LOS ANGELES – Not only did Luka Dončić hurt the Los Angeles Clippers with his offense on Tuesday night during Game 2 of this best-of-seven first-round playoff series at the Crypto.com Arena. But the Dallas Mavericks’ superstar point guard also did irreparable damage to the Clippers on defense. According to ESPN Stats & Information, the […]
LOS ANGELES –That meek and mild Dallas Mavericks’ team that fell behind by 29 points and lost Game 1 of this best-of-seven series against the Los Angeles Clippers fortunately was no where to be found on Tuesday. Instead, the Mavs came out in Game 2 like this was a heavyweight prize fight, and they promptly […]
LOS ANGELES – No way do the Dallas Mavericks anticipate the stars aligning exactly right for the Los Angeles Clippers in Game 2 of this best-of-seven series the way they did in the series opener Sunday. Mostly everything in the first half went sideways for the Mavs in Game 1, which the Clippers won, 109-97. […]
LOS ANGELES – When a reporter asked Dereck Lively II his thoughts on being back around his teammates, the Dallas Mavericks’ rookie center wasted no time delivering a succinct answer. “Man, I ain’t around my teammates,” Lively said. “I’m around my family. “There’s really been a lot going on in my life.

LOS ANGELES – That Dallas Mavericks’ squad that rambled through the NBA with an impressive 16-2 record down the stretch of the regular season was nowhere to be found on Sunday afternoon when it mattered most. And it cost them dearly. The Los Angeles Clippers walked out of Crypto.com Arena with a 109-97 victory over […]
LOS ANGELES – It’s game day, and one caveat the Dallas Mavericks have working in their favor entering Game 1 of their best-of-seven playoff series against the Los Angeles Clippers is that the Clippers haven’t played against this Mavs team. Sure, the Clippers played the Mavs three times this season, and won two of them. […]
LOS ANGELES – Arguably one of the best one-two punches at the center position in the NBA is what the Dallas Mavericks have in veteran Daniel Gafford and rookie Dereck Lively II. Gafford is the wily five-year veteran who starts the game and softens up the defense with his aggressive dunks and numerous attacks around […]
No one would blame Dallas Mavericks coach Jason Kidd if he opened up his office door and shouted “I told you so” to anyone who would listen. After the Mavs suffered an embarrassing 137-120 loss at home to the Indiana Pacers on March 5, Kidd said: “Our offense is one of the best in the […]
