The Oklahoma City Thunder are facing elimination against the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday, but star guard Kyrie Irving calls this series the most challenging of his career.
Things have not come easy to the Oklahoma City Thunder in their first second round appearance since 2016. The youngest No. 1 seed of all time faces elimination on Saturday against the Dallas Mavericks in Game 6.
Still, they are tasked with prolonging the series on the road against Luka Doncic and company. Doncic’s co-star Kyrie Irving is a perfect 13-0 in close out games to this point in his career and will look to keep that streak alive in Game 6. This might come as a surprise, considering Irving has played in the NBA Finals against the Golden State Warriors at their peak. Though, the veteran guard went on to explain what makes this matchup so challenging.
Irving discussed what’s made his scoring so scares this series is the amount of athletes the Thunder can throw at him.
