After trailing 38-35 in the first quarter, the Clippers bounced back in the second and were up by eight at halftime. The Mavs responded with a 19-6 run, only to break down offensively and defensively towards the end of the period.

Following a 24-4 blitz, the Clippers took over the control of the game and then managed to hold off Dallas in the final quarter with some clutch threes by Reggie Jackson and Marcus Morris Sr.

Kawhi Leonard followed up his 45-point performance in Game 6 with a near triple-double in Game 7. He had 28 points, 10 rebounds, and nine assists and played some great defense on Mavs phenom Luka Doncic down the stretch.

“It’s all about the moment,” said Leonard after the game. “You got to be aggressive all night and don’t try to make the game be perfect.”

The Clippers also had huge help from their bench, getting 24 points combined from Terance Mann and Luke Kennard alone.

Doncic put another ridiculous performance for Dallas, finishing the game with 46 points, 14 assists, and seven rebounds. And while the Mavs’ other four starters also reached double digits in points, the production of their bench was abysmal. All they got was four points and two rebounds from Dwight Powell, while Jalen Brunson managed two points, four boards, and one assist.

The Los Angeles Clippers will now look to further cement their status as a championship contender in a second-round matchup against the No. 1 seeded Utah Jazz.

The Mavericks are back to the drawing board and need to figure out how to prevent another early playoff exit next season.

Rivers also added that he thinks no other Clippers’ player could potentially opt out. However, he and the team would be supportive if things change in the meantime.

“It is their choice and we support that.” “There are so many reasons for everybody to play but there are also very valid reasons for guys to opt out.”

Not having Lou Williams on the roster would be a tough blow for the Clippers as they are expected to be one of the main contenders for NBA title in Orlando. Despite entering from the bench, Williams was the Clippers’ third highest-scoring player this season, averaging 18.6 points per game. He was also adding 3.1 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game.
