Dallas Mavericks Close Out Clippers in Game 6: 3 Game-Changing Plays

The Dallas Mavericks wanted to close this series out on their home floor. They didn't want to take any chances of this series going back to Los Angeles for a potential Game 7. With Kyrie Irving , who entered the game a perfect 12-0 in close-out games, they knew they had a good chance.

It may have honestly been for the best. Dallas would tie it again before the half but emerged from the locker room dialed in and guns blazing. This dunk was a release of some pent-up frustration by Gafford, who had his best game of the series. He had averaged just 4.8 PPG and 3.0 RPG this series heading into Game 6 but finished with 13 points and 6 rebounds in the closeout game.This play was a microcosm of the third quarter. The Mavericks were more willing to hustle to the ball and Kyrie Irving was just cooking the entire second half, as he has all series. For the game, Dallas snagged 17 offensive rebounds.
