 Irving, the second-best player on the club, has been having a fantastic playoffs.

But through the first two games, the 2016 NBA Champion is shooting 0/8 from three-point range and 13/37 from the field.

Irving's difficulties are particularly notable because All-Star Luka Doncic has had outstanding games.

After playing 42 minutes in Sunday's loss, Doncic finished with 32 points, 11 rebounds, 11 assists, and four steals while shooting 12/21 from the field and 4/9 from three points.

The Celtics were led by 2021 NBA Champion Jrue Holiday, who shot 2/4 from three-point range and 11/14 from the field while totaling 26 points, 11 rebounds, three assists, one steal, and one block.

The Mavs are now in a 2-0 hole, but Games 3 and 4 of the series will be at home in Dallas.
Game 3 will be on Wednesday evening.
