Well this was certainly a game that was messy from the start. Mavs came out sloppy as ever but had spurts of some amazing basketball.
Luka is 100% playing through an injury right now. His rhythm is all off. Yet he still manages to drop 34/9/8.... Yeah the guy is a monster. I hope he uses this 3 day weekend to rest up and get back to himself. Great game from Luka even if it wasn't one of his best.
This was a dirkie by committee almost. 18 dunks sets an NBA record that goes back to 2003. These guys were jumping out of the building. Gafford, DJJ, PJ, Lively, all of them were relentless at attacking, and the guards were trying to find them as much as possible.
Kyrie shot 7-20 but was a +37 and basically controlled the entire flow while he was out there. Even though he couldn't really make a shot (though it didn't feel like that watching) he still played a great game offensively.
PJ's defense was incredible all game. I pray he's okay and that he isn't seriously injured. I fear the worst. Lets hope I'm wrong.
Overall I have to give my dirkie to Gafford. His energy was infectious and 10/11 from the field doesn't hurt.
