Kyrie Irving reminded the NBA community why he remains one of the most lethal scorers in the league, scoring 60 points in 35 minutes of action in a 150–108 win against the Magic on Tuesday.
The 60-point performance gave the seven-time All-Star a new career high in points. Irving did most of his damage in the first half against Orlando, pouring in 41—the second-most points in a half over the last 25 years behind Lakers legend Kobe Bryant, per AP’s Tim Reynolds.
Irving went 20-of-31 from the floor including 8-of-12 from three-point range and 12-of-13 from the free-throw line.
