No Kawhi Leonard? No problem. The Clippers evened their first-round series against the Mavericks without their star forward, holding off a furious Dallas comeback and winning Game 4 on the road.
The Clippers held a 31-point lead midway through the second quarter of Game 4, but the Mavericks climbed out of that hole and took a one-point lead with just two minutes left in the game. Los Angeles held on thanks to 33-point performances from James Harden and Paul George.
Despite an efficient 40 points from Kyrie Irving and a triple-double from Luka Doncic, Dallas was unable to capture a 3-1 lead. The Mavericks made just 11 3-pointers as a team, a mark that Harden and George matched by themselves.
The big question is whether the Clippers can keep finding success without Leonard, who has already been ruled out for Game 5 because of a nagging knee injury.
