Dallas Mavericks praise Kyrie Irving

Luka Doncic on Kyrie Irving: “He's a blessing”

However, Doncic averaged nearly 30 points, 9.5 assists and 8.8 rebounds, but he had to work hard for it. This is nothing new, what is new is that the playmaker was not even the best player on his team. And that was Kyrie Irving, who backed that up with 28 points in the second half of Game 6.

“It's a blessing to have someone like him on our team,” a beaming Doncic said. He added, “He is always positive and helps everyone. (…) What he did in the second half was amazing. I have no doubt about him. It is wonderful to see the performance he continues to provide.”

Irving made 13 shots after the break, ten of which went through the net and only one attempt was near the basket. Instead, it was once again a demonstration of shooting, jumper after jumper that Irving nailed to the basket, thus opening the can for a Mavs half-court offense that never wanted to roll over.

The final match was a four point match against P.J. Tucker, As Keary viciously chewed the 38-year-old into a small space Then he hit the three-pointer with a foul for no credit.
