Thunder journal: Patterson has impact in OKC's loss

DALLAS — Patrick Patterson's had a rough month. With a day left, he did his best to erase his 2018 slump in the Thunder's 105-103 loss to Dallas.

Patterson came down from his emphatic dunk holding up a hand up for five dunks after a beautiful sequence. Nerlens Noel started it with a block, followed by Russell Westbrook laying out into the first row to save the ball.

Noel passed ahead quickly to Hamidou Diallo, who tossed the alley-oop pass to Patterson. Westbrook screamed loudly as the Mavs took a timeout after the Thunder's 17-4 run to start the fourth quarter pushed it back into the game.
