James Harden scored 28 points to lead the Clippers in a blowout opening victory over the Mavericks 109-97 on Sunday to open their first-round playoff series.
The Los Angeles Clippers spent the last few days ahead of their highly-anticipated playoff matchup with the Dallas Mavericks wondering if their superstar, Kawhi Leonard, was going to be able to play.
James Harden scored 28 points, Ivica Zubac had a double-double and the Los Angeles Clippers defeated Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks 109-97 to win their playoff series opener on Sunday. The teams were meeting in the playoffs for the third time in five years, with the Clippers having won both previous series.
The Clippers dominated the first half, leading 56-30 at the break. It was the fewest points they've allowed in either half of a playoff game and a first-half playoff low for the Mavs, who were outscored 22-8 in the second quarter when they made just two field goals.
