Willie Cauley-Stein made two free throws with 8.9 seconds left to put the Kings ahead 109-108. After a timeout, George Hill tried to score on a dribble drive into the lane. Hill's floater came up short, but Gobert reached up just outside the basket cylinder and tipped it in.

Russell Westbrook, the NBA's leading scorer, seemed to be thoroughly frustrated by the Mavs, especially by the physical defense of Wesley Matthews. Westbrook scored 29 points, 14 coming in the first period, but shot only 8 of 24 to go along with six rebounds and five assists. Westbrook also picked up his 14th technical foul on the season and a flagrant-1 foul for shoving Barnes in the third quarter.
