Kyrie Irving is drawing from the experience of Cleveland's 2016 NBA Finals comeback as he attempts to help dig the Dallas Mavericks out of an 0-2 hole against the Boston Celtics on Wednesday.The Mavericks host their first game of the NBA Finals on Wednesday, desperate for victory after dropping the opening two road games of the best-of-seven series in Boston last week.
Boston are two wins away from raising their 18th NBA championship banner.
Dallas star Kyrie Irving delivered another dud in Boston, but said his hostile reception from Celtics fans isn't the major problem facing the Mavericks as they try to bounce back from an NBA Finals game one defeat."They have had my number a little bit," Irving acknowledged, but insisted the Mavericks -- led by Slovenian star Luka Doncic -- have the talent to turn things around if they can step it up defensively.
