"The Thunder did it patching together the kookiest lineups you’ve ever seen....Who can explain it, who can tell you why? Fools give you reasons, wise men never try....for good measure, it was OKC’s first major-league win over Dallas. The Hornets were 0-8 against Dallas when they were stationed here....But the Thunder also won because the guys who had to introduce themselves to each other while they ran down the court played a professional game."
Of course the fact that the Mavs played 3 games in 4 days with a bruiser the night before probably helped, too.
