42 points for Irving, his high as a Maverick. His previous best was 41 at Atlanta last April 2, a 132-130 loss. – 10:45 PM

Mavs go into fourth quarter up 101-86. Kyrie Irving has been fantastic with 38 points and seven assists. Tim Hardaway Jr. with 23. Mavericks following up one of their worst games of the season with one of their best so far. – 10:29 PM

Anunoby and DiVincenzo have had some possessions defending Kyrie perfectly and he still is up to 35 points right now — which is why he can be Kyrie and still get the contract he has. Also, Kyrie donated seats to a kids organization here tonight. – 10:18 PM

Irving is up to 35 points, 7 assists after back-to-back key baskets to push Dallas’ lead back to 95-84. – 10:18 PM

I understand the KNicks frustration with these calls. Kyrie falling down on his own all over the place and refs whistle. – 10:06 PM

Think OG has done decent job guarding Kyrie — not great, but decent. Tim Hardaway Jr. is killing them.
And offensively, Knicks open 3s aren’t falling.
Mavs 61, Knicks 47 – 9:32 PM

Long bounce pass from Irving to Green nets a slam and puts the Mavericks up 31-18 with 2:57 left in the quarter. Green very active early and is doing a good job denying Jalen Brunson the ball as much as he can. – 9:00 PM

Mavs up 31-18 — Kyrie dominating so far, 10 points and 5 assists. OG started out on him, Donte took a turn and now McBride is checking in so wonder if he takes the assignment. – 8:59 PM

Shockingly, Dwight Powell got hit in the face on Julius Randle’s last bucket, but he walked to the bench. Mavs off to a terrific start, up 18-9 with 6:13 to go in the first. Irving scored the first eight points. – 8:51 PM

And I totally understand that everyone has moved past KD and Kyrie. But guess what? Brooklyn’s entire identity WAS Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. They put all their stock into those guys and it failed.
These are simply the repercussions – limbo. – 6:03 PM

Tim MacMahon: Kyrie Irving is the second player in Mavs history to have at least 40 points and 10 assists in a game, per @ESPNStatsInfo. Luka Doncic, who has done it many times, sat out tonight’s win over the Knicks with a sprained ankle. -via Twitter @espn_macmahon / January 11, 2024
Luka Doncic, the dark-horse NBA MVP candidate, has been ruled out of Thursday’s matchup against the Knicks with an ankle sprain, the Mavericks announced. The injury leaves the Mavericks without their top scorer and gives extra responsibility to Kyrie Irving, who returned from a heel bruise last week. Irving’s head-to-head with Jalen Brunson is the evening’s matchup to watch. -via New York Post / January 11, 2024
