The Mavericks lost to the Thunder in Game 4, 96-100, despite holding a 14-point lead early in the game.

One factor in the Mavs' loss was their free-throw shooting, as Dallas only made 12-of-23 from the stripe.

Dallas star Luka Doncic, who had a chance to tie the game in the closing seconds but split his free throws, was frustrated with how he and the team performed from the stripe.

"We just got to work on our free throws. We shot 52 percent. That's unacceptable," Doncic told reporters.

Doncic also had a tough shooting day, making only 6-of-20 shots, good for 18 points. He also had 7 turnovers in the loss.

The series now shifts back to Oklahoma City for Game 5.
