Kyrie Irving is playing against and guarding his former star teammate in a seven-game series, which provides a unique opportunity for the Mavericks star.
playing against the LA Clippers in the playoffs is nothing new. The two are consistent foes in the postseason and seem to provide an entertaining series each time around, no matter the circumstance.
The series was evened up in Los Angeles in Game 2, a game in which the Mavericks used defense to win the game on the road and square things up heading back to Dallas. The duo of Luka Doncic and Irving provides some of the most offensive firepower across the entirety of the NBA. They didn't lose that while making an extra effort on the defensive side of the ball. They scored a combined 55 points in the 96-93 victory, though both stars played some incredible defense throughout the matchup.
"I think me and James didn't get enough reps. We played a few games together, but we didn't get enough reps. But when you're playing with somebody that special, it makes the game easier," Irving said."But playing against them, you can tell that when he comes out with an aggressive mindset, it's a different team and we just got to be ready for his ISO basketball and his one-on-one capabilities and his ability to make his teammates better.
