On February 7, 2024, Beijing time, the Nets ushered in the challenge of the Mavericks at home!
Owen is back here for the first time since leaving Brooklyn and this game is destined to be a sad one!
First of all, let's talk about the recent state of the two sides-
The Nets have a 3-2 record in their last five games, and the team's record has been hovering on the brink of the playoffs
The Mavericks, for their part, haven't fared much better, with just two wins and three losses in their last five games
Both sides are in terrible form and will be hoping to win this game to boost morale!
In the first quarter of the game, the two sides scuffled for a minute and a half without scoring.
It wasn't until Irving made a layup that broke the scoring drought, and then Claxton hit a layup.
2 to 2, the two teams finally have a sense of saber rattling
After that, Bridges hit a three-point shot, and Irving responded with a layup
In the 9th minute and 23 seconds of the game, Doncic also hit a three-point shot, and the two sides tied 7-7.
After that, the two teams started a big offensive battle, and the score took the lead alternately, and the two teams drew again at 6:03 of the game
For the rest of the first quarter, the Mavericks' offense was a little more violent.
They started with a 5-0 spurt and then a 7-0 spurt at the end of the game.
After two waves of attacks, the Mavericks took a 7-point lead, and at the end of the first quarter, the Mavericks temporarily led the Nets 31-24!
In the second quarter of the game, the Mavericks scored 4 points in a row as soon as they came up, and the Nets almost couldn't parry.
In the 9th minute and 34 seconds of the game, Wilson hit two free throws, and the Nets narrowed the gap to 10 points.
But then Hardaway hit another three-pointer, and the margin between the two sides remained in double digits
At 5:47 of the game, Irving hit a fast-break layup to give the Mavericks a 54-38 lead over the Nets
In the rest of the game, the Mavericks' offense still led the Nets.
At halftime, the Mavericks led the Nets by as many as 18 points, 65-47!
In the second half of the game, the Nets' offense was a little more violent
In the third quarter of the game, the Nets scored 30 points, and the Mavericks also scored 30 points
In the fourth quarter of the game, the Nets scored 30 points, and the Mavericks scored only 24 points
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Bridges hit a three-pointer to help the Nets close the score.
After that, O'Neal also hit a three-point shot, and Irving's pull-up jumper helped stop the bleeding.
The two teams played well in the opening stages of the fourth quarter, but the Mavericks maintained the lead by virtue of the advantage built up in the first three quarters.
In the 7th minute and 56 seconds of the game, Wilson's three-pointer hit again, and the Nets narrowed the gap to nine points.
However, the Mavericks' adjustment was still very fast, and when they saw that the Nets were showing signs of momentum, they immediately strengthened their offensive, and wave after wave of attacks came down, and the Mavericks finally defeated the Nets 119-107!
In terms of statistics, the Nets have four players scoring double-doubles today
Bridges chipped in 28 points, 1 rebound and 4 assists, while Thomas contributed 16 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists
O'Neal off the bench chipped in 18 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists, and Wilson chipped in 10 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists
Simmons ushered in a comeback today, contributing 9 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists in the game, this game is a game off, and the statistics are still so mediocre, Simmons is estimated that no team will want him after the Nets finish this contract.
On the Mavericks' side, the team had four players score double-doubles today
Doncic cut 35 points, 18 rebounds and 9 assists, this is O'Neal + Kobe Bryant combined, whether it is scores, rebounds, or even assists, Doncic's data can be called incomprehensible.
Irving's performance today was also amazing, with 36 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists
Green scored 12 points today, and Hardaway off the bench scored 14
Judging from the overall performance, the Mavericks' performance today is okay, but judging from the performance so far in the season, the Mavericks are still missing a big three, and if the team does not solve this point, the Mavericks will definitely not go far this season!
Fans and friends, how far do you think the Mavericks can go this season? Welcome to discuss!
