LOS ANGELES — Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic came into Game 5 suffering from congestion and a lingering right knee sprain, which had caused him to be less mobile in the previous two games against the Clippers.
He didn’t appear to be affected by either on Wednesday night at Crypto.com Arena.
Doncic scored a game-high 35 points on 14-of-26 shooting and had seven rebounds and 10 assists to lead the Mavericks to a convincing 123-93 victory and a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven first-round playoff series.
