#1 Dallas dominates the boards
The Oklahoma City Thunders are the 2nd best rebounding team in the league. Their giant center Steven Adams is one of the most voracious rebounders of the ball. Yet, in this game, the Thunders were not as effective on boards as they had hoped to be. They grabbed only 39 rebounds, which is 10 less than that of the Mavericks.
For the Mavericks, DeAndre Jordan completely dominated the boards and came up with 17 huge rebounds which certainly played a very crucial part in helping the Mavericks win this game. Even Dallas are a very average rebounding team as they're ranked at 15th league wise.
