The Dallas Mavericks lost 126-120 to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday night. The Thunder dominated Dallas for most of the game but most of the Mavericks went on a 30-0 run to take a lead late. Unfortunately, they had used up too much gas in the comeback to be able to hold of the Thunder and maintain the lead.
Dereck Lively began the game dominating in the paint on both ends while the Thunder sputtered early. The Thunder eventually made shots and got to the rim once Lively went to the bench resulting in them still finishing the quarter with a lead.
