After a crushing defeat to the Lakers at home, the thunder, which was greatly frustrated, revived this campaign and ushered in the dallas Mavericks challenge.
In terms of the Thunder, although the team has home advantage, whether the two cores of Alexander + Dort can play in this battle against the Lone Ranger will undoubtedly be the key to whether the team can defend the home field.
On the other hand, on the lone team side, the star Doncic is absent due to injury, and whether the team can withstand the pressure and take the victory on the road has also become a major attraction of this game!
Finally, after 4 quarters of competition, with the excellent performance of the three internal lines of Boshin + Kléber + Moses Brown, the anti-guest-oriented lone ranger team, in the first half, forced the Thunder to establish a 10-point lead.
Coupled with the return of the second half, Brunson ushered in the outbreak in the third quarter, and the inside and outside shots scored 10 points in a single quarter to help the Lone Rangers stabilize the situation of the game.
At the same time, at the moment of the final showdown, the Thunder team was fully muted, and finally the lone ranger team, who was more and more courageous, also won the Thunder 103-84 on the road, which was worth the trip at the same time, but also gave the opponent thunder 2 consecutive defeats!
This game rushed to the away, although the Lone Rangers lacked the core of Doncic, but the whole team blossomed more, playing a team performance of 4 people scoring in double figures.
In the case of bosses such as Boshin + Finney Smith + Hadaway Jr. + Klebel, each performing his duties, Brunson, who entered the starting lineup, and the play of the young man Moses Brown on the bench, are particularly critical!
Brunson lived up to expectations in this game, starting 28 minutes and scoring a team-high 18 points on 6-of-14 shooting, plus 9 rebounds and 3 assists.
Among them, his sudden outbreak in the third quarter not only helped the Lone Rangers withstand the thunder team's point-chasing pressure, but also became an overwhelming presence for the Thunder team!
In addition, the Lone Rangers were able to win this game, and the play of center Moses Brown on the bench was also great.
Facing the old owner, Moses Brown was not soft, appearing on the bench for 18 minutes, contributing 15 points+ 6 rebounds + 1 steal + 2 blocks on 5-of-6 shooting.
Not only does it provide a strong vitality for the Lone Ranger team, it guards the advantage of the inside line, but also completely disrupts the defensive rhythm and deployment of the Thunder Team, and plays a vital role in the Victory of the Lone Ranger Team!
More importantly, after the big victory over the Thunder in this game, the Lone Ranger's regular season record has also come to 13 wins and 13 losses, and is currently pressing the Nuggets, chasing the Lakers to temporarily rank 7th in the West.
In Doncic's absence, the Lone Ranger team can maintain the advantage of the top eight through excellent team cooperation and full attack, which is indeed commendable!
On the other hand, on the side of the Thunder team, the team's offensive and defensive ends of this game were comprehensively crushed, and finally swallowed the performance of the game of 19 points rout + 2 consecutive losses, which obviously needs to be examined.
And although the team's new king Alexander played well, with 18 points + 4 rebounds + 5 assists + 2 blocks in the whole game, but in the case of Dort's injury, Gidy lost the crosshair on 3 of 14 shots.
In the face of the huge gap in the strength and depth of the squad, Alexander, who has worked hard all the time, seems to be able to accept reality!
As for whether the Thunder can end the losing streak in the next schedule after swallowing 2 consecutive defeats and losing 2 consecutive defeats and losing Dmit, the young core led by Alexander will undoubtedly face more challenges and tests!
