Dirk
Press the ball all over the court, hope for turnovers and easy baskets. Perhaps play Powell a bit on Durant to give different looks. Likewise, give Anderson some time on RW. Mix it up in the hope of keeping OKC off balance. Pray.. pray... pray for a better shooting night. Only use ZaZa for an occasional foul when someone (RW) drives the lane. Send him to the floor, so he will start complaining to the refs. A pissed off RW will either make him go off for 50 or take his head out of the game, and he will start jacking up 3s. Gotta take that chance.
That's all I've got.
Mavs 93
OKC 90

Another thing to mix it up would be to put 2 shot blockers in the game at the same time at times.
Play Mejri and McGee at the same time and see what that yields. If we can't score we might as well turn them into a jump shooting team and take our chances.
We've lost some of our better offensive guys but our best defenders are still available....try winning with that for a change.
