Kyrie Irving with a couple of early 3-pointers and the Mavericks are up 12-11, despite several protestations about officiating calls, including a curious heave by the Thunder’s Chet Holmgren into the backcourt that somehow was deemed to be a loose ball instead of a turnover. – 10:14 PM

Kyrie knocks home another three, timeout Mark Daigneault. Seemed like good communication by Dort on that screen he could not get over despite trying to jump it, Chet stayed up, Kyrie splashed it. – 10:13 PM

Pretty good chunk of this crowd must be Mavs fans. Some loud cheers after that Kyrie 3-pointer – 10:11 PM

Josh Giddey continues to improve in this role, one dribble into his floater for a late shot clock bucket. Gets downhill hard again for a layup bouncing off Washington and is up to 6 points already. – 10:10 PM

Really strong attack by Josh Giddey down the lane in transition to open up the scoring. Chet Holmgren made a monster play at the rim a fewe moments ago taking away two shots and getting a board. – 10:07 PM

And just 30 seconds into Thursday’s game, Daniel Gafford’s streak of 33 consecutive field goals made ends with a miss on a tough layup. Wilt Chamberlain’s record of 35 in a row is safe. – 10:07 PM

Jason Kidd on playing without Luka tonight: “We’re still a team. There’s not one person who can make up for Luka. We’re going to need the group to do that against a very talented (OKC) team. So this gives us another chance for others to step up and do their job.” – 9:38 PM

He fits both our criteria. He’s the baddest mofo shut your mouth in the league and his team is winning.”

17 rebounds for Nurkic.
Most against the Celtics this year?
Luka Doncic with 18.
There are 3 minutes left…in the 3rd. – 9:05 PM

The Sixers are signing 2021 first-round pick Kai Jones to a 10-day deal, league source confirmed to @973ESPN.
Thoughts on the no-risk move, and the opportunity that the Sixers have to not just let a 10-day guy walk away without playing a minute:

I hope Penny Hardaway considers this season a cause for reevaluation and reflection. He hasn’t done a “great” job. He has done a decent job. This year, he did a bad job. But there’s no reason it has to define him or be the beginning of the end. – 5:40 PM

Mavs would have hands full in OKC were Luka playing. Since he’s not, the challenge is even greater after Mavs blew them out by 35 in the last meeting, and OKC coming off a 10 pt home loss on Tue to IND. @KevinGraySports pre at 8:30. Tip w/@bdameris and me at 9:05. @971TheFreak – 4:19 PM
