#2 Irving makes a good comeback but fails to win the game, Celtics struggled offensively
With over 3 seconds remaining on the game-clock Kyrie Irving received an inbound pass. He was locked down on his strong right so decided to drive the lane from the other half. He finished taking a rather ugly lay-up which failed to go in. The final play was set up for Morris but Kyrie ended up with the ball instead. This wasn't the first time that Celtics had a mess-up with the final possession.
In the first half, Kyrie scored just 2 points on 1-of-10 shooting. It was the second half where he lit up and added 20 points including 4-of-6 from the arc.
