OKC Thunder vs Dallas Mavericks | Game Highlights | March 14, 2024

We’ll see how the Mavericks go without Luca donic tonight they have not won a road game without donic this year as Josh giddy strong finish and finally the scoring gets going here with giddy’s tough layup Thunder got to go quick down to four SGA little cross to get rid of

Jones K the floater is good and they come up with points out of that possession 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 was a win against the Golden State Warriors Don was hurt in the fourth

Quarter of that game count that basket by Lou Dort and a foul right at The Rim oh well you get the worst of it when you standing there on big loot dor and exom took a shot here yeah he took a charge too but they didn’t call it that

Way so he said I think we’re close and when you look at the rotations we’re also a way deeper team if Luca’s out we have guys that can play if one person’s out we still have enough pieces to fight any but we’ll just have to see how this

Roster plays out I like Dallas’s defense here Gafford just staying in the lane but City goes right at it no good there’s Chad hren with the rebound and Williams pushing it here Jay dub back in the starting lineup Dan he missed two Tuesday’s game with a right ankle injury

Incredibly young team having this kind of success you rarely see it in the NBA here’s Williams again and Jaylen Williams he’s got a layup now a three-pointer he’s keeping it real Stan spitting over here once again Gil just Alexander little step back on Washington is right with him and Shay Gil just

Alexander Reigns one in that was good defense out ofs set the shot clock is what that was off the leg especially crunch time and in on into the playoffs Isaiah Joe lets Jones fly by and Joe hits a three he runs with this bench crew in the waiting minutes of

This first quarter finds kenri Williams got it that was true a minute and a half to go here it is you see how wide open he is Lively who is nominal started by K 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 that’s a serious catch radius in the NBA they refer to that as vertical spacing I like it exom had it knocked out of his hands by giddy he gets a block from behind officially field goal attempt here tonight so his streak stand

Van Gundy Lauren Jabara with you tonight our producer Jeff Randolph the sponge lonni Dale directing great to have you with us as Wiggins first minutes on the floor into the box score Oklahoma City coming off that loss Tuesday they are one of three teams that

Has not lost three in a row as Williams hits a mid-range jumper and heading into playoff time the Thunder going to have to have an answer for that Gafford going strong denied though by hren Gafford still on the ground exm fouls him Kyrie Irving back on the floor exm will go to

The bench now look calls down here’s Wallace Oklahoma City scrambling here but they get a man wide open he’s played 11 minutes he’s picked up a couple of rebounds his first offensive board and now a steal on Williams Kyrie Irving ooh denied by Williams he’s got that one yeah it’s a great steal

And then great Pursuit and a block and Kyrie Irving just gives a little smile knowing that on that one J and now he is working on Jaylen Williams Kyrie Irving Williams stand right with him good pass Gafford in traffic Gafford no well defended by the Thunder again on the

Move Wiggins with Hardway on him giddy passes it up giddy that’s where he’s at his best now William is on his back tough contested shot once again these shots the Mavericks are getting aren’t easy kiddy drops the shoulder giddy off one foot time out Jason kid

Josh gidd he’s had it going this month and doing it again here on the run and off the glass those three teams very much talking playoffs and top seed different setup here in OKC as L Dort drills a three-point Isaiah Joe now Gord drives got Clea in the air

Joe resets and Joe rips a three-pointer Luca may be out but there’s still two huge stars out here on the floor Bullet Pass to jayen Williams he’s capable he knocks it down he was wide open Alexander got Jones on him again now he fakes that jumper Williams finds

Holgren resets for the three got the feat behind the line ched holgren two steals one turnover and he’s only missed two shots first possession of the half for the Thunder and Lou Dort with an answer how that plays out obviously both teams big right half hren drives had it knocked out of

His hands by gaffard hren recovers and scores a tough bucket inside Washington on Williams Washington and denied by Williams Gafford is fouled four of those are offensive rebounds Kyrie Irving stall the mismatch and gilis Alexander stripped it out of his hands but he’s 0 for three for three

Alen turns the corner now kicks it to gidy who’s wide open again gets his own giddy drives floater good little finger roll from Josh giddy like a ER he lands those punches giddy again look at all this room Josh giddy finally hits one and it plays with your mind a little

Bit Josh gidd is not a real good three-point shooter but he’s not that bad he’s 33% but when you don’t get guarded at all here’s Gaff again gaford with a double double tonight oh Kyrie put it on the on the dime but Gafford wasn’t looking it been the

Shoulder a pass what a finish Josh gidy can do that a playmaker beautiful clearly just falling down and n d Hayward Williams holgren and gilis Alexander and there’s Dort gets the steel gilis Alexander’s got 16 he backs Lively out K just Alexander shot fake contact count

It seven for eight at the line look at this shot fake pivot into the shot and then the focus wiely the rookie he can fly but he came up short gilis Alexander just lost his dribble Jones oh jayen Williams a defensive highlight of the game buers in the

League and Williams is here for it that was an out out standing play to be able to come around behind him and get the ball without Irving pushes leaves it for Hardaway and the Thunder do a good job getting back balls loose into the hands of Williams Dallas turns it over again

Hayward stops pops fifth turnover of the quarter for the Mavericks as exom draws the Wallace to Simon now man he can really move exom falls down Wallace is a menace right now defensively exam’s hurt it’s five on four exom still on the other end of the floor and KAS Wallace

Buries a three no donic and now exom is out Irving loses the handle he got doubled guil just Alexander comes away with it another Dallas turnover and now SGA can’t get Washington in the air inside kendri Williams one wide open you know when you think of young teams you

Think oh they turn the ball over a lot not this team you think they don’t play any defense not this time as we see right there just Alexander shakes Washington and there’s Hardy with a rebound and now Wallace lets it Fly didn’t get it off in

Time on the way he’s playing tonight he obviously doesn’t intend to give up that starting spot nice finish Jaylen Williams all the playmaking that he’s doing and scoring he’s doing he is being left wide open for three another one wide open and he buries one PJ Washington’s now made his

First shot of the night he’s missed eight in a row he’s 0 for 53 Jaylen Williams finds himself some room and around and down it goes Dante exm exm trying to turn the corner and holer with steel another Dallas turnover excellent Oklahoma City defense holgren

Left open and he reigns one in pick Jet by eight off of another Dallas turnover hren converts Washington’s 0 for six from three here’s SGA Williams gives it to Williams Joe to Dort everybody gets a touch and Thunder basketball showing up here in the fourth as anybody they play great defense look

At this ball movement they’re totally unselfish and they’re as poised as any eight-point game Thunder with the lead in the ball four and a half to go Washington picks up guildas Alexander goes right by him the floater is good guildas Alexander trying to deliver a finisher right here gives it up Williams for

Three there’s Wallace with the offensive rebound Williams and an exclamation point huge offensive rebound by K Wallace great poys the cut and the Finish OKC by nine a coach of the year candidate and Mark dagnal and they got it going here in Oklahoma City once again this will take us to the Finish

Line the Thunder now up 2-1 in this season

  1. Huge win and back to the 1st place.. Don't wake me up we live in a dream.1st place in the West with some games remaining.Who would thought?..Wow!

  2. Is anyone keeping count how often giddey scores the opener for the thunder … seems like a lot.

  3. Important win tonight against Dallas and back in first place .. It fun to see J-Dub vs Kyrie tonight as both guys went at it on the court of both sides… Giddey has been really aggressive looking for his offense in the beginning of the last 5 games and that is what we need to take pressure off both SGA and J-Dub!!! Know we need Chet to start commanding the ball against little guards who are trying to defend him… Let's keep the 0-0 mentality and now to the next game… #ThunderUp
