With every round of the playoffs comes competition leveled up. The start of a highly competitive series, tonight's Mavericks vs. Thunder game is not to be missed. Here's how, when and where to watch it.
 Given Oklahoma City swept the New Orleans Pelicans in the opening round, this will be just the third home game of the playoffs for the Thunder. It’s important that this young team gets off to a hot start in this series, as the Mavericks have the star talent to take advantage of inexperience.
While these teams played four times this season — with OKC coming out on top in three of them — those contests don’t provide much context into how these two teams might match up in this series. For starters, Dallas has a completely different rotation than it did for the first two games in the season following a pair of trades at the deadline.
 Chet Holmgren had 19 points, seven rebounds and three blocks, Williams added 18 points and Aaron Wiggins had 16 off the bench, including 12 in the second quarter.
The Thunder scored 22 points off Dallas' 16 turnovers.
The Mavericks shot just 39.3 percent, while the Thunder hit 44.9 percent.
The loss serves as a reminder for the Thunder that they still have work to do in order to compete at a high level in the NBA. As for the Mavericks, this win solidifies their position as one of the top teams in the league.
