BOSTON -- Kyrie Irving knows exactly what Collin Sexton is going through. Irving was a rookie once, looked at as a beacon of hope for a shattered Cavaliers franchise, all while trying to find his way against older, more polished and ruthless point guards in the NBA.
What Irving did to Sexton Friday night in Boston happened to him plenty of times. Irving still remembers his first ever game, although some details are a touch foggy.
Playing against Toronto's Jose Calderon, Irving scored just six points on 2-of-12 from the field and 1-of-5 from 3-point range to go with seven assists (Irving said Friday night he had six assists that night).
