"We got the win, that's all that matters," said Doncic, who when asked what was hurting the most replied "everything." Dallas continued to control the boards, but Oklahoma City connected on 60% of their shots in the second to take a 52-51 lead at halftime, pushing their advantage to 65-55 with an 11-0 scoring burst in the third.The Mavs responded with a 16-0 run that featured a huge dunk by Washington and was capped by his three-pointer that pushed the hosts' lead to 71-65.

"Obviously I've got to be better on my end," Irving said, but Doncic said his contribution was "amazing."Thunder coach Mark Daigneault said his young team -- with an average age of just over 23 -- got a little sloppy in the third quarter to squander a golden chance to grab a win in Dallas.
