At the beginning of the first quarter of the game, Thomas hit a three-point point for the Nets to take the lead in opening the situation, Durant and Booker relied on free throws to score 3 points, Beal scored 4 points in a row, Cameron Johnson and Claxton scored in response, the two sides played very close in the first half of the first quarter, but at the end of the quarter, Bridges scored 5 points in a row, Cameron Johnson hit a three-pointer, and the Nets established a 9-point lead in one go. Bridges scored eight points in the first quarter.
In the second quarter, Cameron Johnson continued to hit three points to help the team expand the lead, and the Nets extended the lead to 15 points in one breath, seeing that the team was about to collapse, Booker stood up, he first hit a shot, and then assisted his teammates to score, and then Booker scored 2+1 and hit three points, and under his leadership, the team gradually caught up with the point difference, Booker scored 16 points in a single quarter, but at the end of the quarter, the Nets relied on the play of the bench, and they extended their lead to 7 points to end the first half.
E-side rematch Beal and Durant scored one after another to help the team narrow the gap, Cameron Thomas hit two three-pointers in a row to stop the bleeding, and then Booker and Little combined for 5 points to narrow the deficit to 5 points, Dinwiddie relied on free throws to stop the bleeding, Nurkic and Booker played an 8-0 counterattack to help the team overtake the opponent, and at the end of the quarter, Bridges scored 4 points in a row and Durant to help the Nets narrow the deficit to 3 points to end the third quarter.
In the final quarter, Cameron Thomas stepped up again, scoring eight straight points to help the Nets re-establish the lead. After that, the two sides fell into a stalemate, the difference has been within 5 points, Dinwiddie hit a three-pointer at the critical moment, helping the Nets lead by 6 points in the last 2 minutes, Durant and Booker fought back, but time was no longer on their side, and finally the Suns lost to the Nets 112-116.
After chatting about the game process, let's talk about the players' play, the Nets played the best on the side of this game is Cameron Thomas, he shot 6 of 15, 4 of 7 three-pointers and got 24 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, Thomas is the No. 27 pick in the first round in 21, the draft template of that year was Lu Wei, and he had a good offensive ability with the ball when he first entered the league, but the Nets at that time were still a championship team under the leadership of Durant and Irving, and he didn't get too many opportunities.
After the Nets rebuilt last season, Cameron Thomas has also been used by the team this season, and he has played well this season, scoring when Bridges is guarded by opponents, and he is averaging 234 points 32 rebounds and 2With 3 assists and a 44% shooting rate, which is very good, there is no doubt that Thomas is now a talent.
The Nets can play enough players on this team, which is why they can finish in the top eight of the division this season, Bridges scored 21 points and 3 rebounds in this game, Dinwiddie got 14 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, Cameron Johnson scored 15 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, Claxton got 14 points and 7 rebounds, Finneysmith and O'Neal both scored 8 points, this team can play enough players, but it lacks top stars.
The Suns played well on the side of Booker, 9 of 13 shots, 2 of 4 three-pointers got 34 points, 5 rebounds and 12 assists, after the Big Three teamed up, the team's offensive space was indeed better, which also made Booker play very easily on the offensive end, but also because the Big Three were too humble and did not distinguish between priorities and priorities, so many times they did not choose to finish alone, and passed, which also affected the team's offense.
Durant shot 9 of 18 from the field, 1 of 4 from three-point range and got 27 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, although he just came back, but Durant's condition is still very good, Beal shot 6 of 9 from the field, 2 of 2 three-pointers got 14 points, 4 assists and 1 steal, maybe Beal needs to do more on the defensive end, his enthusiasm on the defensive end is not good to be honest, but the presence of the Big Three also gives role players more opportunities to score easily.
Nurkic scored 15 points, 20 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks in the game, but because of the lack of Gordon on the bench, their firepower was very bad, and the bench scored a total of 5 points and 12 points, of which Little alone got 10 points and 7 rebounds, Watanabe, Diop and Eubanks scored a total of 0 points, which is also the impact of their formation of a super big three, the bench thickness is insufficient, but I believe that with the return of Grayson Allen and Gordon, their bench strength will improve.
