Podcast: Dallas Mavericks hold off Oklahoma City Thunder, 105-101

The Dallas Mavericks sent a defensive message on Saturday afternoon, defeating the Oklahoma City Thunder 105-101. They took a 2-1 series lead in the second-round playoff matchup. Following the game, Josh Bowe and I break down the effort.

This was a pretty incredible game for Dallas where in the first half, they just could not hit a shot, shooting under 40% from the field and around 25% from three. The only bright spot was P.J. Washington staying red hot and pouring in the points. The Dallas defense was so good though, they hung around and stayed within a point of the Thunder for halftime despite their poor shooting.

At the start of the second half it seemed like things might slip away from the Mavericks as the Thunder put together an impressive 11-0 run. Dallas answered right back with a 16-0 run of their own. The Mavericks would control the game from that point on, but it was a very tense finish, which involved Hack-a-Lively and some strong defensive stands from the Mavericks. Dallas walked away with an impressive win.

We also talk about the efforts of PJ Washington, the strong play from Josh Green, and more. After this show, I held a secondary podcast where fans joined to give their opinion on the game. This was an awesome time, you should join next time!
