The Oklahoma City Thunder dominated the Dallas Mavericks 118-104, advancing to the NBA Cup semifinals. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the charge with an impressive 39 points, eight rebounds, five assists, and three steals.
The Thunder’s offense was on fire, shooting 45.5% from the field and 40% from three-point range. They also outrebounded the Mavericks 52-44 and out-assisted them 29-25.
Luka Doncic had a disappointing night, scoring just 16 points on 5-15 shooting. The Mavericks’ bench, however, provided a spark, with Naji Marshall and Klay Thompson each scoring 19 points.
