Luka Doncic Leads Mavericks to Game 2 Victory Over Clippers, Ties Series at 1-1

In a thrilling Game 2 matchup between the Dallas Mavericks and the Los Angeles Clippers, Luka Doncic led his team to a crucial victory to even the series at one game apiece. Doncic’s 32 points and clutch plays down the stretch spoiled Kawhi Leonard’s return to the lineup after missing the last nine games with a knee injury.
