Preview 36 of 82: Mavericks @ Thunder
Time: 7:00 PM CST
TV: Fox Sports Oklahoma
Game Notes: Thunder / Mavs
The Oklahoma City Thunder (22-13) are back in action after last night’s loss in Dallas, as they’ll close out 2018 with a New Year’s Eve rematch with the Mavericks (17-18) at Chesapeake Energy Arena.
The Mavericks defeated OKC 105-103 last night behind 25 points and seven assists from rookie Luka Doncic. Paul George scored a game-high 36 points and put the Thunder in the lead before the team melted down in the final minutes. Russell Westbrook was extremely inefficient, scoring nine points on 4-of-22 shooting — an outing he’ll try to rectify in tonight’s rematch.
