Luka Doncic: Finally no complaining with the referees
That was successful and the Mavs looked correspondingly solid in the fourth quarter when OKC threw everything at the wall again. Doncic teams have a tendency to be guided by emotions, this applies to Dallas as well as the Slovenian national team. No wonder if the leader questions every (missed) foul whistle and talks more to the referees than to his teammates.
Instead, Dallas carried out the game plan consistently, only a few offensive rebounds hurt at the beginning. Over the course of the game, the Thunder only shot 42 percent from the field, and the Mavs made a lot of threes, of which Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams only took 7 of the 40. The defense continued to stand (the Thunder now have 117, 101 , 101, 100 and 92 points, is there a trend to be seen here?), she also did it in Game 4, but this time Doncic generated enough offense.
The Slovenian found a teammate four times via alley oop, and he finally made threes again (5/11 3P), mostly in moments when Dallas urgently needed points. There were also three turnovers, but all in all it was just a highly concentrated performance in a hall that offered a lot of sideshows.
