Mavs' Luka Doncic calls 1st game with Kyrie Irving 'really fun'

SACRAMENTO -- As fiery a competitor as Luka Doncic is, he couldn't stop smiling after the Dallas Mavericks' 133-128 overtime loss Saturday night to the Sacramento Kings.

That's how much Doncic enjoyed playing with new teammate Kyrie Irving for the first time -- and how excited Doncic is about the possibilities for the All-Star backcourt partnership.

"It's only our first game together, but it's so fun to play with this guy," Doncic said. "He's an amazing basketball player, and I think it's going to be really fun. First game, it was really fun.
