After Game 4’s game winning shot by Mavs superstar Luka Doncic over Reggie Jackson, the Clippers came out with desperation and it worked for them as they go for a big run to give them a 15 point lead late in the first quarter. Clippers F Paul George finally found a way to score the ball by shooting 4-7 from the field and scoring 9 points in the first while Kawhi Leonard led the team with 15 points.
After the first quarter Luka Doncic had 9 points 2 rebounds and 2 assists while shooting 50% from the field thus far. Mavs F/C Kristaps Porzingis is out for his second straight game while dealing with a right knee soreness which is not looking so good for the Mavs as they are currently tied in this series 2-2.

While the Clippers continue rolling through the second quarter as they continue dominating the Mavs by shooting 10-17 from three in the first half and a combined 40 points by Kawhi Leonard and Paul George as Pandemic Paul finally found his shooting stroke shooting 8-12 in the first half.
Coming into the 3rd quarter the Clippers felt confident that they can contained the Mavs in this game and move to a Game 6 to try and advanced to the Semi Finals to face the winner from the Nuggets/Jazz series.

Paul George so far has 27 points on 10-16 shooting in the 3rd quarter with 7:38 remaining while Landry Shamet has been a key player off the bench for the Clippers shooting 100% from three and from the field with 11 points. Luka Doncic has been battling with a injured ankle since Game 3 and has been getting treatment during Games 4 and 5 while being on the bench during games. He currently has 20 points on 6-14 shooting from the field in 25 mins while Tim Hardaway has added 15 points off the bench to provide some scoring. I believe that Dallas does not have a shot in this series without Kristaps Porzingis returning back to the court. I know Luka was able to get in done in Game 4 without him but so many things had to go they’re way in order for them to win the game and I know the Clippers won’t let that happened again.
Mavs attempted to make a run late in the 3rd but the Clippers kept answering back on the other end allowing them to maintain a 25 point lead and head into the 4th. Luka is struggling from three point range shooting 1-6 in 31 mins and only 4 assists thus far which is low for Doncic. Seth Curry having a quite game with only 4 points on 5 total shot attempts which is low for him during the 4th quarter. Paul George as continued his good play throughout the game and leading the clippers with 30 points early in the 4th.

With the Clippers winning Game 5 and now leading the series 3-2, Question remains whether Porzingis will be available for Game 6 on Thursday. We will find out and see. Good News tho, Paul George has been found, at least for now.
