The Dallas Mavericks were able to overcome significant injuries to beat a careening Clippers squad 114-110 in Los Angeles. Big performances from Cooper Flagg, Klay Thompson, and Dwight Powell helped to secure this win, which Mavs fans should savor, as the schedule takes a brutal turn in the next few weeks.
The game took a rough turn before it even started, as P.J. Washington suffered an ankle sprain in layup lines, because why not. Davis, Washington, Dereck Lively, and Daniel Gafford all did not play, leading to a frontcourt of Dwight Powell and Moussa Cisse leading the charge. While this should have spelled defeat, these three numbers should help to explain how Dallas overcame the odds against the Clippers.
