NBA Playoffs: Mavericks and Clippers Series Has Done Something No Other First-Round Series Has Done

The Los Angeles Clippers and Dallas Mavericks are the only two NBA playoffs teams yet to win a home game.

The series has been a unique one, to say the least, and if the Mavericks want to break the trend and win the series, they will need to beat the Clippers in Dallas on Friday night.

More information on the trend can be seen from ESPN below who cited EliasSports below.

The Mavericks lead the Clippers 3-2 and are back home for Game 6... but the road team has won all 5 games in this series.
