Kyrie the last up for Dallas. Said he told his hermanos that he has to play better for them. “We’ve gotten this far because we’re a great team, not because we’ve put it all on me or Luka.” pic.twitter.com/lPdCqTv0Qj – 2:06 PM

New story: Jason Kidd said the #Mavs need someone outside of Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving to step up on the offensive end.
Assuming Irving returns to form in Game 3, who’s it going to be? dallasnews.com/sports/maveric… – 12:29 PM
