Kyrie Irving has always had that killer instinct that’s required to be a great player in today’s NBA. Irving has never been scared of the moment, and that included every crucial Finals game this postseason.
Of course, every game in the Finals is important, but down 1-3 in the series, Irving put up 41 points on 17/24 shooting in Game 5, 23 points on 7/18 in Game 6, and 26 points on 10/23 in Game 7, including the game winning three-pointer with under a minute to go.
