"That’s probably one of the worst halves I’ve ever played," Dončić said of his first half in the 118-104 loss.

Luka Doncic ended with 16 points, 10 rebounds, and five assists, but his slow start was tough to overcome with just two points through the first three quarters. OKC did a tremendous job of keeping the ball out of his hands before Doncic forced the action in the fourth quarter. Kyrie Irving was also mostly limited with 17 points on 7/14 shooting.

They collected a 118-104 win over the Dallas Mavericks in the 2024 NBA Cup quarterfinals. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander showed out in front of a national audience with an efficient 39 points. Jalen Williams added 18 points and Isaiah Hartenstein collected another double-double.
