After the game, Kyrie Irving met with the media and spoke about Doncic (h/t Michael Scotto of HoopsHype).

Irving: "I’m amazed. I don’t use that word lightly either. I'm amazed on how much time he puts on his body and how much time he puts on his craft. I've been saying it, but just that no fear mentally that confidence that he carries, he walks around with it. Of course the awards come a long with that too. And the expectations come a long. I think he’s answered a lot of calls. When Luka first came into the league, there were a lot of questions on what he was going to turn out to be. I know a few people are eating their words. Watching him ascend into becoming an all-time great is amazing and I don’t take it for granted because I played with one of the greatest of all time, arguably the greatest of all time."
