Big win for the Mavs without Luka as 3 players set or tie season highs in a 128-124 win vs New York.
Kyrie Irving – 44, his most w/ the Mavs.
Tim Hardaway Jr – 32 tied a season high.
Josh Green – season high tying 18 including a dagger 3 to end the Knicks 5-game win streak – 12:05 AM

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. – 11:04 PM

Michael Dugat @mdug
Kyrie has been as good as he’s looked in Dallas. – 10:46 PM

Brad Townsend @townbrad
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

Brad Townsend @townbrad
40 for Irving. – 10:40 PM

Eddie Sefko @ESefko
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

Fred Katz @FredKatz
Through three quarters, the Mavericks lead the Knicks 101-86.
• Randle 29-5-4
• Brunson 18 pts, 6 asts
• DiVincenzo 16 & 4
• Irving 38 pts, 7 asts
• Hardaway 23-3-3 – 10:29 PM

Steve Popper @StevePopper
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

Brad Townsend @townbrad
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

Fred Katz @FredKatz
The Knicks have had some possessions tonight where they’ve done everything right on Kyrie Irving and it hasn’t mattered at all. Dude is magical right now. – 10:16 PM

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

Fred Katz @FredKatz
Halftime. Mavericks lead the Knicks 74-55.
• Brunson 13 pts
• Randle 10 & 3
• DiVincenzo 10 & 3
• Hardaway 18 pts
• Irving 18 pts, 7 asts
Mavericks are shooting 58 percent from the field and are 10-20 from deep. – 9:45 PM

Stefan Bondy @SBondyNYDN
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

Steve Popper @StevePopper
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

Eddie Sefko @ESefko
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

Fred Katz @FredKatz
Kyrie is so smooth. These shots are ridiculous. – 8:43 PM

Brad Townsend @townbrad
Irving 8, Knicks 4. – 8:43 PM

Steve Popper @StevePopper
OG starts off on Kyrie. – 8:41 PM

Anthony Puccio @APOOCH
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
