The Los Angeles Clippers have been dead set on making Luka Doncic work on the defensive end this series, thinking they'd get the same results they had in Game 1. That wasn't the case in Game 2, as the Clippers shot just 2/17 from the floor on Tuesday night on shots where Doncic was the primary defender, according to ESPN Stats & Info.

Doncic’s 32 points in Game 2 against the Clippers were a big reason for the victory, sure, but so was his equally passionate, tone-setting defense.

Luka Doncic has been criticized in the past for his defense, so too has Kyrie Irving. Both players are amongst the most gifted offensive players the NBA has ever seen, but both have a tendency to be a liability on the other end of the floor.
