Key Moment

Kyrie Irving didn’t log his best performance Saturday night in New York. Still, he managed to come through to when his team needed him to provide some breathing room..

As the contest approached the final minutes of the fourth quarter, with the score tied at 89-89, Irving had logged only 11 points on the night. He had shot only 4-of-14 from the field.

But this guy doesn’t shy away from the moment. He wants the moment, and he owned it Saturday night.

As the contest entered the final four minutes, Irving put the Celtics on his back and fueled the most critical run of the game.
