Los Angeles star scores 45 points and series is tied 3-3.
Once again, the visiting team got the better of the duel between the Dallas Mavericks and the Los Angeles Clippers, with the California team winning by 104-97. And that thanks to the gala performance of Leronard Kawhi, who scored 45 points for the Clippers, got it 6 rebounds and 3 assists. The winger became the sixth player in league history, considering only the period since the throwback was introduced, to score at least 45 points of 72% shooting. He scored 42 of the Clippers’ last 68 points. In away games, only Charles Barkley, Lebron Janmes and Jamal Murray managed to do what he did in yesterday’s match.
So far, in the six games of the series, the home team has been defeated, something unprecedented in the history of the NBA playoffs. This Sunday, at 4:30 pm EDT, the Los Angeles Clippers will host the Dallas Mavericks for Game 7 and the final of the series. The California team has the advantage of deciding at home for having had a better campaign in the regular season.
