The Mavericks suffered a 120-109 defeat to Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday, January 9 at Paycom Center.
“They do a great job. They’re one of the best teams at attacking the paint and continuing to attack the paint," Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd said after the game.
"If one doesn’t (get to the rim), they pass it and the next one does. They did that on a consistent basis. Shai [Gilgeous-Alexander] got to the paint. We tried to make it tough on him.
"He’s an all-star. And we just couldn’t stop him. “But it was a six-point game. And we take two threes, two good looks, and missed and from there it was just uphill.”
