The Lakers beat Mavs 111-108 on Sunday. Luka Doncic scored 26 points, Kyrie Irving had 21 points and 11 rebounds for Dallas. Following the game, the Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd gave his opinion on the lack of late-game chemistry between Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic:
“I don’t know if it’s a chemistry thing. They just gotta get it under their belt. They gotta go through the ups and downs of understanding each other and the movements and that it takes time. It just doesn’t happen, even with two of the best players in the world. It doesn’t happen overnight.”
“It’s better that it happens now than in the playoffs. And just understanding each possession as we get in these close games will make us that much better as a team.”
