Kyrie Irving scores 33 points in Game 3 triumph
Kyrie Irving played 42 minutes in Sundayâs 116-107 win over Minnesota, tallying 33 points (12-of-20 FGs, 6-of-8 FTs), three rebounds, four assists, one steal, and three 3-pointers.
Advice: Dallas has the proven âclosersâ in this series, while Minnesota doesnât. Irving scored 14 of his 33 points in the fourth quarter, combining with Luka Doncic to lead the Mavericks to a 3-0 series lead. Teams that have won the first three games of a best-of-7 series are 154-0 all-time, so it may be a matter of âwhenâ the Mavericks reach the finals for the first time since 2011 instead of âif.â Also, Irving is 14-0 in his NBA postseason career in close-out games.
