Wrap-Up -- There isn’t much that Kyrie Irving hasn’t done in his already-brilliant five-year NBA career. But winning a game in Indiana was one of them – until Monday night.
Irving and Co. had to play some bonus hoops to get the job done after relinquishing a double-digit halftime lead, but eventually the Wine and Gold overcame the Pacers in overtime – winning their fifth straight game, 111-106, at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.
As he’s done throughout that five-year career, Irving saved his best for last – notching 15 of his game-high 25 points in the fourth period and overtime, including a pull-up jumper with 44 seconds to play in regulation to tie the game at 96-apiece and back-to-back buckets early in the extra-session that turned a one-point deficit into a three-point lead.
