The Thunder lost 138-141 away to the Hawks and ended a five-game winning streak, and the invincible Thunder finally paid the price for their pride. The Thunder is on the cutting edge, successively eliminating the Timberwolves, which are ranked first in the West, ending the Knicks' winning streak, defeating the defending champion Nuggets, defeating the Nets, which are not as strong as themselves, and killing the Celtics, who are ranked first in the East. Now he is capsized in the gutter and loses to the eagles who are not as strong as themselves, as the saying goes, the arrogant soldiers will be defeated, and the current thunder has been fulfilled.
In the first quarter of the game, the Thunder were almost still silent in the victory of the previous game, and they didn't take the Hawks seriously at all, and their offense was sluggish and their defense was leaky. Alexander scored six points on 1-of-6 shooting, 4-of-4 from the free-throw line, and Holmgren missed out on 0-of-2 shooting. On the other hand, the Hawks' offense played in an orderly manner, Trae Young scored 9 points, Murray 4 points, Capela 4 points, the first quarter ended the game with the Thunder 25-39 Hawks, and the Thunder trailed the Hawks by 14 points in the first quarter.
In the second quarter, Alexander still didn't have a touch and scored 2 points on 1-of-3 shooting, Holmgren got back to form and scored 8 points on 3-of-3 shooting, but substitute Aaron Wiggins burst out and scored 11 points on 5-of-5 shooting, and the Odds broke out to save the Thunder. Trae Young scored seven points in the quarter and Jalen Johnson had 12. Alexander scored eight points in the half, Dort had five and Williams had three points, and the Thunder started into a scoring drought. At halftime, the Thunder 59-76 Hawks, with the Thunder trailing the Hawks by 17 points.
In the third quarter, the Thunder fought hard to chase after Alexander, scoring 14 points in the first quarter, Giddey scoring eight points and Williams scoring six points. The Hawks' Trae Young scored seven points and Murray scored 11 points in the quarter. At the end of the third quarter, the Thunder continued to trail the Hawks by 13 points.
In the fourth quarter of the game, Alexander once again showed his superstar nature and scored 10 points on 4-of-6 shooting, Williams scored 12 points on 5-of-5 shooting, and the Thunder blossomed more in the hope of making up for their previous mistakes. A last-ditch shot could send the game to overtime. In the end, Isaiah Joe's three-pointer bounced out of the frame, and the Thunder lost the game with hatred.
I also wondered how the head coach arranged the last shot, Alexander, who was hot, did not shoot, and Williams, who was in excellent condition, did not shoot, but a player on the bench chose to shoot a three-point shot, and the consequences can be imagined that the Thunder lost the game. If Alexander had made the last throw, the game might have been a different outcome, but of course that's just my guess.
In this game, Dort had 14 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, a team-high plus/minus of +11, Alexander 36 points, 13 rebounds and 8 assists, Williams 21 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 steals, Jalen Johnson 28 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 steals, and Trae Young 24 points, 4 rebounds and 11 assists.
In terms of statistics, Alexander defeated Trae Young, and the Thunder lost the game and missed the opportunity to reach the top of the West, which is very regrettable. #Article Launch Challenge#
