Depending on your perspective, there are so many ways to look at Sunday’s Game 4 of the Mavericks’ first-round series against the Los Angeles Clippers.
You might say that the Mavericks got waylaid by a Clippers’ haymaker and simply made a cosmetic comeback that eventually caused them to run out of gas when they finally got in position to win the game late.
Or, another way to look at it is that the Clippers had a masterful shooting night (18-of-29, 62 percent from three-point range) and that there is no chance of them duplicating that kind of rare shooting night going forward.
