The Charlotte Hornets are going to have nightmares of Kyrie Irving for the next few weeks. The Brooklyn Nets and Hornets entered the game with the exact same record and a tie for eighth place in the Eastern Conference.
Irving dropped a casual 50-piece in Charlotte. Normally, a 50-point performance is impressive in its own right. This particular performance was special due to the efficiency of Irving as much as the total sum of points.
His official stat line: 50 points on 15-for-19 from the field, 9-for-12 from three, and 11-for-13 from the charity stripe.
