On Saturday afternoon, the Dallas Mavericks are playing the Oklahoma City Thunder (at home) for Game 3 of their second-round playoff series.

Kyrie Irving had 11 points, three rebounds, seven assists and one block while shooting 5/12 from the field and 2/5 from the three-point range in his first 28 minutes of playing time.

He also made NBA history by moving ahead of Carmelo Anthony (1,914) and Chet Walker (1,916) for 72nd on the all-time playoff points list.

Following Anthony and Walker, the next player for Irving to pass will be Walt Frazier (1,927).
