It is Game 6 for Clippers and Mavericks in Playoffs, which has become an interesting turn of events for the two sides. After a 154-111 in Game 5, Mavericks will be finding their way to victory. On the other hand, Clippers hold the opportunity of closing the series to ascertain a spot in the Conference semifinals.
After Dallas star, Luka Doncic knocked down the Game 4 buzzer-beater to even the series, uncertainty has unfolded for the team. Their key man, Kristaps Porzingis is not playing the rest of the series with a tear in his right knee. That leaves the young lineup with Luka leading from the front.
Marcus Morris Sr. supposedly stepped on Doncic’s ankle in the last match but that blame got denied by Morris. Luka’s presence in Game 6 was questionable before, but now he is officially going to be there on this crucial day.

Clippers have found the right team tuning at the right time
Doncic scored just 22 points in the previous match that handed Clippers a 3-2 lead in the series. Mavericks are struggling against the experienced Clippers lineup and have failed to hold themselves together in the previous game. The young bunch of players is falling apart while trying to stop the likes of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George.
Paul gave a comeback performance the last time he was seen on the court. He bagged 35 points and Leonard added 32 to the unstoppable victory. It was a high scoring affair that led their team total to a 154 by the end of it.
Montrezl Harrell also found his form that night with 19 points and 11 rebounds. That is some added pressure for their opponents.
