Kyrie Irving on Ramadan: 'To be able to play 48 minutes and not have a drink or eat any food is nothing short of a miracle'
Grant Afseth: Kyrie Irving on playing during Ramadan and gives credit to God: ” Ramadan is a special month, so it’s a special time and just try not to think about the suffering too much and really focus on the journey with God and the path that you’re on and, and just stay focused on that and stay disciplined. It’s a difficult journey, and to be able to play 48 minutes and not have a drink or eat any food is nothing short of a miracle, so there’s definitely a universal God out there that’s protecting me, and I have to give credit to him.”

Payton Pritchard’s 13 assists Sunday were not only a career-high, they were the most by a Celtic in 128 games (Smart vs. Charlotte, Nov. 28, 2022).
Most in a road game since Kyrie Irving had 13 at Memphis Dec. 29, 2018.
Last Celtic with more in a road game? Rajon Rondo in 2014. – 2:38 AM

Interesting #FunFacts IMHO…
Mavs (25-15) when Luka & Kyrie play.
(12-6) when LuKai combine for 60+.
(14-14) when one or both don’t play. – 11:47 PM

Six years ago, right around this time. Luka had that incredible dunk in Denver to give the Mavericks the lead, only for it to go for naught when Jokic hit a GW over Powell at the horn. Kyrie over Jokic was the payback for that – 7:50 PM

Seeing comments saying similar to “well, it took the Nuggets playing poorly” … but … are we to just ignore how the Mavs played? (26 3PT%, 42 FG% … plus both Luka/Kyrie not great overall shooting games?)
The Nuggets are a better team but don’t pretend this was the Mavs best – 6:28 PM

That Kyrie game-winner reminds me a bit of Tim Duncan’s almost-game-winner in the Derek Fisher 0.4 seconds game.
Denver couldn’t have defended it better. Kyrie had one possible angle to take that shot and he sank it. – 6:03 PM
