The Dallas Mavericks’ playoff series against the Oklahoma City Thunder took a dramatic turn Monday night, as the Thunder rallied for a 100-96 victory<\/a> to even the series at 2-2. The Mavericks’ superstar players, Luka Doncic<\/a> and Kyrie Irving<\/a>, have come under scrutiny for their inconsistent performance in the NBA playoffs.<\/p>\n

Despite their impressive defensive efforts, the team’s offense has struggled to find its rhythm, leading to crucial losses. Former NBA player Tim Legler<\/a> recently weighed in on the issue, criticizing Doncic and Irving for failing to step up when it matters most.<\/p>\n

“They did great last night in every area, except for one crucial aspect – their two best offensive players didn’t step up when it mattered most,” Legler pointed out. <\/p>\n

The numbers back Legler up: Irving scored a mere 9 points, while Doncic managed 18 on 20 shots. Legler was blunt in his assessment: “Last night, Kyrie and Luka combined for as many field goals as Lou Dort and Chet Holmgren<\/a>. That’s unacceptable. They struggled to get a big bucket when it counted.”<\/p>\n
