Season Four kicks off dramatically with a 4-0 start and the most impressive and memorable buzzer beating three-pointer in Thunder history. However, we’re not ready to write the lockout into...
Kevin Durant led the Oklahoma City Thunder to a 104-102 win over the Dallas Mavericks, capping it off with a wild game-winner.
The Mavs are getting closer to Form. Good thing Preseason is over in 2 weeks. Wait, what?
"All I remember coming to the bench was Reggie Jackson screaming I was going to make the last shot. I just tried to be confident and tell myself I can make it and luckily I did." -Kevin Durant
As I said, we would be seeing a LOT of the Mavericks this season. After two pre-season encounters, the Thunder are facing the Mavs just a week later in the regular season. As if the Conference Finals playoff series wasn't enough of them already.
The Dallas Mavericks are looking to avoid an 0-3 start to the season on Thursday night as they visit Kevin Durant and the Oklahoma City in the first of two games being televised on TNT.
Too early to get crazy, but still. "It's terrible, it's terrible" how the Mavs play.
