The Dallas Mavericks faced a tough loss against the LA Clippers, with a final score of 110-96. New player Klay Thompson had a particularly rough night, going 0-for-9 from the field and missing all six three-point attempts. The team struggled overall, committing 29 turnovers.

Despite the poor shooting performance, Thompson did contribute with some good plays, including assists. However, he also had four turnovers and a negative plus-minus rating. The absence of stars Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving impacted the team's offensive flow. Coach Jason Kidd emphasized patience as the team adjusts to new dynamics.
