At the door of the Clippers, this battle is not cold, and it is really not hot, anyway, it is a melee with hot and cold! Speaking of which, you have to know, last night's game was really a thrill! I once thought that the Clippers could pack the game away, but what turned out? Hey, it's still the same, and the last three points were lost, which made everyone smack.
First of all, let's talk about our Harden, who simply blew up his stats in this game, surpassing Michael Jordan on the all-time list and becoming the 12th all-time big man in assists. How did Harden perform? 22 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists, doesn't it sound quite explosive? But to be honest, he only made 2 of 10 three-point shots, which is a shooting percentage, hey, it's really distressing!
Let's take a look at our Eastern European brother Doncic, he's different, this guy really got hung up today, and he scored an amazing 55 points in the whole game. You heard it right, it's 55 points! This is undoubtedly an eye-catching existence in today's game, and the three-point shot at the critical moment is as accurate as launching a missile, which is not an exaggeration at all.
The process of the game was even more ups and downs. In the first quarter, both teams were wallowing in a quagmire, and both offensive and defensive ends were pretty bad. The Clippers broke the scoring drought slightly under the leadership of Coffey, but were still passive overall. After the second quarter, the situation was still stalemate, and the Mavericks' Doncic and Irving continued to put pressure on the Clippers, but Harden was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he continued to score from mid-range.
In the second half, the battle became more intense. Harden's three-point shot finally found its crosshairs, but just as the Clippers fought back, the Mavericks' counterattack was even more violent, especially the duo of Doncic and Irving, whose three-pointers were almost destined to score in a row. Although George and Harden tried to stabilize the situation on the Clippers' side, at the last moment, the Mavericks' continued firepower made it impossible for the Clippers to turn the tables.
When it comes to the controversial moment at the end of the game, it really has to be mentioned. Some of the referee's decisions are really confusing, especially Leonard's obvious 2+1 opportunity to be challenged successfully, coupled with Irving's obvious foul being ignored, which directly affected the direction of the game. As a fan, seeing such a scene, I have mixed feelings in my heart, I really love and hate.
In the end, the Clippers lost 93-96, a game that not only shocked fans, but also brought the Clippers' series record to a 1-1 draw. Such a result is both a surprise and a pity, after all, at home, every win counts. As you can see from this game, the Clippers
