Kyrie Irving, Celtics rally from 22 down to top Suns 116-109 in OT

PHOENIX (AP) — When their shots finally started to fall, the Boston Celtics couldn’t be stopped.

Kyrie Irving scored 18 of his season-high 39 points in the fourth quarter and overtime, and Boston rallied from a 22-point deficit for a 116-109 win over the Phoenix Suns on Thursday night.

Irving scored Boston’s first six points in the extra period, and Marcus Morris finished with 17 against his former team — including the tying 3-pointer with 1.1 seconds left in regulation off a feed from Irving.

Morris hit from the top of the arc to tie it at 100.
