In the five games Kyrie Irving and Cooper Flagg have played together, the Mavericks have a 4-1 record with wins over the Indiana Pacers, Miami Heat, Oklahoma City Thunder and Rockets. Dallas has outscored its opponents by 12 points per 100 possessions in the 98 minutes they have shared the floor. “We are still growing,” Irving said. “We still have a level we want to get to — a higher level. We are going to continue to push each other. We obviously know the external chatter as well and the 15-year age gap and what we are going to accomplish and how we are going to mesh. I think we threw all that out the window and just really focused on what we can control, which is our effort and how we treat each other.”
For Giannis Antetokoumpo their 0-4 start gave them a chip on their shoulder to respond to critics and the outside noise. "I feel like the first four games, it was a good feeling," Giannis told reporters after their 145-125 NBA Cup opener win against the Indiana Pacers. "Obviously, we were over a kind of shock of how things were going, but it's a good feeling because now you know that feeling, being down, being doubted, being criticized, and now that we're winning. We have two in a row. We just got to keep on staying humble because this can flip immediately.
Eric Nehm: FINAL: Heat 145, Pacers 125 - Antetokounmpo 31pts/17reb/10ast - Adebayo 27pts/9reb/3ast - Thompson 25pts/3ast - Larsson 18pts/3reb/3ast - Mitchell 15pts/6reb/11ast - Wiggins 12pts The Heat are now 2-4 on the season. They start a 5-game West Coast trip on Monday vs. the Lakers.
