Mavs LISTEN: Luka & Kyrie Chemistry Grows With Historic Performance vs. 76ers
The Philadelphia 76ers got a dose of double trouble on Thursday night, as the Dallas Mavericks’ star duo of Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving poured in a combined 82 points in a high-octane 133-126 win. It was the first time two teammates scored 40+ points in the same game in franchise history.
“I thought our leaders when you talk about Luka [Doncic] and Kai [Kyrie Irving], they were great on both ends of the floor,” coach Jason Kidd said. “Offensively, both having 40 and 42, but those guys set the tone from the first quarter.
“You know those guys were trying to lead their team to victory and you know Kai’s sub pattern kind of changed. I was asking ‘do you want to come out?’ And he was like ‘no.’ We let him go a little bit, but you can see those two working together was at a high level against a very good team.”
On today’s episode of the Mavs Step Back Podcast, we give a full recap of the Mavs’ slump-busting win over the title-contending Sixers, including Doncic and Irving’s growing chemistry, Christian Wood’s defensive struggles, Dallas’ current spot in the Western Conference standings, and much more!
