Early Sunday night at Paycom Center, the very young Oklahoma City Thunder were still hanging within striking distance of the Dallas Mavericks. That’s when Jalen Brunson took matters into his own hands and decided to do something about the situation.
Brunson proceeded to go on a personal 10-0 run and the Mavs proceeded to build a 10-point lead on their way to securing a 103-84 triumph over the Thunder. The scoring spree by Brunson, along with a dominating performance from Maxi Kleber, Moses Brown and the remainder of the Mavs’ bench, helped Dallas increase its won-loss record to 13-13 heading into Monday’s home game against the Charlotte Hornets.
