Luka Doncic took the blame for the Mavericks’ Game 2 loss in the NBA Finals, but it was Kyrie Irving who has disappeared so far in this series. Doncic scored 32 points and added 11 assists and 11 rebounds last night, becoming only the fourth player in NBA history to get a 30-point triple-double in a loss in the Finals (Jerry West, Charles Barkley, and LeBron James were the others). Irving has 28 points combined in the first two games of the series, shooting just 13-37 from the field as Dallas finds itself in an 0-2 hole as the Finals head to Texas.
