Boston Celtics superstar Kyrie Irving is a magician with the basketball. His insane handles were on full display in this razzle-dazzle behind-the-back move in transition midway through the third quarter against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Come on Kyrie, don't do that to Alex Caruso!
Without a doubt, Kyrie Irving possesses one, if not the best handles in the league. He certainly got some “ooh's” and “aah's” from the crowd at Staples with that display of wizardry.
The Celtics have now rattled off three consecutive wins with their recently concluded victory over the Lakers. They kicked off their winning streak with a 128-95 beatdown of the defending champion Golden State Warriors at the Oracle Arena.
Irving finished with 30 points on 12-of-18 shooting and added seven rebounds and five assists to lead Boston to a 120-107 victory on Saturday night. Marcus Smart and Marcus Morris added 16 points apiece, while Gordon Hayward contributed 15 off the bench.
It's almost an understatement at this point to say that the Celtics have been one of the most disappointing teams in the league so far. This was magnified especially after they lost seven matches in a 10-game stretch from February 8 to March 4. One of those losses included an embarrassing defeat to the lowly Chicago Bulls.
However, it appears like Kyrie and crew have turned it around for the time being, especially with their impressive victory over Golden State. Are the Celtics finally ready to show that they are the true team to beat in the East?
