So far, for the Dallas Mavericks and Los Angeles Clippers there has been no such thing as a home team advantage and the trend continued Wednesday night for the Mavs.

Luka Doncic scored 42 points, Tim Hardaway Jr. hit two free throws with eight seconds left, and Dallas won 105-100 at Staples Center to take a 3-2 lead in the first-round playoff series.

It’s the third playoff series in NBA history — and first since 1995 — in which the road team won the first five games, according to Elias Sports Bureau.
