Irving knew he just had to take over the game.

With the Celtics now leading the series 1-0, the momentum is clearly on their side. Irving has been talking about how different they would be in the playoffs, and he's backing those statements up so far. The team has yet to lose in the postseason, and they just dominated the team with the best record in the league.

But the Celtics are not being too confident about one win. They know that the Bucks will bounce back, and they will be ready for it. They will make the necessary adjustments, and they will be ready to take Game 2 as well.

Same goes for Irving. If he feels that it will be better for him to just be the facilitator, he'll have no problems with it. But if he knows that it's time for him to take over, he'll definitely deliver.
