Luka Doncic took control of the game in Game 2 of the NBA playoff series, as his Dallas team defeated the visiting Los Angeles Clippers 96-93.
And with that, it tied the score at 1-1, with two games to follow in the hall of the team from Texas.
The Slovenian ace scored 32 points, added 6 rebounds and 9 assists in his wonderful performance, which was well assisted by fellow Mavericks star Kyrie Irving.
He finished with 23 points, drawing two crucial late fouls to keep the Clippers away from a turnaround.
Kawhi Leonard returned from injury for the home team and scored 15 points. The other two aces, James Harden and Paul George, contributed 22 points each, but were overshadowed by Doncic this morning.
Also in the West, Minnesota defeated Phoenix in its hall for the second time – 105:93, to take the reins of the series 2-0. Jaden McDaniels scored 25 points for the winners.
The visitors responded with the shooting of their stars Devin Booker (20 points) and Kevin Durant (18), but had a second consecutive lackluster night in Minneapolis.
In the East, Indiana surprisingly easily defeated Milwaukee at home, 125-108, to even the series at 1-1. The visitors won each of the four parts, with Pascal Siakam scoring 37 points (plus 11 rebounds and 6 assists).
The hosts felt the absence of Giannis Antetokounmpo this time around, with Damian Lillard missing the win despite scoring 34 points.
