Dallas Mavericks Star Kyrie Irving Calls OKC Thunder Series 'Most Challenging' of his Career

Things have not come easy to the Oklahoma City Thunder in their first second round appearance since 2016. As the Thunder have labored to score and are a disastrous Free Throw outing from the Mavericks away from already being eliminated, their defense has kept the majority of these contests competitive. If Oklahoma City enjoyed even a relatively normal shooting night at any point in this series, the outlook for the 57-win squad would be different. 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.
