In the second round of G5 in the West, the Mavericks defeated the Thunder 104-92 away, leading 3-2. In this game, the Mavericks did a significantly better job offensively and defensively, the offensive end has always been efficient, and the defensive end has always been able to hold down the Thunder to score, which also allows the Mavericks to continue to maintain their advantage and finally win the battle of Tianwang Mountain.
This six people is a perfect score. It has to be said that Doncic's adjustment is a historical-level performance. The day before yesterday's super sluggish performance, today's super efficient and reasonable triple-double. 11-of-22 in the game cut 31+10+11 data. What's more critical is that Doncic's dominance on the defensive end is still very strong, he is completely an offensive and defensive existence, and he really won't pull his hips in key battles.
Little Jones was still a huge surprise. He scored 19 points on 7-of-4 shooting in the first quarter. Don't forget, he was still a core player for the Mavericks on the defensive end, leading the team to win the game with one offense and one defense at the last moment. Irving is actually not bad, and his biggest trouble with the Mavericks is that he has too little ball possession on the offensive end, which makes it difficult for him to dominate the situation on the offensive end. However, in terms of the value of tandem and defense, Irving can still maintain.
Washington has emerged as the Mavericks' best signing this season. In the case of 2 in the middle of the half, he could warm up in time in the second half, and scored five points in a row twice in a row to break the heart of the Lone Ranger. Gafford and Lively are still very influential on the inside. Gafford has prevented Holmgren from dominating the interior, while Lively has been able to maintain an excellent offensive and defensive performance on the court. These two guys have 20+17 data for the whole game, and their influence on the inside line is enough.
Green, Hardaway, and Hardy are all signs of a crash. Super large open three-pointers, shooting three without sticking, 1 of 5 shooting in the whole game, really out of state. At the same time, Hardaway began to make mistakes in the final quarter, and with an 18-point lead, he went up to lose a rhythm of points. Both offense and defense are signs of collapse, which makes people desperate. Hardy was even taken by one step every time, and whoever passed him was one step, 1 of 5 on the offensive end, and the play of these three people really pulled his hips.
