While being blown out by the LA Clippers tonight in a crucial game, the Mavericks caught another piece of bad luck with the exit of small forward Klay Thompson, who left the game with an apparent illness, and would not return.

The Dallas Mavericks (38-39) head into their final back-to-back of the regular season, closing out the game sets with a rare set of games in the same city against the same opponent, in this case the Los Angeles Clippers (44-32).
