OKLAHOMA CITY, OK — Kyrie Irving and Al Horford would not let the Celtics be denied Friday night.
Irving scored 22 of his 25 points in the second half while Al Horford connected on all four of his 3-point shots to rescue the Celtics from an 18-point halftime deficit and lead Boston to an improbable 101-94 road win over the Oklahoma City Thunder Friday night.
Irving and Horford scored 39 of Boston’s 64 second-half points. The Celtics have won seven straight after starting the season 0-2, a first in NBA history.
