The sixth game of the Western Conference semifinals of the 23-24 NBA playoffs has just been played, and the Thunder, who once had a 17-point advantage, was finally killed by free throws, and the Thunder regretfully stopped in the Western Conference semifinals. Alexander scored 36 points today, and he made four three-pointers today.
In today's game, the Thunder made 10 three-pointers in the first half, but in the second half, the Thunder only made 5 shots, and the Thunder shot 15 of 41 three-pointers in the whole game.
Today's game rebounding once again became the key to victory, the Thunder lost consecutive rebounds in the final quarter, the emaciated Holmgren was completely unable to withstand the impact of Lively and Washington, and the Mavericks got a lot of secondary offensive opportunities, many of which were converted into scoring.
With the exception of Alexander, the Thunder's other so-called star players have been inconsistent in their performances, so can the rest of the Thunder's youngsters keep up with Alexander's pace? If not, then the Thunder may not be able to do much in the West, the Thunder should also consider bringing in a more reliable veteran this summer to help the team, Hayward is definitely a very bad signing, he will help the Thunder in this year's playoffs is almost 0, what will the Thunder do this summer to upgrade the team's roster?
