LOS ANGELES — This, supposedly, merely was the precursor. The teaser. The prequel to the blockbuster.
Certainly Kyrie Irving’s Mavericks debut Wednesday night in, naturally, Tinseltown, was a big deal, the start of a provocative era for the franchise, but Luka Doncic was on the bench in street clothes. Just wait until those A-list All-Star Twins take the stage together!
Well, if Wednesday night’s 110-94 victory over the Clippers behind Irving’s 24 points and five assists was just a preview, the Mavericks and their fans are in for an eventful and, they hope, successful ride.
