[MacMahon] The Mavs are in uncharted territory: They won a Game 1 under Jason Kidd for the first time, beating the Wolves on the road in the opener. Kyrie Irving kept the Mavs in it during the first half, and Luka Doncic came through as the closer on both ends of the floor.

We lost game 1 vs Warriors last time and they won the chip. Winning it this time means we’re winning this series confirmed.
Didn’t we beat Utah in game 1, when Luka sat out due to injury?
The earth can be a triangle for all I care if this is how Kyrie is gonna play
Fucking LUKA man. 33/6/8/3/1

I kept seeing Wolves fans say KAT is gonna dominate PJ in the post and that mf shot 6/20
WE WILL AVENGE THE JOKER
Were ahead of schedule boys!
I was so prepared for a loss tonight that it almost worries me we won! 😂 I’m not complaining though. I don’t know why I can’t help but fall into superstitious thinking when it comes to sports 🤦♂️

“I got Kyrie” he said
Luka himself said they were tired of the game 1 noise, this team is special as fuck. Easily my favorite team since 2011
LUKA 1st Team ALL-NBA!
Without that one bench player getting 4/4 from three, it would have been 108-93
6 of 28 on threes. Only going up from here. Let’s go
MAVS!!!!
Mavs actually hitting their freethrows helped massively.
It’s true. I was fully expecting an L tonight. This is scary.
Mavs also survived a Charles Barkley pregame prediction they’d win. So this win counts as 2. I’m just sayin’.
I need to learn to stop being such a bitch and just let it all unfold in front of me. My main bitch mode gripe is Kidd letting bad shit happen for many possessions and no timeouts. My goal for next game is to just watch and try to distract my self somehow when I’m screaming for a timeout
I’m glad we won game 1. People were getting too comfortable losing lol
Only 25/1230 games this season were won with 6 or fewer 3s made
Just when you think you have the answers we change the questions!
The wolves are GASSED!
The plan is working.

Bizzaro game.
Kyrie needs to play like this most of the series for it to be competitive. He is the X-factor for this series.
Was just thinking that Minny will likely never adopt a full on blitz and double team strategy on LuKai because Jaden and Ant fancy themselves elite defenders and can make it difficult 1v1. Jaden can’t defend Luka, and Ant frankly is covering Ky because anybody else would get cooked on D.
