Westbrook and Harden Lead Clippers' Comeback Effort
In a highly-anticipated matchup, the Dallas Mavericks and Los Angeles Clippers faced off in Game 1 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals. The Mavs, led by All-Star Luka Doncic, came out firing, building a comfortable lead in the first half.
However, the Clippers came roaring back in the third quarter, outscoring Dallas by 16 points in the 14 minutes that Russell Westbrook and James Harden played together. The duo combined for 6% shooting during that stretch, helping to spark a Clippers' rally.
In the end, the Mavericks managed to hang on for a narrow 103-101 victory, but the Clippers' late run served as a warning shot. These two teams are evenly matched, and every game is likely to be a nail-biter.
Game 2 of the series will tip off on Wednesday at 3:30 pm EST. The Clippers will look to even the series, while the Mavericks will aim to extend their lead and take a commanding 2-0 advantage.
