Kyrie Irving's absolutely absurd play put his superior skills on display
Kyrie Irving had a poor shooting night (14 points on 4-of-13 shooting) in Boston's series-clinching win over the Pacers, but it didn't matter. Gordon Hayward, Marcus Morris and Terry Rozier combined for 49 bench points, and the Celtics move on to the Eastern Semi-Finals. But one specific play by Kyrie needs attention.
Still can’t get over how absurd this Kyrie Irving play is. Great hands to force that TO, incredible body control to save the ball before he goes OOB, and that accurate behind-the-back pass to Morris. It all happened so fast it shook Turner. https://t.co/SHoVAiePLf

I honestly cannot add much to chicinthegeek's above tweet. It was absolutely an indescribable play by Irving. As I watched the game, it happened so fast, I needed to do a rewind twice. That was such a hustle play, and Kyrie's superior skills were put on display. The great hands, body control, behind-the-back pass, the fast break and the score were all there. The Celts got the clinching win and move on in the playoffs.
