Thursday appeared to be night when the Mavs' All-Star duo finally figured out how to unleash their full selves.
Asked if he is starting to, Irving laughed: “I’m just trying to give it a few more games,” he joked. “Obviously where we are in the season, comfortability is not really something I’m focused on. I just want to go out there and play hard and let the possessions flow into what’s best for our team.”“Teams are making runs, and if I show any mental fragility, teams are going to take advantage of it,” he said.
Still, Dallas only led by four at that point. Then came the opening 1:41 of the third quarter, when a 10-2 Dallas run went thusly: Irving 10-footer, Doncic 3-pointer, Irving layup, Irving 3-pointer. Dallas’ lead was 107-82 at that point, which also is when Philadelphia, after a timeout went on the 24-3 run, including 15-0 to start the fourth quarter. The lead was down to 110-106. Shades of Sunday’s loss to the Lakers, when Dallas blew a 27-point lead.“I just came to the bench and I knew I had to be very open with my dialogue, saying, ‘This can’t happen again.’
