Wounded warriors Kyrie Irving & Gordon Hayward bright spots in loss to Raptors

The Celtics lost to the Raptors 113-101 last night - newly-acquired Kawhi Leonard looked unstoppable - Al Horford had close to a triple-double - but the real story was the improved play of Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward. In Boston's first regular season game versus Philadelphia, the duo scored a total of 17 points on 6-of-26 from the field and 2-of-11 on treys. The cobwebs from their injuries last season were evident.

Despite the loss, Kyrie and Gordon looked much-improved in this game.
