How much Luka Doncic loves the encounters with the Clippers. A year after the exemplary personal series that was not enough to pass them in the first round, the Slovenian star showed that maybe this time it could end differently. Despite receiving a double save for the entire game, despite quality guards like Kwai Leonard and Paul George trying to harass him time and time again, Doncic recorded a third triple-double in seven playoff games with 31 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds, and was aided by ability A favor from the team that helps to steal the home team from LA, in a game that once again illustrates the mental problems of Kwai, Paul George & Co.
The Mavericks went up to a quick double-digit lead in the first quarter, and from there the Clippers chased after them the entire game. A fantastic shooting day for the Mavericks with close to 50 percent off the arc (17 of 36) helped the Mavericks get the win, but what helped them no less is also the crash of the Clippers in the last minutes. Three minutes to go, Paul George equalized, but the Mavericks finished the game with a 0:10 run, with the Clippers remaining with 1 of 6 from the field and 1 of 3 from the penalty spot.
Those who helped Doncic in the last quarter were not easy, even one field goal, were Tim Hardaway Jr. with 21, Dorian Pini Smith with 18, Jaylen Branson with 15 and also Kristaps Forzingis who did not stand out on both sides of the field, but rose in the last minutes And finished with 14 points.
Kwai Leonard, on the other hand, was very good with 26, 10 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 steals, Paul George tried to take control of the game in the last quarter and finished with 23, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, but the bottom line is just not enough for the Clippers , Who receive a warning light immediately upon the start of the playoffs.

It was far from being the statement game of Durant, Irving and Harden, but somehow they survived their first test. The opening was worrisome: the Nets, who were one of the best offensive teams in the NBA in the regular season, scored just 16 points in the first quarter, finishing it without threes, while on the other hand Jayso Taitum continues to be fit from recent times and does whatever he pleases.
The Hunts 'Big Three, who cooperated in just 202 minutes in the regular season, recovered in time: The fourth quarter opened with a 4:15 run by the Hunts, which gave Brooklyn a margin of confidence and closed out interest in front of the Celtics' short blanket.
The three stars of the Hunts added no less than 82 points in common, and meanwhile their talent alone was enough: Kevin Durant was above them all with 32 points and 11 rebounds, Kyrie Irving added 29 and James Harden contributed 21, 9 rebounds and 8 assists.
On the other hand, Jason Taitum who scored 15 points in the first quarter, added just 7 to his balance until the buzzer and finished with 22. Marcus Smart added 15, and Kamba Walker who got into an offense problem settled for 15.
A disappointing shooting evening.

Milwaukee (3) - Miami (6) 107: 109, after overtime (the Bucks went up to 0-1 in the series)
Last season the two met in the playoffs, and Miami won the series en route to the NBA Finals. This year they meet again in one of the most intriguing first-round series, and the opening game delivered the drama the league fans expected, with a tight, tight, fickle game, full of leaps on the hardwood and big baskets, including a crucial Middleton victory basket, 0.5 seconds to go.
As mentioned, after a game where the lead went from side to side, the close game went to the decisive moments. Yannis Antocompo scored just 2 of 6 from the line in the last minute of legal time, while on the other side Jimmy Butler penetrated well and scored a basket on the buzzer that sent the game into overtime (although until that point he was only with 3 of 18 from the field). In overtime Milwaukee took the lead, but 20 seconds to go Goran Dragic scored a big three to make it 107: 107. The last ball went to Middleton, who lingered a bit but managed to release a jumper from half distance, which became a basket of victory. Butler went for a hard last shot, which was blocked.
Antocompo finished with 26 points and 18 rebounds (plus 5 assists and 3 steals), but just as in the series last year he faltered with 50 percent from the line, tonight he was also with only 6 of 13 from the penalty line and revealed his problem in the post-season .
Middleton finished as the leading scorer with 27 points, Jero Holiday scored 20, Brock Lopez did a good job with 18 points and eight rebounds, and Milwaukee wins despite only 5 of 31 of the three.
Elijah Bryant, by the way, is not a partner.
Butler had a very disappointing evening (despite the basket on the buzzer that sent the game into overtime), finishing with 4 of 22 from the field en route to 17 points (10 rebounds, 8 assists).
Duncan Robinson scored 24, Goran Dragic scored 25, in a game in which Miami lost 64:51 on rebounds, but mentioned it was hard to eulogize it.
