BOSTON - Boston Celtics guard Kyrie Irving finished with 27 points and a career-high 18 assists in the team’s 117-108 win over the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday night. Despite the impressive performance, all of the focus surrounding the all-star guard will be in regards to his postgame comments about former teammate LeBron James.
The Celtics loss on Saturday in Orlando seemed to push Irving to the brink. He called out his younger teammates in a 400-plus word soliloquy, discussing how this group lacks experience. Everyone heard it, everyone shared their opinion on it.
