Clippers and Mavericks Set for Game 4 Battle
The Los Angeles Clippers take on the Dallas Mavericks at American Airlines Arena on Sunday afternoon in Game 4 of their Western Conference quarterfinal-round series. The Mavericks lead the series, 2-1.

The Clippers (1-2) came into Friday's Game 3 battle looking to avenge a loss on their home floor in Game 2, but they struggled offensively on the way to a 101-90 defeat. James Harden and Norman Powell co-led the Clippers with 21 points while recording five assists and six rebounds, respectively. Harden added two assists, two steals and one block. Ivica Zubac furnished 19 points, eight rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block. Kawhi Leonard logged 25 minutes and provided nine points, nine rebounds and two assists.

The Clippers will list Leonard (knee) as questionable for Sunday's game.

The Mavericks (2-1) have now cobbled together consecutive wins in the series, and their superstar backcourt has unsurprisingly been a pivotal reason. In Game 3, Luka Doncic paced the Mavericks with 22 points, complementing them with 10 rebounds, nine assists and two steals. Kyrie Irving delivered 21 points, six assists, four rebounds and two steals. Dereck Lively totaled 13 points, two rebounds and two blocks. Derrick Jones registered 11 points, three boards and one block. P.J. Washington managed 10 points, five rebounds, one assist, three steals and one block.

The Mavericks will list Doncic (knee) as questionable for Sunday's contest. Tim Hardaway (ankle) will be listed as doubtful.

Sunday's game marks the seventh meeting between the teams since the start of the season. The Clippers and Mavericks have won three games apiece.
