This round of the series between the Mavericks and the Clippers is destined to go deep. However, after the first two games, when the team played a 1-1 draw, the third game is quite crucial, because this is the battle of Xiaotianwang Mountain, and whoever wins will have the advantage. Everyone in G3 has also seen that the Lone Ranger is like a rainbow at home, and he is still quite brave. So as far as this game is concerned, there are also a lot of analysis points. Crazy win + score lead, 4 people became big contributors, Doncic enjoyed it, George promised it empty.
In a game of close strength, the Mavericks can win by 11 points, which is actually a crazy game, and it is also a big win, there is no doubt about that. After winning this game, the Mavericks not only held their first home court, but also took a big lead. With the intensity of the game they showed, they will continue to be full. For the Clippers, there is no doubt that the game will be quite difficult when the giants don't score double-doubles.
So from the perspective of the Mavericks, who is the hero of the victory in this game? Although Gafford didn't play much time in this game, he was quite tough defensively during his playing time. After the whole game, Gafford got 8 points, 4 rebounds and 3 blocks. The inside line guarded by Gafford can be said to be airtight. I have to say that the Mavericks' deal was very successful and successfully plugged their shortcomings.
Second place is Doncic. Doncic is the mainstay of the team, and he has a lot of responses. Doncic doesn't seem to be shooting efficiently in this game, but it's not uncommon to shoot inefficiently at this level, after all, you can't give you an easy shot like you did in the regular season. Doncic finished the game with 22 points, 10 rebounds and 9 assists. In fact, what made everyone even more amazing was the defensive end, Doncic refreshed everyone's cognition.
The third is Owen. I have to say that when you have two players on the outside who are extremely explosive in scoring, the game naturally has a lot of variations. Irving can score with the ball and shoot from the spot. This game Irving was not good in the first half, but it exploded directly in the second half. Irving had 21 points, 6 assists and 4 rebounds, and was arguably the best helper next to Doncic. This year, with Irving, Doncic also enjoyed it, and it was a big success.
The fourth place is PJ. As far as PJ's performance in this game goes, there's nothing to fault with it. Although he was with me in the end, the time period when he was present also had a great effect. PJ had 10 points, 5 rebounds and 3 steals in the game, and his plus/minus reached +23, the highest on the team. In addition, role players like Lively also play a certain role in their rotation time, and they also have some roles.
If you want to talk about George, the core of the Clippers, it is difficult to say anything on his side. George also made a promise before the game, which is to try to win G3 and seize the opportunity. However, George's promise was in vain, and the game was quite pulled. George hit 3-of-11 shots and contributed just seven points, five rebounds and five assists. George was affected by the foul, yes, but Irving also committed 4 fouls early, and the performance of the two G3 showed a world of difference.
For the Clippers, the next G4 must win, and it will be a morale boost with a big win. If G4 loses again, the series will basically be out of suspense.
