00:02 - Saturday night was a sold out arena

00:06 to witness game six of the playoff series

00:08 between the Dallas Mavericks and the Oklahoma City Thunder.

00:11 The Mavs closed out the series,

00:13 finishing four and two with a final score of 117 to 116.

00:18 - Definitely feels good to get the series done

00:20 and now we can reflect on it and see

00:24 how we improved as players and as a team

00:26 and as coaching staff and as organization.

00:27 So I'm appreciative of it.

00:29 - The moral of the story is defense wins games.

00:32 The Thunder came out strong with their defensive approach,

00:34 but Mavs' Derek Lively had other plans

00:36 as he led the team with 15 rebounds,

00:39 helping the Mavs finish with a total of 47.

00:42 We spoke to Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving after the game

00:44 and they said, "We're not going back to OKC."

00:48 - We said at the halftime, "We're not going back to OKC."

00:50 So that's what we did.

00:51 We stayed together, as I always say,

00:53 and playing with energy.

00:56 That rebound, that PGA guy, I remember.

00:58 And then I draw and he hit the three.

01:01 It was a huge moment in the game.

01:02 It was a momentum change and it was very, very huge

01:07 at the end of the game.

01:08 - Luka Doncic finished with 29 points,

01:10 10 rebounds, and 10 assists.

01:12 Right behind him was Kyrie Irving,

01:14 who finished with 22 points, two rebounds, and three assists.

01:18 The Dallas Mavericks will advance

01:19 to the Western Conference Finals.

01:21 And for all things Mavs,

01:22 tune in to Channel 15 Spectrum Cable

01:24 Wednesdays and Thursday nights at 11 p.m.
