SALT LAKE CITY – Kyrie Irving has always been a good three-point shooter.
But he’s never been this good.
The Mavericks’ guard is coming off a 106-94 win at Utah in which he hit 6-of-13 three-pointers, tying his season best for makes from distance. It extended a major hot streak in the first quarter of the season in which he’s made 61 of 131 triples, a 46.6 percent success rate.
If he keeps it up, that will run laps around his previous career-best for a season, 41.8 percent in 2021-22 with Brooklyn.
