The Dallas Mavericks defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder, 104-92, on Wednesday night en route to taking a commanding 3-2 lead in the series. Luka Doncic seemingly returned to his MVP form, registering 31 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists.
He played 23 minutes, and his two highest minutes in this Thunder series have now come back-to-back in Games 4 and 5. Lively logged 11 points, hitting on 3-of-4 field goals and nabbing 10 rebounds, one steal and one block in those minutes, but his impact went beyond the stat sheet. Coming off the bench, he was a team-high +22.
One easy way to see a huge reason why OKC's been struggling on offense: watch Dereck Lively throughout this possession.
