DALLAS — On Friday night, the Dallas Mavericks will have a chance to clinch their playoffs series. This comes after a thrilling Game 5 win to go up 3-2.
Luka Doncic scored 42 points, Tim Hardaway Jr. hit two free throws with eight seconds left, and the Dallas Mavericks edged the Los Angeles Clippers 105-100.
Nick Angstadt and Isaac Harris are pumped up and break it all down on this episode of Locked On Mavericks Podcast.
If you didn't watch the game or look at social media, let us tell you now; Luka was a one-man wrecking crew.
Headed into their win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday, the Dallas Mavericks made a number of adjustments, but one especially stood out.
The Mavs had their tallest lineup in almost two decades. Head coach Rick Carlisle replaced Maxi Kleber in the game with the 7-foot-4 Boban Marjanovic.
That meant the height of their starting five was:
- Boban Marjanovic, 7'4"
- Kristaps Porzingis, 7'3"
- Luka Doncic, 6'7"
- Tim Hardaway, Jr., 6'5"
- Dorian Finney-Smith, 6'7"
As a result, it was the Mavs' tallest starting lineup since 2003.
The lineup used that year:
- Shawn Bradley, 7'6"
- Raef LaFrentz, 6'11"
- Dirk Nowitzki, 7'0"
- Michael Finley, 6'7"
- Steve Nash, 6'3"
The Mavs can close out their first series victory since winning the 2011 NBA championships with a win in Game 6 on Friday.
