Kyrie Irving Carries Cleveland Cavaliers with New Playoff Career-High in Game 4 Win

By Anthony Blake

For those who had a tough time imagining a situation where LeBron James would sit with four fouls and the Cleveland Cavaliers would actually come back to take the lead, meet Kyrie Irving.

The Cavs point guard really showed his skills against the Boston Celtics in Game 4, with this deep triple finishing off a 21-point third quarter for him.

But this move to the rim to set a new career-high in the NBA Playoffs was really the signature mark on Irving’s evening.

So LeBron in foul trouble, the Cavs licking their wounds after a home loss in the previous and this is still what the stat line looks like for Irving?

The @cavs take 3-1 series lead, defeat @celtics 112-99, on @kyrieirving’s 42!

Good luck to Boston even getting this series beyond Game 5.
