and send Los Angeles 8 up to rest.
The Mavericks came out like a shot after going through the locker room and became strong from the zone defense raised by Rick Carlisle. A 6-19 run for the Texans allowed them to regain control on the scoreboard with a Porzingis inspired.
Kawhi then led the recovery of the Clippers, taking advantage of a few minutes of low level of Luka
Doncic and that Boban was again weak in defense. The Angelenos finished the third quarter with a huge advantage that turned things on their heads before the final round.
With the Mavs sunk and Kawhi in a state of grace, the fourth quarter turned into a Clippers recital. Leonard, clad in his robot suit, beat Dallas over and over again, while the Carlisle They failed to score shots during endless stretches of the game.
And appeared Doncic. A spectacular triple from the Slovenian closed a 20-8 run for Dallas that brought his team within 7 points of his rival. However, Morris Y Jackson they responded with triples that sentenced the Mavericks’ options.
The Clippers will have to improve a lot heading into the semifinals of conference but winning a seventh game is a boost like no other. The Mavericks put an end to their season, the third of Doncic, with the feeling of having a lot of work ahead of him.
