Meanwhile, tonight's LA Clippers vs Dallas Mavericks contest has a different narrative in the first half, with the road team putting on a defensive clinic to slow down the Mavericks' offensive efforts.
Without the services of Kawhi Leonard (knee inflammation), the Clippers have responded well to the playoff pressure as Paul George and James Harden have set the tone for them.
The Mavericks, on the other hand, have hampered their offensive flow with limited production from the supporting cast of players, such as PJ Washington, Derrick Jones Jr. and Daniel Gafford.
The Clippers' shotmaking and defensive tenacity powered them to a strong first-quarter finish (39-16).
Interestingly, the Mavericks started to chip away slowly into the 31-point deficit in the second quarter before the end of the first half. However, for every small run Dallas would go on, the Clippers would counter with some tough shotmaking.
