Kyrie Irving scores 18 points as Celtics are obliterated by Cavaliers at home
Boston Celtics guard Kyrie Irving scored 18 points (7-of-14 field goals, 3-of-4 free throws) with 3 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 3-pointer, and 2 turnovers in 26.2 minutes of Sunday's 121-99 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
What It Means:
Irving went 1-for-7 on threes and he's now just 4-for-19 (21.1 percent) from beyond the arc over the past three games. He didn't play at all in the fourth quarter due to the lopsided score. The Celtics only play once again before the All-Star break, on Wednesday versus the Los Angeles Clippers.
Kyrie scored 27.1 FanDuel points on Sunday, compared to his average of 37.5 FanDuel points per game for the season.
