Brotherhood Playoff Watch - Kyrie Irving And Dereck Lively Top Mason Plumlee And The L.A. Clippers

Bad news for Grayson Allen though

Two playoff games involving Brotherhood members on Tuesday as Dallas nipped the LA Clipper 96-93 and Phoenix fell to Minnesota,

In the first game, Kyrie Irving raked up 26 for the Mavericks and also picked up six rebounds, three assists and three steals. Dereck Lively, coming off the bench after an injury and missing time due to his mother’s death, had seven points and nine rebounds.

Mason Plumlee, still a valuable veteran, came off the bench for one point and five boards.

In the second game, Grayson Allen, who has become a valuable member of the Phoenix Suns, aggravated an ankle injury and was thus limited to 17 minutes and just three points. He did have five assists though.

Wendell Moore did get in for Minnesota but only for two minutes and didn't score.
