Dallas Mavericks vs. Oklahoma City Thunder 1st Qtr Full Highlights | Mar. 14 | NBA 2024 Highlights
And now Dante exen into that starting lineup he’ll drive it and the little floater no Gafford is there for the offensive board he can’t finish it and that’s his first Miss in 34 attempts he falls too short of will Chamberlin’s Rec he was on an incredible run of
Consecutive made field goals and it ends with the very first possession here’s Lou dor Gafford with the rebound we’ll see how the Mavericks go without Luca donic tonight they have not won a road game without Don this year as Josh giddy strong finish and finally the scoring gets going here with giddy’s
Tough layup well Oklahoma City leads the league in points off of turnovers and they take advantage right there Mavericks are 38 and 28 they jumped into that seven spot with the Suns loss in Boston tonight and now a half game behind Sacramento they’ve got a a favorable
Schedule although they do have a West Coast trip coming but Dallas believes they can jump into the top six they can avoid that play in tournament going to be imperative to get LCA donic back as soon as they to the point where he’s an All-Star starter and a legitimate MVP
Candidate sure is and you see Oklahoma City go in zone right here one two2 zone Jones spins and lays it in Nifty move by Jones who’s been back in that starting lineup Jason kid has been tinkering with his lineup quite a bit we’ll have to do so again tonight without donic this Mavericks
Team doing a much better job on the defensive end since Gafford and washley didn’t so there’s nine to shoot here thund got to go quick down to four SGA little cross to get rid of Jones gidy the floater is good and they come up with points out of that possession I I like
Giddy’s cut there Gafford back in the paint no one guarding Josh kid Kyrie Irving buries a three it’s hard to be in drop coverage against uh Kyrie Irving Kyrie Irving figures to have a big night tonight there’s giddy once again giddy’s been steady this year minutes
Down but he continues to be a big part of this very successful and young Oklahoma City Thunder team and he’s been on a roll last 10 games averaging 14 points shooting 55% from the floor and 41% from three Gafford with a block about Dallas against Golden State last
Night had 13 block shots Gafford had seven of those 13 block shots that was a win against the Golden State Warriors donic was hurt in the fourth quarter of that game count that basket by Lou Dort and a foul well we see Oklahoma City just on the attack everything going right at The
Rim oh well you get the worst of it when you standing there on big loot D and exam took a shot here yeah he took a charge too but they didn’t call it that way so BL Dort will be at the free throw line Oklahoma City also the best free
Throw shooting team in the league not a lot of weaknesses here with Oklahoma City as they fall back into that zone again they are not a good rebounding team and that’s about the only weak they one similarity between these two teams they don’t turn it over much Mavericks
Are third best in fewest turnovers it’s under our fifth as PJ Washington able to score one of the actors positions coming to the Mavericks they changed their roster Finley a lot of credit they’re still going at it remember they had christops porzingis and they were sure he was the guy to
Having the roster that they need he told me it started with adding Kyrie the second dub back in the starting lineup s he missed Tuesday’s game with a right ankle injury and for Oklahoma City fans they’re glad to have him back quickly here on Thursday yeah look Oklahoma
City’s had Remarkable Health it’s one of the reasons they’ve had the season they have these five starters have missed a total of 11 games between them Derek Jones Jr with a three-pointer the uh correlation between Remarkable Health is a direct tie to remarkable youth of this Oklahoma City
Team an incredibly young team having this kind of success you rarely see it in the NBA here’s Williams again and Taylor Williams he’s got a layup now a three-pointer making an impact quickly here in this first quarter Thunder leaded by three Irving slips one to GA o Gafford hammers one down with Chad
Holgren on his back that’s not rare to see that’s his Washington was kind of in and out of the starting lineup with Charlotte Gafford was always a starter in Washington big trade deadline deal Kyrie misses Here Comes Williams once again Williams turns it over run down
From behind this just part of the new and improved Maverick’s defense it felt like just a little bit improved would you agree the Kia’s like electric like you’ve never seen or well I think it’s great these companies all going electric I mean you know need to
Get more no I don’t have any rebuttal we just need more charging stations he’s keeping it real St spitting over here once again gilis Alexander little step back on Washington is right with him and Shay gilis Alexander Reigns one in that was good defense yeah it was great defense and he
Only shoots three and a half threes a game but he’s at 38% G Al steals in deflections gild Alexander number one the rookie Dereck Lively on the floor for the first time wow Kyrie able to split that and now in rotation he finds the open man Washington missed it gilis Alexander out
Of the pack being chased down though and green knocks itward his first minutes he got a start Tuesday isah Joel care of the ball both in the top five and they each have four turnovers here in the first quarter now Oklahoma City normally forces the most turnovers in the league
But palas doesn’t Force any Oklahoma City’s got to do a better job and green lays it in so that’s nine points off those turn s for the Mavericks off those four Oklahoma City turnovers thed by one guilis Alexander guarded by Green finds Joe and that high arcing three-pointer missed it Henri
Williams flying high but he tips it right to Maxi Clea and now green an extreme roll of that ankle Lauren Jabara stationed nearby and when she has the report we will pass that along to you be tough for him to return on this one you would think difficult guy to
Stop Kyrie Irving off to a great start nine first quarter points here four ties and five lead changes already Mavericks playing hard minus Luca donic and a two-point lead of shake Hil just Alexander he is tough in the mid-range and he ties it at 23 with that jumper
Well we told you there’s going to be some great point guard play here tonight these two guys are two of the best in this league kard Williams picks up Irving and now Hardaway his first minutes he rises up and hits well he’ll welcome that one he’s really been struggling offensively shooting only 29%
From the floor over the last six games that covers the month of March for Tim Hardway was interesting listening to Jason kid you know trying to maybe cut his minutes a little bit give him a little bit of a breather actually thought about maybe giving him a day off
He said he didn’t want that he wants to try to shoot his way through this but Jason kid finished that conversation by saying we need Tim Hardaway especially crunch time and in in on into the playoffs isah Joe lets Jones fly by and Joe hits a three well Joe’s a 40% three-point
Shooter who has shot 25% over the last six games so he’s been struggling too and he’s awfully glad to see one go down yeah Joe and Hardaway similar stories for both coaches and they’re happy to see those players hit early buckets in this one Hardaway he’s going to fire
Again shoot yourself out of the slump and show great confidence is one thing but you’ve got to shoot good shots especially when you’re struggling Cas Wallace on the floor for Oklahoma City Joe from the top misses and another chance here Williams kept it alive here’s guilis Alexander he runs with this bench crew
In the waiting minutes of this first quarter finds kenri Williams got it that was true pure stroke from kenri Williams set up by SGA yeah he’s another one he doesn’t shoot many of them but he’s at 39% and they he’s the guy they’re not guarding right now their centers are
Just roaming and helping gild just Alexander with his third assist Lively Cuts he touched it last Mavericks beat the Thunder February 10th by 35 points that was gaffer’s first game been a different story to start this one Dallas hanging in there without Luca now Williams again and Hardaway
Flying high for the rebound coming to the end of the first quarter approaching the one minute Mark season series tied at one with two to play this one tonight and the last one here in Oklahoma City April 14th that could mean a lot for both teams Lively runs it
Fouls exom guarded by kase Wallace an excellent Defender exm lost the handle couldn’t finish it and now here come the Thunder Wallace Shifty the cutter Joe got it came down the Baseline and Isaiah Joe stretches this Oklahoma City lead at six getting out in transition and an excellent play by Cas Wallace another
Outstanding gon Hayward picks up exom now exom to clear it out for him behind he stops an 80 Oklahoma City run shot clock is off Jones picks up gilis Alexander chance at the last shot for the Thunder and turn to the game all right thank you for that tough break for
The Mavericks as well exim got it off in time missed it and that’ll take his
