3rd Quarter Report

The Clippers and the Mavericks have shown up to the matchup, but their offenses sure haven’t. Sitting on a score of 66-65, the Clippers have looked like the better team, but there’s still one more quarter to play.

If the Clippers keep playing like this, they’ll bump their record up to 2-0 in no time. On the other hand, the Mavericks will have to make due with an 0-2 record unless they turn things around (and fast).

What to Know

On Tuesday, the Dallas Mavericks will fight it out against the Los Angeles Clippers in a Western Conference playoff contest at 10:00 p.m. ET at Crypto.com Arena. Despite being away, the Mavericks are looking at a two-point advantage in the spread.

The Mavericks are headed into this one after the oddsmakers set last week’s over/under low at 221.5, but even that wound up being too high. They fell 109-97 to the Clippers on Sunday. Dallas didn’t live up to their potential and found themselves falling short of the advantage oddsmakers thought they had coming into the game.

The Mavericks’ loss shouldn’t obscure the performances of Kyrie Irving, who scored 31 points along with seven rebounds and two steals, and Luka Doncic, who dropped a double-double on 33 points and 13 rebounds. Doncic’s afternoon made it 11 games in a row in which he has scored at least 30 points.

The Mavericks have some ground to make up, as the Clippers currently lead the series 1-0. Check back here after the game to see if the Mavericks can even up the series or if the Clippers can really take the lead.

ATLANTA – New security rules at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport have moved past the grace period into enforcement. The new policy, implemented on Monday, places a 24-7 restriction on those who can be on the property. 

The airport, which continues to hold its title as the world’s busiest airport, wants it to also be the world’s safest airport. Officials are hoping the around-the-clock monitoring of who can and cannot be in the terminal will help ensure the airport’s safety. 

“This is a culmination response to a broad swath of issues,” said Atlanta City Council member Michael Bond. 

Since January 2022, Atlanta police say officers have been called to investigate more than 900 cases of larceny, burglary, assault, robbery, and shoplifting at the airport. 

“There’ve been incidents where we’ve had some attacks by persons who came into the terminal and atrium areas, we’ve had repeated amounts of shoplifting and other small and petty crimes,” Bond said. 

Bond says issues prompted city leaders to act earlier this year. They formed a task force that recommended limiting around-the-clock access at the airport to passengers, workers and other people conducting official business. 

“The airport was already restricted during some nighttime hours…if you were coming into the facility you had to show a reason why you were there…those hours basically have been extended 24 hours a day,” Bond said. 

After a 60-day grace period, the change went into effect on Monday. 

“Atlanta police can question you if they believe you’re doing something suspicious or engaged in some activity that is not related to what would be considered a justified reason for being on the property,” Bond said. 

While most passengers support the measures, some are concerned it could be used to profile people. 

The domestic and international terminals, the SkyTrain, rental car center, and parking decks are all included in this new policy.
