Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Dallas Mavericks: Live Score, Highlights and Reaction

Behind 30 points from Dirk Nowitzki and 26 from Chandler Parsons, the Dallas Mavericks defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder, 112-107, Sunday night. 

In a game that boasted nine double-figure scorers, Dallas dropped at least 31 points in three of four quarters, with the third frame representing the lone exception. 

Although the Thunder led by seven after 36 minutes, Dallas outscored Oklahoma City, 31-19, in the final period thanks to Nowitzki's hot shooting and Rajon Rondo's stifling defense. 

Rondo, who was tasked with checking Russell Westbrook, finished with 15 points and seven assists while finishing a team-best plus-17 in 34 minutes. Monta Ellis chipped in 18 points (6-of-20 shooting) before rolling his left ankle and departing in crunch time. 

As a team, the Mavericks (22-10) shot just 44 percent from the field but drilled twice as many threes (10) and free throws (24) as the Thunder. 

However, with Tyson Chandler (back spasms) out of the lineup, Dallas was outscored, 60-40, in the paint. 

Oklahoma City converted 50 percent of its total shots, with Serge Ibaka leading the way behind totals of 26 points (11-of-14 shooting, 3-of-4 from three) and 10 rebounds. On the season, Ibaka has now knocked down 46 threes, surpassing his previous career-high of 45. 

Westbrook was hot and cold all night, finishing with 18 points (6-of-23 shooting), nine rebounds, nine assists, five steals and five turnovers. 

But without Kevin Durant, who missed his sixth straight game with a sprained ankle, Oklahoma City was unable to find easy buckets down the stretch. 

Reggie Jackson poured in 21 points, three assists and four rebounds off the pine while Perry Jones and Steven Adams added 10 and 11 points, respectively. 

The Thunder (15-17) will attempt to get back on the winning track Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET against the Phoenix Suns. Dallas, meanwhile, will host the Washington Wizards at 8:30 p.m. ET Tuesday evening.
