Playoffs Box fight for the ring
With the
Clippers
clinging to the game, a defender at the waist, and two others trying to cut him off,
Luka Doncic
still found a way to score
a one-legged triple
, one of those baskets that are worth more than the scoreboard counts.
With the infinite legend of
Dirk Nowitzki
in the stands, Doncic led the
Dallas Mavericks
to their second victory at
Staples Center
(121-127). If in the first it was a triple-double, in the second they fell
39 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists
.
Doncic has the keys to the Los Angeles defense in one pocket, and in the other the contempt they did to the Mavericks. Because looking at the possible
playoff draw
, the Clippers flopped to avoid the
Lakers
until the Western Finals. It did not matter that the price was to meet in the first round with Dallas, who made them suffer so much a year ago in the indelible baptism of the Slovenian.
Dallas has won the
first two games
and the Clippers find themselves at the foot of a mountain that very few have climbed:
only four teams in history have raised a 2-0 after losing
the first two games of a best-of-series series at home. seven.
And one of them was precisely Nowitzki's own Mavs (2005), who after seeing Doncic's one-legged triple got up from his seat, surrounded by cardboard spectators (pandemic stamp), to celebrate.
Just two attacks before, the Slovenian had scored against
Kawhi Leonard
(42 points) one of those iconic one-legged fade-aways of the German
It was Doncic but also
Tim Hardaway
(28 points, 6/8 in triples, including the one who killed the game down the
stretch
),
Kristaps Porzingis
(20), the great outside success (18/34), and the reaction on defense to take control of the game in the third quarter.
On the way to a second win that leaves the Clippers on the brink of seismic failure.
And that feeds the
Luka Doncic's love affair with the playoffs.
