In the marquee game of the night, the Dallas Mavericks will seek revenge against the LA Clippers after their Game 1 loss.

Kawhi Leonard and Paul George put up great performances as the Clippers demonstrated excellent chemistry on the court. Lou Williams also showed us why he is considered among the best bench players in league.

Will the Mavericks' young duo make their mark with a win tonight? Or will the LA Clippers' defense stop the Mavericks' offense from taking off?
