The Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Dallas Mavericks 92 - 91 Monday at American Airlines Center. With just over three minutes remaining in Monday's contest, the Thunder (42 - 31) looked dead in the water, as they were down 13 and the Mavericks (31 - 42) had control for majority of the game. Russell Westbrook, however, had other plans, as he led the team on a 140 run to end the game that was topped off by a game - winning jumper from the free throw line. Westbrook finished with yet another triple - double of 37 points (16 of which came in the final quarter), 13 rebounds and 10 assists in 36 minutes, and he did so while shooting an efficient 15 - of - 30 from the field. And the MVP-candidate carried the load for Oklahoma City, as Victor Oladipo (15) and Taj Gibson (13) were the only other players to score in double figures for the Thunder. As for Dallas, they played a strong 45 minutes before collapsing down the stretch and missing their final six shots from the field. Six different Mavericks players managed to score in double figures, but overall, it ended up being a subpar offensive performance from the team, as they shot just 41 percent from the field. It was, however, one of the better performances from Nerlens Noel since he was traded to Dallas, as he recorded 15 points on 6 - of - 12 shooting and eight rebounds - - both of which were team - highs - - in 28 minutes. Up next, the Thunder will head to Orlando on Wednesday to take on the Magic, while the Mavericks will look to avoid dropping their third straight game in New Orleans on Wednesday.
