Kyrie Irving plays with a chip on his shoulder, but he usually lets his game do all the talking, breaking opponents ankles and making tough shots from all over the court. Tonight, Cavs fans got to see a little fiery side of Irving.
Early in the first quarter, Irving shoves Sixers’ Justin Anderson into his team’s bench and was called for a flagrant foul. Upon review, it looked like Irving just pushed Anderson, but the replay showed Anderson getting away with a push-off on LeBron James.
