GAME 52: OKC (16-34) @ DAL (29-23): 120-114 loss

[RedFlag41]

I think defense was not that consistent but in stretches it was good enough. They just did not expect OKC to hit that many threes.

I think defense qas not the biggest issue this game, they were able to hold OKC to 103 in regulation.

I think the bigger issue was offense. Too many missed threes. The offense looked janky and unsure at times. I think the Mavs felt the absence of KP and THJ in this game.

Also, OKC came prepared. They have Dort defending Luka very well and their defense was well planned against what the Mavs are doing offensively. They defended Luka's post up very well which is what the Mavs are doing more lately.
