Who knew a playoff win felt so good? Well, I did — four years ago — but it feels nice for it to be back. After holding our breath for the entire fourth quarter, we can now exhale knowing that the Mavericks have safely escaped Game 2, evening the series against the Clippers at 1-1.
Some numbers for your consideration:
15-2: the Mavericks run to open the first quarter
After an atrocious opening in Game 1, the Mavericks looked like a completely different team to start this game. Doncic looked extremely sharp, putting up an eight point, four rebound, and three assist line during the opening stretch.
