Dallas won.
Now they are tied at 1-1.

That's the difference when KP is in unlike how refs ejected him the 1st game.
It should have been a win too.
5 fouls for Luka but the bench filled the hole. Burke had made a lot of good moves and made a good contribution for the team.
I like the Dallas team but now I love them.
Luka doesn't want out after the 5th foul but Coach Carlisle insisted. Trust the team.

At the first half, Boban and KP helps them to have the big lead. We should not also forget the 3 point shots of Luka where the clippers having a hard time to guard him. Even though KP is a 7 footer, he has good shooting ability where he can shoot beyond 3 point area. On the other hand, Kawhi is doing good but he can't fully lift the team because Paul George is not doing good. Actually the field goal percentage of Paul George is so low in that game.

yeah, Luka is the future, and prove that Dallas could pick a player, after Nowitzki long time ago, they now picked Doncic, and he will be a great star
title this season seems to be out of reach, but i think that they will pick a few with Luka in the coming years

congrats on last night match, and it is good to see support from Porzingis, but also Hardaway, Burke, Curry had a good role, with Marjanovic posing a solid one 13 pts and 9 rb

Luka Magic did it again and they've won against a defensive team like Clippers.
Their bench stepped up and KP didn't get ejected. If they will continue to play like this, there is a chance that the Battle of LA will not happen in the West Finals.
Maybe the injury of Beverley affected their defense. We know how good he is at defense.

Good that I placed my bet against the Mavs because I'm expecting for them to win this time since they only lost by 8 points without KP in Game 1.
I'd go with Mavs too with Game 3 but on the series, I think the Clippers will win in 7 games .

That for sure has an impact on the team considering his aggressiveness to go for offensive rebounds during the Game 1 that's a huge loss for them. I think it can take weeks as per Coach Rivers said and I don't think he'll able as well to play for the next game, we'll see that.

They still have Lou on them but that's just talking about the offense as a PG/SG they still need veteran PG like Beverly in the play.

Yeah, and props to their bench players, they did stepped up, and that was a huge factor on their win. Anyway, I wonder why Boban only played for a limited minutes? That guy had some insane stats for a 10 minutes playtime 13pts and 9rebs? He could've accomplished better numbers there, if he will be given more minutes to play  .

If these underdogs (Blazers, Mavs, Magic) maintain their composure. We might be able to see unexpected teams to win the series on the next round  .

Doncic is really something special, this dude is bringing Mavs against two superstars and a team that basically had one of the most amazing comebacks against a superteam last year, the clippers.

So, I think Mavs will do fine for themselves in the future, specially with some good enough trades and free agents or so, they could actually fight for a title if they are lucky, sometimes one team becomes so good that even though you are fine you get to not be champions for a while, but if the season is like this one, where all teams are closer to each other, I would say in few years Dallas will be contenders.

However, I still think this season Clippers will beat them and move to next round. Weird how first and second seed all lost a game, you would expect them to be much better.

Miami win at 109 | 100 over Pacers today's game. Incredible performance by Robinson: 24 PTS in 25 MIN at the playoffs.

Houston win at 111 | 98 over OKC today's game as well. Harden does it again without WB.

Both teams are pretty eager to step up into another series.

The 2020 NBA draft lottery just finished. Sorry Knicks fans, you got the 8th pick. 

Here are the results, the number 1 pick goes to T'Wolves, the second pick is for Golden State and third are Charlotte Hornets.
Prior to the lottery, the three teams with the worst winning % (GSW, Cavs, and T'wolves) had all the best shot of taking the number 1 pick sitting at 14%.
As of right now, the NBA draft is set to take place on October 16, but that may change if the new season is delayed.

Which young prospect do you think Minnesota will pick at #1, Anthony Edwards, LaMelo Ball, or James Wiseman?

That's only between Ball and Edwards I suppose but if for the better of Minnesota I'd rooting Ball on them the young lad has sure much experience especially what he gets from Australia NBL. Plus he will not be picked by the GSW, of course, because of Lavar. Well, if Timberwolves don't pick Ball he'd end up on Bills but I think there will be some trade to be done, I'd assume it will happen.
