It's not a surprise that Irving nailed those long-distance bombs. After all, he's a certified killer in the clutch. Not only has he done it in regular-season games, but he also did it on basketball's biggest stage, the NBA Finals.
In their 130-125 win, Kyrie Irving finished with a game-high 38 points on 12-of-28 shooting from the field, 4-of-11- from downtown, and a perfect 10-of-10 from the free-throw line. He also tallied seven assists and three rebounds. Marcus Morris and Marcus Smart chipped in 27 and 18 points, respectively.
John Wall, for his part, wasn't far behind as he led the Wizards with 34 points and 13 assists. Backcourt partner Bradley Beal added 22 points, seven rebounds, and four assists. Jeff Green also contributed 22 points.
The win extends the Celtics' streak to seven games. They'll head back to Boston to host the Atlanta Hawks on Friday.
The Wizards, meanwhile, have dropped three straight. They have an opportunity to snap their slump on Friday when they face the Brooklyn Nets in New York.
