5 Takeaways from Foiled Game 4 Comeback

Close Game

The Dallas Mavericks came close to completing a stunning comeback against the Los Angeles Clippers in Game 4, but ultimately fell short with a final score of 96-93. The Mavericks trailed by as many as 21 points in the fourth quarter, but they rallied to cut the lead to just three points in the final minutes.

Clippers Defense

The Clippers' defense was a key factor in their victory. The Mavericks struggled to score against the Clippers' physical interior defense and were held to just 38% shooting from the field, including 28% from three-point range.

Doncic's Struggles

Luka Doncic, the Mavericks' All-Star point guard, had a tough game in Game 4. Doncic was held to just 18 points on 5-of-19 shooting and had seven turnovers. He also struggled defensively, as the Clippers targeted him with their pick-and-roll attack.

Powell's Impact

While Doncic struggled, Spencer Powell stepped up for the Mavericks. Powell led the team in scoring with 21 points and was a key factor in the Mavericks' comeback attempt.

Clippers Take Series Lead

With their Game 4 victory, the Clippers now hold a 3-1 lead in the series. The Mavericks need to win Game 5 at home in order to force a Game 6 in Los Angeles. Game 5 will be played on Wednesday, May 10th.
