Defensively, they limited the Mavericks' scoring, making it impossible for opponents to find a consistent scoring rhythm.
In today's NBA playoffs match between the Thunder and the Mavericks, the Thunder's Shay Gilgeous-Alexander is undoubtedly the brightest star on the court. He played 36 minutes and showed all-around offensive and playmaking skills as the Thunder won 117-95 over the Mavericks. Alexander was outstanding in the game, shooting nearly 42 percent from the field on 8-of-19 shooting. He hit two of four three-pointers and showed consistent outside shooting. At the free-throw line, he was even better, shooting 11-of-13 from the field and shooting 84.6 percent from the free-throw line.
Alexander scored 29 points and was the Thunder's leading scorer. He was excellent on the offensive end, but also contributed on the defensive end, getting one steal and two blocks. In addition, he grabbed nine rebounds and dished out nine assists for his teammates. Alexander's all-round performance brought the Thunder a crucial victory. His leadership, attacking and organisational skills were on full display during the game. There's no doubt that Alexander is the Thunder's MVP of the game, and his performance will give the team a strong boost in the playoffs.
With the Thunder riding a five-game winning streak in the playoffs, their playoff journey is becoming more and more rewarding. They have proven that they are capable enough to challenge any opponent, and their goal is clearly to win the championship.
The Mavericks lost 95-117 to the Thunder in today's game, a loss that made the team's prospects in the playoffs even tougher. And one of the main reasons for this loss was the poor performance of their core player, Doncic.
Doncic struggled in this game, hitting six of his 19 shots from the field, including just one of eight three-point attempts. Although he also contributed six rebounds, nine assists and two steals, his scoring inefficiency severely affected the team's offensive tempo. Doncic is a key player for the Mavericks, and his performance has a direct impact on the team's wins and losses. In this game, his shot selection, shooting percentage, and decision-making in key moments were all problematic, which put his team in a difficult position.
