Kyrie Irving scored 24 points and the Dallas Mavericks never trailed in beating the Los Angeles Clippers 110-104 on Wednesday night.

After the game, Irving talked about playing after one practice: “The most important thing we stressed as a team was just don’t force the ball to me. … You can play off me, I can play off the ball, I can cut. … When 77 (Luka Doncic) gets back, it’ll be even more enjoyable to see.”
