INDIANAPOLIS – Kyrie Irving doesn’t shy away from much. That includes shouldering the blame following a heartbreaking loss on the road.
Whether it was deserved or not, Irving walked in front of the media Saturday night inside of Boston’s locker room and took ownership for Boston’s 102-101 loss to the Pacers.
“This one was my responsibility,” he said.
That’s leadership.
The All-Star point guard felt responsibility for the loss for multiple reasons, which stemmed from both ends of the court. He felt he could have been more effective at his job, and could have put his team in better position to grab a win.
