Kawhi Leonard silenced Dallas in his own way: he signed 36 points. That is why the Clippers, despite the deployment of Luka Doncic, who matched Leonard's score (added 10 rebounds and nine assists), ended up taking the win (107-110). But the Mavericks' tier was silent twice. One, with defeat. And another, at the end of the first quarter, to see lying on the parquet and screaming in pain to Dwight Powell . He had just broken the Achilles tendon of his right leg.
Leonard , who also won the individual duel to Doncic, was always responsible for having the Clippers in front of the scoreboard and also secured the victory when after two shooting failures of former Real Madrid player in the absence of 7.4 seconds by the end he captured the defensive rebound.
The Clippers franchise player forced Kristaps Porzingis , who was returning with the MaverIcks after being injured due to injury for several weeks (10 games), needed him personally and with six seconds to blow the horn he scored the two goals that ensured the victory of the Angelino team with partial 105-110. Although Doncic then scored a suspension shot, it only served to reduce the Clippers' lead in the final score to three.
If the defeat was painful, it was much more to see Dwight Howard (2.08) lying on the cold ground of the American Airlines Center in Dallas. The Canadian power forward, headline in most of his team's games, averaging almost 10 points per game, went to the infirmary supported by two people and with the Achilles tendon of his broken right leg. An abrupt end to his season and one less helper for Doncic, on the day he recovered Porzingis.
