Another close loss for the Thunder
The picture says it all.
In what seemed to be deja vu in the final minute of tonight’s Oklahoma City Thunder / Dallas Mavericks game, the Thunder lose as time expires, by one point.
Oklahoma City had the lead from the start and did not relinquish it until late in the third quarter. The final 12 was a back and forth battle, but the boys in blue could not manage to get crucial stops in the stretch.
Dirk Nowitzki gave Dallas a two point lead with 48.9 seconds to play and there was no looking back. After a half-court desperation-type attempt was lofted up by Russell Westbrook, the buzzer sounded and the Thunder came crashing down at the hands of the Mavs.
Oklahoma City lost to another Texas team, the San Antonio Spurs, by one point in overtime just two nights ago, falling 109-108. The Thunder are now 21-18 as they look to regroup at home in the Ford Center in a Saturday matchup against the Miami Heat.
