3 Studs, 2 duds in Mavericks’ clutch road win against Lakers

1. Stud - Kyrie Irving

In the Mavs win, Kyrie Irving was perfect on both sides of the floor. Irving made clutch plays throughout the whole game.

Irving put up a very solid 28 points, six rebounds, two assists and two steals in the win. Irving also shot a very efficient 11-22 from the field, as well as 4-8 from behind the line. Irving led the team in plus-minus with a plus 14 and showed why he’s one of the most clutch-time players in the NBA.

Irving would end up hitting the game-winner off of a dime from co-star, Luka Doncic. After having a slow offensive start to the season, it’s clear Irving has found a great rhythm.

Not only did he showcase his talents offensively, but he would prove to his fans that he could be a solid defender as well. Irving would create a late game eight second violation on the Lakers that would flip around the momentum.

With the way Irving and Doncic have been playing as a duo lately, it will be very hard to stop them. Expect for Irving to continue to have a big impact for this Mavs team and be one of the main reasons they rack up these wins.

For all the latest on Kyrie Irving, Luka Doncic, and the Dallas Mavericks this season, stay tuned.
