Dallas Mavericks vs Oklahoma City Thunder Full Highlights 3rd QTR | Mar 14 | 2024 NBA Regular Season
Has been steady Improvement they were a Factor last year and they are a real Contender this season Dallas will have the opening possession Dante exam who was in the starting lineup for Luca donic tonight and he finds Kyrie Irving and a three-pointer is down and the Mavericks grab the lead right away Kyrie
Irving 23 points eight assists 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 you heard the Oklahoma City story let’s hear about the Mavericks from Lauren Jabar what’ you learn Lauren thanks ba I talked to M’s assistant
Coach Jared Dudley he said OKC did a really good job the first half of going small putting four wings out there spreading the floor and knocking down three so our adjustment going smaller defensively to match up he that SGA is a really good guy at spreading out the
Floor they’ve been setting really good ball screens need to offset that also he said we’re a big team we have to rebound like we’re a big team and focus on turnovers we’re a disciplined team we have too many turnovers in this game all right good stuff there Lauren thank you
As Washington misses misses how about that strategy coach your thoughts well look it’s tough to guard and I think they want to be able to switch all the pick and rolls it’ll be interesting to see how that plays out obviously both teams big hren thrives had it knocked out of
His hands by gaffard hren recovers and scores a tough bucket inside Jet’s had a slow night tonight just six points that’s just a second made basket he does have six rebounds but he has been bottled up inside Washington on Williams Washington and denied by Williams hey K you said it earlier
Trying to get in that top six and not have to go through the play in Oklahoma City trying to move up as much as they can to get as high a seed as they can and home court in the Playoffs Lor got Gafford in the air missed it though and Gafford clears away his ninth rebound four of those are offensive rebounds Kyrie Irving saw the mismatch and gilis Alexander stripped it out of his hands Gafford turns it over Gil Alexander now probing looking for help Shel Around
The Horn giddy in the corner missed it badly they are not going to guard Josh giddy on the perimeter no effort to close on the corner Oklahoma City is going to see a lot of this defense against them now giddy’s done a good job tonight he’s got 10 points but he’s 0
For three for three Alam turns the corner now kicks it to Giddy who’s wide open again gets his own gidy drives floater good little finger roll from Josh Giddy and Gafford is down and he’s going to give it a go here Mark dagal really upset there at the time out that
Giddy didn’t get the foul call on the drive and he was right he certainly should have exm misses the little floater in the lane the other thing that replay showed us is how much space the Maverick are giving giddy wow gaford disrupted that one Homen was going up top for like
A like a boxer he lands those punches giddy again look at all this room Josh giddy finally hits one oh my goodness he needed that one badly well there are open shots there are wide open shots and there are warm-up shots nobody in the building shots Dante exm cannot
Answer and it plays with your mind a little bit Josh giddy 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 it just starts to play with your mind a little bit Gil just Alexander keeps this run going it’s a
Drought here for the Mavericks is Gafford throws it down Daniel Gafford flying high for the dunk seven-point Oklahoma City lead they had pushed it to their biggest lead at nine and now Williams missed it here’s Gafford again Gafford with a double double tonight oh Kyrie put it on the on the DI
But gaffer wasn’t looking hit him in the shoulder a pass what a finish Josh gidy can do that a playmaker gidy Vision they call it and he finds hom Gren on the back door cut kid’s played well tonight he’s just struggled from three until that last PJ Washington missed it let’s
Get into do a little bit because if if giddy if they’re not going to guard giddy that has an effect on Dag’s decision about who finishes the game roster was yeah it does and there’s been a lot of games where he has not finished with Josh Kitty and that’s a big reason
Why ex some driving on Williams cut off gy was right there and that’ll be a foul sometimes when you roll an ankle sitting down is the worst thing that can happen for you Kyrie Irving is fouled by dord Hayward Williams holgren and gilis Alexander and there’s Dort gets the
Steel Thunder leaded by nine can push it into double digits here Alexander’s got 16 he backs Lively out K just Alexander shot fake contact count it that’s what MVPs look like just so efficient tonight too five for six from the particularly after he gives up his dribble can finish a three-point play
It’s 11 turnovers for Dallas and the Thunder have turned that into 20 points Mavericks have four turnovers this quarter Lively good catch there cannot finish the dunk though Lively the rookie he can fly but he came up short gilis Alexander just lost his dribble Jones without fouling
Great block by J Williams third block for Williams in this game under half five and that one rattles home big three by Hardaway that’s his third one tonight that’s great for him and the Mavericks needed it badly as they’re fighting to try to stay in this game Williams HKS
Gets his own no it’s into the hands of Washington Mavericks trying to get themselves on a run here after they were down 11 and that’s going to be a foul broadcasting is done to your life perspective [Applause] so the Mavericks chipping away here Kyrie’s got 25 he’s made all eight of his free Throws K Wallace looking for hrid that was broken up by Hardaway though Irving pushes leaves it for Hardaway and the Thunder do a good job getting [Applause] back Ball’s loose into the hands of Williams Dallas turn it over again Hayward stops pops fifth turnover of the quarter for the Mavericks well in
Oklahoma City the best in the league turning turnovers into points at the other end Kyrie Irving kicks it Jones passed it up Jones had it Stripped by Wallace and now Clea gets a deflection said he didn’t have contact said the ball was loose hadn’t controlled it yet so no back court
Violation there Lively Tak it on holen there’s a matchup of rookies and Derek Lively scores it dagnal
