Dort is missing in every possession...Luka playing as close to his level as possible

Lively is a better defender then Chet. Is he going to be able to put on any weight?

Is not just that he is playing better and more concentrated.

He is clearly moving better, with more confidence. It would be great if that continues.

Same as last series. Luka best player on the court = Mavs blowout

The defense has been amazing too

I am honestly confused as to how Luka is the only player on the Mavericks to shoot a free throw. That's insane.

It's supposed to be Williams and then Chet

Williams not him...looks like a role player, not even a good one

You are watching the games, KI is drying...excellent defense

Lively is +22 in 18 minutes of game action. Only has one block.

Refs tried their best to bring OKC back but Mavs are too good.

Luka finally looks like himself tonight. When he starts going thermonuclear, good luck guarding him.

This should've been 4-1 if Luka and Kyrie didn't choke.

And Luka would be resting after this game.

This OKC will never be a contender if they just keep this roster

You must have missed the Denver game last night but ya Luka is up there.

A Denver Dallas series would be a lot of fun to watch.
