After Dark: Processing a baffling, inexcusable loss to the Thunder

The Dallas Mavericks fell at home on Saturday night to the Oklahoma City Thunder in overtime, 117-111. The loss kicked off a five game homestand in embarassing fashion as the Mavericks held a 16 point lead with six minutes to go and failed to put the Thunder away.

Josh Bowe and I try to make sense of the loss, which is perhaps the worst suffered in the Luka Doncic era. With Josh Green leading a fantastic effort to close out the Thunder to start the fourth quarter, coach Jason Kidd stuck to his mechanical line ups for Luka Doncic but left Christian Wood in for an extremely long period of time.
