After taking a 2-0 lead headed back home, all indications were that the Dallas Mavericks were going to win this series in dominating fashion.
But, with much credit to the Clippers, the L.A. squad won back-to-back games on the road, to tie the series at 2 games apiece.
According to Charles Barkley, who was clearly impressed with the Clippers’ performance, the Mavericks will not be winning another game in the series.

It’s rare for a team to go on to lose a series after taking a 2-0 lead coming back home. But for the Mavs, it seems they’re just playing against a better team with a huge chip on their shoulder.
The Clippers have been fighting for relevancy for the past two seasons now, as they have been the subject of endless memes and jokes since losing to the Nuggets in the Orlando bubble.
But now, with Paul George and Kawhi Leonard in full attack mode, it seems that they’re a really tough team to beat, and you can’t blame Chuck for picking them to win the next two games.
Regardless, it will be interesting to see how the Mavs respond after suffering their second straight loss. This series is anyone’s to win.
