In a series of up to four wins, the score became 3-3. The decisive game will be played in Los Angeles.
After three halves, the Dallas guests still had a four-point lead, but their attack with Luka Dončičius began to stagnate. Slovenia scored 29 points in this match, but nearly half of them in the closing minutes, when the winner of the match was already clear.
Meanwhile, Clippers leader Kawhi Leonard played fantastic when the team needed him most. The MVP of the match closed the duel with 45 points.
Two of their impressive 3s, two minutes earlier, the Los Angeles team advanced by eight points (98:90) and the Mavs failed to survive.
VIDEO: Match summary
We remind you that the problem of L. Dončičius in the Slovenian national team may also be solved in this series. True, in theory, L. Dončičius could reach the Olympic qualifying tournament even after the end of the Western Conference semi-final series. If the Texas team crosses the Utah Jazz barrier, the Slovenian in Kaunas would definitely have to perform without its brightest star.
The Olympic qualifying competitions will be played at the Žalgiris Arena from June 22 to July 4.
The Phoenix Suns and Denver Nuggets will play the next Western Conference semifinals.
“Mavericks”: Luka Dončičius 29 (8s, 11 res.), Tim Hardaway 23, Boban Marjanovičius 11 (9 reps), Dorian Finney-Smith 11
“Pair of scissors”: Kawhi Leonard 45, Reggie Jackson 25, Paul George 20 (Rev. 13).
