Both teams played back-to-back in this game, it is worth mentioning that although the Mavericks ended the suspense of the game in advance, but the Mavericks in this game are back-to-back for the away game, and the journey also needs to consume some physical energy and energy, although the Heat is back-to-back at home, but the Heat and the Hawks played two doubles to separate the winners, the consumption of the game is very large, in terms of physical strength, the two teams should be equal.
At present, both teams only have three games left, the Mavericks have locked up the top six rankings in the West, and the Heat are currently sitting in eighth place while also having a certain chance of rising.
The meeting of two teams with impaired physical abilities and diametrically opposed styles makes the game uncertain, and whoever can drag the game into their familiar rhythm will have more chances to win.
