How he sets himself for this three, and nails it with balance, I’ll never know. pic.twitter.com/PnrXaIVJKK

1, 2, 3 defenders, that’s the amount of defenders he hit the layup over. pic.twitter.com/hde3G3QtPt

The Allen screen gives him all the space in the world for the three. pic.twitter.com/Y90rx1suXy

Gets his body in a good position to prevent Wiggins from affecting the layup. pic.twitter.com/RTb2ixfwkD

Harris and Jordan both set good enough screens to give Irving the space for the three.

Awesome two man game with LeVert.

Dishes it to Caris before he passes back to Irving who’s moving with speed and ends up finishing on the reverse. pic.twitter.com/1s7DdjECWM
He might’ve scored 50 points but this is my favourite play of his. A perfectly timed bounce to the cutting LeVert. pic.twitter.com/GUTFAewf8V

Prince’s screen draws the extra defender to Kyrie who then makes the smooth dish to him on the roll. pic.twitter.com/nW2hUOl5gN

Repays the favour to Harris with a delectable behind the back pass. pic.twitter.com/WFcLZOS1Fe

Some more dazzling displays with the dribble, going into the jumper. pic.twitter.com/kM3t9pxI6N

LeVert penetrates while Irving punishes Teague who loses track of him. The interior cut leads to an easy assist down low. pic.twitter.com/fBrSqjgXwB

Another nice behind the back pass, this time to Allen who finishes with the off hand hook. pic.twitter.com/vA759kwFLM

Misses the first three and automatically hunts the board, doesn’t get it but finds space on the perimeter for the three anyway. pic.twitter.com/1zXPR5vMVB
