After winning a five-game winning streak and ending the road trip, the sharp and energetic Lone Rangers returned home to usher in the first place in the East, while the Bulls challenged during the nine-game winning streak.
In terms of the Lone Rangers, Bo Shen hung up the exemption card, and whether the Lone Rangers can defend the home field, Doncic + Brunson, the two main players, obviously need to come forward.
On the Bulls side, DeRozan + Ravin + Vucevic + Ronzo Ball are gradually getting better, and the Bulls are also ready to do a big job on the road, with 10 consecutive wins!
However, after four quarters of competition, with the excellent performance of DeRozan + Lavin, the Bulls, who were mainly guests, although in the first half, once overpowered the Lone Ranger and achieved a slight score advantage.
But after returning from the second half, Doncic + Brunson felt hot in the third quarter, led the Lone Rangers to launch a counterattack, and successfully reversed the score and turned the situation on the field.
Coupled with the final finale moment, the Lone Ranger team took advantage of the victory to pursue, and the multi-point blossom blasted out a wave of 19-9 scoring climax, completely locking in the victory.
In the end, the lone rangers also won 113-99 at home to win 6 consecutive games, and also gave the rival Bulls a 14-point defeat!
In this game at home, although the Lone Rangers once fell behind by 11 points, fortunately, the team did not mess up, but played a team performance of 6 people scoring in double figures.
In the case of Brunson + Finney Smith + Kléber + Powell and other main players, each performing their duties, the team's ace Doncic, and the play of the miracle player Josh Green on the bench are particularly critical!
Doncic was in hot form, starting 33 minutes and shooting 2 three-pointers on 8-of-23 shooting, scoring a game-high 22 points, plus a triple-double with 14 rebounds and 14 assists.
Among them, his brave performance of taking 10 points in the third quarter not only helped the Lone Rangers to successfully open the score gap, but also shot inside and out, once becoming an invincible existence for the Bulls!
Of course, the Lone Rangers were able to win this game, overturning the Bulls, the number one in the East, and the performance of Josh Green on the bench was also indispensable.
Josh Green was appointed to play 21 minutes off the bench, shooting 8 of 10 from the field, and contributing 18 points, 6 rebounds and 1 assist.
The sudden appearance of Josh Green's surprise soldiers in this battle not only provided the Lone Rangers with strong firepower and vitality, but also completely disrupted the offensive and defensive rhythm of the Bulls, and made a great contribution to the Lone Rangers to win the game!
On the other hand, the Bulls, the team failed to withstand the pressure in the second half of this game, and finally was reversed, and the performance of the game that swallowed a 14-point defeat obviously needs to be further investigated.
After all, in the case of the two cores of DeRozan + Vucevic, continuing to perform steadily, the play of the team's star LaVine is indeed somewhat unsatisfactory.
In this game, LaVine was slightly sluggish, starting 34 minutes, shooting less than 40% of the 7-of-21 shots, and losing the crosshairs on only 2 of 7 three-pointers from the outside.
Although with the impact of daring to fight, LaVine still handed over a personal performance of 20 points + 2 rebounds + 2 assists + 2 steals, but rationally speaking, he made as many as 4 mistakes in the whole game, or let the Bulls lose a lot of great opportunities to chase points!
In the face of Doncic, who cut down three doubles, and the multi-point blossoming lone ranger team, the Bulls generals who could not open the situation at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends of this battle seemed to have no choice but to drink and hate.
As for the Bulls, who are temporarily ranked first in the East after the end of their 9-game winning streak, whether they can withstand the pressure and find their form in time in the next schedule will obviously face no small challenge and test!
