Second Quarter


As the second quarter unfolded, both teams matched each other's intensity. The Clippers maintained their momentum with another solid performance from Kawhi Leonard, who contributed significantly to their total of 28 points in this period. However, Dallas kept pace by adding another 24 points to their tally.


Third Quarter


The third quarter saw a shift in dynamics as Big D ramped up their offensive efforts. Despite Ivica Zubac's commendable defensive work for Lob City—grabbing rebounds and blocking shots—the Mavs outscored them with an impressive 34-point haul compared to LA's 27.


Fourth Quarter


In the final stretch of this intense matchup at Intuit Dome, Dallas continued to press forward aggressively. Although James Harden tried to rally his team with crucial assists and plays during this period where both teams scored equally (27 points), it was not enough to overturn Dallas' lead.


Ultimately, despite leading for over half an hour during various stages of play and having standout performances from players like Leonard and Zubac throughout all quarters combined; they couldn't prevent being edged out by four points when it mattered most: resulting in an overall scoreline favoring visitors - marking yet another loss on home turf while leaving fans eagerly anticipating future clashes between these two competitive sides!
