“PG and Harden folded like Futons!” – NBA fans BLAST Clippers for embarrassing exit from first round against Mavericks

Luka Doncic and the Mavericks embarrassed the Clippers

The dynamic duo of the Dallas Mavericks have shut down the season of the star-studded Los Angeles Clippers. Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving‘s sheer dominance in game 6 tore down the Clippers’ hopes for the next round. Like last year, they faced another first-round exit.

The veteran squad of the Los Angeles Clippers, featuring James Harden and Paul George, just could not get things right to tie the series on the road. Despite playing a decent second quarter, the Clippers could not sustain in the game. The pair were only combined for 34 points with below-par shooting in the critical game in the absence of Kawhi Leonard.

On the other hand, the Dallas Mavericks duo had no issues in claiming the series as the MVP finalist Luka Doncic scored another double-double while Kyrie Irving stunned the viewers with his classic 30-point outing. The Mavericks won with a double-digit lead like the last game while holding the Clippers down to as many as 20 points in the fourth quarter.

Despite putting together a super team with a total of four superstars, the Clippers could not change their franchise’s history of zero finals appearances. However, the Mavs duo that nobody believed in last year have proved the critics completely wrong and is now considered one of the best backcourts in the league.
