Alright folks, gather ’round! Let me tell you about this hoop extravaganza that went down in Oklahoma City. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the man of the hour, dropped a cool 39 points on the Mavericks like they were nothing but a bunch of high school kids. I mean, this guy was out there shooting three-pointers like he was at a carnival! The Thunder rolled over the Mavericks 118-104, and let me tell you, it wasn’t even close. They were up by 20 points at one point. You’d think the Mavericks were trying to play basketball blindfolded! Luka Doncic, that European wizard we all love? Well, he was more like a sorcerer who misplaced his magic wand, scoring just 16 points. The Thunder’s defense was so tight, it was like they were auditioning for a role in a heist movie! And what about those turnovers? The Mavericks gave up the ball 19 times, like they were playing hot potato. The Thunder gobbled up those mistakes like they were Thanksgiving leftovers! Now, they’re off to Las Vegas for the semifinals, where they’ll face either Golden State or Houston. Can you say, ‘What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas’? Well, unless you’re the Mavericks, then it’s just a lesson learned! Check out more about the NBA Cup action [here](https://apnews.com/hub/nba).
