The Oklahoma City Thunder (22-13) fell on Sunday night in Dallas, as Luka Doncic dropped 25 points and seven assists to lead the Mavericks (17-18) to a 105-103 victory. Paul George led the way for OKC with 36 points and five rebounds — but Russell Westbrook struggled mightily en route to nine points on a 4-of-22 shooting effort.
George scored the Thunder’s final 13 points and pushed OKC to a 101-96 lead with a three-pointer at the 1:59 mark of the fourth quarter. However, Dallas finished on a 9-2 run from that point forward and escaped with the victory when Westbrook’s potential game-winner from the corner failed to drop.
