With the return of home star Doncic, the Dallas Mavericks have another six-game winning streak that further cements their fifth-place finish in the West. To be sure, their unexpected defeat over the Eastern Conference overlords, the Chicago Bulls, was a surprise in the previous game. However, before they could catch their breath, they dragged the team to New York to play the Newx away. Maybe in terms of the current stage of record, the Knicks will not be the opponent of the Lone Rangers at all, but we have to admit that the Knicks are also a very resilient team, and they still have a lot of quality players on the team.
Growing team leader Randall, as well as the slowly cashing in talent of the flower show Barrett, and Fournier and others, they are all fundamental to the Knicks' impressive results at the beginning of the season. In this game, Porzingis failed to return because of the trigger of the league's epidemic prevention agreement, which indirectly added some odds to the Knicks. So, what kind of situation will the two sides end in? At the beginning of the game, the Knicks, who played at home, maintained their high form, playing a small wave of 5-0 climax. Not only that, but they can also continue to exert their strength for the rest of the first quarter.
Randall, Barrett and Fournier Burks and others have successively made efforts to lead the team to a full-fledged state, achieving a 30-21 score in the single quarter and taking a 9-point lead. Entering the second quarter of the showdown, the Knicks can continue to maintain a high state, further expanding the point difference between the two teams. Doncic's 7 points and 3 rebounds in the second quarter didn't work, and the Knicks went on to deliver a 26-24 single-quarter lead to a 2-point lead. At the end of the first half, the Knicks have scored 56-45, leading the Lone Rangers by a crucial 11 points!
The point difference between the two teams has been widened one after another, and the status of the Knicks' players has also become higher and higher. So much so that in the third quarter of the competition, once again played a 28-21 score, to get a 7-point lead. With the difference between the two sides reaching 18 points, with the final quarter of the fourth regular quarter left, the Knicks were bound to win the game. In the regular time of the fourth quarter, the Knicks beat a 24-19 single-quarter score and won the game with a score of 108-85.
The Knicks are really remarkable, not only can achieve the crushing of the full score, complete a 23-point victory, and finally rejected the Lone Ranger's dream of 7 consecutive wins. Looking back at the data of the game, the overall state of the Knicks' starters is extremely hot, Randall sent a comprehensive data of 17 points, 12 rebounds and 8 assists just returned in the 37 minutes of the game, Barrett played the momentum of his probing show, fought for 41 minutes, got the highest score of 32 points in the game, and sent 7 rebounds and 2 assists, effectively helping the team to gain a lead in the score, and made an indelible contribution to rejecting the Lone Rangers' 7 consecutive wins.
And seeing the Lone Ranger side, the state of the star Doncic is not very good, with 23 shots in a single game, but only 21 points of scoring contribution, obviously still too chicken. Not only that, but the scoring situation of other players in the team is not optimistic. In addition to Brunson's 14 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, and Hardaway Jr.'s data contribution of 13 points and 3 assists, there are no players in the team who have scored to double digits. There is no harm without contrast, and the Lone Rangers have not lost unjustly.
