Who won LA Clippers vs Dallas Mavericks?
LA Clippers beat Dallas Mavericks 133-127 at American Airlines Center on November 14, 2025.
In a thrilling encounter at the American Airlines Center, the LA Clippers narrowly defeated the Dallas Mavericks 133-127 in double overtime on November 15, 2025. This victory marked the Clippers' second win against the Mavericks this season, extending their lead in the series to 2-0. The game showcased a fierce competition, with both teams battling hard to secure a much-needed win amidst their struggles in the early season.
The Mavericks entered the game with a home record of 3-10 and had lost their last two games, including a recent defeat to the Phoenix Suns (114-123) just two days prior. Their scoring average at home was 109.4 points, while they allowed an average of 113.0 points. In contrast, the Clippers had a slightly better away record of 4-8 but were on a six-game losing streak, having last won against the New Orleans Pelicans (126-124) on November 1. The Clippers averaged 109.7 points scored and allowed 114.1 points during their away games.
In terms of recent form, the Mavericks had a record of 3-7 over their last ten games, while the Clippers matched that with a record of 3-7 as well. Both teams were struggling to find consistency, making this matchup crucial for their respective campaigns. The Mavericks had shown some promise with a win against the Washington Wizards (111-105) earlier in the month, but their overall performance had been disappointing. The Clippers, despite their struggles, had managed to secure wins against teams like the Portland Trail Blazers and the Phoenix Suns earlier in the season.
Historically, the Mavericks and Clippers have faced each other multiple times, with the Clippers leading the recent head-to-head record 3-1. The last encounter before this game saw the Mavericks lose to the Clippers 104-135 on April 6, 2025. The Mavericks did manage to win one of their previous meetings at home, triumphing 113-97 on December 22, 2024, but that victory seemed distant as they faced the Clippers again.
In terms of injuries, both teams were dealing with key player absences. The Mavericks had Santi Aldama, Kyrie Irving, and Dereck Lively II listed as day-to-day due to knee and foot issues. The Clippers were missing Jordan Miller, who was out with a shoulder injury, while Bradley Beal and Yanic Konan Niederhauser were also day-to-day with hip and foot injuries, respectively. These injuries undoubtedly impacted the rotations and strategies employed by both coaches.
The betting market reflected the competitive nature of this matchup, with odds provided by unnamed sources. The Clippers were favored, but the Mavericks were not far behind, indicating that the contest was expected to be closely contested. The conditions for the game were typical for an indoor basketball setting, with no significant weather factors affecting play.
Viewers were treated to a high-stakes game that kept fans on the edge of their seats. The match saw several lead changes and intense moments, particularly in the overtime periods. Key plays included James Harden's crucial free throws and driving layup in the second overtime, which helped the Clippers maintain their lead. Derrick Jones Jr. also contributed with important free throws that solidified the Clippers' advantage as the clock wound down.
Ultimately, the Clippers' ability to execute in critical moments and capitalize on free throw opportunities proved decisive in their victory. The Mavericks, despite their efforts, could not overcome the late-game execution of the Clippers, leaving them with a disappointing home loss. As both teams look ahead, the Clippers will aim to build on this win, while the Mavericks will seek to regroup and find their footing in the upcoming games.
