Like Perry Mason, the defense rests

The Mavericks have been pitiful on the defensive end so far, particularly in the second quarter. On OKC's last three possessions, the Mavericks gave up an offensive rebound and a layup to Russell Westbrook, a Damien Wilkins drive and a lob pass to Westbrook on which Jason Terry knew the minute it happened that he had turned his head at exactly the wrong time.

As always against these guys, it looks like this one is going to be a struggle.
