Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo combine for 20 points.
Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving total 54.
That’s the game right there.
Can’t expect Tyler Herro and Kevin Love to do all of the heavy lifting. – 9:52 PM

Mr. Irving took over the end minutes of the first quarter, scoring Dallas’ final 10 points in the last 2:44.
Mavericks 33, Heat 24. Doncic has 13 points but also 3 fouls. Irving was scoreless until that late binge. – 8:10 PM

If you’re Jason Kidd and the bracket is set after tonight, You might want to rest players. If so, he probably opts to rest Luka vs det, etc. and let Kyrie chase his million. So Kyrie might want to go for it tonight when he still has his best reinforcements – 3:53 PM
