Mavericks vs. Thunder: Twitter Reacts to Thrilling Ending of Game 2

Danny WebsterApr 18, 2016

The Dallas Mavericks are heading home very much alive after a thrilling 85-84 win Monday over the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 2 of the teams' first-round NBA playoffs series.

Mavs guard Raymond Felton missed two free throws with 7.1 seconds remaining, which would've made it a three-point game.

After Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook each missed a layup at the other end, Thunder big man Steven Adams' potential game-winning putback at the buzzer was ruled to have come too late, and Dallas stole home-court advantage from Oklahoma City 48 hours after losing Game 1 by 38 points.

Twitter was abuzz after the shocking win, starting with Mavs Moneyball:

Mavericks forward Chandler Parsons isn't playing in the series due to an injury, but he made sure to congratulate his teammates:

Parsons also made sure to congratulate Dallas' two rookies, forward Justin Anderson and center Salah Mejri, for their impact on the game. The Mavs' first-round pick was grateful for his teammate's kind words:

Dallas reserve center JaVale McGee couldn't resist pulling out the Crying Jordan meme:

Even Mavs forward Charlie Villanueva couldn't believe it:

Blazer's Edge couldn't believe what took place in the final seconds:

Rob Mahoney of Sports Illustrated said that despite the outcome of Game 1, Mavericks head coach Rick Carlisle should not be doubted:

Josh Bowe of Mavs Moneyball was more than enthusiastic about the way the game ended:

Tim Cato of Mavs Moneyball shared this thought:

It's safe to say Adams was stunned when the referees reviewed his basket and called it no good, via CJ Fogler of The Cauldron:

The biggest stat from the game was Durant's 7-of-33 shooting from the floor. The performance is up there in the record books, per ESPN Stats & Info:

The Mavericks seemed dead in the water after the Thunder trounced them so thoroughly Saturday night, but this series is far from over as it now shifts to Dallas.
