A big win in the play-offs! Sitting on the strongest inside line in the league, the Thunder should be careful, it is really possible to stage the Black Eight

The NBA play-offs continued, and today the league played two more play-off matchups, namely the Eastern Bulls vs. Heat, and the Western Mavericks vs. Kings. The Eastern Conference Heat defeated the Bulls 109-90 and will battle the Magic for the eighth spot in the East. The Mavericks also beat the Kings 120-106 on the road, and they will face the Grizzlies for the eighth spot in the West.

In today's game, we highlight the game between the Mavericks and the Kings. The Mavericks were able to win this game thanks to Thompson's single-quarter explosion in the second quarter, Thompson scored 16 points in the second quarter and 23 points in the game. It was his individual performance of 16 points in a single quarter that allowed the Mavericks to pull the score away at that stage. The Mavericks' three-point shooting was excellent today, shooting 50 percent from the field and hitting 14 three-pointers as a team. And their defensive ability on the inside was the main reason for winning this game.

It can be said that the Mavericks have the strongest interior in the league, they have Davis, Lively and Gafford on the inside, and the defense on the interior can be described as overshadowing, and the Kings simply can't break under the basket to score. And on the inside, their finishing ability is also very strong, and Davis also cut down 27 points and 9 rebounds today. Today's game is a game where the Mavericks blossom inside and out, so the Kings simply can't parry. In fact, after half-time, the situation between the two sides was completely clear.

According to the current offensive momentum and state of the Mavericks, it may be that the Grizzlies will not have much chance of winning against the Mavericks, and Morant has also suffered an ankle injury, which will inevitably affect the Grizzlies' immediate combat power, and it may be difficult for the Grizzlies to overcome the Mavericks. So if the Mavericks advance to the playoffs and challenge the Thunder, who are the No. 1 team in the West, in eighth place in the West, do they have any hope of completing the Black Eight? Many fans think that the Mavericks are very promising to complete the Black Eight.

Because the Mavericks' interior line is obviously stronger than the Thunder. Hatten clearly doesn't have the edge against Davis. On the outside, Thompson has a very good resume playing against the Thunder, and he is definitely completely different in terms of self-confidence. If Thompson breaks out in the first-round series, the Mavericks have a good chance of winning. So although the Thunder team is the first in the West, they still have to be very careful, and the current Mavericks team is still not to be underestimated, after all, their interior strength is too strong.
