Los Angeles is bad and it’s getting worse with a simplistic offense, lack of previously elite defense and no answers from coach or players.

Klay Thompson has had a tough stretch. Still searching for his shot, he also got involved in an altercation with Ja Morant and with Miami Heat two-way player Myron Gardner two days later, with Morant calling him a "bum" and Gardner saying he's "trash."

Cooper Flagg logró su mejor marca de la temporada con 35 puntos y Klay Thompson anotó 17 de sus 23 unidades en el último cuarto para llevar el sábado a los Mavericks de Dallas a una victoria de 114-110 sobre los Clippers de Los Ángeles.

Kawhi Leonard scores 39 points and James Harden adds 23, but the Clippers can’t protect a 13-point halftime lead and lose for the 12th time in 14 games, 112-107.

Jason Kidd told reporters the Mavericks planned to rest Davis for the second leg of their back-to-back in Los Angeles.

Washington's injury leaves the Mavericks with just three healthy frontcourt players—Dwight Powell, Naji Marshall and Moussa Cisse—against Los Angeles. Dallas entered the locker room at halftime trailing the Clippers by seven points.
