Boston Celtics fans, avert your eyes. Kyrie Irving is at it again.
The Cleveland point guard scored 17 points in the first half of Monday night’s Game 1 between the Cavaliers and Chicago Bulls, including one stretch with 10 consecutive points.
Irving razzled and dazzled his way to a four-game sweep of the Boston Celtics last month, and it seems he’s up to the same tricks in the Eastern Conference semifinals. This incredible play served as a jaw-dropping microcosm of Irving’s night through 24 minutes.
The Cavaliers lead the Bulls, 49-44, at halftime. Bulls point guard Derrick Rose has gone toe-to-toe with Irving to begin the night, scoring 16 points.
