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

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

Some nice offensive chemistry from the trio here. pic.twitter.com/cMgLmBpeAr

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

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
