He was also able to get nine rebounds on the floor in 22 minutes and added two assists in the contest.

He saw his team’s defense as a victory.

“Defense, that’s what moved us,” Eighton said. “We were running when we stopped and closed our property. And today we felt a lot on the offensive board. Our guards went in there and some I was getting a tap-out. Bismack Biyombo got some, and all of them produced so much energy and momentum play. “

When Sands released a defensive masterpiece in the second half, it was the story of two and a half of this match. They suppressed the Mavericks to 31 to 11 shots from the field. That’s 35.5 percent. The Mavericks made only two of the 16 attempts from the depths, half of which turned the ball more than 14 times. In the last two periods, the Mavericks combined with just 34 points after scoring 46 points in the first two quarters. Sands beat them 61-34 in the second half.

On the offensive side, Sands fired a fierce 51.1% shot from the field in the second half. They finished with eight 3-point shots, eight steals and 16 assists in 23 field goal attempts.

The first lead in the Sands game was 3-2, but after the Mavericks went ahead, the Sands didn’t lead again until they reached 44-42 in the second half of the second quarter. The Mavericks took the lead again, and Cam Johnson shot from Deep with less than two minutes remaining in the second quarter, giving Sands a 47-45 lead. They never dragged.

The Bahamas came back to life in the second half, with him and guard Devin Booker scoring 12 points each in half. Eighton played a major role in Sands’ domination and missed only one of the seven field goal attempts in the second half. He scored 8 points in the third, which was part of Sands’ dominant 33-14 third quarter edge. Sands started the third quarter with a score of 19-4 and rose to 68-50. During that run, Ayton and Booker scored 17 of the 19 points.

In the Game Five, the Mavericks shot 8 to 32 from Deep. This is far from the 20:44 performance from Game Four’s Deep.

In this Western Conference semi-final series, Eighton averages 16.8 points and 8.4 rebounds per contest.
