Dallas Mavericks vs OKC Thunder game summary

Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals between the Dallas Mavericks and OKC Thunder was close in the first quarter. The Thunder started to pull away late in the second quarter before the Mavs tried to keep the game within striking distance in the third period.

However, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the rest of the Thunder were too much in the end. Oklahoma City is now up 1-0 in the series, with Game 2 still at the Paycom Center on Thursday. It will begin at 9:30 p.m. EST.

Dallas will have to make some adjustments, while Luka Doncic just needs to find his rhythm. His shooting has been off since the first round, but it can be attributed to an aching knee caused by a sprain.
