The Los Angeles Clippers defeated the Dallas Mavericks 133–127 in overtime on November 14 at the American Airlines Center, with James Harden leading the way on 41 points and Ivica Zubac adding 27 points off the bench. The Clippers shot 47.4 percent from the field and made 13 three-pointers, while the Mavericks managed just 44.4 percent shooting and 10 threes despite N. Marshall and D. Russell each scoring 28 points. Los Angeles controlled the glass and playmaking with 22 assists and forced 16 steals, though Dallas chipped away with 11 steals of their own. The game extended to overtime after the Mavericks kept it tight through regulation—their fourth quarter saw them score 28 points—but the Clippers' superior offensive rating of 107.4 to Dallas's 100.2 proved decisive in the extra frame. Harden's scoring barrage and Zubac's interior presence proved too much for a Mavericks squad that committed 22 turnovers to the Clippers' 20. The victory positions Los Angeles as a serious contender in the Western Conference race.
