He can’t struggle to shoot the way he did earlier in the year. There’s probably a happy medium between the reckless running and the excruciating slow Mavericks pace that they’ll find the next few months. There didn’t seem to be any awkwardness with the fit on the court. He could’ve scored more but seemed to be extra willing to make the right play. I’ve often written that the Mavericks should pick up their pace, and not by a little. The Mavericks started the game red hot, hitting 9-of-13 shots from behind the arc in the first quarter. But Irving also seemed to be playing cautious at times, trying to find exactly where he fit into the Dallas offense. But it wasn’t in the stars. Tim Hardaway Jr., Reggie Bullock, and even Theo Pinson hit key shots to preserve the Mavericks’ lead. [Dallas Mavericks](https://www.mavsmoneyball.com) defeated the [Los Angeles Clippers](https://www.clipsnation.com) Wednesday night in Los Angeles, winning 110-104. The Mavericks continued hitting just enough shots in the fourth quarter to keep the lead, and the Clippers offense sputtered. They scored 41 (nice) points total in the first 12 minutes.

I can play off the ball, I can cut. It’s the first time I ever got traded in the middle of the season, so it was new for me, but I’m excited that I’m here. So they’re just getting used to playing with me and just seeing how many open shots I can create for them and the double-teams that are coming.

The newly acquired All-Star started out strong in his first Mavs game, but also had thoughts on his former teammate's move from Brooklyn.

He tries to play the game the right way by moving and setting screens for his teammates,” Kidd said. “It was pretty easy to tell what he was going after when I was playing with him. “The beauty of Kai is he is all about winning. Irving said he followed the same approach when he played with other star players, including Durant and LeBron James. “I don’t want to force anything on him or do anything that is out of my norm.” He played that tonight with his teammates.” Some of Irving’s teammates said they felt the same way after he told them during Tuesday’s practice and Wednesday’s shootaround “to have fun.” The rest of the Mavericks starting lineup also scored in double figures, including Tim Hardaway Jr. Irving experienced what he called a “long 96 hours” that included little sleep and lots of packing after the Brooklyn Nets “It felt like he’s been here for a while.” “He works on his craft. “I’m just praying for his happiness and praying for his well-being. We’ve just tried to understand each other a lot and grow as human beings and grow as brothers.”

Kyrie Irving came out charging in his Dallas debut, keying a big run to open the game and sparking his new teammates in front of a cheering Luka Doncic.

We just tried to understand each other a lot better and grow as human beings, grow as brothers. Irving had four rebounds and five assists in 37 minutes of what amounted to a dress rehearsal before Doncic returns to give the Mavs a powerhouse backcourt. There was still a level of uncertainty, but we just cared about seeing each other be places that we can thrive – whether that be together, whether that be apart. He was part of a 13-0 spurt early in the game, scoring eight points on a jumper and back-to-back three-pointers. “The comfort level he feels with us, you could see it in the game. It’s the first time I ever got traded in the middle of the season, so it was new for me, but I’m excited that I’m here.”

Frankly, I can't possibly be expected to write coherent thoughts after the Kevin Durant trade; after all, I cover the Suns primarily.

Green was a +1 in the 2-point loss, one of just three Rockets with a positive mark for the game, though one of his four turnovers was key in Sacramento’s 7-0 run to close the game. Bam Adebayo starred with a game-high 38 points on an insanely efficient 12-16 FG (75.0%); it’s the second-highest total of his career.

It was a more star-oriented effort for Philly, who saw Joel Embiid and James Harden combine for 54 points on 19-35 (54.3%). No matter though as they shot the cover off the ball, 40-76 (52.6%) overall and 19-35 (54.3%) from deep. Jarrett Allen led all scorers with 20 (9-13 FG) to go with his 15 rebounds.
