After battling back from a 11-point deficit in the fourth quarter, the OKC Thunder lost a tight one to the Dallas Mavericks 105-103 in Texas. While losing a close game is obviously disappointing, Oklahoma City will be ruing its execution down the stretch, blowing a six point lead with less than two minutes to go thanks to lazy play and careless errors.
Paul George was sensational scoring the ball, posting 36 points on 12-24 shooting, 3-11 from three and 8-11 from the line but made five crucial mistakes coming down the stretch.
