Mavs Look To Keep Rolling At Home
The Dallas Mavericks play host to the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semi Finals at American Airlines Center on Monday evening.

The Thunder kicked off the series with a win in Game 1, but the Mavs bounced back in Game 2 to steal one on the road and tie the series at 1-1. The Mavs are coming off their second straight win as they carried the momentum back to Dallas for a win in Game 3.

The Mavs got out to a quick eight-point lead in Saturday's win but only held a three-point advantage heading into the second quarter before trailing by one point at the break. After falling behind by as many as 10 early in the third, they used a 27-13 run to close the quarter and claim four-point edge entering the final frame. The Thunder kept up the fight in the fourth, but the Mavs stayed focused and held on for the home win. P.J. Washington led the hosts with 27 points, six rebounds and two assists, while Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving added 22 points each. Dereck Lively also delivered a strong performance with 12 points and eight rebounds, off the bench. On the other side, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the Thunder with 31 points, 10 rebounds, six assists, a steal and five blocks, in 42 minutes of action. Jalen Williams followed up with 16 points, six rebounds, eight assists and a block, while Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Joe chipped in 13 points each.

The Thunder have a clean bill of health entering Game 4, while Luka Doncic (knee) is listed as questionable, and Maxi Kleber (shoulder) will remain out for Monday's action.
