The home side blasted out of the game one blocks with Kevin Durant, Russel Westbrook and Serge Ibaka dominating proceedings.
The Thunder ended the first half 26-11 up.
Dirk Nowitzki tried to pull Dallas back into the game but to no avail as by halftime the gap between the two teams was a massive 26 points in favour of the hosts.
Westbrook and Durant continued to punish a lacklustre Mavericks side as the Thunder produced their most dominant postseason performance since moving to Oklahoma City in 2008 from Seattle.
Westbrook finished with a game-high 24 points while Durant added 23 as the Thunder demolished the Mavs 108-70.
The best-of-seven series stays in Oklahoma for games two on Monday.
