The Dallas Mavericks ( 22 - 10 ) defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder ( 15 - 17 ) 112 - 107 on Sunday at the American Airlines Center in Dallas . Despite the loss , the Thunder shot much better than the Mavericks as they finished 50 percent from the field and 36 percent from the three - point line , while the Mavericks shot 44 percent from the floor and 32 percent from beyond the arc . The Thunder also severely out - rebounded the Mavericks 53 - 37 , but it still was n't enough to push them to the victory . What may have been the difference is free throws , as the Thunder made only 12 - of - 21 from the line . The Mavericks were led by the duo of Dirk Nowitzki and Chandler Parson . Nowitzki shot 8 - for - 13 from the field and 2 - for - 3 from the three - point line to score a game - high of 30 points , while also adding five rebounds . He was able to get to the free throw line 12 times and converted on a perfect 12 of those attempts . With Tyson Chandler sitting out , Nowitzki started at center instead of power forward , but it only helped him in the end as the 30 points matched a season - high for him . Parsons on the other hand shot 10 - for - 16 from the field and 5 - for - 9 from beyond the arc to score 26 points . After not doing much offensively over his last three games , it was good to see Parsons get back on track . Both Rajon Rondo and Monta Ellis also played well . Rondo had 15 points ( 7 - 17 FG , 0 - 1 3Pt , 1 - 4 FT ) and seven assists , while Ellis had 18 points ( 6 - 20 FG , 1 - 6 3Pt , 5 - 5 FT ) and five assists . With Kevin Durant still sitting out , Russell Westbrook continued to take the bulk of the shots . Despite getting off so many shots , Westbrook shot only 6 - for - 23 from the field , but still scored 18 points , as he converted on 6 - of - 9 attempts from the free throw line . He nearly recorded a triple - double , as he finished with nine rebounds and nine assists , while even adding five steals . The player who had the biggest night though was Serge Ibaka , who has been somehwat quiet this season . He had an efficient 26 points ( 11 - 14 FG , 3 - 4 3Pt , 1 - 2 FT ) and 10 rebounds in 37 minutes . The double - double was his second in a row and seventh on the season . Leading the bench in scoring , Reggie Jackson finished with 21 points ( 10 - 17 FG , 1 - 3 3Pt ) , but turned the ball over six times , which may have taken away from an otherwise solid performance . The Mavericks ' next game will be at home against the Washington Wizards on Tuesday , while the Thunder will be at home against the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday .
