Suiting up for his first postseason with the Boston Celtics, Kyrie Irving played a pivotal part in leading the Celtics to five straight playoff wins.
But Tuesday night in Milwaukee, the Irving the Celtics have become accustomed to seeing in this postseason was nowhere to be found. Irving turned in a downright ugly performance as the C’s suffered their first setback of the postseason with the Bucks dismantling Boston, 123-102, to even the series at 1-1.
Irving shot a dreadful 4-for-18 (22.2%) from the floor and was held to just nine points.
