The three-pointer who had just been blown off by the whistle became the Mavericks in the background, and continued to move eastward, although it was back-to-back, but with an overall advantage, and still defeated the Raptors without rushing forward; The Pelicans were hit by the Pacers, who failed to make a big comeback on the road and were tied by the Suns; In the last round of the Los Angeles derby, the Clippers had a big advantage, but by the end of the game, they had completely collapsed. James had the upper hand in the game.
The Mavericks defeated the Raptors to end the losing streak, and Doncic scored 30+3 doubles again.
This is the final game for the Dallas Mavericks, and in the battle for fifth to eighth place in the West, victory or defeat is a big deal. The Mavericks can't afford to lose to the rebuilding Raptors, and Exum's return gives the Mavericks their strongest roster.
Maybe because of the back-to-back games, the Mavericks didn't have the advantage in the opening game, but the Raptors also had a good offense on their own home court. Although the Mavericks had four players score in double digits in the first half, the Raptors ended the game by just one point in the second half of the second quarter. But in the third quarter, the Mavericks broke out, Doncic and Irving led the team, coupled with the strong play of Washington and Gafford in a game, the Mavericks widened the score with a 15-point advantage. But in the third quarter, Irving scored 15 straight points to lead the Mavericks to complete control of the game, and Doncic also completed a triple-double, and in the end, Dallas defeated the Raptors 136-125 to claim their first victory in the East.
Doncic scored 30 points, 11 rebounds and 16 assists, setting two new records. First, Doncic surpassed James to become the third triple-double 30+ player in history. In addition, at the age of 25, Doncic also achieved a 30+ triple-double, and he also became the first person ever to score a triple-double on his birthday night. With 29 points and three assists in his last two games, Irving is undoubtedly the best two-line player in the league right now. Coach Kidd also learned to be obedient, he let Washington and Gafford play a few more games, and these two players played well and helped the Mavericks to victory, especially Washington, who scored a team-high 23 points, grabbed six rebounds and three blocks.
The Raptors are a trade team from top to bottom, with good role players but a lack of a good core. Shooter Scott Barnes had 19 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists, but he contributed more to the team. Quigley had 28 points and nine assists, and Barrett contributed 26 points, five rebounds and six assists, but he suddenly disappeared at a critical moment, making the Mavericks' "two-gun king" unable to play a role.
The Pelicans completed a 20-point lead, and the Suns rose to fifth place in the West.
Both teams are offensive and defensive teams that are in a crucial period of contention for the title. The Pacers currently sit in eighth place in the Eastern Conference and are just two games shy of the fourth-place Knicks. The Pelicans can't afford to lose again, they want to finish in the top five in the West, and any slight misstep will drop them to the play-in tournament.
The Pacers lit Haliburton's marquee and ended the game with a 16-point advantage in the first quarter. After a period of recuperation, Walker did not give up his offense, and the Pelicans also recovered from the shock, they opened the score with a 20-point advantage, and Ingram also received help from McCollum and Williamson in succession to help the Pelicans recover a single-digit gap. But the Pacers still controlled the situation in time, and on the Pelicans' side, McCollum and Williamson were also full of holes on the offensive end, constantly making mistakes, which made them lose their chance to win, and in the end, the Pacers defeated the Pelicans 123-114 and won a game.
Ingram had 30 points, six rebounds and four assists, but couldn't lead the Pelicans to win the game. McCollum and Williamson each scored 23 points, but instead of playing the role of heroes in the game, they eventually lost the game. In addition to the Pelicans not being able to turn over, the Suns also rose to 5th place in the West and were caught up by the Dallas Mavericks.
Siakam finished with 24 points, 11 rebounds and five assists to become the Pacers' leading scorer. Haliburton didn't play as well as he should, scoring just 17 points, but he contributed 13 assists, while the other six all scored in double figures. In addition, the Pacers became a classic spoiler, and the Suns, Pelicans, Mavericks, and Kings were all defeated by the Pacers this season, which was a big deal.
James scored 19 points in the fourth quarter to help the Lakers lose to the Clippers in a local derby.
The two teams have met three times before that, with the Lakers taking their first two wins and the Clippers retaliating on their home court. This is the final round of the Los Angeles derby, and both teams want to win this game, and both teams have fewer players, especially the Clippers' George and Zubac.
However, the Clippers have maintained the advantage, especially in the second quarter, when Harden scored 16 points alone, and the Clippers had a 14-point lead. In the third quarter, the Clippers didn't let up, and they continued to shoot from the perimeter, and Norman Powell accomplished that feat with a 19-point advantage. James hit five three-pointers in a row without warning to give the Lakers the victory, and his teammates started to get into the groove, especially Russell's three-pointer that nearly ended the game. Led by James, the Lakers won 112-116 against the Clippers in an incredible victory.
The 39-year-old James scored 19 points on his own, especially in the fourth quarter, and he showed his strength by chipped in 34 points, six rebounds and eight assists. Brother Thick Mei is still a mid-laner of the three, and there are three people who score double-doubles, namely Russell, Reeves and Hachimura. Of course, the Lakers' bench wasn't very good, with Dinwiddie, Reddish, Prince, and Hayes all four combined for 14 points, which is not difficult for a slightly more competitive team.
With George and Zubac out of the lineup, the Clippers' morale took a big hit, even though they played well in this game. Leonard had 26 points, seven rebounds and six assists, while Harden had 23 points and nine assists, but he didn't step up when it mattered. Fortunately, the performance of the second team was okay, Powell scored 14 points and got 4 rebounds, Westbrook scored 8 points, Plumlee scored 8 points, to be honest, the overall strength of the Clippers is stronger than the Lakers, but their lineup has not been good enough, which is why this season, the Clippers only achieved a 1-3 score in the game with the Lakers.
