Celtics – Mavericks live online: stats, scores and highlights | NBA Finals Game 3
Who is helping Luka?
Luka Doncic can only do so much. Not even a 32 point triple double was enough for the Mavs to pull out a victory against the Celtics last game. He needs help and he needs it ASAP. The most obvious choice to step up and play side kick is Kyrie Irving. The former Celtics had a couple of forgettable games from the field in front of the fans that used to wear his jersey at TD Garden. While the shooting is understandable, one thing that we aren’t used to see is Kyrie turn the ball over. One of the greatest ball handlers of all time has been uncharacteristically sloppy with his dribble and passing the ball. We have seen him bouncing the ball off his feet, getting stripped of possession and passing it out of bounds with no one in the area. Beating the Celtics is hard enough, but when half of your tag team duo isn’t bringing it, that makes it impossible to win.
