At noon on May 8, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs continued. The Thunder defeated the Mavericks 117-95 to take a 1-0 lead in the Western Conference semifinals. The Thunder's main win in this game was the excellent play of the bench lineup, with Wiggins, Joe, Wallace and other players having excellent hands outside the three-point line. At the same time, the main players such as Alexander of the Thunder have also played well. In short, this game belongs to the Thunder. The Thunder are also known as the team with the lowest average age to win in the history of the second round of the NBA playoffs. After the game, the home fans chanted "sweep the opponent" to express their inner joy.

The Thunder have taken a violent storm of youth this season and have become one of the league's favorites to win the championship. The Thunder are a well-balanced team with a strong roster, and if they have to pick a bone in the egg, their biggest problem is that they lack enough playoff experience.

The Thunder's face against the Mavericks is undoubtedly a good test of their hard power, after all, the Mavericks have superstars like Doncic and Irving. In the face of such a challenge, the Thunder handed in a satisfactory answer. On the one hand, the Thunder did a good job of limiting opponents, including Doncic and Irving, with a suffocating defense, making them collectively dumb. On the other hand, the Thunder's bench lineup played a bigger role and became a key factor in the team's victory.

According to statistics, the Thunder bench scored 42 points on 15-of-26 shooting, and the Mavericks scored only 23 points on 8-of-27 shooting. Thunder bench players Wiggins, Wallace and other players frequently fired from outside the three-point line, and they felt quite good. Wiggins, who scored 16 points, said after the game: "For me, I'm just going to be ready and try to find a comfortable way to play on the court, try to play with confidence, and then find a comfortable position in the system so that I can find a good shot very quickly." ”

Alexander, the main player, also said: "We've always been a team with a lot of depth in the squad, we've played like that all season, and each player has a role. At the start of the season, we worked really hard to control what we could control, to work hard in our respective roles and to play with energy. Focusing on playing your part is a big part of our team. ”
