OKLAHOMA CITY – The Mavericks picked a dreadful time to throw out one of their worst performances of the season.
With a trip to Las Vegas for the semifinals on the line, the Mavericks could not have been flatter in a disastrous third quarter and went on to lose 118-104 to the Oklahoma City Thunder in the 2024 NBA Cup Nights quarterfinals at Paycom Center.
Luka Donu010diu0107 struggled mightily against the OKC defense that is ranked No. 1 in the NBA in pretty much every notable defensie category. The Thunder made life miserable for Donu010diu0107, who had just two points until he got things percolating late in the third quarter.
