The NBA playoffs are hot, the Lone Ranger and the Jazz usher in the G2 competition, Doncic's calf injury continues to be absent, Mitchell's monopoly has laid the groundwork for this series, will Kidd seize the opportunity to rewrite the score?
At the beginning of the first quarter, Brunson's full firepower scored 15 points, Mitchell led the team to respond in time, and the two sides were inseparable from each other, and the battle was 24 draws. In the second quarter, the two teams played each other outside, Clarkson teamed up with Mitchell to reverse the score, and the Jazz played a 7-0 small climax to gain a seven-point advantage at halftime.
After the easy side re-battle, Brunson and Dinweed responded with an 8-0 small climax, Kleber three-point combo, Mitchell and Bojan urgently stopped the bleeding, and the Jazz still led by four points in the third quarter. In the final quarter, the Lone Ranger blossomed inside and outside a wave of 10-0 rebound, Kleber felt hot and hit three points, and the Jazz chased the score unsuccessfully in the later section, and the Lone Ranger narrowly defeated the Jazz 110-104, rewriting the series score to 1-1.
The German tank reappeared in Dallas, and Kleber, who played 31 and a half points on the bench, took the lead, and his 11 shots were all three-point shots, 8 of 2 shots, 1 of 2 free throws, and 25 points, 6 boards and 3 assists. Eight three-pointers also set a league-history record for a playoff center hitting three-pointers.
In the second round, Brunson played a career night, playing 42 minutes, shooting 15-of-25 (6-of-10 from three-point range), 5-of-7 from the free throw line, blasting 41 points, 7 boards, 5 assists, 2 turnovers, 0 turnovers and 0 fouls, setting a career playoff single-game scoring record (previously 24 points). Brunson became the fifth player in Lone Rangers history to cut 40+ in a single playoff game.
There is no gun to stab the Jazz, the Lone Ranger is united, and Doncic can breathe a sigh of relief.
