“We came out with more energy in the first quarter,” Leonard said. “They won that game in the first quarter.”Doncic had a triple-double but also limped off the court after spraining his left ankle in the third quarter. And when Dallas cut it to eight midway through the fourth quarter, Leonard responded with a 3-pointer and left-handed dunk on consecutive Clippers possessions to restore a comfortable lead. Doncic was defending Leonard on a drive with about 4 minutes remaining in the third when his left ankle rolled and he fell to the court. Carlisle said the good news was the injury was to the left ankle, not the one that has troubled the second-year guard.
