Kyrie Irving, Celtics go down without a fight
Boston Celtics guard Kyrie Irving scored 15 points (6-of-21 field goals, 2-of-2 free throws) with 1 rebound, 1 assist, 1 steal, 1 3-pointer, and 3 turnovers in 33.3 minutes of a 116-91 Game 5 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday.
What It Means:
Irving went just 1-of-7 from beyond the arc and failed to shake off his shooting struggles. He shot just 30.1 percent from the field in Games 2-5, all losses, after coming out strong in Game 1. The 27-year-old is an impending unrestricted free agent, so this may have been his final game in a Celtics uniform.
Kyrie finished with 17.7 FanDuel points in Game 5.
