Tony Brothers whistles Luka Doncic for a foul as Dort knocks down a 3. Luka motioned to the coaching staff to challenge. That’s exactly what Jason Kidd is going to do. – 8:19 PM

Lu Dort swishes in the corner 3-pointer, Luka fouls him on the shot and now he has a chance for a 4-point play. Kidd challenges the foul call. Massive early moment as the Thunder have punched the Mavs first in these opening minutes with a 13-4 lead with 9:22 left in the 1Q – 8:19 PM

Doncic warmup came and went 20 minutes earlier than usual, just like Game 5 in OKC. Hey, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix. – 6:49 PM
