In the end, the Mavericks managed to hang on for a narrow 103-101 victory, but the Clippers' late run served as a warning shot. These two teams are evenly matched, and every game is likely to be a nail-biter.
Game 2 of the series will tip off on Wednesday at 3:30 pm EST. The Clippers will look to even the series, while the Mavericks will aim to extend their lead and take a commanding 2-0 advantage.
