The Dallas Mavericks overcame the blow they received this morning (Wednesday) when they lost a safe lead over the Clippers and saw a 92: 102 lead erased as the Clippers recorded a 1:11 run and forced overtime with a great Paul George three on the buzzer.
But the Mavericks rose in overtime, winning 104: 112 to reach a 7:10 balance.
Kristaps Forzingis, who scored 30 points, said: "For a moment you are disappointed because we were supposed to finish them, but as a team we are developing mentally."
The Latvian chin, who scores 20 points and up seven games in a row (career high), added: "We realized it was five minutes away, and we have to show who the better team is."

Luka Doncic came back after an absence and scored 26 points, and after Dallas trailed at the break, led the Mavericks to a third quarter of 38 points, with the Slovenian star finishing the quarter with 15 points and 4 assists leading to another 10 points. "Extra time already in the comeback game? It's hard," Doncic said, "but we won, and I'm happy."
His coach Jason Kidd complimented Luca: "He plays at a very high level. He did not force anything. Sometimes when a star player returns, others may have to change their game, but that did not happen. Luca's preparation in the last two days has been at a very high level. He has "A great feeling for the game, and the other guys trust him, that he will always do the right thing."
Marcus Morris admits there is a rivalry between the Clippers and Dallas, but does not flatter Lucca too much.
"When you beat someone so much, it leaves them with a bad taste ... we beat them all the time, and then, until they win, it's our fault," Morris said, "but I like their team, they play well."
Morris referred to the Dallas star, saying, "The judges are sitting on my ass ... I'm not allowed to talk to Luca, I'm not even allowed to breathe on him."

The Lakers lost again, this time 106: 100 to New York, and went down to a negative balance, 10: 9. Russell Westbrook finished with a triple-double of 31 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists, but also added 6 turnovers. Russ exploded in the second half (25 points) and especially in the third quarter where the Lakers recorded an impressive comeback, but it was not enough.
After the game Westbrook was asked about his losses, given the fact that he is second in the league (4.9 per game, only James Harden ahead of him with 5.0 per game), and angrily replied to reporters. "Funny you're raising the issue now of the losses," Westbrook said, "I haven't heard you ask me about it in the last five games. Do you know why?"
Indeed, in the previous four games (before tonight’s loss) Westbrook had 12 losses in total.
In the four games before that, for the sake of illustration, he had 27. "It's funny," Westbrook said after laughing, "You guys are funny, man. You just make easy headlines. I had five losses in the first half, and only one in the second. So for me. , I know I made adjustments and did a good job of finding my place and being aggressive and starting to score instead of jumping in the air and delivering.
"So I know when I'm wrong.
One of the losses was when I stepped on the line and one of them just before the break.
So three of them, if you really look at the game, you know that okay, they're different.
Three losses I really lost the ball, and I take it upon myself.
But other than that, I'm fine. "
