The Dallas Mavericks picked up a 97-87 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder in Las Vegas Summer League play on Thursday, improving to 2-2. Oklahoma City fell to 0-4 as Dallas stayed in control for much of the afternoon at UNLV’s Thomas & Mack Arena.
One of the biggest storylines from the Mavericks’ win was the continued buzz around Sergio de Larrea. The young guard is drawing attention during Dallas’ time in Las Vegas, and his performance again stood out as a reason the team looked steady and organized.
While Summer League results are always secondary to player development, this matchup still featured several notable moments for Dallas. The Mavericks showed composure, maintained control of the game, and gave fans another encouraging look at their young talent against a Thunder squad still searching for its first win.
For Dallas, the 97-87 result was less about the final score alone and more about the progress shown across the roster. With de Larrea turning heads and the Mavericks putting together a solid all-around effort, this was one of their more encouraging outings of the Las Vegas schedule.
