The main player is absent, the Lone Ranger and Thunder fight until overtime; the double giant Nets are overturned, and the Kings survive a losing streak; melon and thick eyebrows cut 54 points and killed the Blazers twice
The Thunder refused to sweep and Doncic scored 40 points
The Dallas Mavericks saw their last game of the season with the Oklahoma Thunder. In the first three meetings, the Lone Ranger won all of them, and this time, the Thunder's most important player, Alexander, was absent due to injury, and the probability of the Lone Ranger sweeping the Thunder was further improved.
From the very beginning of the game, the Thunder reached a very high level of form. Trey-Mann scored 10 points in just nine minutes in the first quarter, shooting 52 percent of the time and six three-pointers in the quarter, more than half of the season average.
The lone ranger, who took two days off, did not play enough defensive intensity at the beginning, which also gave the away team the opportunity to develop a sense of foot, and the score jumped up quickly. Doncic turned on all-unit offensive mode in the first quarter, scoring 24 points on 6-of-11 shooting in the first quarter. In the post-game interview of the 114-120 loss to the Thunder, Doncic also talked about the fact that the main reason he felt he didn't win this game was in himself, and he shouldn't have missed so many people.
Thunder's youngster, Josh Gidy, broke Doncic's record in his last game against the Lone Ranger, becoming the youngest player in history to have a triple-double. In this game, Gidy also performed very well, with 14 points and 10 assists on 7-of-13 shooting, shooting as high as 70% within the three-point line, that is, the error control was not done well, and a game sent a full 6 mistakes.
Harden and Irving combined to score 18 points, and the Nets were overturned by the Kings
In game 6 of the "Oden" combination, the Nets suffered their sixth straight loss. In the nine games that Du Xiaoshuai missed due to injury, the Nets had only a 22% win rate, and the team's ranking has fallen to 6th in the East, only 1.5 games away from the Hornets behind.
Back-to-back away runs may really be the reason the Nets were completed by the Kings with a 23-point comeback to welcome their sixth game in a straight game. James Harden was in poor shape and did not get any free throws, scoring four points on 2-of-11 shooting, the least scored of any game in his career that played more than 30 minutes. Head coach Nash specifically excused his disciples at the post-game press conference: "We have had too many recent games, and Harden is really tired. ”
However, even with such "irrefutable" reasons, we are still full of concerns about the Nets' performance. By the end of the game's first quarter, the Nets had established a nine-point lead. The whole "Ouden" combination felt very average, 48 minutes down, only 18 points were recorded. However, the Nets' inside edge was clear, with Clarkston calling the crowd under the basket in the first half and scoring 17 points with ease. James Johnson on the bench also played well against the Kings, scoring 18 points on 8-of-11 shooting, making him one of the few players on the Nets with positive plus-minus.
The Kings launched a counterattack almost in the second quarter, only to close the score near the end of the third quarter. They clearly had a stronger desire to get out of the game, with Harry Burton and Hield bearing the brunt of it, scoring 13 points in the final quarter to help the Kings set the record for a 112-101 victory and end a long seven-game losing streak.
A 5-point win, the Lakers ended a losing streak
Without Durant, the Nets have a winning percentage of just 2-7 this season. Without James, the Lakers have won just five of their 15 games this season. Their record in the West End has fallen to ninth in the West Side, 2.5 wins less than the los Angeles Clippers in eighth place.
"Melon" Anthony played one of his best single-game performances of the season against his old club, making a total of 12 shots, 24 points and 8 rebounds, and a plus-minus of +15. Anthony Davis has a very clear speed advantage against Nurkic, and with frequent moves, AD has his ninth personal 30+ of the season.
Since 1-26, Malik Munch's competitive form has suffered very large ups and downs. In the last game against the Hawks, the 23-year-old was able to score 33 points on 12-of-19 shooting, and this time Munch's shooting percentage dropped to 20% against the Blazers, who were also weak defensively weak. In the end, the Los Angeles Lakers won by 8 points in the final quarter and won 99-94 to end their three-game losing streak.
