LOS ANGELES -- From the moment Luka Doncic declared for the NBA draft in 2018, this game was coming.
The game when it became clear he wasn't just a great talent, but one who was ready to lead a team to a win against any opponent, in any playoff series, in any arena.
Doncic has been great throughout this first round playoff series against the LA Clippers. But he was otherworldly Wednesday night in leading the Dallas Mavericks to a 105-100 win and a 3-2 series lead over the Clippers.
Playing with tape all over his injured left shoulder, the third-year guard finished with a game-high 42 points, 14 assists and eight rebounds.
