Klay Thompson finished 22 points as the Dallas Mavericks succumbed to the LA Clippers 118-95 at American Airlines Center in Dallas on Thursday.

The Mavericks had to rely heavily on the four-time NBA champion and five-time All-Star as Dallas played shorthanded without its other two superstars. Thompson responded to the challenge as the 35-year-old led the Mavs in scoring for the first time this season.

This is also the first game this season that Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, Dallas' top two scorers, have been both ruled out. The Mavericks missed a combined 52.8 points. With that, they suffered their most lopsided loss of the season and scored a season-low as a team.
