Social Media Reacts to OKC Thunder Beating Mavericks in Game 1
The young Oklahoma City Thunder remained undefeated in the postseason, beating the Dallas Mavericks in the first game of Round 2 to move to 5-0 across two series.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexader led the way in the scoring department, followed by a steady dose of Chet Holmgren, Aaron Wiggins and a late surge from Jalen Williams.
Here was how social media reacted to the Thunder’s big win:
OH MY! FOURTH QUARTER JALEN WILLIAMS - the crowd is BARKING, the Thunder bust open a 102-87 lead.
