NEW YORK — The Celtics started a fresh win streak last night — an important accomplishment when other teams near the top of the Eastern Conference are improving — and Kyrie Irving believes it’s time for the blinders.
“It’s about us right now. That’s where that stands. We just want to find that consistency,” Irving said. “And then we keep hammering on it because we want to have carryover from game to game, understanding what we can improve on individually and as a team, and just going out there and executing.”
As the Celtics discovered in the five games leading into the All-Star break, execution can be a challenge.
