over the Los Angeles Clippers in Game 2 of their first-round playoff series. This victory marked a crucial leveling of the series at one game each, with the Mavericks showcasing a newfound defensive rigor.
Irving, too, adopted a rigorous defensive stance, notably picking up players full-court, which Clippers coach Tyronn Lue acknowledged had a substantial impact. The Mavericks' defensive strategy effectively stifled the Clippers, who had finished the regular season sixth in the NBA in field goal shooting at 48.9%. On Tuesday, Dallas held them to just 36.8% from the field, the lowest shooting percentage for the Clippers this season. They also limited the Clippers to 8-30 from three-point range, a sharp decline from the 50% shooting in Game 1.
“It’s a great opportunity to go out there and play against them,” Jones stated. “And like I said before, they’re human, they’re a man just like me. They put their pants on one leg at a time just like me. I fear no man. I have no fear in my heart for no one.”
