Deron Williams and J.J. Barea were out of action for the Mavericks in game 2 versus OKC two nights ago, so Raymond Felton had to step up big. He did just that by notching 21 points and grabbing 11 boards. He, more so than Dirk Nowitzki, was probably the key to victor in game 2.
On Thursday night, the Mavs hosted the Thunder in game 3 and were practically run out of their own gym, losing in lopsided fashion 131-102.
In the first half, Felton must’ve still been riding the wave from game 1 as he got tangled up with Steven Adams. Felton is generously listed at 6’1” and Adams at 7’0”. That didn’t stop Felton from getting in Adams’ face.
