We can assume Kyrie Irving was verbally aggressive in the post-game, closed-door meeting following the loss to Milwaukee, and he got his team on track right out of the gate versus the Hornets last night. Kyrie was all over the place in the first quarter, scoring 17 points before the quarter ended. The much-needed 119-103 blowout was more than welcome.
Celtics 119, Hornets 103
Kyrie Irving scored 17 of his 25 points in the first quarter and then the post-closed-door-meeting Celtics tore things open with a 39-point second frame.
