In this game, although Doncic's defense was okay, his offensive performance was really average, 6 of 20 in the game, got a triple-double of 18 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists, but there were also 7 turnovers, and only 1 of the 2 free throws that could equalize the score at the last moment changed the trend of the game, and the key free throws were too pulled!
2. Owen: Stealth today! The organization is good, but the hand is not good. played 20 minutes and 33 seconds in the first half, only made 4 shots, 2 of 4 shots, 0 of 1 three-pointer, got 4 points, 1 rebound and 7 assists, and the plus/minus of +19 was the highest in the game!

In the crucial fourth quarter, Irving scored just 2 points on 1-of-5 shooting. Obviously, you can turn on the attack mode earlier, but you have been assisting. Obviously, the scoring ability is so strong, but it doesn't attack!
3. PJ-Washington: Stable snipers on the outside are also difficult to stop. In the first half, he played 19 minutes and made 4 of 10 shots, 3 of 7 three-pointers, contributed 11 points and 4 rebounds, and the plus/minus was as high as +16.

4. Derrick Jones Jr.: Minister of Frame Protection. He played 27 minutes, scoring 17 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist on 7-of-12 shooting (6-of-7 from two-point range), 1-of-5 from three-point range and 2-of-4 from the free-throw line. Defensively, Jones actively protected the basket and sent four big hats.
5. Gafford and Lively: Brotherhood of Eating Cakes! The Mavericks took turns eating cakes on the court and made multiple blocks on the defensive end.

6. Alexander: Become the king of jump shots! In the first half, he played 19 minutes, shooting 5 of 9, 0 of 1 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws, and got 12 points and 3 rebounds. The only double-double in the first half of the team. played 42 minutes in the game, scored 35 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks on 14-of-27 shooting, and had no turnovers! It is worth mentioning that all 14 of Alexander's goals in this game were jump shots, which can be called the king of jump shots! In the last quarter, one shot was accurate, and in the end, it was still out if it didn't enter! That's awesome! A new generation of CIC Little Prince!
7. Holmgren: Offensive and defensive integration! The key free throws were solid. In this game, he played 40 minutes, shot 6 of 9, 1 of 2 three-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, and scored 18 points, 9 rebounds, 1 steal and 4 blocks. Key three-pointers and free throws, as you can see in the regular season, is a proper big heart player.
8. Jalen Williams: 7 points in the final quarter to complete redemption! In this game, Thunder players played 41 minutes, shooting 5 of 19, 0 of 2 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and got 14 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 steals. It is worth mentioning that Jalen Williams scored 7 points alone in the final quarter to help the team turn around. The offense is iron, but the defense is excellent, and it is passable. Jalen Williams should be a little more resolute, if he wants to play, he will come by himself, and many times he will hesitate to pass the ball when he pulls away from the attack, and the final effect is counterproductive.
9. Dot: Although it feels cold and inefficient, the defense is tough! In the first half, he played 20 minutes and only made 1 of 8 shots, 0 of 5 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and got 6 points and 4 rebounds, with a plus/minus of -13.

Although Dort's offensive efficiency is not high, he is tough enough on the defensive end, and he scored 8 points on a key three-point shot in the final quarter. Don't complain about always playing the toughest way you play, the toughest online defender in the league. Slapped Doncic in the face today.
10. Keady is still in the doldrums. In this game, he played 12 minutes, shot 2-of-8, 1-of-3 three-pointers, scored 5 points, 2 assists, 1 steal, 1 block, 2 turnovers, and a plus/minus of +6. Keady really doesn't want to start again in the future, just come up and serve the sideline ball last, it's better to let Hayward play 15 minutes or so, and the experience of space defense is okay.
11. It hurts! The Mavericks shot just 52.2% of 12-of-23 from the free-throw line, missing multiple free throws at critical moments.
In this game, the Mavericks had a poor free throw shooting percentage, with a total of 12 of 23 free throws, and the shooting rate was only 52.2%.
