Clippers Out-duel Mavs in Texas Shootout


In this thrilling Texas Shootout; the Los Angeles Clippers edged past the Dallas Mavericks 110-107 in a battle between two Western Conference contenders. Kawhi Leonard was again the man-of-the-moment; continuing his recent stellar play with another super-human effort to take his Clippers past the finishing line; at the same time extending his run of 30-point games to six; third only behind World B. Free & Bob McAdoo in Braves/Clippers franchise history.

The Mavericks; led by 20-year old superstar Luka Doncic & buffeted at times by 'Twin Towers' Kristaps Porzingis & Boban Marjanovic; gave a good fight of it; coming back in the final two quarters to ensure a thrilling climax. In the end; Landry Shamet's two three-pointers proved the difference; as Doncic missed the crucial last-ditch free-throw to end the Mavs' challenge.
