Why Trusting Kyrie Irving Was the Right Play vs Victor Wembanyama & Spurs

The Dallas Mavericks fell 1 point short of the San Antonio Spurs after Victor Wembanyama put up 52 points, 24 rebounds and 8 blocks, while Kyrie Irving and Cooper Flagg led a second-half Mavs comeback. How did a Mavs small-ball lineup outscore the Spurs 60-44 after halftime, and did Dallas put the final shot in the wrong hands in one of the NBA’s wildest games of the young season? Nick Angstadt and Slightly Biased break down Kyrie Irving’s 29-point night, Cooper Flagg’s turnaround from a 1-of-11 first half, and Dusty May’s late-game decisions against the San Antonio Spurs. They get into why Walter Clayton Jr. closed the game over Marcus Sasser, how Naji Marshall and PJ Washington swung the fourth quarter, and why Daniel Gafford and Zaccharie Risacher sat for most of the second half. Plus: Morez Johnson Jr.’s minutes restriction, the rebounding problems, Sergio De Larrea’s role, and whether anyone in the NBA can stop Victor Wembanyama.
