The Dallas Mavericks got the upper hand on the Oklahoma City Thunder for the second time this season, though it was undermanned.

After Thunder All-Star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led a 30-2 run in a 136-116 blowout win against the Cavs, he suffered a sore wrist before facing the Mavericks. Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault announced Gilgeous-Alexander as questionable before the team ruled him out officially before tip-off.

Like the new kid at school who gets bullied by the older kids, sometimes the best advice a parent can give involves consequences — fight back and stand up for yourself, suspensions be damned. The Oklahoma City Thunder might need to apply that mindset against PJ Washington in their next matchup against the Dallas Mavericks.
