From a 14-point lead to a four-point loss, the Mavericks experienced a rollercoaster ride and suffered an 18-point comeback at home. 18 points reversal, 34 + 18 + 17, Tianwang Mountain is coming, who is the key to winning, the data does not lie.

Schedule review: The game seemed to be one-sided at the beginning, the Thunder's starting lineup did not play well, only scoring 6 points in the first half of the quarter, while the Mavericks entered the state early, and the role players were the first to explode, and they took a double-digit lead in the first quarter of the game. And always dominated the court in the scorching second and third quarters, with players such as Washington, Gafford and Jones playing well to help the Mavericks take the lead. On the opposite side, the Thunder relied on Alexander's play, biting the score hard, and at the critical moment in the final quarter, the young Thunder had more players stand up, and shot a wave of offensive climaxes to complete the score in one fell swoop, and at the last moment, both sides missed the opportunity to take away the game directly, and the Mavericks missed the opportunity to equalize three consecutive free throws, and finally the Thunder narrowly beat the Mavericks by four points to make the series 2:2.

Alexander, the star of this game, can be said to have played quite well, hitting 11 of 27 shots in the game, scoring 34 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. In the first three quarters of the game, when the team's offensive situation was not good, he carried the team forward with one person, and at the critical moment in the final quarter, he scored 10 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, a steal and a block in a single quarter on 4-of-7 shooting, helping the team win the game. Gilgeous Alexander is currently averaging 31.8 points, 9.8 rebounds, 7.0 assists, 2.8 blocks and 1.3 steals per game in the series against the Mavericks, shooting 48% from the field and 45% from three-point range. There is no doubt about personal strength.

In addition, Williams, Holm, Grundurt and other players have also stepped up. Holmgren maintained an efficient output throughout the game, hitting key three-pointers at critical moments in the final quarter, hitting 6 of 9 shots in the game and getting 18 points and 9 rebounds. Dort had 8 points and 2 rebounds on 2-of-4 shooting in the final quarter, and Williams also played a key role in the final quarter, contributing 7 points, 1 rebound, 3 assists and 1 steal.

The young Thunder relied on the play in the final quarter, from a maximum of 14 points behind to a four-point narrow victory over the opponent to complete an 18-point reversal, the series score was 2:2, and the game was successfully dragged to the battle of Tianwang Mountain. It can be said that the team's ability to go from falling behind to reversing the starting lineup has contributed a lot, and of course, the manager's adjustment is also very crucial, and he decisively abandoned Keady. In this game, he only played 12 minutes, only hit two shots in 8 shots, and only had 5 points and 2 rebounds. As a result, the trend of the series as a whole has become more uncertain.

For the Mavericks, they played quite badly in this game, although the decision-making players played early to help the team take the lead, but the stars Doncic and Irving were both sluggish, and Doncic hit 6 of 20 shots in the whole game, although it reached a triple-double of 18 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists, but the efficiency was quite low; Irving was directly invisible in the last quarter, and he completely lost 5 shots in this game, hitting only one goal in 5 shots, and only got 9 points, one rebound and 9 assists in the whole game by hitting four of 11 shots. There was a chance to rewrite the series to 3:1, and they were eventually reversed, so it will be interesting to see how the Mavericks adjust next. In the end, this set of matchups will definitely be more exciting.
