Luka Doncic scored 42 points and Kyrie Irving added 40 as the Dallas Mavericks outlasted the Philadelphia 76ers 133-126 on Thursday night.

After the game, the Mavs star Luka Doncic was asked about how Kyrie Irving being more aggressive in the first half against the Sixers benefited the offense:

“He was great, he had 40 (points). I mean, not just today, he’s been great since the trade. Like I said, we gotta get stops, and playing with Kai [Kyrie Irving] is so easy, so it helps me a lot. So it’s way easier.”
