After witnessing an incredible back-and-forth heavyweight slugfest through six games in this first-round NBA playoff series, Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks are fittingly going to a winner-take-all Game 7 with Kawhi Leonard and the Los Angeles Clippers. It simply doesn't get much more exciting than this for basketball fans.

Kawhi Leonard delivered the latest blow by putting up a playoff career-tying 45 points to keep his team’s season alive. The final round now shifts back to Los Angeles, where Doncic has dazzled at Staples Center all series long. Can Doncic deliver the knockout punch?
