On April 24, Beijing time, the Mavericks and the Clippers played very intensely in this game, and no one could open up the difference. However, in the final moments of the final quarter, the Mavericks had a better hard solution, which also allowed them to maintain the score advantage after a wave of play, winning 96-93 and tying the score by a big score.
Doncic and Irving are absolute powerhouses this time. The two of them really won't be soft in a tough game, especially Doncic, who basically doesn't have much of a chance to rest. After playing 45 minutes in the whole game and cutting down the data of 32+6+9, he has completely become an iron man. There is no way, he needs to complete the playmaking and hit the three-pointer that locks the advantage in the critical moment. Owen is also a key player, full of defensive vitality, attacking all kinds of difficult goals, and the offense and defense are full marks. 8 out of 18 cut the data of 23+6+3, which is also worthy of recognition.
Washington also became a surprise player. Three consecutive sections wasted opportunities, but the last quarter can be regarded as redeeming himself. Because his overall defensive intensity on the defensive end is very large, and he can maintain a good shooting percentage on the offensive end. 5 out of 10 got 18+6 data, and the offense and defense are maintaining enough advantages.
And Jones is still maintaining a good shooting rate, scoring 10+7 on 4-of-6 shooting, and his offensive and defensive play is very consistent. Even Lively and Kleber on the bench are maintaining their consistency. Lively, in particular, was able to grab rebounds like crazy against Zubac, and with the defensive limit of Plumlee, he maintained the advantage on the inside. When Kleber gets an open spot at a crucial moment, he can also score first. With a 2-of-3 three-pointer and a 6+6, including a key rebound, the performance of most of the Mavericks' role players is indeed worthy of recognition.
However, Gafford's situation collapsed this time. His main problem is still his lack of experience, and then the offensive means on the offensive end are too simple. In the end, he failed to finish on the court, there was no rebound, and the defense was directly blown out by Zubac. 0 in 3 games, plus or minus -8, which is the worst value on the team.
