Between Luka Doncic's bleeding knee and OKC choosing the Hack-A-Lively strategy, this game offered a little bit of everything
The Dallas Mavericks took a 2-1 series lead with a 105-101 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 3, fueled by another big performance by PJ Washington. This game was far from easy, seeing a total of 38 fouls, 44 free throw attempts, 26 turnovers, 13 blocked shots, and 21 offensive rebounds.
This is the largest deficit the Mavs had faced since the end of Game 1, a 22-point loss, and they needed to respond in a big following this OKC run if they wanted to turn the game around.The Thunder need to rethink leaving PJ Washington open.
Superstars will always step up and make big plays when they matter most. For as much flack as Luka Doncic gets about his defense, he has good instincts on that side of the ball. Irving would finish with 22 points, 8 of which came in the fourth quarter. He's such a steadying presence for this team as Doncic deals with injuries.
