Los Mavericks They fell on the court of the Thunder (126-119) in a match of the highest demand in which they competed almost until the end, but in which They missed, no wonder, their star Luka Doncic. The Slovenian suffered a hamstring injury of his left leg in the match against the Warriors that prevented him from playing the last quarter and was low in oklahomawhere the Mavs They accused his absence.
Without the ex-Madridista it was Kyrie Irving who put his team on his back signing a formidable match with 36 points (12/18 tc, 4/7 t3 y 8/8 tl), 4 rebounds and 12 assists in 38 minutes. The point guard seemed unstoppable, but his production was insufficient against some Thunder very powerful, second to the West (45-20) that harass the Nuggets (46-20) for leadership in the West.
Irving had the collaboration of Tim Hardaway (23+9+3) and Daniel Gafford, author of 19 points (8/11), and 15 rebounds. The latter, which He had made his last 33 field goals without a miss (33/33)missed a shot 32 seconds into the game that prevented him from assault the record held by the legendary Wilt Chamberlain, who signed a 35/35 55 years ago. Gafford was on the verge of making history.
Shai’s twelfth game with 31 points this season
In the Thunder the best one more night was Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, author of 31 points (9/16 tc and 12/15 tl), 9 rebounds and 5 assists. He paradoxically is the twelfth game of the season that scores exactly 31 points, more than anyone with that score in the same campaign in NBA history. Together with Shai they stood out on the Oklahoma team Jalen Williams (27+4+5) y Josh Giddey (18+3+5).
