On May 4, the NBA playoffs resumed, and the Clippers challenged the Mavericks away. However, the Clippers fell behind by double digits at one point after a rough start, but they were not discouraged and fought back tenaciously to miraculously tie the score at halftime.
However, "there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck". In the second half, the Clippers seemed to have encountered a "curse", and the offensive end was dumb again, while the Mavericks' Irving was like a "tiger with wings", scoring consecutive points, directly widening the difference to more than 20 points, making the game lose suspense early. In the end, the Clippers lost 101-114, 2-4, and regrettably bid farewell to the playoff stage this season.
In this game, the Clippers' starting lineup was adjusted, and the veteran Tucker was entrusted with the important task, but the opponent was strong, and the two superstars, Doncic and Irving, played well and teamed up to score high points, which became the key to the Mavericks' victory. And the Clippers' Harden, although his stats seem good, has been disappointing on the offensive end, and the loss of key moments has put the team in a difficult situation.
"Victory and defeat are a common thing", but the Clippers' defeat is doubly regrettable. They had a chance to pull off a miracle, but in the end they couldn't resist the strength of their opponents. However, that doesn't mean the future of the Clippers is dark, and they still have a chance to make a comeback next season and challenge for a championship again. For the fans, it is more important for us to see the team grow and improve in the face of adversity, and I believe that they will show even better performances in the future games.
So, dear fans, let's cheer for the Clippers! In the days to come, let us continue to support them, accompany them through every difficult moment, and welcome a more brilliant tomorrow together!
