December 31st versus Dallas Mavericks:

The OKC Thunder finished 2019 with a bang coming back in the clutch to beat the Mavericks. The heir apparent – Luka Doncic was magnificent putting up 35 points, 10 rebounds, seven assists, and a steal. His demise was likely attempting 16 perimeter shots (he connected on three) which was partially due to that being the shot the Thunder defense was giving the youngster.

The Thunder captain’s fingerprints were all over the win as he posted 17points, eight rebounds, seven assists, and a steal.

OKC had to come back twice in the contest after trailing by 12 points at the end of the first quarter the Thunder responded in the second frame cutting the Mavericks lead to one.

In the final frame, the teams were in a dog fight and OKC trailing by four points when Paul took over. With 2:57 left in the match the clutch time king, made all the difference as he delivered 13 points in clutch time, and nine points in those last three minutes to secure the “W”.
