'Proves he should start': Aussie explodes with career-high to lead Luka, Kyrie-less Mavs - NBA Wrap.

But Paul George’s 29 points and Kawhi Leonard’s 24 (with three rebounds and six assists) did enough to hand the Clippers victory. Then the Clippers hit back with a seven-point run of their own. What we did on the floor, it’s not right. Things went down to the wire as the lead changed hands twice more. It’s not right!” It’s not easy being a Houston fan right now. The Rockets have the second-youngest roster in the league, and could be active in the trade market, with veteran Eric Gordon regularly discussed in trade whispers. That’s not right. Nevertheless, Thomas’ dominance in the Nets’ two games without Irving has been a remarkable boon – especially compared to his average of 8.5 points per game in his short career. Green led the team with a career-best 29 points in 37 minutes, going 10 of 17 from the field with six rebounds and a team-high +39 plus-minus. The Clippers were up 99-93 with ten minutes to play in the fourth, before the Nets scored 14-straight points to lead by eight. Without the injured Kevin Durant and Ben Simmons, Thomas shot 15 of 29 from the floor including 7-11 from deep, and added four rebounds and three assists in a career-best night.

"He understands how to play and he's not afraid of the moment." For the Warriors, Klay Thompson scored 42 points with a season-high 12 3-pointers, Jordan Poole added 21 points and 12 assists starting in injured Stephen Curry's place. Australia's Ben Simmons remained unavailable for the Nets for a fifth straight game due to knee soreness but could play Tuesday against Phoenix on the second night of a back-to-back. Before Monday's game, Dallas coach Jason Kidd said the Mavericks plan to have Irving and Morris join them on their current five-game road trip in time for their Wednesday game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Meanwhile, the Nets, without injured superstar Kevin Durant for a 13th straight game, were unable to match the Mavericks trade deal day heroics as they slipped to a 124-116 home loss to the Los Angeles Clippers. Irving and traded Nets teammate Markieff Morris arrived in Dallas on Monday to undergo physicals and were not available for the game.

But they started running at every opportunity and went on a 23-6 run bridging the second and third quarters to take a 75-66 lead. “We just did not have the necessary focus and attention to the little things. The Jazz struggle when their threes aren’t falling and they often fail to get back on defence. “He understands how to play and he’s not afraid of the moment.” The Jazz beat the Mavs 108-100 on January 28, when the Slovenian star was out with a sprained ankle. The physicality for us tonight was high, no matter how small we were out there,” Kidd said. “We believed we could win this from before the game even started,” Hardy said. This time the Mavericks bested the Jazz in nearly every hustle category, including a 49-37 advantage on the boards. They came out late before the game to warm up, all nonchalant.” “They played better than us. They played harder than us.
