Thunder do a much better job protecting Westbrook-Payne pregame dance
Russell Westbrook and Cameron Payne had no interruptions during their pregame dance Thursday. They can thank one of their Oklahoma City Thunder teammates for this smooth performance before Game 3 against the Mavericks.
Mitch McGary took matters into his own hands Thursday, walking toward the scorer's table, where Westbrook and Payne normally do their dance, to make it went off without a hitch.

This comes three days after Charlie Villanueva and Justin Anderson ruined the Thunder duo's pregame flow before Game 2. The move upset Westbrook so much he shoved Villanueva, who said the two should go to a dance club.

Maybe the pregame mojo will allow the Thunder to reclaim home-court advantage.
