Irving finished the game with 24 points, nine assists and seven rebounds.

"Sometimes I spend just an hour straight just working on straight left-hand stuff," Irving said of his game-winner. "Just being a small guard, you've just got to have a multitude of finishes. And that's something I've been working on since I was a kid."

Denver gave itself a shot, rallying back from a 13-point deficit. Jamal Murray hit a tiebreaking 3-pointer with 26 seconds left. Murray finished with 23 points.
