On May 12, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs continued. In today's Western Conference semifinals, the Mavericks defeated the Thunder 105-101 at home to take a 2-1 series lead!

The Mavericks' win today is directly related to the excellent performance of the team's big three: Doncic, Irving and the team's new signing Washington in the middle of the season. In today's game, the three of them combined for 71 points, and apart from the three of them, only Lively scored 12 points in the team.

Doncic still played with an injury today, and although the shooting percentage was not high, Doncic still contributed a very consistent performance. In the whole game, Doncic shot 7 of 17, including 1 of 4 three-pointers and 7 of 10 free throws, totaling 22 points, 15 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 turnovers. In the second half, Doncic cut back on individual shots, but he spared no effort on the defensive end and led the team to an offensive climax by providing assists for his teammates on multiple occasions.

Irving was very consistent on the offensive end, shooting 10-of-17 from the field, including 2-of-6 from three-point range, for a total of 22 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists. After scoring just eight points in the first half, Irving stepped up his offensive firepower in the second half, hitting two three-pointers in the third quarter and three back-to-back mid-range shots early in the final quarter. Compared to the first two games of the series, Irving had the best performance of the series.

The Mavericks' biggest surprise today was still Washington. In G2 of the two-team series, Washington scored 29 points to be a surprise man, and he still struggled for the Thunder today. In the game, Washington shot 11 of 23, including 5 of 12 three-pointers, and scored a total of 27 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists. He frantically attacked the Thunder's basket in the first quarter, and then from the second quarter of the game, Washington began to hit consecutive outcourt shots, helping the team hit multiple offensive highs.

Now that the Mavericks are leading the Thunder 2-1, they have a very good chance of reaching the Western Conference finals. From the earliest Doncic one-man team, to the Eastern European group leading the Mavericks, to now having the Big Three in the playoffs, the Mavericks have a great opportunity to take off.

According to the schedule, the G4 series between the two teams will be played on May 14, when the Mavericks will continue to play at home. Let's wait and see.
