This is probably the biggest group of clashes in the divisional semifinals. Although the Suns only won 7 points against their opponents in the end, the situation of the whole game was not exaggerated by crushing strength, beating tyranny, and playing in place.
Doncic is strong, he can blast down the super stats of 45 points, 12 boards and 8 assists, but the Lone Ranger simply can't struggle to redeem from the brink of life and death. The overall crushing of the Suns' overall lineup made the game situation appear five-on-one embarrassing. The process is extremely cruel, Ayton and McGee turned the river and the sea on the inside, it was simply cruel.
The Suns maintained a double-digit lead in the second half, and extended the lead to 21 points in the early part of the final quarter. But instead of dragging the game into garbage time, the sun transformed into a playful cat and teased the opponent again and again.
The Suns' defensive intensity suddenly slipped, giving the Lone Ranger a 13-3 offensive climax. But even so, the Lone Ranger's offensive stability was still insufficient, and it took 5 minutes to approach. In the time of 5 minutes, the Suns only scored a three-point shot outside paul and achieved nothing. From a strong championship contend, a sudden power outage to an offensively blocked fish belly, the rapid change of the sun, people are surprised.
At the critical moment, Paul occasionally took a few points to stabilize the situation. Brunson, Dinwiddie and Doncic scored a variety of offenses, and the Lone Ranger forced the point difference to single digits in the final minute, giving hope of a reversal. But in fact, the situation is far from being as close as the score. When the sun is a little more serious, the lone ranger can't chase the points.
Interestingly, though, in the last minute of the game, the Lone Ranger was still struggling. So Booker and Bridges took turns standing on the free throw line, and the Lone Ranger side seemed to be chasing after it, but it was actually doing a senseless struggle. Doncic scored 10 points in the final 4 minutes, but it had no significant impact on the outcome of the game. The victory or defeat of this game has been tightly held in the hands of the Suns.
In the last minute, the two teams combined to score 17 points. In the last 2 minutes and 40 seconds, the two teams combined to score 26 points. In the end, the Suns beat their opponents 121-114. The struggle in the process became a kind of teasing. And the whole series, I'm afraid that the lone ranger will hardly have the strength to fight back.
