Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks will look to advance to the second round for the first time in three years. For the last two years, the Los Angeles Clippers have eliminated them in the first round. But this time, the story is different as they hold a 3-2 series lead over the Utah Jazz and will look to close them out in game 6. And with Luka Doncic playing with so much swagger and confidence, they will feel like they can go through with ease.
Luka Doncic was in full swag after he hit a huge shot over the Jazz in the third quarter. Daniel House, who is proved himself a good defender, guarded him. But he was no match for Luka, who hit the step back with ease to cut the lead to 1. And after hitting the shot, he turned to the Jazz fans and made a mocking face at them as he went back.

Dallas will look to advance but they have a tough task
In the last two years, the Mavs have faced the Clippers in the first round. And they have had to deal with injuries as well. Even though they were up on the Clippers last year, they let them come back and win the series in 7. They weren’t able to get Doncic consistent help and this has hurt them dearly. However, this time it’s different. When Doncic was out, Jalen Brunson and Spencer Dinwiddie stepped up and they carried the Mavs. And with Luka back and firing on all cylinders, the Mavs will feel like they can advance to the next round.

But this is a tough job. The Jazz will fight for their season, and they will have the home court behind them. However, they will have to put up a mighty performance as they were blown out in the last game. They will also have to deal with Luka, who has put 30 and 33 in the last two games. He had missed the first three games of the series because of injury.
