Prime Draymond and Prime Klay was a far better defender than Ant, but even they struggled guarding Kyrie. You can make an argument that they faced prime Kyrie, but Kyrie still got the moves to cook anyone even today.

Excellent point. Prime Klay Thompson was a great defender and much better than Walmart Jordan. Prime Kyrie was a beast... Ant Man is lucky..hes not playing against Prime Kyrie..

That was good basketball and gave me that old school playoffs vibe. Kyrie showed why he is my favorite player. That's saying something coming from a 57 year old from Chicago who was there for the Bulls historic era. I can't watch a lot of today's games but I couldn't turn away from this one. Kyrie doesn't have to say how good he is, his game screams it to the heavens.

[@aaronmcintosh4805]

I don’t think people realize how good them 2 in Dallas really are. The shots Kyrie was making in Ant and them boys all game? Then Luka. Didn’t he score 15 in the 4th? And that’s against real defenders on the road? Unreal.

Great win by the Mavs as they win their first Game 1 (first for Jason Kidd as the Mavs head coach) since the 2021 NBA Western Conference First Round! The Mavs are still undefeated against the Wolves all-time in postseason play!
