Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic yells after scoring during the first half in Game 5 of an NBA basketball first-round playoff series against the Los Angeles Clippers Wednesday, May 1, 2024, in Los Angeles.

Doncic is playing on a sprained right knee that limited him at times in the series, but the Slovenian superstar clearly got more comfortable and more dangerous as Game 5 went on.

Both teams pulled their starters midway through the fourth quarter, grabbing rest for the potential closeout in Dallas. Doncic scorched the Clips for 14 points in the third quarter, stretching Dallas’ lead to 23 points during a 17-2 run. Los Angeles missed nine consecutive shots and committed four turnovers during the 6:23 between their first and second baskets of the second half.
