The return of Kawhi Leonard for the Clippers was highly anticipated, but he struggled to find his rhythm after missing Game 1 due to knee inflammation. Despite James Harden and Paul George’s efforts with 22 points each, the Clippers couldn’t overcome their poor shooting performance, hitting only 36.8 percent from the field and 26.7 percent from three-point range.
Despite the star power on both teams, it was Doncic who stood out with his stellar performance, guiding the Mavericks to victory and asserting their dominance on their home court.
