Recap: Kyrie outduels Kawhi in epic Celtics win
Holy crap, this was fun. It may be late November but this game sure had the feel of an intense playoff game in May.
Kyrie Irving (43 points, 19 in the 4th, 18-26 FG, 11 assists) was flat out ridiculous. This was his best game as a Celtic as Boston beat the Raptors 123-116.
Jayson Tatum (21 points, 7 rebounds, 2 steals) was also clutch. The kid didn’t bring it for the full 53 minutes (just 2 points, 1-5 FG in 1st half) but he showed up when it mattered.
What went well
Everything Kyrie touched? The man shot 69% against the Raptors! He was often guarded by Kawhi Leonard, aka the best defensive player in the universe. And… he made some solid plays on the defensive end.
