Prediction: Tonight is the night Lou Dork gets a technical foul for flopping.

[The Jom]

The emasculation of Josh Giddey continues.

[MarkAguirreWrathofGod]

We look good. On point.

[The Jom]

That was sensational defense from Luka!

[MarkAguirreWrathofGod]

Missed a golden opportunity to break it open. Lively got hurt in that terrible pass from PJ.

[The Jom]

Rebounds 12 to 4

[The Jom]

End of Q1: Luka/Kyrie 2 of 9 from the field, rest of Mavs 9 of 12, Thunder 8 of 22.

Rebounds: Mavs 13, Thunder 5.

Good start¡

[rocky164]

Good start! Need to clean up the turnovers.

[MarkAguirreWrathofGod]

Our defense is outstanding. Exum, finally! Huge if he helps on offense.

[dirkfansince1998]

OKC in the bonus with seven minutes left in the 2nd quarter. Meanwhile the Mavs cannot buy a call. Amazing how that works.

[Chicagojk]

Great defensive effort. Don’t really like the feel for the game though

[The Jom]

The refs gave us calls first half of Q1. Thunder getting ALL calls first half of Q2. Probably in the script. Will flip again.

[MarkAguirreWrathofGod]

Josh rushed that 3.

[MarkAguirreWrathofGod]

They are doing a better job collapsing on PJ drives. He needs to look to kick occasionally.

OKC in the bonus with seven minutes left in the 2nd quarter. Meanwhile the Mavs cannot buy a call. Amazing how that works.

The league wants a long series, and to extend their "Luka sux and SGA is De Lawd" narrative.

[The Jom]

I dunno. This looks to me like the kind of game where the home team gets plenty of calls. And I’m not sure it matters. We seem to have the cheat code.

[SwisherPrice]

Love seeing this PG version of Kyrie. Luka is still not right on offense but he is playing good defense. Just needs to limit the turnovers

[The Jom]

At the half, free throws: Mavs 4, Thunder 13

Blocks: Mavs 9 (Lively 4, Jones 3, Gafford 2), Thunder 3 (Holmgren)

3PAs: Mavs 9/21, Thunder 1/11
