Mavs mysteriously lost another game Leonard didn’t play

The Dallas Mavericks are bemoaning the idea that they’ve been unable to take advantage of the fact that the Los Angeles Clippers

have been winning games in this best-of-seven first-round playoff series without having the services of All-Star forward Kawhi Leonard.

It’s a dilemma that has become very mysterious to the Mavs.

Leonard is clearly the Clippers’ best player, and he missed Games 1 and 4 while dealing with inflammation in his right knee. However, not having Leonard has been a perfect recipe for the Clippers, because they won both games that he didn’t play in, and ultimately lost Games 2 and 3 when they had his services.
