I'm going with Kyrie. His early game involvement got the Mavs momentum going in the right direction so the team was playing with a lead instead of trying to dig out of a hole. IMO, that freed eveyone up to engage and have fun. I will add that Ky didn't try to push his domination, but once the rest of the team got involved he was happy to step back and play within the rhythm of the team.
A couple of observations from garbage time...
I know he still has a way to go, but when you see OMax's size and the way he moves you can understand why he's worth developing. Actually seems to have some touch around the basket and is big enough to take the contact.
Was happy to see Gortman get his first NBA basket. Looked very comfortable taking the shot. But he should have been, up 25-ish and the game basically over. He looked so positive in the pre-season, IIRC he showed some defensive tenacity, that I'm interested in seeing how he performs in a real game.
