Another 2-2 attack in the NBA! 1st in the West made a difficult reversal and caught up with the score! The 5th place in the west is a little regrettable -
On May 14, in the NBA Western Conference semifinals G4, the Thunder challenged the Mavericks away. No. 1 in the West is under great pressure, and as the leader of the regular season, he did not expect to encounter trouble in the playoffs, and the situation is passive and unfavorable. The Mavericks entered the playoffs as the fifth in the West, eliminated the Clippers in the first round of the series, and this time met the leader, Irving and Doncic each had key plays, and achieved a comeback in the situation.
The plot trend of the first two quarters was that the Mavericks won every quarter and led by as many as 11 points at halftime.
In the third quarter, the Thunder responded many times, biting the situation and avoiding being pulled apart. On the other hand, Washington continued to explode in the second half, hitting consecutive three-pointers, and the Thunder's defense against him was very inadequate. Irving scored on a throw-in and Alexander hit a pull-out. Wallace hit a three-point shot on the wing, and at the end of the third quarter, the Thunder chased it to 65-69, and there was still a lot of suspense in the game.
In the final quarter, Doncic rolled over and scored on a throw-up, and Jones sent a block. Doncic pushed to the basket and Jones scored on a dunk. Dort scored on a layup, and Dort hit a three-pointer from the bottom corner. Doncic scored 2 points on a step-back jumper, and Irving missed a 3-pointer from the outside. Holmgren hit a 2-pointer, and Lively, Jones scored one after another. Wallace hit a three-pointer and Wiggins hit a three-pointer from the outside.
At the last moment of the last quarter, the situation changed abruptly, and the Thunder team played a wave of climaxes and overtook by 5 points! Jalenway key 4 points, Alexander continues to exert force! Doncic made 1 of 2 fatal free throws when his team was down by 2 points, which was frustrating. Holmgren hit 2 free throws to end the suspense. 98-95, congratulations to the Thunder.
In the end, the Thunder completed a 14-point reversal, with a big score of 2-2, and dragged into the battle of Tianwang Mountain.
Doncic did not perform well, although he got a triple-double, but his personal efficiency was low, his offensive desire was not too great, and there were many mistakes, especially 1 of 2 free throws in the decisive moment......
