The Los Angeles Clippers defeated the Dallas Mavericks in Game 1 of the NBA playoffs on Sunday.
The future Hall of Famer in his first season in Los Angeles is schooling the longest-tenured Clipper. It paid off in their playoff series opener.
Harden hit 6 of 11 3-pointers and had eight assists. George finished with 22 points after the Mavs slowed him in the first half. The Clippers outdid the Mavs at their own 3-point game, making 18 of 36 from long range to 10 of 33 for Dallas.The Clippers had five players in double figures without Kawhi Leonard. The two-time NBA Finals MVP hasn't played since March 31 because of inflammation in his surgically repaired right knee.
“Their mentality was next man up and they did very well, very well,” Doncic said. “We just got to stay focused 48 minutes.”“Luka was finding the open guy. We just didn't shoot well,” Mavs coach Jason Kidd said. “I like the way we played in the second half and we got to build on that.” The Mavs revived themselves in the third, when Doncic and Irving combined for 29 of their 34 points. But they still trailed 87-64 going into the fourth. George's 3-pointer put the Clippers ahead by 29, their largest lead.
“In a playoff game, man, scoring eight points feels like forever," Irving said. “It started with how we started off the second quarter and allowed them to feel very comfortable in that first quarter and there was carryover. We got to give them credit for hitting shots and doing the right thing. Capitalizing off our turnovers and our lack of physicality.”
