CARIS LEVERT DROPS 51 POINTS AS NETS ERASE 21-POINT DEFICIT, DEFEAT BOSTON 129-120

Celtics fans got loud and rowdy up 21 points in the third quarter chanting, “WHERE IS KYRIE?!” as the Nets were en route to a fifth straight loss — eighth straight in Boston.

It sparked a charge in Caris LeVert, one we haven’t seen throughout his entire career: A 51-point night.

LeVert got going in the fourth quarter, draining 3-pointer after 3-pointer, bringing the Nets within two points in the final two minutes, his 34th point of the night.

But he wasn’t done just yet.

The Celtics did everything they could to escape with the win.
