Several times during the Dallas Mavericks’ Sunday clash with the Los Angeles Clippers, Luka Doncic looked up to the American Airlines Center rafters, raised...
But he likely won’t remember Sunday’s contest fondly.
Though coach Jason Kidd said Doncic’s foul trouble had no effect on the team’s rhythm, the 23-year-old superstar exited with the Mavericks up by nine , their largest advantage of the game. “A lot of guys you can double-team and try to take the ball out of their hands and they just give it up, but he picks you apart,” Clippers coach Ty Lue said, “so you’ve got to kind of pick your poison when you’re dealing with him. Are you going to let him score 40 and try to take everybody else out? Or do you want him to score 26 and have 17 assists?”The Clippers started former playoff nemesis Marcus Morris on Doncic — who dropped 43 points in the Mavericks’ Jan.
Streaky runs and local fan focus on the Cowboys might not have fueled a playoff-like atmosphere this time in American Airlines Center, but implications for the West standings lingered amid the conference’s significant parity this season.
