The Mavericks appear to be taking shape in the first full season of the on-court collaboration between Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving.
DENVER — Luka Doncic has been at his best — one of the NBA's best, too, for that matter — in crunch time this season.

It's a small sample size, but the Mavericks look to be taking shape in the first full season of the on-court collaboration between Doncic and Kyrie Irving.
He's 8 of 11 for 25 points down the stretch of close games, behind just Stephen Curry and LeBron James . Also on the list are Damian Lillard , Donovan Mitchell , Wembanyama , the rookie sensation from France who's taken the league by storm, and Mikal Bridges . 'On offense, just always finds the right play,' explained Lively, the 7-foot-1 rookie center out of Duke. 'And if you don't see the right play, he'll find it himself.
