PJ Washington scored a playoff career-high 29 points as the series turns to Dallas tied at 1 apiece
The Dallas Mavericks picked up a huge Game 2 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder, winning 119-110, tying the series at 1 apiece. In a game where Luka Doncic, Derrick Jones Jr., and Daniel Gafford were all playing through injuries, they got enough help from the people around them to lift them over the Thunder.
As Washington stated in a postgame interview with ESPN, Doncic and Irving have so much attention on them that it leads to wide-open shots for everyone else. And good players make those open shots. Games like this are why Dallas made the trade for Washington at the trade deadline.Oklahoma City responded early in the second half, taking a 75-72 lead, their first lead of the game, just over 3 minutes into the half.
Tim Hardaway Jr. makes a great hustle play to come away with the loose ball, fakes the pass up to Doncic to get Lu Dort running away, and knocks down the WIDE open shot from the corner to push the lead back to 11 with over two minutes remaining to give him 17 points. Kyrie Irving will be better, it's hard to imagine him having another 9-point outing , but it's also hard to imagine PJ Washington continuing to shoot like he did in this game. As scoring and shooting revert to the norm, the superstars are the ones that shine brightest usually.
