Irving was in hot form, hitting consecutive three-pointers, helping the team to a dream start of 14-4. The Suns seemed to be struggling, barely keeping up with the point difference under Durant's leadership. At the end of the first quarter, the Mavericks only led by 3 points, but their firepower was clearly not exhausted. In the second quarter, the Suns' offense completely fizzled out, while the Mavericks expanded their lead to 16 points with a multi-flower attack. The game took a dramatic turn in the third quarter. Nurkic and the Mavericks' Marshall and Washington suddenly erupted into physical conflict during a scramble under the basket. The argument escalated to multiple people swinging fists and shoving each other, with the situation once out of control. The referees quickly intervened to expel the three troublemakers and tried their best to calm the situation.

The Mavericks played with great aggression in this game, maintaining a significant lead in the first half. Even when the Suns closed in during the third quarter, they were still able to maintain their scoring advantage in the final quarter, ultimately defeating the Suns 98-89. It's worth noting that Doncic did not play in this game. Three players had outstanding performances throughout the game. Thompson, after entering the court at a critical moment in the final quarter, played exceptionally well overall. He was able to control both offense and defense, grabbing rebounds and making key plays, finishing with an impressive stat line of 11 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists, showcasing his versatility on the court. Gafford also performed well, especially after Nurkic was ejected, as he stepped up and contributed 16 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 blocks, exerting good pressure on the interior. Kleber took control of the situation in the closing moments, scoring on offense and making steals and free throws on defense, exploding on both ends of the court, becoming the ace in the hole for this match. Irving, Dinwiddie, PJ, Marshall, and Powell all had passable performances. Irving's biggest issue in this game was missing shots; he started off well in the first quarter but struggled to maintain his accuracy, ending with a 6-for-21 shooting record. However, he must assert himself on the court, whether it be through defense or ball handling, and use his excellent ability to draw defenders to help stabilize the team's advantage. Additionally, Irving's plus-minus rating wasn't bad. Dinwiddie's main problem in…

The ranking in the Western Conference is crucial for the Clippers, as it directly affects Leonard's return speed and whether they can reach the championship level in the playoffs. Leonard has confirmed his return on January 5th. Currently, the Clippers are ranked fifth in the West, slightly ahead of the Lakers and Nuggets. Despite the absence of their top star Leonard, the Clippers have managed to maintain a top-five record in the West, exceeding expectations. The leadership abilities of Harden and Powell have been quite impressive. With stats of 29+7 and 29+5, Harden has indeed delivered on his promise, giving you a real chance to make the All-Star team. Without Leonard this season, the Clippers' offense and defense have not yet reached their peak. Why have the Clippers been able to achieve a top-five record in the West? According to NBA experts from American media, one of the most important reasons is their collective effort and excellent defense. This season, the Clippers have a defensive efficiency of 108.2, ranking fifth in the league. With Leonard out, every player on the Clippers must give their all on both offense and defense, making the contributions of role players particularly important. Players like Zubac, Coffey, Little Derrick Jones, and Dunn have performed exceptionally well. Officially reported by an NBA journalist from American media, Clippers guard Norman Powell has averaged 28.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 1.8 steals over the last five games, with a shooting percentage of 52.8% and a three-point percentage of 48.5%. Powell has indeed put up sharp numbers and…

NBA regular season featured a focal matchup between the Mavericks and the Suns! With both teams' cores, Doncic and Booker absent, the odds were even, and it was about who could establish their rhythm and which star would perform more aggressively to gain an advantage. In the first half, the Mavericks led the Suns 55-39 with a 16-point lead. Both teams had the same number of three-pointers, seven each, but the difference was mainly in inside scoring, where the Mavericks had a higher shooting percentage and stronger offensive capabilities. In the third quarter, a conflict erupted, resulting in Nurkic being ejected for a 1-for-2 trade, along with Marshall and Washington. The two teams fought fiercely, with the Mavericks maintaining a double-digit lead. Although Durant is formidable, Beal was a liability, and Irving and Dinwiddie's three-pointers extended the lead to 18 points. The Suns did not collapse, and Durant continued to exert himself, as if playing against an entire team by himself. The Mavericks couldn't keep up, and their advantage was gradually eroded, leaving only an 8-point lead at the end of the third quarter. In the final quarter, during Durant's absence, the Suns didn't falter. Although they didn't reduce the gap, they also didn't allow it to widen, holding on tightly. The Mavericks had good offense but average defense, failing to capitalize on Durant's absence, though they did waste four minutes. Upon Durant's return, O'Neal hit a three-pointer, followed by a Grimes answer ball. O'Neal's three-pointer didn't continue, and Gafford had a two-handed slam dunk. Plumlee made free throws, and…

On that day, the NBA regular season was in full swing, with the Golden State Warriors waiting at home to face off against the Houston Rockets. Prior to this game, the Warriors had a record of 12 wins and 8 losses, ranking 5th in the Western Conference. However, they had not been doing well recently, suffering five consecutive losses. Curry's offensive momentum this season has not been strong, averaging only 22.6 points, which is the lowest he has scored in the past 11 seasons. The newly recruited Hield's efficiency from beyond the arc is not as high as it was at the beginning of the season. The Warriors are also short-handed in the frontcourt, and they have the lowest free throw percentage in the league so far, at only 70.3%, which is 14 percentage points lower than the Knicks, who rank first in the league. Given this situation, it will be quite challenging for the Warriors to establish another dynasty and make a run for the championship. On the other side, the Rockets entered the game with a record of 15 wins and 7 losses, ranking second in the Western Conference. The Rockets' performance this season has been quite surprising, as they have transformed from a weak team two years ago into one capable of making the playoffs. Looking at the Rockets' lineup, it is mostly young players without a clear leader. For example, Jalen Green, who averages the most points, has not performed well overall this season, often getting carried away and lacking efficiency. However, the Rockets often have…
