The Game 1 result of their Western Conference matchup with the Dallas Mavericks pleased Los Angeles Clippers coach Doc Rivers, but he wasn't completely happy with the performance.
Regardless, Rivers believes there will be improvement Wednesday when the Clippers meet the Mavericks in Game 2 at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex near Orlando.
The Clippers prevailed 118-110 on Monday. Kawhi Leonard had 29 points, 12 rebounds, six assists and three steals, while Paul George contributed 27 points for Los Angeles. Marcus Morris Sr. added 19 points.
"We've got a lot to build from. We're going to look at the film and see what we can improve from," said Leonard, who connected on 11-of-21 shots from the floor but misfired on six of his seven 3-point attempts.
