Kyrie Irving's Shooting Is the Key to His Playoff Success

The Boston Celtics are up on the Cleveland Cavaliers 43-33.

Offensive foul on LeBron James.

It's the first half of Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals, and the Cavs, it appears, are hosed.

The King had 10 of his team's first 33 points, and sidekick Kyrie Irving was off to a slow start, with just six points on 1-of-4 shooting. But the moment James' fanny hit the pine, Irving kicked it into Uncle Drew mode.

Kyrie's Mind-Blowing Game 4

After James' fourth foul, Irving played a total of 28:44, during which he produced 36 points on 14-of-18 shooting, including a 4-of-7 effort from three-point land, and hitting all 4 attempts from the stripe.
