Despite a tough game by Russell Westbrook, the OKC Thunder were in prime position to walk out with the W against the Dallas Mavericks. Up six with less than two minutes remaining, Dallas went on a 10-2 run to effectively overrun OKC and steal the 105-103 victory.
While it’s disappointing to lose, its how they lost that hurts.
Oklahoma City inexplicably turned the ball over twice in crunch time and gave away eight free throws down the stretch to throw the game away. Paul George turned the ball over after bouncing the ball off DeAndre Jordan‘s foot then proceeded to foul on three consecutive Dallas possessions.
