Clippers beat Mavericks 133-127 in double overtime. Player evaluations: 3 players scored full marks, 2 players passed, and 5 players collapsed.

NBA Cup, the Clippers narrowly defeated the Mavericks 133-127 in double overtime. This game was originally leading in the final quarter, but unfortunately the Clippers had offensive and defensive problems and were dragged into overtime. Fortunately, they were able to secure the victory.

The performance of all three players was perfect. Harden had 41 points, 14 rebounds, 11 assists and 2 blocks in 51 minutes. He was completely exhausted. And in both overtimes, Harden maintained perfect output on the offensive end. Especially in the second overtime, scoring consecutive points to widen the point difference was the only way to establish an advantage. It was not easy for him. Zubac performed very well, scoring 27 points and 10 rebounds on 11 of 15 shots. His efficiency has indeed returned in this game, and this is what everyone is familiar with. It would be better if Zubac handles the ball more reasonably in the future.

Bogdan's recovery is also a happy point. 8 of 14 shots, 5 of 8 three-pointers, 21 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 steals, maintaining perfect offensive and defensive output. In fact, Bogdan got better in the last game, and his good form continued this time. It's just that the ball ownership was a bit low at the beginning of the final quarter. Even so, if you can hold the ball and score, the Clippers are very satisfied.

Jones and Batum both performed passably. Jones' defense was full of intensity in this game, and he was able to score consecutive free throws in the second overtime to help the team maintain its advantage. However, the three-pointer was too strong, and his performance was considered satisfactory. Batum's performance at the last moment was pretty good. He was really working on the offensive end. He relied on strong defense to complete the redemption at the last moment, which was also a mixed performance.

Dunn, Collins, Santos, Miller, and Lopez all showed signs of collapse. Dunn was completely lost this time. The offensive end was completely empty and had no value. Collins still didn't feel good after starting the starting lineup. He struggled on the offensive end, made many mistakes, and was out of tune with the starting players. Sampson and Miller are both keeping up, but these two ups and downs are still too big. After Lopez's improvement on the offensive end, there are completely loopholes on the defensive end. He is now like a nerve knife. Once he fails to make a shot, he should be discarded. This game has a plus-minus value of -13.
