The Dallas Mavericks blitzed the Oklahoma City Thunder in the first quarter and held off a late rally for a 93-87 victory yesterday that gave them a 2-1 lead in their best of seven Western conference finals series.
The series continues with Game Four at the Oklahoma City Arena tomorrow.
The Mavericks raced out to a 15-point lead at the end of the first quarter, and led throughout despite a furious fourth quarter from Oklahoma where they reduced the deficit to four points with 24 seconds remaining.
The Thunder struggled with their shooting throughout the game and set a dubious NBA record missing their first 16 three-point attempts. They connected on their 17th, and final, attempt with 35 seconds remaining to trim the lead to 88-83.
Russell Westbrook scored 14 of his game-high 30 points, while Kevin Durant scored nine of his 24, in the fourth quarter to lead Oklahoma's charge as the Thunder outscored Dallas 31-23.
Dirk Nowitzki struggled for much of the game but scored 10 of his 18 points in the final period, which helped hold off the charging Thunder.
Shawn Marion also scored 18 points for the Mavericks.
