After losing G4 away and returning to the same running line 2-2, the Lone Rangers returned home to compete with the Jazz for the first round of the series.
In terms of the Lone Rangers, Doncic is in a hot state, and whether the Lone Rangers can defend the home team to win the G5 has undoubtedly become a major attraction of this game.
On the other hand, on the side of the Jazz, this service car is rushing to the away, based on the unstable Jazz, whether the away game can withstand the pressure, it is obvious that it will also fall into a bitter battle!
However, after four quarters of play, with a wave of 17-4 scoring climax, the Lone Rangers, who played at home, easily suppressed the Jazz in the first half and achieved a huge advantage of 16 points.
Coupled with the return of the second half, Doncic felt hot in the third quarter, and the Lone Rangers took advantage of the chase to expand the point difference to 26 points in one fell swoop, which also made the suspense of the final quarter lose early.
In the end, the lone rangers also won the Jazz 102-77 at home, winning the G5 strongly, and also won the match point 3-2 in the series!
Playing at home in this game, the Lone Rangers swept away the downturn of the G4 loss, and the whole team blossomed at many points, comprehensively crushing the Jazz at both ends of the attack and defense, and won a 25-point victory.
In the case of finney Smith + Powell + Bullock and other main forces, each performing their duties, the play of the two core Doncic + Brunson is particularly critical!
Doncic was well-defended in this game, scoring three three-pointers on 11-of-22 shooting in the 33 minutes of the opening game, and blasted down a game-high 33 points, plus an all-around performance of 13 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 block.
Among them, in the third quarter, his heroic performance of scoring 19 points in a single quarter not only helped the Lone Rangers quickly open up the point difference, but also almost single-handedly defeated the Jazz's defense line!
Of course, the Lone Rangers were able to beat the Jazz in this game, winning the series point 3-2, and the performance of the team's core guard Brunson was also indispensable.
Although Brunson did not feel good in 7 of 7 three-pointers from the outside, he dared to fight and contributed 24 points, 5 rebounds , 4 assists and 1 steal.
Rationally speaking, in the face of the double backcourt combination of Mitchell + Conley, the Brunson G5 game can be described as a complete victory over the Jazz's double backcourt in terms of personal data and team performance!
More importantly, after winning the G5 strongly and winning the match point 3-2 in the series, considering the fiery state of Doncic + Brunson, I have to say that this lone ranger team does have a great chance to advance to the second round after eliminating the Jazz in G6!
On the other hand, on the Jazz side, the team was comprehensively crushed at both ends of the attack and defense in this game, and finally swallowed a 25-point rout, and the big score of 2-3 faced the performance of the game that was about to be out, which obviously needed to be examined.
After all, under the excellent performance of Gobert + Clarkson, scoring and double-doubles, the sluggish performance of Mitchell + Bojan + Conley's three core cores of only 5 of 30 shots in this campaign is indeed out of standard!
Rationally speaking, in the case of Mitchell + Conley + Bojan's three cores being locked, in the face of Doncic + Brunson, the Jazz team, which has completely collapsed at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, seems to have no choice but to accept the reality of the fiasco.
More critically, the team's core defender Mitchell was also plagued by hamstring injuries in the G5 game, and this is undoubtedly a big blow to the team's next G6 backwater battle!
As for the G6 key game that returns to home in the next game, whether this Jazz team, which has no way to retreat, can seize the opportunity to drag the series into the seventh, we seem to have to wait and see!
