Thunder most to blame for painful Game 3 loss to Mavericks

The Oklahoma City Thunder now find themselves behind the 8-ball in their series with the Dallas Mavericks, down 2-1 after the 105-101 loss on Saturday. Oklahoma City’s main stars had solid performances, but its supporting cast left a lot to be desired.

Two players in particular who may want to forget their outings are Lu Dort and Jaylin Williams. Dort scored 8 points on 3-of-9 shooting with two rebounds, two assists, two steals, and one block across 40 minutes. Williams, on the other hand, scored two points on 0-for-2 shooting with four rebounds, one assist, and one steal across 13 minutes off the bench.

Both players were disappointing in different ways. Dort made a minimal impact offensively despite playing significant minutes, and Williams couldn’t convert a field goal when his team needed it in a close game. Will they be able to rebound from these lackluster performances?

Dort must make the most of his chances in order for the Thunder to win the series
