The OKC Thunder played the Dallas Mavericks for the second time in the preseason and the results couldn’t have been more polar opposite. After easily winning the first game 119-104 with Steven Adams and Chris Paul playing, with both of them sitting tonight it was a far different story.
The Mavericks, who sat both Kristaps Porzingis and Luka Doncic in the first game, had their full lineup in the second game. The difference was there for all to see. The Mavericks controlled the opening tip and never relinquished that lead winning 107-70.
