Kyrie (80th percentile) and Luka (91st percentile) are just unfair in PnR. Chet is having to show with the handler more late to the roller, Mavs offense benefits from teams collapsing on the two depends on if their complimentary players hit the spray outs or not. – 10:24 PM

Kyrie Irving with a couple of early 3-pointers and the Mavericks are up 12-11, despite several protestations about officiating calls, including a curious heave by the Thunder’s Chet Holmgren into the backcourt that somehow was deemed to be a loose ball instead of a turnover. – 10:14 PM
