LOS ANGELES – It’s no secret that the Dallas Mavericks desperately needed a win to stop their three-game losing streak.
Enter Luka Doncic.
After missing the previous three games due to sprains in his left knee and left ankle, Doncic returned Tuesday and delivered a masterpiece. Admittedly tired after playing 41 grueling minutes in his first game in over a week, Doncic was the catalyst the Mavs used to emerge from STAPLES Center with an impressive 112-104 victory in overtime over the Clippers.
As forward Kristaps Porzingis so aptly put it, a lot of the intangibles works so smoothly for the Mavs on the offensive end of the court because of all the attention defenses have to give Doncic.
