Dallas is locked in defensively, turnover leads to a dunk by Daniel Gafford and an OKC timeout. Mavs in full control 44-33, 5:12 until halftime.

This Thunder Mavs series is becoming the exact opposite of what I thought it would be… boring. Mavs winning in 5

Pretty remarkable that OKC facilitated the acquisition of Lively and Gafford, the 2 guys who are absolutely killing them in this series.

Okc fans really had hope in Lu Dort 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Set aside the fact that Josh Giddey shouldn’t play another minute this series — Dallas is hitting shots and OKC isn’t. When will that change?

Chet Holmgren becomes the ninth rookie since 1981–82 – as far as the complete data for games started goes back – to start 90+ games, and just the third to reach that mark without missing a start h/t @stathead #ThunderUp

Biggest game of the season and the Thunder are still running a 10-man rotation. If Dallas wins this series, a big reason why will be Mark Daigneault treating it like the regular season.

It seems like a good sign that Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic are a combined 3-for-12 from the field and the Mavericks are up 40-33 with 6:35 left in the half. Mavs' best asset so far is their defense. OKC shooting 34 percent.

OKC in the bonus this early without Shai getting any run means the GRIFTING IS COMING

OKC won the non-Shai minutes, now has SGA checking in with 7:09 in the 2nd, down 40-33.

The all-new Thunder Airball Arena does have a nice ring to it

Yes, of course, the Mavs are shooting nearly 50%, the Thunder are in the teens from deep, and Josh Giddey has the only make. Totally normal. (OKC miraculously down just a few, kinda admire Giddey's fearlessness and willingness to keep going on offense) pic.twitter.com/XAzw…

OKC has cut it to five, with 8:44 on the clock, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander should be coming in soon with his typical rotation pattern.

Thunder hanging close in these minutes without Shai on the floor. Within 7 and Dort headed to the free throw line.
