On February 28, Beijing time, the Cavaliers played at home against the Mavericks, and the Cavaliers successfully defeated the Mavericks 121-119 at the end of the game. This game is still very important for the Mavericks, after all, the competition in the West is fierce, and the Mavericks have fallen to the eighth place in the West after losing to the Pacers, but the gap between the Mavericks and the Kings and the Pelicans is not large, so as long as the Mavericks can stop their decline, then the Mavericks have the opportunity to improve their rankings, but it is not easy for the Mavericks to beat the Cavaliers, after all, the current Knight lineup is relatively neat, and the current Knight is also in the second place in the East, Therefore, it is really difficult to say who will win between the two teams.
At the beginning of the first quarter, the two teams played fiercely, but the Mavericks opened the score with a wave of 13-4, but fortunately, the Cavaliers also responded, and the Cavaliers only trailed by 1 point at the end of the first quarter. In the second quarter, the Cavaliers opened the score with a three-pointer from the outside, but at a critical moment, Doncic stepped up to help the Mavericks chase the score, and the Mavericks trailed the Cavaliers by 4 points at halftime. In the second half, the Mavericks tied the score after Lively's layup score, and the next game was fierce and the score was very close, but in the fourth quarter of the game, Doncic's outburst once helped the Mavericks open the score, but when the Mavericks were about to win, Strus's outburst directly helped the Cavaliers catch up with the score, but soon Irving responded, plus Washington's score The Mavericks once led by 1 point, but surprisingly at the last moment, Strus shot three points in the backcourt, In the end, Strus hit a three-pointer to help the Cavaliers reverse and beat the Mavericks.
It was quite uncomfortable for the Mavericks to lose this game, after all, when the Mavericks were about to win in the fourth quarter of the game, Strus hit three points in a row and already brought huge pressure to the Mavericks, but Mobley's mistake gave the Mavericks a chance to win, and the Cavaliers had no timeout at the last moment. In this game, Doncic and Irving have already taken on the leadership responsibilities, but unfortunately in the end, Doncic and Irving scored 75 points, 15 rebounds and 17 assists.
At the same time, the Mavericks lost the game Kidd received a lot of criticism, after all, Kidd's coaching was questioned, and the arrival of Gafford should have made up for the shortcomings of the Mavericks' interior line, but unfortunately Gafford was not reused in the game, and Gafford only got less than 7 minutes of playing time in this game, on the other hand, Kleber was reused in the game, so the Mavericks lost the game Kidd was questioned. At the same time, Mitchell's play in this game is also crucial, after all, Mitchell hit three points at the end of the fourth quarter, Mitchell got 31 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists at the end of the game, but Garland's performance in the game was crotch-pulling, and Garland got 8 points, 1 rebound and 7 assists in 2 of 10 at the end of the game.
And the Cavaliers won Strus must be a great credit, this is not only Strus hit a long-range three-point shot, the fourth quarter of the game Strus three-point explosion is quite critical, otherwise the Cavaliers will not keep the suspense of the game, so this game Strus play is quite important, the game ended Strus got 21 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, of which in the fourth quarter of the game Strus three-point is 5 of 5. And Strus's play is also a heart-piercing Laker, the Lakers have signed Heat veterans Nunn and Vincent in recent seasons, but the two did not play well in the game, not to mention, they also suffered from injuries, the Lakers originally counted on Vincent to help the Lakers, but now Vincent has been absent for a short time, on the other hand, Strus still has good strength after coming to the Cavaliers, and Strus can get an average of 12 per game this season3 points 48 rebounds 38 assists.
