After winning field advantage with a victory in Dallas in Game 2, the Thunder has stagnated in the first quarter of Game 3 and gave it away. He fell into a hole of humility in 23 points in the first 14 minutes to their homeland, and never able to mount its output.

"You lose a home game, you should be angry," All-Star point guard Russell Westbrook (Notes) said Sunday. "You have to take care of the yard at home."

Dallas used exactly this approach after losing to the American Airlines Center in Game 2 and indulgent field advantage. Mavericks improved their defense, building a 35-12 lead in the first 2 minutes of the second quarter, then turned away from a rally behind Oklahoma City to a 93-87 victory.

The Mavs lead 2-1 heading into Game 4 on Monday night in Oklahoma City.

"If you think this is a must-win at the end of the day," Thunder guard Daequan Cook (Notes) said. "If we win tomorrow, it is a series of three. Two of the three games in Dallas, if you want to take this opportunity to win at home tomorrow night and hope to go to Dallas and win one , too. "

After yielding only 88.3 points per game in the first two rounds, Dallas had left the Thunder average of 109 in the first two games. Coach Rick Carlisle said he thought the Mavs would be out of their habits due to the transition defense headquarters in Oklahoma City, with a perimeter-oriented offense.
