The talk around Boston lately has been whether Kyrie Irving is getting enough touches late in close games. Well, given the outcome of tonight’s game against the Toronto Raptors, consider those questions answered.
Irving was phenomenal (and the Raptors were not) in a closing 17-4 run by the home Celtics, which secured them a 117-108 win over Toronto. The Raptors fall to 33-13 with the loss and a half game back of Milwaukee for tops in the East. Boston improves to 26-18.
Once again, the Raptors came into this game missing some key rotation pieces.
