Clippers need a better version of Kawhi Leonard to win Game 3
Kawhi Leonard loses control of the ball while guarded by Luka Doncic in Game 2. The Clippers lost Game 2 to the Dallas Mavericks Tuesday night at Crypto.com Arena and in the process lost the home-court advantage in the Western Conference best-of-seven playoff series that’s now tied at 1-1. “Win Game 3,” Lue said late Tuesday night after his crew’s three-point loss. We’ll get our timing back, our rhythm back and getting a better flow.” Even the practices the Clippers had didn’t allow Leonard to get into game shape because he didn’t participate in the contact part of the sessions. “But we still got more games to play, more time to get better and that’s what I’m focused on.” The Clippers’ next two playoff games will be in Dallas, with Game 3 Friday night and Game 4 Sunday afternoon.
