Coming off a heartbreaking one-possession loss against the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday, the Dallas Mavericks bounced back by defeating the No. 1 team in the Western Conference, the Oklahoma City Thunder, 106-98, on Friday night. This ended their three-game losing streak. OKC didn’t have their MVP, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, in this game, but Dallas didn’t have their MVP, Luka Doncic, either. Mavs Step Back breaks down the win and ponders what it could mean for the team going forward.
Although OKC is the top seed in the West, do the Mavs have a significant edge in physical and mental toughness in this matchup? With Kyrie Irving back in the lineup, can Dallas survive this upcoming stretch in the schedule where they’ll play the Minnesota Timberwolves, the Thunder, and the Boston Celtics all in four days? Let’s talk about it! Thanks for listening, and be sure to SUBSCRIBE for updates on all Mavs Step Back content!
