The Dallas Mavericks lead the Thunder 3-2 in the second round of the 2023-24 playoffs. In Game 6, Kyrie Irving shot 9-of-23 and 4-of-10 three-pointers, scoring 22 points, 2 rebounds, and 3 assists. Helped the Mavericks defeat the Thunder with a score of 117-116 and advance to the Western Conference Finals with a score of 4-2.

The Mavericks trailed the Thunder by 17 points at one point, and it wasn't until Lively's dunk in the fourth quarter that they tied the score. You must know that in the previous round, after Lively won the rebound, Kyrie Irving directly hit an unreasonable three-point shot to help the Mavericks narrow the gap to only 2 points.

Lively scored 12 points and 15 rebounds in this game, and posted a post after the game to commemorate his mother, who died of cancer, and helped the team enter the Western Conference finals in the name of his mother. It can be said that it has a great inspirational story.

Doncic finished with 29 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists on 9-of-15 shooting, including 4-of-6 three-pointers. Doncic played with an injury and hit a triple-double to revitalize his teammates' offense. However, the 7 mistakes are also a bit shocking.

The key to the Mavericks' victory is still Kyrie Irving. 4 points and 0 assists in the first half. 18 points and 3 assists in the second half. Kyrie Irving is like a poet, drunk and singing in the first half, and writing poems in the second half, full of poetry.

Perhaps, this is the reason why LeBron James has always wanted to renew the front line with Kyrie Irving, even if Kyrie Irving did not perform well in the first half, he can always step up and score at key moments.

In the last two seasons of the playoffs, the Los Angeles Lakers have always needed someone to step up and score in key moments in the third or fourth quarter. It's a pity that defenders such as Reaves and D'Angelo Russell are not players who can stand up and score.

Their ability, unlike Kyrie Irving, is the only one in the active guard. He has so many tricks that you may never have seen that he will use frequently to tear through your defenses.

Kyrie Irving recently expressed admiration for the resilience and potential of the Oklahoma City Thunder, and he has the highest respect for the Thunder. However, the fan press gave Kyrie Irving more respect, because this was the first time he reached the division finals after the 2016-17 season, and even had a chance to reach the finals, and won the first championship in his career since leaving LeBron James.

Kyrie Irving was key to the Mavericks' second-round win over the Thunder, giving up more of the ball, reducing his offense and allowing his teammates to engage more offense. Kyrie Irving averaged just 15.7 points per game in the second round, but he averaged 6.2 assists per game.
