Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams put on their superhero capes. The duo carried OKC back into a competitive contest. An extended 24-6 run turned this from a lopsided loss into a six-point deficit when Gilgeous-Alexander knocked down a 3-pointer.

The Mavericks are believers in the 'foul up three' crowd. The final seconds proved why that's a sound strategy. Instead of a set play, OKC was left with a scramble drill that resulted in a bad miss. Just like that, the Thunder lost once again to Dallas in a close situation.

On Sunray night, Oklahoma City lost its third game of the season, falling to the Dallas Mavericks in the Modern Frontier.
