Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving drives past Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner on a turnover during the first half of an NBA basketball game, Monday, Nov. 6, 2023, in Orlando, Fla.
“Seems like we like close games, huh?” said Irving, after the Mavericks improved to an NBA-best 6-0 in clutch games, defined as games in which the margin is five or fewer points during the final five minutes.“When I signed back here, I knew that my role was going to be a little bit different than it was on other teams,” Irving added. “And even last year, when we had different pieces.
“Last year we wouldn’t be winning these type of games, especially back-to-back,” Hardaway said. “Right now it shows we trust one another out there, but we also hold each other accountable. And guys listen and go out there and fight for one another.”In Sunday’s victory, the Mavericks took their first lead, at 94-92, since the first quarter, when it was 15-14. Monday was a virtual carbon copy.
