LOS ANGELES (AP) — Kyrie Irving scored 24 points in his Dallas debut and the Mavericks defeated the Los Angeles Clippers 110-104. The eight-time All-Star was traded to the Mavs on Sunday from the Brooklyn Nets. Irving was part of a 13-0 spurt early in the game, scoring eight points on a jumper and back-to-back 3-pointers. Irving had four rebounds and five assists in 37 minutes of what amounted to a dress rehearsal before injured Luka Doncic returns to give the Mavs a powerhouse backcourt. The Clippers were led by Norman Powell with 24 points.
