The Thunder team really played hotly this time, beating the Mavericks 117-95, this game is simply exciting, it is completely a visual feast! You say, how strong is this, five consecutive games to keep the opponent under 95 points, this defensive intensity, is comparable to the Spurs in 2016.
Let's talk about the MVP this time, it must be Alexander. This guy scored 32 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists, and he was an all-round warrior who could play both offense and defense. You see him on the court, easily shuttling through the gaps in the Mavericks' defense, delivering the fatal blow again and again, it feels like playing hide and seek with the opponent, and before they can react, the ball is already in the frame.
And then there's our new star, Holmgren, who is a real surprise and it's rare for a rookie to shine so well in the playoffs. Not only did he score 20 points in this game, but he also had so many rebounds and blocks that it was a moving wall, and it was not difficult for opponents to break through his defense.
Don't forget Jalen Williams and Aaron Wiggins, who also contributed a lot. Jalen's several fast breaks and cuts in this game have put tremendous pressure on the opponent each time. And Aronna's calm three-point shot was a shot in the arm for the team at a critical moment.
Another highlight of this game is the teamwork of the Thunder, leading in rebounds and assists, which is not only due to the outstanding performance of individual players, but also the tacit understanding and unity of the entire team. Every player contributed to the team's victory, and this team spirit is difficult for any opponent to beat.
Next, the Thunder will have a big challenge, and they will need to maintain this high-intensity defense and efficient offense in the coming games. No opponent will be a fuel-efficient lamp, and the Thunder will need to continue to play their team spirit and individual abilities in the upcoming games if they want to remain undefeated.
Overall, the game was more than just a win, it was a showcase of team strength. The Thunder have shown us with their performance that the playoffs require not only star-studded individuals, but also selfless teams. This kind of thunder is full of expectations, and it really makes people want to see what kind of wonderful performance they can bring us next.
So, let's wait and see how far this dynamic and potential Thunder team can go in this playoffs. Regardless, they have proven themselves to be more than just an ordinary team, but a strong team with relentless fighting spirit and excellent tactical execution.
