The Oklahoma City Thunder fell to the Luka Doncic-less Dallas Mavericks at home on Sunday night, 103-84.
While the final score looks bad, the Thunder were surprisingly in this game for the majority of it. This game was decided in the second and fourth quarter, where the Mavericks outscored the Thunder 51-32.
This was just overall a very lackadaisical game for the Thunder as nobody really played truly awful but nobody really stood up either as the Mavericks have struggled without Doncic this season.
The Thunder struggled to get much going on the scoring front as only four players finished with at least 10 points. One has to wonder how much Lu Dort’s early exit (ankle sprain) in the first half has to do with that. Outside of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who finished with 18 points, nobody else on the Thunder roster can really create their own shot or are in the aggressive mindset to look for it.
With that said, let’s take a look at some player grades.
