KD 4 3!
How impressive is Kevin Durant. He over-pursues Dirk on that final play for the Mavericks allowing Vince to play hero (at least for a few seconds), but rebounds to nail an incredibly tough 3-point shot from well beyond the 3-point line as the game clock expired. He also posted his 4th consecutive 30+ point game and now is averaging 31.7 ppg this year, tops in the NBA.Vince plays hero
For about 1 minute he was the most hated man in OKC and the most beloved man in Dallas. Then Kevin Durant was Kevin Durant.
Westbrook struggles but comes up big late
Russell Westbrook didn't play all that well. He had 7 turnovers to 4 assists, only got to the stripe 3 times and had a +/- of -5. He did come back late in the final 2 minutes to help OKC come away with their 4th win of the season.
Sloppy OKC; Hot OKC
OKC had 26 turnovers; 6 by KD, 6 by Perk, and 7 by Westbrook, however they shot nearly 60% as a team which allowed them to win despite being out shot 90-63. Let me say that again. After being out shot NINTEY to SIXTY-THREE. Yikes..
Odom Struggles Again
Lamar Odom continues to struggle adjusting to the Dallas Mavericks. Now 14 points 13 rebounds, 2 assists, and a block combined in all three games. He also looks lost on offense on most possessions. This is a big reason as to why Dallas is 0-3 out of the gate. Once he gets his game going, Dallas will start chalking up W's.
The NBA is BACK!
I cannot say this enough. Games like this are why I love the NBA. Highly competitive game, chippy, big shots being made (never forget the 3 by Jason Terry that made that Vince 3 matter), and a fantastic finish. Gotta love the NBA!
