The Oklahoma City Thunder faced their seventh loss of the 2024-25 NBA season against the Dallas Mavericks, despite Luguentz Dort's impressive performance. In a final play that showcased his shooting prowess, Dort made a high-arcing shot that highlighted his recent scoring surge, finishing the night with six three-pointers. This follows a season where he has reached a career-high 42.7% shooting from beyond the arc, largely due to his successful January.
During this month, Dort achieved a remarkable 53.8% shooting from three-point range and has consistently contributed to the team's offense. His teammates, particularly Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams, have been instrumental in setting him up for these shots. As the Thunder prepare for their upcoming game against the Brooklyn Nets, Dort's shooting form could be pivotal for their success.
