Woj: "Remember, Bronny is going to have an impact on the team, not just on a basketball level, but potentially on a commercial level. He's almost certainly going to start in the Development League, he's going to fill out Development League games, he's going to sell a lot of merch, all of that makes him an attractive player, whether it's at the end of the first round or the second round, and I think his chance to play in the NBA is certainly there. ”

Alexander 34 points! Doncic misses key free throw! Thunder 2 to 2 Mavericks!
In the NBA Western Conference semifinals G4, the Thunder reversed the Mavericks 100-96 away and pulled the score to 2-2! Alexander 34 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists, Holmgren 18 points, 9 rebounds and 4 blocks, Dort 17 points and 8 boards, Jalen Williams 14 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 steals; Washington 21 points and 12 boards, Doncic 18 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists, Jones 17 points and 4 blocks, Gafford 10 points, 8 rebounds and 3 blocks, Irving 9 points and 9 assists; The Mavericks made 12-of-23 free throws......
The Thunder made 3 of 19 three-pointers in the first three quarters, calling the world ineffective, calling the ground should not be, the Mavericks were originally large, and the outside line was blocked if the inside line was not opened, and the Thunder finally played a game with a shooting rate of only 35% in the restricted area, which was miserable. Even if the Thunder defense has been on the line, the gap between this ball and most games should have been 15-20 points long ago, and the reason why the Thunder were not thrown away was completely pulled back by SGA one by one from a mid-range. The Mavericks' free throws were simply 12-of-23 from the field and the Thunder were 23-of-24. But it was not only his free throw shooting percentage that killed the Mavericks, but also Gilgeous Alexander's supernatural play in the second half, almost all of them were mid-range jumpers, scoring 34 points alone, and Irving and Luka combined for only 27 points. It's hard to say about the battle of Tianwang Mountain now, it all depends on the on-the-spot performance
The Mavericks almost won the night, and finally lost at dawn, and just like that, they missed the match point of the series. My emotion for this game is that the game is played by the players after all. The Thunder's young head coach Mark Dagneault has been questioned a lot lately, with his insistence on a long rotation in the playoffs, his vacillation in the use of Giddey, and the lack of care for P.J. Washington, who has exploded in a row, allowing Washington to play 3 consecutive 20+ games, all of which have become controversial issues.
But he did at least one thing: to reduce the scoring output of the Doncic + Irving aces, which the Thunder had done before, but it reached its extreme level today, with the Eastern European duo combining for 27 points on 31 shooting. But is that the key to the Thunder winning the game? No, the Thunder turned over in the end, and it was Holmgren and Dort who hit those two damn three-pointers from left and right, and the Mavericks' performance as a whole team struggling at the free throw line. One after another, Thunder escaped from life.
Includes SGA individual performance. In fact, because of the lack of three-point ability, SGA does not have the ability of most ball-handling guards in the league today to increase production indefinitely, and players like Mitchell, Lillard, Edwards, and Murray all seem to have an easier time in the playoffs to reach a 40+ than SGA. But under such individual technical limitations, against the Mavericks, the team with the best rim protection in this year's playoffs, Alexander took his points with 14 various mid-range shots......
The resilience of the Thunder is amazing. From the first quarter, the long-range shots were crushed, and the Mavericks scored one desperate mid-range shot after another, and the Thunder couldn't shoot alive, and the frame was covered 14 times; In the first three and a half quarters, there was no tie or overtake, and every time I just wanted to chase the Mavericks, I could score a difficult shot, which can be said to be a desperate situation;
It's like a drowning person whose head has been pressed under the surface of the water, without breathing, and is born at a critical moment; The Mavericks' defensive rotation in the first three quarters was excellent, but it also took a physical toll for it; When the Mavericks ran out of strength and the defensive rotation loosened, the Thunder really began to respond with three points, and they shot 3 in the final half of the quarter, and a total of 4 in the first three and a half quarters;
2-2 draw!! In the second round of G4, the Thunder defeated the Mavericks 100-96! The Mavericks led almost the entire game, and the fourth quarter was reversed by the Thunder, and the Eastern European combination did not stand up this time, Doncic shot 18 points from 19, and Irving shot 9 points from 11! Alexander is still stable, with 34 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists in the whole game, 10 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists in a single quarter in the fourth quarter.
Of course, the greatest glory goes to SGA, two game-breaking goals, so that the Thunder can finally take a breath, that moment is a reversal of momentum, may be one of the most critical nodes of the whole series; The top 4 players in the series (SGA, Jalen, 77, Irving), SGA's perfect performance of filling the data column today crushed the other three;
Fierce confrontation! The Thunder defeated the Mavericks 100-96, and I have to admit three indisputable facts: the intensity of the confrontation in this game has completely returned to the feeling of twenty years ago, basically without any body hair whistle blowing penalty, this kind of defensive intensity is the hard ability to fight for the middle distance, and there is basically no chance of simple scoring! Doncic and Irving combined couldn't beat Alexander, and they couldn't imagine that the Mavericks relied on role players to score at the last moment, while the Thunder relied on stars to score!
Alexander's mid-range shooting at critical moments is terrible, it is completely Jordan Kobe's style of play, and he single-handedly brings the game back, and this performance is definitely more worthy of MVP than Jokic! The first round of the series is not over, and the great Kyrie Irving has not scored in two games without a double-double. I don't know what's going on in his head. It's okay to lose games, or even series, but I don't want to see such a sluggish state. Look at Tianwang Mountain, if the offensive end is still in this half-dead state, it will be too disappointing for the fans.
In the NBA playoffs, the Mavericks lost to the Thunder 96-100 at home, and the series was 2-2. After the game, Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving spoke to reporters. "Don't panic... Stay poised）。 Owen said. It's not a very emotional time yet, sometimes it's just a game like today. But we know how to play together, how to play well in key moments.
We need to continue to execute well in critical moments like this, controlling rebounds and open threes. The opposing players played well and made a lot of difficult shots. I had five fouls myself and I need to get better and I have to follow the game plan and help my team-mates more. Owen said.
