“(Pinson) told me after the game he was unsure whether or not he was going to make (the shot).” “I had Theo (Pinson) wide open underneath the rim. So I think he got a chance to do that (Friday) and we came out again on top.”īefore getting the ball to Kleber in the waning seconds, Irving saw other options he thought about turning to. “As hoopers and players, we really want to take care of the basketball at the end of the game and win. “I felt like that (game-winning three-pointer) was a redemption shot for him as well because he was putting a lot of pressure on himself after that turnover in San Antonio, and rightfully so. “I’m glad that it worked out for Maxi,” Irving said. Kleber, though, made up for those twin mistakes against the Spurs when he went on a personal 6-0 run down the stretch and became the hero in the game against the Lakers. But a turnover by Kleber on the inbounds pass, then Keldon Johnson slipped behind Kleber for a lob dunk that tied the game and sent it into overtime. The Mavs had the ball and a two-point lead with just 1.8 seconds remaining in Wednesday’s game in San Antonio.
