It's not a complete revenge for their elimination from last year's NBA playoffs elimination, but the Oklahoma City Thunder got the better of the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday.
The Thunder advanced to the semifinals of the NBA Cup by stifling the Dallas Mavericks in a 118-104 home win. They will face the winner of the Wednesday's quarterfinal between the Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets.
The win started and ended as a mostly miserable day at the gym for Mavericks star Luka Donu010diu0107, which has become a recurring story for the Thunder, owners of the league's top defensive rating.
