On January 29, Beijing time, the Pistons played at home against the Thunder, and the Pistons successfully defeated the Thunder 120-104 at the end of the game. The Pistons' performance this season is terrible, although they already have a lot of young players in the team, but unfortunately until now the Pistons have not seen signs of recovery, so this season's Pistons are still struggling, and now the Pistons are ranked fifteenth in the East, the Thunder has performed well this season, and they have successfully come to the first place in the West, but the Timberwolves behind are eyeing each other, so every game is very important for the Thunder, and now against a team like the Pistons, the Thunder cannot afford to lose.
After the start of the game, the Thunder took the lead in playing a 15-5 start, but in the next game, the Pistons found the offensive state to chase the score, and in the second quarter of the game, the Pistons recovered to find the offensive state, in this case, the Pistons completed the overtake, and the Pistons led the Thunder by 9 points at the end of the half. In the second half of the game, the Pistons continued to expand their lead and once led to 14 points, but soon the Thunder responded to chase the score, and in the game the Thunder once chased only 3 points, but in the later game, the Pistons opened the score again with a wave of offensive climax, and the Pistons led by 14 points at the end of the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, the Pistons firmly took the lead, and finally the Thunder chased the points and lost to the Pistons.
In addition to Ivey's good performance in this game, Duren is a big blow in this game, and Duren is also raging on the Thunder inside line in the game, his play on the court makes the Thunder quite uncomfortable, it can be said that the Thunder is very good so far, but the current Thunder's flaws in the interior have been exposed, so Duren's play in this game is quite important. At the end of the game, Duren had 22 points, 21 rebounds and 6 assists on 9-of-13 shooting, according to statistics, this is the second player for the Pistons to score 20+20+5 after Drummond in 2020. Among the other Pistons players, Ivey had 19 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, Bojan had 17 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists, and Stewart had 11 points and 1 rebound.
Alexander performed well in this game, at the end of the game, Alexander got 31 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists in 13 of 20, but the puzzling thing is that I don't know why, Alexander did not play in the fourth quarter, you must know that the Thunder did not have a chance to reverse in the fourth quarter, but Alexander did not play in the fourth quarter, and Alexander did not seem to have any injuries here, so I don't know why this situation occurred, the Thunder did not give an explanation for the time being, and finally the Thunder, the first in the West, also lost the game and collapsed。
Holmgren has a good performance this season, so Holmgren is also considered to be the best rookie, but Holmgren's performance has not been too good recently, and Holmgren is even more crotched in this game, and at the end of the game, Holmgren got 9 points, 12 rebounds and 1 assist in 4 of 11. After this game, although the Thunder is still ranked first in the West, there is no win difference between the Thunder and the Timberwolves, so if the Timberwolves can continue to win in the next game, then the Thunder's first position in the West will not be guaranteed, and it can be said that the Thunder is quite uncomfortable losing such a game.
