Suns blow lead, collapse in overtime to Celtics

By the Associated Press

Kyrie Irving scored 18 of his season-high 39 points in the fourth quarter and overtime, and the Boston Celtics rallied from a 22-point deficit for a 116-109 win over the Phoenix Suns on Thursday night.

Irving scored Boston’s first six points in the extra period, and Marcus Morris finished with 17 against his former team – including the tying 3-pointer with 1.1 seconds left in regulation off a pass from Irving.

Morris hit from the top of the arc to tie it at 100. Jaylen Brown added 17 points, all after halftime, for the Celtics.
