The Oklahoma City Thunder held off a fourth-quarter comeback from the Dallas Mavericks to even the series 2-2 with a 100-96 victory. It was a brutal loss for the Mavericks, who led for most of the game and most of the fourth quarter. However, the Thunder stormed back and sealed the win.

Luka Doncic struggled in this game, going 6-20 from the field. Despite recording a triple-double, his performance was not up to his usual standards. Fans took to social media to express their disappointment in Luka's shooting and body language during the game.

The Mavericks' poor free-throw shooting played a significant role in their loss. They missed a total of 11 free throws, while the Thunder shot an impressive 95.8% from the free-throw line. Fans were frustrated with the missed opportunities and called for better free-throw shooting in future games.

Meanwhile, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander carried the Thunder with a stellar performance. He finished with 34 points and contributed to the team's comeback. Fans praised his effort and performance, giving him credit for the victory.

The Thunder's defense also played a crucial role in the win. Jaylin Williams and Cason Wallace provided energy and made key plays in the fourth quarter. Fans were impressed with their contributions on both ends of the court.

Despite the disappointing loss, the Mavericks still have an opportunity to bounce back in the next game. However, fans acknowledged the importance of improvement, particularly in free-throw shooting, to avoid similar backbreaking losses in the future.

The next game for both teams will be held on May 15, 2024, with the Oklahoma City Thunder hosting the Dallas Mavericks. Fans are eagerly awaiting the matchup and expect a competitive game between the two teams.
