Kyrie Irving, Luka Doncic lead Mavericks over Utah to avert disastrous end to homestand
Doncic scored 29 points and pulled down 10 rebounds, but was scoreless in the final quarter as Irving took over.
“That’s just who he is,” Mavericks coach Jason Kidd said. “He loves the moment. He loves to win. He loves to help his team win.” Now? Thanks to losses Tuesday by sixth-place Minnesota and fifth-place Golden State, the Mavericks leapfrogged from seventh into a virtual tie for fifth with the Warriors. Had Dallas pulled out two of the three down-to-the-wire losses to the Lakers , Indiana or Phoenix , it would be bearing down on the fourth-place Suns.
