Eight facts that have to be admitted:
1. Irving played 44 minutes, 15 of 25 shots, 3 of 8 three-point shots, 48 points plus 7 rebounds, Irving is still one of the hottest stars in the NBA, the first assassin in the active service, Irving's game energy is not weaker than any star, and finally Irving is afraid of the opponent with the ball, and he really can't prevent it, completely shattering the stereotype that Irving is not good for Ramadan, and the hug at the last moment in Eastern Europe is moving, this is what basketball should look like.
2. Doncic dragged his injured leg to defend hard in the last quarter, and the key two passes killed the game. He shot 12-of-21 from the field, including 4-of-10 from three-point range, and finished with 37 points, 9 rebounds and 12 assists. Deadly three-pointers, a big hat against the sky, one offense and one defense to change the rhythm of the game, Doncic has really changed, less complaining, and more tenacity. Take good care of your injury, take a break in the next few games, and hopefully recover before the playoffs.
3, PJ Washington scored a double-double of 14 points and 13 rebounds, the team's No. 3 key Mr., the last two three-pointers of the whole game to save himself and the team, only scored key shots, the defense is still strong, such a high-quality 3D player is really a perfect match for the Eastern European combination, and the Mavericks' reinforcement is too fragrant.
4, Exum is really a big heart player, born for critical moments, a three-point shot to save the team, into overtime, scored 14 points and 9 rebounds in the game, plus or minus as high as +23, today is the hero of Dallas, a genius ruined by injuries, continue to work hard.
5, Kleber's performance is unfamiliar, played 30 minutes today, got 9 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, and the plus/minus value is as high as +29, today is really strong, without Lively, Gafford is in foul trouble, Kleber has been in the No. 5 position for so long, top defense, the frame is in place, Kleber's state in these games is okay, it is getting better and better, and the playoffs will continue to be maintained.
6. Jalen Green reappeared in the face of a strong team, scoring 21 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists on 6-of-15 shooting. Continue to precipitate, practice hard in the offseason, when Green needs to stand up and turn the tide at critical moments, he really can't score goals, a three-no-stick in overtime, a layup is a big hat, and there is still a long way to go in the future.
7. The Rockets suffered a five-game losing streak after losing this game and completely missed the play-offs this season. The Rockets, after a wave of 11 consecutive wins, have experienced a wave of five consecutive losses, which is really a big up-and-down, once a hope of hitting the play-offs, and now it has completely ruined hope. But this group of young people of the Rockets has begun to realize their talents, and the future of the Rockets is promising.
8. The Mavericks won three consecutive victories and ranked fifth in the West, with the Clippers narrowly beating the Cavaliers today, the Mavericks and the Clippers who are still behind the fourth place have 2 wins, 1.5 wins ahead of the sixth-place Suns, the Mavericks are likely to sit in the fifth place in the West and enter the playoffs, and their first-round opponent is the Clippers. The Eastern European duo have been solid and the team has never been more united, and they will have a good chance of knocking out the Clippers to reach the second round and even compete for a championship.
