The NBA playoffs continued, no one thought that the East and West finals were 2:0 after the two games, the Timberwolves and the Mavericks can be said to be twists and turns, the Mavericks completed the final quarter of the big reversal when they were behind for nearly 20 minutes, and the Eastern European combination played both to harvest the game at the critical moment, and finally took a 2-0 lead in the series of two consecutive games away from home. 19 points reversal! The Mavericks won two games in a row, four of them were the heroes, and the balance of victory in the series was tilted.
At the beginning of the game, the two sides played very closely, the Mavericks relied on Doncic's play to bite the score, Irving faced Daniels' defense in the first half was a little sluggish, and in the middle of the second quarter, the Timberwolves once relied on the three-high lineup of Reed + Lee Kyle + Towns to play a wave and extend the lead to more than 18 points. Washington and Lively were on the offensive end in the second quarter to share the pressure on Doncic. In the third quarter, they gradually narrowed the gap, Doncic contributed 11 points in a single quarter, and at the critical moment in the final quarter, Irving scored consecutive points to complete the score overtake. At the critical moment in the stalemate, Kidd can be said to have a very accurate grasp of the team's offensive and defensive lineup, and the adjustment of the offensive and defensive lineup taught Finch a lesson, helping the Mavericks seize the opportunity, and finally completed a 19-point comeback away from home, from 18 points behind to a one-point difference in the completion of the opponent.
The Mavericks won Doncic played an indispensable role, he relied on his own play in the first three quarters to lead the team to bite the score, and at the end of the quarter, he reduced his offensive shots, more rebounding and offensive organization, sent 2 rebounds and 5 assists in a single quarter, and finally completed a quasi-final and contributed a big triple-double of 32 points, 10 rebounds and 13 assists in the whole game, which is the key to the Mavericks' victory.
Of course, although Irving's offensive efficiency in this game was not high, he hit 7 of 16 shots and got 20 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists, but you can always trust Irving at critical moments. Despite the sluggish first three quarters of this game, Kidd still gave him enough trust to rest in the third quarter. He was given more time to play 11 minutes in the final quarter, with a brief break in the middle due to defensive adjustments, and he made 4 of 5 shots to contribute 13 points and 3 assists, and also had a crucial three-pointer in the final minute or so to win the game.
Of course, as a striker, Gafford and Lively are equally indispensable; Fudd continued his excellent play with 16 points and five rebounds on 8-of-10 shooting, and Lively also played an efficient 6-shot shot with 14 points, nine rebounds and two assists, and they provided more help to the team against the Timberwolves inside. The performance of these four players can be said to be crucial to win, and of course, it is inseparable from the adjustment of head coach Kidd.
No matter how the Timberwolves deployed the defensive lineup and offense in this game, Kidd still walked at his own pace, including the team once trailing by nearly 20 points, and he did not say a wide range of rotation and adjustments to the lineup. Keep your rhythm and believe in the players on the field, and eventually they keep closing the difference. At critical moments in the final quarter, Kidd's quick personnel adjustments in the offensive and defensive rounds helped the team grasp the game. The Doncics completed a three-point kill to the Mavericks and scored a two-game winning streak against the Timberwolves on the road.
At present, the balance of victory has tilted in favor of the Mavericks, for the Timberwolves, the team lost nothing more than two points, the first star is not strong, Edwards and Towns are still very sluggish, if it were not for Reed's three-point hit to help the team bite the score, this game would not be stalemate until the last moment. Although Gobert got a double-double of 16 points and 10 rebounds, he was frequently named on the defensive end throughout the game. It depends on how Finch adjusts next.
You must know that in this game, they once pressed Gobert to the bench and used another three-high lineup to achieve miraculous results, but Finch still relied on his defense and over-believed that Gobert could help the team, which eventually led to the team suffering two consecutive defeats, and now they have no way to retreat in a disadvantageous position, do you think Finch will make lineup adjustments and personnel rotation changes in the next game?
