NBA Update

On Saturday, the Dallas Mavericks lost in overtime to the Sacramento Kings. Final score was 133-128. This was Luka Doncic’s and Kyrie Irving’s first game together for the Mavs. Kryie had a nice night with 28 points, 7 rebounds, and 7 assists. Luka had 27, 9, and 5. Doncic also said it was fun playing with Kyrie. We’ll see how much fun they are having if they aren’t producing wins.

There were several other games in the NBA on Saturday and there was a dramatic finish in the 76ers vs Nets game in Brooklyn. A last second almost half court 3 pointer went in to tie up the game, but it ultimately didn’t count as the clock actually expired before release. Watch it below.
