Preview: Mavs have a pair of big-time closers in Dončić, Irving

Whenever the Dallas Mavericks find themselves in a pickle, conventional wisdom suggests they already know they can turn to either Luka

Donu010diu0107 or Kyrie Irving to get themselves out of a jam.

It happened again Tuesday night on the road against the Minnesota Timberwolves as clutch baskets by Donu010diu0107 and Irving rescued the Mavs and enabled them to walk away with a 120-114 victory.

First, a 24-foot three-point bomb by Irving put the Mavs ahead of the Timberwolves, 112-107, with 2:31 remaining in the game. Then, an amazing 32-foot three-point dagger by Donu010diu0107 — with the 24-second shot clock about to expire — increased the Mavs’ lead to 117-109 with 1:04 left.
