The Dallas Mavericks lost the first two games of the 2024 NBA Finals and now have their backs up against the wall as they return to American Airlines Center for Game 3 on Wednesday night. It's a pretty big game for the Mavericks as no team has ever come back from down 3-0 in the NBA Finals. You might say its the biggest game of most players' lives.
One player who you probably shouldn't say that about is Kyrie Irving, who won the NBA title in 2016. You may recall he hit the go-ahead three-pointer in the final minute of Game 7. You may also remember him playing really well in Game 5 (41 points) and Game 6 as the Golden State Warriors blew a 3-1 lead. Pretty big games! Game 7 will arguably go down in history as one of the most significant games of all-time.
