Dončić-Irving combo’s superior play overshadows improved defense

What the Mavericks are learning about themselves as they get healthy and the picture starts to look better than second-grade finger painting is that Luka Donu010diu0107 and Kyrie Irving can be an awesome force together.

When things are right with them, the Mavericks are darn tough to beat.

Their 70-point night on Thursday in the 123-113 win over Phoenix was more proof that the break-in period for this dynamic backcourt is complete. What we have now is a well-oiled machine – again, when everything is right.

“It answers the question that they work (together),” coach Jason Kidd said of the way Donu010diu0107 and Irving are playing during the seven-game winning streak.
