The Dallas Mavericks star guard Kyrie Irving talked about scoring 26 of his 36 points in the fourth quarter vs. the Minnesota Timberwolves:
“I try not to overthink it. Obviously, throughout the game when I’m not shooting the ball as well as I would like – and the Timberwolves stretch out the lead – there’s an antsy-ness that comes over me. But there’s just an incredible, incredible resolve alongside my teammates to just stay poised and stay the course. Anything can happen in this league.
“I said it the other night, but there’s no 20-point leads that are safe in our league anymore, so if we can put ourselves in a great position defensively and get some stops consecutively, we can be in the game with anybody. I really wanted this one tonight at home. I did. It just didn’t go our way.”
