The Dallas Mavericks blew out the Los Angeles Clippers 123-93 in a pivotal Game 5 to take a 3-2 series lead.
Luka Doncic led the way for the Mavs with 35 points, seven rebounds, and ten assists, while James Harden had his worst game of the series with seven points.
Here’s how NBA Twitter reacted to the Mavs’ 30-point win.
Luka looks down at his defenders with such disdain. He trash talks the Clippers bench after scoring. He nods his head repeatedly after scoring, as if to say, “You know who I am.” Luka Doncic is one bad …

Y’all can get fooled by that Luka is sick and not feeling well BS. That man about to try and go at the Clippers neck tonight

I can’t believe I’m typing that Luka and the Dallas Mavericks played suffocating defense tonight at the Clippers.

Somehow, the Clippers lost a game by 30 points when Luka/Kyrie/PJ shot a combined 3/19 from three. Nothing really makes sense in this series.

Just a vintage Clippers playoff performance here.

Clippers fans upset Dallas celebrating a win with no Kawhi as if they weren’t popping champagne over beating a 13 year old Luka Doncic with Tim Hardaway and Trey Burke as his 2nd and 3rd options

Why is Luka Doncic in a 30 point game with 5 minutes left if he’s both hurt and sick?

Doncic is running hot and I’m not talking about his upper-respiratory illness.
