Second, Alexander's inexplicable performance
In this match, Alexander is undoubtedly the brightest star of the game. He shot 14-of-27 from the field and finished with 34 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists. Against the Mavericks' Eastern European duo - Doncic and Irving, two of the league's top singlesmen, Alexander did not have the slightest fear, but showed a better performance. He hit back-to-back mid-range shots to tie the score, and put the team back up with a crucial assist in the final minute of the game.

It is worth mentioning that Alexander also showed excellent leadership qualities in the game. Not only does he lead by example on the pitch and lead the team forward; He also actively communicates with his teammates off the field and encourages everyone to maintain their fighting spirit and confidence. It is with such a leader that the Thunder team can rise to the occasion and complete the counterattack in the face of adversity.
3. The regrettable defeat of the Lone Ranger
For the Mavericks, this game was undoubtedly a regrettable loss. They held the lead for the first three quarters, but were met with a fierce comeback from the Thunder in the final quarter. In particular, the performance of the two core players of Doncic and Irving is not ideal, they feel cold in the game and the shooting percentage is not high; And he failed to step up and help the team stabilize the situation at critical moments. Such a performance left the fans disappointed and regretted.
With the exception of the Eastern European pair, the rest of the Mavericks team also failed to perform at the level they should. They lacked enough fighting spirit and confidence in the game, and they failed to cause enough problems for the Thunder on the defensive end. This performance allowed the Mavericks to miss a match point and lose the game.
However, despite the loss, the Mavericks still have a lot of quality and potential. They showed excellent offensive and defensive abilities during the regular season; And in the playoffs, he also showed a good competitive form. As long as they can adjust their form in time and find the rhythm of the game; Then they still have a chance to come back from defeat and advance to the Western Conference Finals in the next game.
Fourth, the free throw becomes the winner and loser
In this game, the penalty became one of the key factors in determining the outcome of the game. The Mavericks shot 12-of-23 from the free-throw line and shot dismal; The Thunder, on the other hand, shot 23-of-24 from the field, a very high percentage. Such a huge gap made the Mavericks miss many opportunities to chase points; It also allowed the Thunder to stabilize the situation and complete the counterattack at a critical moment.
Free throws as an essential skill in basketball; It's crucial for the players. However, in this game; The Mavericks seem to have forgotten the importance of this skill; Frequent mistakes at critical moments. Such a performance made the fans feel regret and regret; It also made the Mavericks miss a great opportunity to advance to the Western Conference Finals.
