VIDEO: Kyrie Irving makes Evan Turner dance, nails buzzer beater
David Richard-USA TODAY Sports
Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Kyrie Irving quieted his doubters on Sunday.
Many pundits were concerned about Irving's lack of postseason experience, but Irving looked dominant in his debut. Playing against the Boston Celtics in Game 1, Irving scored 20 points in the first half on 8-of-12 shooting as he helped Cleveland to an eight-point edge after two quarters.
That includes a buzzer-beating triple after putting Celtics swingman Evan Turner on skates.
